Arkansas Dental Services

At River Valley Smile Center, we believe in treating our patients’ entire dental needs. We focus on preventive care and on using technology to teach patients how to take care of their dental health so that, if they have any dental issues, these problems remain small. New patients receive comprehensive exams designed to accurately assess the state of their dental health and a plan designed to get—and keep—their entire mouth healthy. In short, we’ll do our best to make you an active partner in your dental care in a comfortable, professional and relaxed manner.

Preventive Care Services

Prevention is a large focus of our practice. We have a number of tools that can help patients understand their dental health picture. These tools include digital x-rays, which are safer than traditional x-rays and allow patients to immediately see their x-rays on a computer screen, and a digital intra oral camera that provides a view inside the patient’s mouth. We also utilize a patient education system that teaches people how to become partners in their care.

Our preventive care services include:

• Cleaning or hygiene
• Dental sealants
• Regular checkups
• Patient education
• Nightguards
• Breath treatment
