The Dentist of Allen is not contracted with any insurance companies, therefore we are considered out-of-network for all dental plans. If you have PPO insurance that allows you to go out of network, we will file it for you. What this means for our patients, is anything not covered by their insurance plan would be billed to them. Our office does this in an effort to keep the costs the same for all patients with or without insurance.

If your temporary came off, just push it back on (it only goes on one way). Give us a call the next business day and we can schedule an appointment to re-cement your temporary crown/bridge. If a temporary breaks and you’re not having any symptoms, be careful with the tooth. Do not chew on that tooth and still brush gently around it. Contact us the next business day to have a new temporary made. If the temporary is in the front of the mouth and it is an aesthetic issue, call the emergency line to have a new temporary made.
Typically the effect will last for 2-3 hours but may last longer depending on how your body metabolizes the anesthetic.
