In most cases, no. Dr. Mohr performs root canals and extractions at Pampa Dental Arts, so you do not need a referral to an endodontist or oral surgeon. Some complex cases may still need a specialist, and if that applies to you, Dr. Mohr will explain why.
What a Referral Usually Involves
Many general dentists refer these procedures out. You then wait for the specialist's office to receive your records and book a separate consultation. Some dental insurance plans also require approval before you can see a specialist.
Each step can add days to your wait, often while you are in pain, and may mean a trip to Amarillo.
Root Canals Without a Referral
If you need a root canal, Dr. Mohr can diagnose and treat the tooth in our office, usually without sending you elsewhere. To learn how root canal treatment works here, visit our root canal FAQ.
Extractions Without a Referral
Dr. Mohr also removes teeth that are badly decayed, broken, or infected. Before an extraction, Dr. Mohr examines the tooth, takes x-rays if needed, and explains whether the tooth can be saved. You leave with clear aftercare instructions that support healing.
