Root Canals
A root canal is a dental procedure performed to save a damaged or infected tooth. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth with a filling. This helps alleviate pain, preserve the tooth's function, and prevent the need for extraction
Extractions
Dental extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed for severely damaged, infected, or crowded teeth that cannot be saved. Extractions are carried out with care to minimize discomfort, and tooth replacement options may be discussed to restore oral function.
Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges restore your smile, improve chewing, and maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in partial and full denture options. Dentures restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile, although they may require periodic adjustments for optimal comfort and function.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically implanted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They serve as strong, stable foundations for artificial teeth. Implants look and function like natural teeth, offering a long-lasting solution to tooth loss and preserving jawbone health.

My name is Shane Smith DDS. I’ve spent the majority of my life in Jonesboro, AR with attending Brookland Schools and obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at Arkansas State University. I only left Jonesboro to attend dental school at University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in Memphis, TN. After receiving my Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 2016, I moved back to Jonesboro, AR to start practicing Dentistry. I spent 5 years as an associate dentist providing dental care for several communities in Northeast Arkansas including Jonesboro, Paragould, and Blytheville, AR as well as Kennett, Mo and Memphis, TN. In 2021 after the retirement of John Abernathy DDS, I purchased the equipment and building to start my solo general dentist practice at 2919 Browns Ln, in Jonesboro, AR. Since then, I have cultivated my passion for dentistry with providing high quality dental care and creating meaningful patient relationships. Come visit us to see how we can provide great lifelong dental care. Dentist - Jonesboro, AR
