Question 1

What makes Prentice Dental different from other dental practices?

Accepted Answer

Prentice Dental is a solo-doctor private practice where you'll see the same trusted dentist every visit. Dr. Prentice combines advanced digital technology with systematic, evidence-based treatment planning. As a Kois Center Graduate with Honors and Best of Denton County winner two years running, he provides award-winning care without the rush of corporate dentistry.

Question 2

Do you offer same-day crowns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have multiple in-house Glidewell.io milling units that allow us to design, mill, and place permanent crowns in a single visit. No temporaries, no second appointment—just beautiful, durable restorations completed today.

Question 3

What is full-mouth reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Full-mouth reconstruction is comprehensive treatment for patients with worn, broken, or failing teeth. Dr. Prentice uses a systematic 10-phase approach that includes complete records, digital planning, a test-drive phase with temporary restorations, and final permanent work—ensuring predictable outcomes you can see and approve before committing.

Question 4

Do you take dental insurance?

Accepted Answer

We work with most PPO dental insurance plans and will file claims on your behalf. While we're out-of-network with most plans, our team will help maximize your benefits. We also offer flexible payment options for treatment not covered by insurance.

Question 5

What are your office hours?

Accepted Answer

We're open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We're closed Friday through Sunday. Same-day emergency appointments are available Monday-Thursday for urgent cases.

Question 6

How do I schedule my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Call us at (972) 539-6831 or complete our new patient application online. We'll schedule your comprehensive exam and answer any questions you have about your care.

Question 7

What technology do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use advanced digital technology including iTero Lumina intraoral scanners for comfortable impressions, AI-powered diagnostics, in-house Glidewell.io milling for same-day crowns, digital smile design software, and comprehensive digital imaging. This technology delivers faster results, better accuracy, and fewer appointments.

Question 8

Are you accepting new patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we welcome new patients and their families. Dr. Prentice provides comprehensive care from preventive dentistry to complex restorative work—all in one trusted private practice.

Question 9

How much do dental implants cost?

Accepted Answer

Dental implant restoration typically ranges from $3,500-$6,000 per tooth, depending on the complexity of the case. This includes the custom crown or restoration that attaches to the implant. Dr. Prentice works with trusted oral surgeons for implant placement and designs precision restorations using digital workflows. We provide detailed treatment plans with clear pricing before beginning any work.

Question 10

Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to help anxious patients feel comfortable during treatment. Dr. Prentice takes time to explain procedures, answer questions, and ensure you feel at ease. Many patients find that the systematic approach with clear communication significantly reduces dental anxiety.

Question 11

Can you fix my smile in one day?

Accepted Answer

For single-tooth issues like damaged or decayed teeth, yes—same-day crowns can restore your tooth in one visit. For comprehensive smile makeovers involving multiple teeth, we use a systematic approach with digital smile design and test-drive restorations to ensure you love your results before finalizing. Complex cases typically take 2-8 months depending on the extent of treatment needed.

Question 12

What should I expect at my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first comprehensive exam includes a thorough evaluation using digital diagnostics, intraoral scanning, and AI-powered imaging. Dr. Prentice will discuss your concerns, answer questions, and review findings with you. You'll receive a clear diagnosis and systematic treatment plan with options that fit your goals and timeline. The visit typically takes 60-90 minutes.

Question 13

How long do same-day crowns last?

Accepted Answer

Same-day crowns made with modern ceramic materials typically last 15-20 years with proper care—the same longevity as traditional lab-made crowns. The key difference is you get a permanent, custom-fitted crown in one visit rather than wearing a fragile temporary for weeks. Dr. Prentice uses advanced Fastmill.io technology to ensure precision fit and natural aesthetics.
