Caring for Your Mouth is Caring for Your Whole Body

We know that your mouth matters for your overall health, and we’re invested in a healthy Little Rock, a healthy Arkansas, and a healthy you, just like you’re our own family. It’s easy to schedule an appointment with Nichols Family Dental. Taking care of your mouth is necessary to properly care for your whole body. Yes, proper dental hygiene and routine exams can prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease, but they can also prevent heart disease, infection, and other ailments that might seem totally unrelated to the mouth. In fact, the condition of your mouth can be an indication of the condition of your overall health, so keeping regular appointments for routine exams and coming in for any issues that arise in between is essential to maintaining a good quality of life. Schedule an appointment today to keep your body healthy!

Getting Started

We’ve carefully curated every detail of our physical space, staff selection, treatment offerings, technology, and tools, to make sure that you’re comfortable in our office, with our staff, and with your treatment.

When you call our office, you’ll speak with our front staff who will ask a little bit about what your concerns are. Are you wanting a routine exam? A cleaning? Invisalign? A bridge or crown? Or maybe you’re not sure what you need, but you have some symptoms you’d like help resolving. Perfect! Our front staff will gather all that information, and will schedule an appointment where you can speak one-on-one with our Registered Dental Assistants and Hygienists and with Dr. Tina Nichols, DDS. Then they’ll let you know what kinds of treatments are available for you to meet your goals. After we agree on a plan of treatment with Dr. Nichols, we’ll help you get set up with a payment plan and appointments all based on your insurance and availability.

We’re proud to accept most major dental insurances, so we can serve as many members of the Little Rock community as possible.  

Give us a call today, let us know what your concern is, and we’ll get you on the schedule!

You’ll actually enjoy coming to see us

– Tammy P.

Overall AWESOME Staff and Dentist. Dr. Nichols and her Team made me feel so welcomed and considered after another recent dentist experience hindered any positive opinions and outlook that I had on Dentists overall. Their professionalism, expertise and courtesy eased my concerns and I realized after my first visit I’d made the right choice in choosing Nichols Family Dental, Hillcrest.

– Michelle S.

Dr Nichols is amazing! She is honest, sympathetic, gentle and isn’t just putting on a big show to make you feel good. Her office in Hillcrest is welcome and warming. This office is very personable and the staff are very caring. They will go above and beyond to make you feel like family.

– Julie W.
