The mission of Cantrell West Dental is to be the finest dental practice in Arkansas. Every day we combine superb technical ability with artistic creativity and listen carefully to the concerns, needs, wants, and values of our patients.

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

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

As the first and only dental practice in the country to receive the National Best Practices Honors by the American Psychological Association, an award program that recognizes innovative programs and policies that facilitate a psychologically healthy workplace, we don't just say we do great things . . . WE LIVE IT! 

We are also the first dental practice in Little Rock to be designated as a Certified Green Dentist! It is a four-part certification program that encourages dentists to take stesp both large and small to make their practices more eco-friendly. Dentists must meet certain criteria in categories such as pollution control, water/air quality, and solid waste conservation.

Payment Options
We understand the cost of high quality dental care is not cheap! 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. Dr. Deems is a Delta Dental provider. We also accept most major credit cards and other financial services: MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover Card, Dental Fee Plan, and Care Credit.

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