East Texas Dental Directory · Kilgore
Dental offices in Kilgore, TX: the complete directory
Seven practices in the City of Stars — family dentists downtown, a kids-focused clinic on Highway 259, and a busy cluster along the Stone Road corridor. Maintained by Premier Dental Academy, a short drive up Highway 259 in Longview.
Kilgore's dental scene, in one paragraph
Kilgore keeps its dentistry close to home: two family practices anchor the older part of town on Broadway and Kay Street, a kids-focused clinic sits right on Highway 259, and the Stone Road corridor has quietly become the town's dental row with three practices within a mile of each other. Between them, Kilgore residents can get general checkups, cosmetic work, implants, dentures, and children's dentistry without ever leaving Gregg County — and when offices this close together compete for good staff, trained dental assistants benefit. That's where our Longview campus up Highway 259 comes in.

Looking for a dentist in Kilgore? A quick word
This list exists because people search for it — and because we drive through Kilgore all the time. A few honest pointers: most practices here are small teams, so call ahead rather than walking in; if you have kids, both the kids-focused clinic on 259 and the family practices see young patients; and if a practice's schedule is full, the next one is rarely more than five minutes away. Details like hours and insurance networks change often, so treat the phone numbers above as your first step.
Want to work in one of these offices instead?
Here's the part we know best. Every practice on this list runs on the same two engines: a front desk that keeps the schedule full and a chairside team that keeps it moving. Dental assistants are the connective tissue — and Kilgore doesn't have a dental assisting school inside city limits. The closest hands-on option is our campus at 2800 Gilmer Rd, Suite 106 in Longview: about 12 weeks, daytime classes two or three days a week, capped at 8 students. Next cohorts start August 17 and August 25 — see the calendar for all dates.
It's a straight shot up Highway 259 — one of the shortest school commutes in East Texas. Tuition is $3,000 paid in full or $3,500 on a plan ($500 down, then the $3,000 balance in weekly or monthly payments). Prefer to skip the drive? The online program is $397 right now (reg. $997), self-paced, and the full $397 transfers as credit toward in-person tuition within 90 days.
