Meet Dr. Jacob Woods
As a first-generation dentist and college graduate, Dr. Woods brings a unique perspective to dental care. Growing up with limited access to dental treatment himself, he’s passionate about providing excellent, affordable care for all backgrounds. After graduating, he completed advanced training in implant surgery, wisdom teeth removal, and endodontics. He chose Dimmitt to continue the legacy of a historic practice while modernizing it with cutting-edge technology. Dr. Woods maintains active membership in the American Dental Association (ADA), Texas Academy of General Dentistry, and Panhandle District Dental Society, completing 25-30 hours of continuing education annually to stay current with the latest dental advances.

The Panhandle experience
New Patients Welcome
If you’re new to Panhandle Dental, we extend a warm welcome to you and your family! Your first visit to our office is an essential step in building a long-lasting, trusting relationship with Dr. Woods and our team. Most new patients are scheduled with our dental hygienist. We’ll take any necessary X-rays and intraoral scans for Dr. Woods to identify any dental concerns, discuss possible solutions and address your unique dental desires. This initial visit typically lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the complexity of your dental case and whether same-day treatment is required.
