About Us
An Extraordinary Team of Amarillo Pediatric Dental Specialists & A Comfortable, Fun, Environment For Your Child
Your Local Amarillo, TX Pediatric Dentist
Welcome to Children’s Dentistry of Amarillo, where we’re committed to making your child’s dental experience fun and comfortable. Dr. Metcalf, our experienced pediatric dentist, and his friendly team use the latest dental technology to provide your child with the highest quality care in a welcoming, child-friendly environment.
We understand that going to the dentist can be scary for kids, especially if it’s their first visit or they think of the dentist’s office as a cold, uninviting place. We’ve created a safe and enjoyable space where your child can relax, feel at ease, and have fun with our warm and compassionate team. We’ll even make sure they’re comfortable with colorful glasses to protect their eyes while we take a peek at their teeth!
We’re fluent in Spanish and always happy to welcome new patients to our practice. We also accept Medicaid and welcome private patients, because we believe every child deserves access to excellent dental care.

Appointments
We understand that things come up, especially with busy schedules and little ones! We kindly request a 24-hour notice if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, as that time has been specially reserved just for you. This allows us to offer the spot to another child who may need our care. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
Insurance
Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.

Our Doctors
The Children’s Dentistry of Amarillo Difference
Dr. Billy Metcalf
Unlike most dentists, in addition to specializing in pediatric dentistry, Dr. Billy Metcalf spent several years beyond dental school studying child development and psychology. As a result, he brings both an extensive knowledge of dental care and child care to our practice.
Dr. Ben R. Padilla
Dr. Padilla’s interest in dentistry sparked after spending time in his uncle’s dental practice. Observing his uncle’s work in the office and helping out in the lab as a kid solidified Dr. Padilla’s desire to become a dentist. At West Texas State University, Dr. Padilla earned a BBA in Finance.
