About Us
Expert Dentistry Built Around You
Before We See Your Smile, We See You
The dental team you trust with your smile becomes part of your life's biggest moments. They’re the steady hands that calm you during dental emergencies and the familiar faces who welcome you back every six months. You deserve a team that takes that responsibility seriously and is committed to delivering expert dental care with a personal touch.
That's the kind of experience Dr. Platt set out to create with Prairie Creek Dental. Here, you'll be treated like a person before you're treated like a patient because we believe the best dentistry begins with getting to know the person behind the smile.
Our Vision for Better Dentistry
Every practice begins with an idea, and ours was rooted in a simple belief that people deserve something better than a rushed appointment or a one-sided conversation about their health. Dr. Platt imagined a place where expert dentistry feels like a human connection. The goal was for every patient who chose Prairie Creek Dental to feel valued long before any clinical work begins.
That vision is still the heartbeat of everything we do today. We keep our new patient visits intentionally long because we know that trust is not something you can manufacture. It takes time. Before we ever look at an X-ray or discuss a treatment plan, Dr. Platt wants to know the person sitting in front of him. Even the small details in our office, like the photos of our families and our dogs, are there to remind us of the truth. We are here to care for people first.
The Dentist Behind Your Biggest Moments
For Dr. Phillip Platt, dentistry has always been about the person behind the smile. After graduating from the University of Arkansas and earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee, he brought his vision of dentistry to Prairie Creek Dental, believing meaningful relationships are the true foundation of exceptional dental care. That appreciation for genuine connection is reflected in the time he takes to know each new patient before discussing their smile. It's an honest approach, and one that continues to define the care you'll find when you walk through our doors.
Right Where We Belong
Patients visit us from across Northwest Arkansas because they're looking for more than a quick appointment. They want a dental home where they're known by name and where recommendations come from honest conversations. Like so many of our patients, we're proud to call Northwest Arkansas home, and it's a privilege to care for the families who make this community so special.
