972-727-5599McKinney residents seeking advanced dental restoration don’t have to travel far to find prosthodontic care. Dr. Peter Hazim’s Allen practice serves the McKinney community with comprehensive treatment options for complex dental needs, from full mouth reconstruction to dental implants. His two to three years of additional training beyond dental school equips him to handle cases that require coordinated, multidisciplinary care.
Quality of life depends on the ability to smile, speak, and eat comfortably. When teeth are damaged or missing, these simple functions become difficult. Our dental services restore both function and appearance for McKinney patients through advanced prosthodontic treatments.
What Makes Prosthodontic Care Different
Prosthodontics represents one of dentistry’s recognized fields, requiring additional education beyond standard dental training. This advanced preparation allows treatment of more complex restorative cases involving bite problems, multiple restorations, or full mouth rehabilitation. As Dr. Hazim explains, “As a prosthodontist, we like to guide the treatment, so it will be a restoratively driven treatment.”
Many cases requiring prosthodontic care involve multiple dental problems at once. These situations often need coordination between different types of dentists to achieve the best outcome. Our practice works with other dental professionals to plan treatments from start to finish. For dental implant procedures, proper planning ensures optimal placement for long-term function and appearance.
Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes
Digital dentistry has transformed how prosthodontic treatments are planned and completed. Modern scanning technology captures detailed impressions without traditional molds. Dr. Hazim notes, “With the use of computer AI and these emerging technologies, what makes the treatment and the outcome more predictable.” CBCT scans and intraoral scans merge together to create precise treatment plans before any procedure begins.
CEREC same-day crowns demonstrate how technology improves patient experience. Advanced milling and printing create restorations with superior precision compared to older methods. The digital approach reduces appointment time while maintaining high-quality results for McKinney patients.
Comprehensive Prosthodontic Services
Our Allen office provides the full range of prosthodontic treatments for patients from McKinney and surrounding areas. Services include individual crowns and bridges, dental veneers, implant-supported prostheses, and complete dentures and partials. Treatment for bite problems and TMJ issues also falls within prosthodontic care.
Dr. Hazim’s training emphasizes preserving natural teeth whenever possible. “In my training, I like to preserve natural teeth if we can,” he explains. When teeth cannot be saved, dental implants offer the most stable replacement option. The practice coordinates with other dentists to develop comprehensive treatment plans addressing all aspects of complex cases.
Full mouth reconstruction helps patients who have lost function due to missing teeth, decay, gum disease, trauma, or chronic teeth grinding. These cases require careful planning to reestablish proper bite relationship and restore complete function.
An International Education Background
Dr. Hazim graduated from Damascus University in Syria before continuing his education in France for three years. He then came to Chicago to complete his residency at Loyola VA Hospital, where he became certified in prosthodontics. This diverse educational background provides exposure to different treatment approaches and techniques.
“Like everything, anything in life, the more experience you have, the more ideas, the more people you’ve been exposed to,” Dr. Hazim reflects. His training across three countries creates a broader perspective on dental care. Continued education at the Spear Institute and Pankey Institute keeps his skills current with evolving techniques and materials.
Reducing Dental Anxiety
Many people avoid dental care due to fear or past negative experiences. Our practice focuses on changing those perceptions through consistent positive outcomes. Dr. Hazim says, “It takes visits to change that experience and show them like dentistry is not necessarily painful.”
Building trust happens through education and predictable treatment. Understanding what to expect reduces anxiety significantly. The practice prioritizes creating comfortable experiences so patients feel confident about maintaining their dental health. Most patients find their concerns disappear after seeing results from treatment.
Financial Options for McKinney Residents
Dental benefits can help cover some treatment costs, though coverage varies by plan. Our practice files claims for patients with PPO plans. Several financial options make care accessible, including CareCredit® and Cherry® financing. These programs allow patients to receive needed treatment while managing payments over time.
For patients uncertain about their dental needs, complimentary consultations provide an opportunity to discuss concerns and explore treatment options. Dr. Hazim takes time to answer questions and explain recommended approaches without pressure.
