Dentist in Palestine, TX

Dr. Allen grew up with a hometown dentist who inspired him to be a smile maker. He headed off to Baylor University, Baylor College of Dentistry, and eventually came back to East Texas. He took over a practice in Athens over two decades ago and Allen Family Dentistry was born. Today he and his wife Brittany run three locations together.

He holds a Fellowship and Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, earned through more than 1,100 hours of continuing education. Driven by his faith, he also directs the dental clinic at the Bullard Mission House and makes annual mission trips to Romania. Outside the office, he loves family time, golfing, hunting, and boating.

Dr. Arguello earned his DDS from the University of Detroit Mercy, then completed a hospital-based residency working with medically complex and special needs patients. He performed dental surgeries in the OR and trained alongside specialists across multiple disciplines. That foundation shows in how he approaches every case.

He's a fluent Spanish speaker who volunteers with local schools and boxing centers by providing mouthguards. He's also served on mission trips to Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Beyond serving patients, his life centers around his wife, their two kids Cora and Leo, and their dog Meeko.
