Lubbock-raised, Lubbock-rooted: meet the doctors behind the practice

Dr. J. Scott Mahaney has called Lubbock home his entire life. He completed his undergraduate studies in Biology at Lubbock Christian University, then went on to earn his dental degree from the University of Texas Dental School in San Antonio. He returned to Lubbock after graduating in 1996 and has been practicing here ever since, building relationships with patients and families across the South Plains for nearly 30 years. From the beginning, his goal was straightforward: own a practice centered on great customer service, quality dental care, and genuine connection with the community he grew up in.

Joining Dr. Mahaney is Dr. Tyler Misko, who brings three years of experience and a shared commitment to conservative, comprehensive care. Together, they serve patients throughout Lubbock and the surrounding West Texas communities, offering a full range of family dental services with a personal touch that's hard to find anywhere else. Dr. Mahaney is a proud member of the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, and the South Plains District Dental Society, and he volunteers several times a year with Lubbock Impact, providing extraction care at no charge to those in need.

A team that knows your name and respects your time

When you walk into our office, you're not just another appointment on the schedule. Our team has been with us for 15 or more years, and that kind of continuity means something. They know our patients, they know their families, and they genuinely care about the people sitting in the chair. That long-tenured stability is one of the things we're most proud of, and it's a big reason why so many of our patients have been coming back year after year.

We also know your time is valuable. One thing we've always prided ourselves on is staying on schedule. You won't be sitting in our waiting room wondering what happened to your appointment. From the moment you check in to the moment you walk out, we work to keep things moving efficiently and courteously. Our office has a warm, rustic feel with stone, wood, and rich colors that make it a comfortable place to be. Operatories are equipped with TVs and monitors, blankets are available if you need them, and the whole experience is designed to put you at ease.

Comprehensive care for your whole family, from cleanings to cosmetic makeovers

Our practice is built around conservative, comprehensive dentistry. That means we take a thorough look at your oral health, walk you through your options clearly, and recommend only what you actually need. We focus heavily on restorative and cosmetic treatment, including crowns, bridges, dentures, fillings, bonding, enamelplasty, and take-home teeth whitening. For patients looking to completely refresh their smile, we offer full cosmetic makeovers tailored to your goals. We also provide oral surgery and extractions, including wisdom teeth and impacted wisdom teeth, and we receive referrals from other doctors for extractions, new patient exams, and restorative care.

For patients who feel anxious about dental visits, we offer laughing gas and oral conscious sedation to help you feel comfortable throughout your appointment. Preventive care, periodontal treatment, night guards, and same-day emergency appointments round out what we provide. Whether you're coming in for a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure, our approach stays the same: give you the information you need, respect your schedule, and deliver care you can feel confident about.
