Allington Dental

What Allington Dental does

Allington Dental is a private, multi-location dental practice headquartered in Abilene, Texas, operating seven owned clinic locations across West Texas (Abilene, Amarillo, Lubbock-Caprock, Lubbock-Overton, Midland, Odessa, San Angelo). The company is an affiliated practice within the Benevis dental services organization, which provides shared back-office infrastructure including compliance, billing, and brand programs such as the Kool Smiles Kids Club.

The practice delivers four core service lines — general dentistry, pediatric/children's dentistry, oral surgery, and orthodontics/braces — supported by add-on offerings including the Resolution Dental Discount Plan ($89/year, free exams and X-rays, 50% off services for uninsured patients), AcceptCare financing for orthodontic treatment ($99 down, up to 36 months), CareCredit third-party financing, SMS-based appointment alerts, online bill payment via BalanceCollect, and the Talkin Teeth educational video series. Core technology consists of standard dental care equipment: digital imaging, X-rays, sterilization systems, and anesthesia capabilities (nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, general anesthesia), with an infection prevention and control program aligned to CDC guidelines.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service dental care, Medicaid reimbursements (TMHP, MCNA, Dentaquest, SoonerCare, Superior, Molina, Liberty), commercial insurance claims (Cigna, Aetna, Delta Dental, Guardian, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tricare), and the Resolution Dental Discount Plan membership fee. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via physical offices, online scheduling, phone booking, and walk-ins, targeting families — particularly Medicaid-enrolled and uninsured children — across West Texas. Allington also operates the annual Sharing Smiles Day community outreach event, which has provided free dental care to over 2,100 uninsured children since 2015 under the Benevis family of brands.
