Sometimes, patients are hesitant to ask questions. We never want that to be the case, especially when it comes to something as important as your oral health! If you want to talk to a friendly and knowledgeable member of our team directly, we’re always just a phone call away. You can also read on to learn more; we’ve answered some FAQs right here as well.
What level of education is required to be a dentist?
The road to becoming a dentist requires years of education, advanced training, and an unwavering commitment to continuing education. For Dr. Allen, the first step toward becoming a top-rated dentist in Parker was attending Stephen F. Austin State University. Following graduation, he earned his dental doctorate from Baylor College of Dentistry. Throughout his 20+ year career, he has participated in several continuing education programs and taken classes at Spear Education. His goal is always the same: to use everything he has learned to provide his patients with the absolute best care.
How do I get emergency dental care?
Although patients often assume they should head to the ER, hospitals don’t typically have dentists on staff. So, you should only go there if you are experiencing potentially life-threatening symptoms, like uncontrollable bleeding or trouble breathing. If that’s not the case, then your first call should be to our office. That way, we can learn what’s going on, schedule an emergency exam, and walk you through what to do until your appointment with us.
How much does a dental checkup & cleaning cost in Parker?
Dental checkups and teeth cleanings are something that all patients benefit from. If it’s been more than six months since your last visit, you might be wondering how much you can expect to pay. It depends! After all, if you are insured, you likely won’t have to pay anything out-of-pocket. That’s why we recommend giving us a call if you would like an estimate of the cost. Once we know more about you, including if you’re a new patient and if you have dental insurance, we can provide you with a number.
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
Patients are often concerned about two things when it comes to dental care: pain and price. If you’re worried about the latter, then you’ll be happy to know that we offer several financial solutions, including special offers, to help our patients get the top-tier, painless, and comprehensive dentistry they need without stressing about the cost. So, don’t put off scheduling an appointment; we’re here to help you navigate the financial side of your treatment too!
How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?
If you are experiencing pain – whether it’s a mild, throbbing toothache or considerable sensitivity – don’t hesitate to call our Parker dental office. Once we know more about your situation and symptoms, we can determine if same-day care is needed. The good news is that we can usually see emergency patients before the end of the day, ensuring their pain-free smile is restored in no time.
