The best way to get prompt emergency dental care in Plano is to call us right away. We’ll be able to respond to a call much faster than an email or online appointment request. Describe your situation to our friendly team in as much detail as possible, and we’ll help you with the rest!
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
We try to be sensitive about our patients’ financial circumstances, and offer many ways to save money on quality dental care. Here’s a brief look at how we can help you afford treatment:
- Dental insurance. We work with all major dental plans, so don’t hesitate to ask us about your coverage.
- CareCredit and Cherry financing. Since we’re partnered with these organizations, we can offer patients a variety of little-to-no-interest monthly payment plans.
- In-house dental plan. If you don’t have dental insurance, you might be interested in our very own discount plan.
Can I receive sedation for my dental appointment?
Yes – at Antoon Family Dental of Plano, we offer two options for dental sedation. Nitrous oxide (a.k.a. laughing gas) is a mild but effective sedative that works quickly and has virtually no recovery time. IV sedation is administered through the vein, and is often more ideal for patients with severe symptoms of anxiety or discomfort.
If you think dental sedation could help you have a more positive treatment experience, we encourage you to call us well ahead of your appointment. That way, we can help you choose the best sedation option for you.
Are denture adhesives safe?
Generally speaking, denture adhesives are safe. However, it’s possible to overuse them. Many products contain zinc, which can be dangerous when consumed in excess. Be sure to read the product directions, and check in with Dr. Antoon to see how often you should be using your denture adhesive.
Excessive use of denture adhesive can also be a sign your dentures need to be relined or replaced. Let us know if you’re having trouble eating or speaking with your dentures in Plano, and we’ll provide you with a better fit!
