Dr. Donald A. Deems III, DDS, FAGD

Cantrell West Dental is a one-stop, full-service, dental practice serving Little Rock and Central Arkansas. Cantrell West is not your typical Little Rock dentist practice. When you come in for care, we help you understand your dental needs and available treatment options. We are proud of our tradition of excellence and innovation dating back more than 50 years since this practice was founded.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I am compassionate and caring; I am an excellent listener; I do not "sell" my services. I have loads of experiences, awards, and honors, and I am recognized nationally as "The Dentist's Coach", helping other dentists have successful practices and lives. Our reviews say it all ... pick any of them and you will see what people say about me!

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

As a general dentist, no dentist "specializes" in any treatment, so you shouldn't view one that does unless they are indeed a specialist. My primary focus is on caring for the needs of my clients, whatever those are, and doing it in a masterful way, whether it's a simple procedure such as a filling, or artful procedures such as cosmetic procedures, or complicated ones such as dental implants, root canals, or even restoring an entire mouth!

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am most proud of my team and the professional way we truly care for our patients. Our office is professional, comfortable, clean, quiet, and has cutting-edge technology. We care for clients as if they were our family and how we would want to be cared for: one-on-one, open, honest, and sensitive to a person's needs, concerns, fears, and wants. We do not rush people through our practice!

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy all "cases" - but people are NOT "cases"! They are living, breathing people like you and me with feelings, concerns, wants, and needs, and they probably have a wide variety of experiences - some good, some bad - at previous dental practices. We aim to change that! I enjoy all people and have a genuine compassion that is felt.
