Join the Allen Family Dentistry - Palestine Team

Multi-location Private Practice in East Texas

Who we are:
Today the dynamics of dentistry are ever changing. With technology at its height, and dental benefits at its low, practices now look very different. At Allen Family Dentistry we are combining the best of today while not forgetting the foundation of patient care and doctor led treatment. We are in pursuit of preserving the private practice philosophy that allows our doctors and our team to serve our patients with dignity, loyalty and pride.

Dr. J. Brandon Allen has been served the East Texas community since 2005. Overtime, Allen Family Dentistry has grown into a multiple location operation. With this, we are able to offer the support an individual doctor needs from an experienced team and other outstanding, continuously learning dentists. This enables us to combine the advantages of working with a corporation while keeping the community serving private practice alive.

Mission Statement:
We will strive to build the finest team of doctors and staff, built on the principles of respect, understanding, dedication and selflessness in order to work efficiently and productively to better serve our patients. We are committed to excellence by providing our patients with the highest quality of modern, comprehensive dentistry. We are dedicated to continuing education, community efforts and the utilization of new technologies and techniques, which allow us to treat our patients with compassion in a comfortable, relaxing environment. We are thankful that our patients have chosen us to provide their family with dental care and will strive to treat each patient with truth and honesty as we would our own family.
