Our mission is to be the finest dental practice in Arkansas. We are committed—each day—to caring for our patients by combining superb technical ability with artistic creativity and by listening carefully to your concerns, needs, wants, and values.

We promote innovation, and we are dedicated to the continual improvement of our skills. From our daily organization and precise planning, to our consistent continuing education and training, to our ability to listen and communicate with our patients, to our highly personalized approach to care—our purpose is to help our patients achieve optimal health and beautiful smiles.

We provide treatment for our patients as we would for members of our own families . . . with compassion, humor, and integrity.

In 2004, we became the first and only dental practice in the United States to have been awarded the National Best Practices Honors by the American Psychological Association as well as being econgnized as one of Arkansas' Best Places to Work. This award program recognizes innovative programs and policies that facilitate a psychologically healthy workplace.

We don't just say we do great things . . . WE LIVE IT!

Please note! If you are a talented, highly-motivated, energetic person who wants to be part of a growing dental practice, where your ideas, insights, energy, and enthusiasm are welcomed and appreciated, contact Dr. Deems or Tommie Prickett today. We are always looking to add the best and brightest to our great team.

Payment Options
Financial options are flexible, and we will work with you to optimize your payment options. Fees for our services will vary among individuals depending on complexity and materials used to achieve best results. Once a course of treatment is decided, we provide a written best estimate of what a procedure - or entire treatment plan - will cost.

If you have dental insurance, we will help you get the benefits you deserve. We don't play the "insurance game"; rather, we will help you receive the benefits your employer has purchased for you, yet still help you find the way to receive optimal care. Both Dr. Deems and Dr. Mehaffey are Delta Dental providers, and additionally, Dr. Mehaffey is a provider for several other dental plans.

We also accept most major credit cards and other financial services: MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover Card, Dental Fee Plan, and Healthcare Creditline.

We will do our best to work with you financially to get the care you want, need, and deserve!
