Get to know Endodontist Dr. Chadwick Sargent, who serves patients in Lubbock, Texas.

A highly trained endodontist & root canal specialist, Dr. Sargent joined Dr. Robert Stites at an existing practice with a long history of being the prestigious root canal practice of West Texas. Together, they formed Lubbock Endodontics. 

Located in a state-of-the-art facility, Lubbock Endodontics proudly serves patients throughout Texas in Lubbock, Levelland, Brownfield, and Plainview, as well as throughout New Mexico in Hobbs, Roswell, and Clovis. The expert team of root canal specialists led by Drs. Sargent and Falk are dedicated to providing patients with the highest level of endodontic care. They are expertly trained to save natural teeth that have been compromised by injury, dental disease, or decay, incorporating the latest techniques with the most advanced technology to make the entire experience as anxiety-free and as comfortable as possible.

Born and raised in Duncanville, Texas, Dr. Sargent is a 7th generation Texan. He has been in Lubbock since 1990 and is an honors graduate from Texas Tech University. 

As a freshman in college, he actually researched and diagnosed his own cancer after two physicians were unable to do so. He decided to become a doctor because of this experience and treatment to save his own life. With the loss of his father at a young age and being a cancer survivor, these events made a large impact upon him and shaped his mission to help others – specifically in pain control.

Following graduation from Tech, Dr. Sargent attended Baylor College of Dentistry and graduated with Fourth Scholastic Honors (4th of 80 students) in 2000. While at Baylor, he achieved the Gross Anatomy Top Student Award; was selected for the National Dental Honor Society: Omicron Kappa Upsilon; was selected for the Baylor Odontological Honor Society; achieved the ZIPS Dental Social Fraternity “Top Student” Award; was a participant in the Baylor Pediatric Honors Summer Externship; received the General Dentistry Award; and was appointed by faculty to be a charter student for the Oral Surgery Faculty Student Extender Program (1 of 4). He was also selected for a very competitive full ride scholarship provided by the United States Navy.

Upon graduation, Dr. Sargent was selected and attended a prestigious Advanced Education in General Dentistry program in Southern California. He served over 7 great years in the Navy and while practicing at Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, he was selected to attend the highly sought-after University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Graduate Endodontic Program. Many consider this to be one of the finest endodontic training programs in the world with faculty members making up a dream team of endodontists. 

After completion of his residency, Dr. Sargent served as the Endodontic Department Head at a busy hospital in North Carolina, providing dental trauma and endodontic care to Navy and Marine Corps service men and women. In addition to clinical duties, he was a faculty endodontist who lectured to endodontists in advanced dental training programs at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base. While in the Navy, he achieved the rank of Lieutenant Commander and was a four time recipient of the Naval and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.

Serving as a lecturer, Dr. Sargent has been presenting research at meetings since 2000. He is an active member of the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, and the South Plains Dental Society. 

Endodontics is the dental specialty concerned with the study and treatment of the infected and inflamed dental pulp. Along with two to three years of advanced training beyond dental school, endodontists have incredible precision and hand-eye coordination, making them highly skilled in performing complex treatments. They use the most specialized and advanced technology to treat tooth pain and perform root canal treatments.

After graduating from Texas Tech, Dr. Sargent married his high school sweetheart, Misty. They have three children, and are active in their church and community. 

As a dedicated husband and father, Dr. Sargent has many interests outside of his specialty. He is a Texas Tech sports fanatic. He also enjoys spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, traveling, enjoying life and music, and cooking on his grill.
