About

What makes us different as a Fort Smith dentist?

Dr Brittany McLaughlin

Dr. Brittany McLaughlin has been practicing dentistry since 2008, when she graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in Kentucky. She is originally from Arizona, but grew up in Paris, Arkansas. She earned a degree in Psychology from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas before attending dental school. She has practiced for several years in both Arizona and Arkansas and received further training in laser dentistry as well as Invisalign treatment.

 

She believes in having good communication with patients to involve them in finding the best solutions to their dental needs and ease any anxieties they may have. It is always exciting to her to help improve a patient’s health and give them a great smile. Dr. McLaughlin purchased the practice from Dr. Richard Staton in December 2022 and has enjoyed getting to know his many long-term patients. She is a member of the American Dental Association as well as the Arkansas State Dental Association.

When not in the office, Dr. McLaughlin and her family enjoy cheering for the Phoenix Suns and playing games and puzzles. She also enjoys running and loves listening to a wide variety of music.
