Master in Cosmetic Dentistry
Led by Dr. Jahon Zehtaban, Smile Arkansas provides state-of-the-art, comprehensive dentistry services to patients in Little Rock and beyond. In addition to general dental care, the practice specializes in cosmetic and restorative procedures designed to give patients their ideal healthy and beautiful smiles. Zehtaban was introduced to the idea of a career in dentistry as a teenager thanks to a neighbor, “an awesome guy who just so happened to be a dentist.” Though busy as a business owner, Zehtaban has found the work rewarding, especially since he is able to practice in his hometown of Little Rock.
“It was important for me to come back and help the folks that I care for and that make our home so special,” he said. “My wife and I both decided that Little Rock was the only place we were interested in starting our careers and lives, and we are both proud to say that we are serving our community well.”
Smile Arkansas is a leader in cosmetic and restorative procedures in central Arkansas and beyond, and as a part of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the clinic utilizes the latest proven techniques and technology to give patients their dream smiles. Given the increasing interest in cosmetic dentistry, patients appreciate the combination of convenience and expertise Smile Arkansas offers, allowing them to receive cosmetic dental, orthodontic and surgical care all under one roof.
One of the most important lessons Zehtaban has learned is the vital role listening plays in delivering outstanding results.
“In many general dental practices, it is common to have a lot going on at once, which can make it tough on the dentist to give each patient their undivided attention,” Zehtaban said. “Here at Smile Arkansas, we give each patient the attention that their needs deserve and customize a treatment plan specific to them.”

As cosmetic dentistry becomes more popular, the procedures available to patients improve. The last decade has seen huge leaps forward when it comes to implant dentistry, Zehtaban said, making for more comfortable and better-fitting results. With treatment modalities such as the All-on-X technique, patients can leave the practice with brand-new implants the same day and avoid the multiple surgeries and temporary dentures required with other techniques.
“With this technique and the ability to plan the entire surgery and location of the implants, you can have a patient leave with a brand-new, implant-supported smile that stays in full time that same day,” Zehtaban said. “It really is a game changer and something I see becoming more efficient and predictable in the coming years.”
Combining the latest in treatment with patient-centered care, Zehtaban’s vision for the future of Smile Arkansas is to continue the clinic’s reputation for excellence — which spans more than three decades already — and build on it with more comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitation techniques.
“At the end of the day, I want to continue giving the patients the best there is to offer in dentistry and experience,” Zehtaban said.
