Q: What if getting an injection really concerns me?
Dr. Allen has a special technique for almost painless injections. This special technique uses the first portion of the anesthetic which is neutral in pH (just like water) and does not sting. It is followed by a stronger anesthetic into the area that has started to become numb so that the process does not sting. The key to painless injections is a slow, subtle, gentle technique. Dr. Allen is also certified to give nitrous oxide and Enteral Sedation (see Twilight Sleep).
Q: What if I can't pay for the services up front?
We have a trained financial manager to offer you several payment arrangements. She can file your insurance for you or tell you how to apply for a special dental credit card. We also accept major credit cards.
