New Patients, Insurance & Cost
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes — Ashar Dentistry welcomes new patients of all ages in McKinney, TX and the surrounding Frisco, Allen, and Prosper communities. You can book online or call us at (469) 535-1850, and first-time patients can take advantage of our $149 New Patient Special, which includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a regular cleaning.
What dental insurance do you accept?
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans and will gladly file claims on your behalf. We are not a DMO/HMO office. If you are unsure whether we are in-network with your plan, please call our team — we will verify your benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises.
Do you offer payment plans or financing for patients without insurance?
Yes. For patients without insurance, we offer flexible third-party financing through CareCredit and similar programs, plus an in-house membership plan that bundles your preventive visits at a discounted annual rate. Ask us at your visit and we will help you pick the option that fits your budget.
How much does a routine cleaning and exam cost?
For new patients, our $149 New Patient Special covers a complete exam, digital X-rays, and a standard cleaning (a $449 value). For existing patients, most insurance plans cover preventive visits at 100%. Costs for periodontal (deep) cleanings vary based on the level of care needed — we always review pricing with you before treatment.
Appointments & Office
What are your office hours?
Ashar Dentistry is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM. The last appointment of the day is scheduled two hours before closing. To book a time that works for you, call us at (469) 535-1850 or request an appointment online.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first appointment with Dr. Tirmizi typically takes about 60–90 minutes. We will review your medical and dental history, take digital X-rays, perform a comprehensive oral and gum-health exam, complete your cleaning when appropriate, and then sit down with you to walk through findings and any recommended treatment — no pressure, no surprises.
Do you see emergency dental patients?
Yes. We do our best to see dental emergencies — toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost crowns, and swelling — the same day. If you are experiencing a dental emergency in McKinney, please call our office right away and we will get you in as quickly as possible.
Treatments
Do you treat children, or do I need a separate pediatric dentist?
Ashar Dentistry is a family practice — we see kids, teens, and adults all under one roof. Dr. Tirmizi and our team are gentle, patient, and great at making first dental visits a positive experience, so your whole family can be cared for in one place.
Do you offer Invisalign or other clear aligners?
Yes. We offer Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults who want a discreet way to straighten their smile without metal braces. Dr. Tirmizi will evaluate whether you are a good candidate during a complimentary consultation and walk you through expected treatment time and cost.
How often should I come in for a cleaning?
For most healthy adults and children, every six months is the right cadence for a professional cleaning and exam. Patients with a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or certain medical conditions may benefit from a 3–4 month interval — we will recommend the right schedule based on your individual oral health.
