The Indiana attorney general's office has filed an administrative complaint against Allcare Dental & Dentures President Robert Bates for multiple licensing violations.
In January of last year, Allcare Dental & Dentures, which is a national chain of dentist offices, abruptly closed its locations including one in Mishawaka.
According to the complaint filed before the Indiana State Board of Dentistry, the president gave a two-day notice to his Indiana employees that offices would close for two weeks.
Days before the offices were supposed to re-open, he notified his workers that the offices would be closed permanently.
Indiana's attorney general says patients were left without their dentist, their records, dental devices and did not get a refund.
The Indiana State Board of Dentistry will decide if a violation occurred and if so, what disciplinary action there will be.
The board is tentatively scheduled to hold a hearing on the complaint in October.
