Why River Valley patients drive to Heber Springs
Full-arch implants are the center of our practice. Dr. Noland performs more than 15 full-arch All-on-X cases a month and places every implant himself, and your teeth are designed and made in our own lab, on site. The doctor who plans your case is the doctor who places your implants and seats your final teeth.
Two hours is far enough that the number of trips matters. The out-of-town plan handles your medical history and any clearance by phone before you come, fits records, surgery, and a bite check into three back-to-back days, and brings qualifying patients back just once, about three weeks later, for final zirconia teeth.
If you are farther up I-49 in Fayetteville, Rogers, or elsewhere in Northwest Arkansas, the same route brings you through the River Valley. From there the drive is closer to four hours, which is exactly the situation this plan was built for.
Your drive from Russellville and Atkins
From Russellville: about 85 road miles, roughly 1 hour 50 minutes. Take I-40 east to Conway, then US-65 north through Greenbrier and AR-25 into Heber Springs.
From Atkins: about 73 road miles, roughly 1 hour 35 minutes, on the same I-40, US-65, and AR-25 route.
Plan on about 2 hours each way from Russellville, and check live directions before you leave.

For patients traveling from Russellville
The out-of-town plan: three days here, one trip back
From the River Valley, each round trip is close to four hours, so fewer trips make a real difference. For qualifying patients, Dr. Noland can fit the full-arch process into a single three-day visit and one return trip. Whether this plan is right for you depends on your health, your bone, and how your implants do on surgery day, and your final timeline is always confirmed at your consultation.
-
Before you travel
Medical history by phone
A team member walks through your health history, medications, and goals with you over the phone, so your time in Heber Springs is spent planning your smile, not filling out forms.
-
Before you travel
Medical clearance, handled ahead of time
If your history calls for it, we request clearance from your physician before your visit, so nothing holds up surgery day.
-
Day 1
Records and your plan
Arrive for your 3D CBCT scan, photos, and digital records. Then sit down with Dr. Noland to talk through your goals and finalize your treatment plan together.
-
Day 2
Surgery, and fixed teeth the same day
Dr. Noland places your implants himself, and you leave with a fixed set of temporary teeth that same day. If you choose sedation, plan on a driver.
-
Day 3
Fit and bite check, then home
We check the fit, fine-tune your bite, go over care at home, and you head back to Russellville with your new smile.

About 3 weeks later
One return trip for final zirconia teeth
Patients Dr. Noland approves for our 3-week zirconia option come back once to have their final zirconia teeth seated, designed and milled in our in-house lab. You trade months in a temporary for your final smile in a matter of weeks, and skip the extra trips that come with a longer wait. Dr. Noland selects patients for this option at his discretion, case by case.
Good to know. Getting your final teeth early does not rush the healing underneath. A soft-food diet for the first three months and your scheduled follow-up visits, including a six-month evaluation, are still part of the plan, and we schedule them with your drive in mind. If the 3-week option is not the right fit for you, you follow our standard path: fixed temporary teeth while you heal, then final zirconia teeth after the healing phase, typically 3 to 5 months of visits.
Where to stay: two options, both about 10 minutes from our office
For the three-day visit, we suggest booking two nights, the evenings of Day 1 and Day 2, so you are not driving back to Russellville between your records visit, surgery, and bite check. Our patients use two places in particular. Both are about 10 minutes from the office, which keeps surgery-day travel short.
Red Apple Inn: the resort option
A boutique resort on Eden Isle, on Greers Ferry Lake. Rooms with Old World charm, a restaurant and bar in house overlooking the lake, two seasonal outdoor pools, a fitness center, an 18-hole golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, and forest trails. Condos and houses with full kitchens sleep 4 to 10 if family is coming along. It is the quieter, nicer place to rest after surgery, with meals a short walk from your room.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites: the budget option
In town, a few minutes from the office. Free hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi and parking, a fitness center, a seasonal outdoor pool, guest laundry, and pet-friendly rooms for a fee. Our patients get a special rate here. Ask our team for it when you schedule, before you book.
Book directly with either hotel, and bring the person who is driving you. Our team is happy to help you line up your reservation dates with your appointments.

What Russellville patients can expect here
Free consultation and 3D scan
Your first visit includes a CBCT scan and a straight answer about your options. If you live more than an hour away, we can start with a phone conversation.
In-house lab
Your teeth are designed and made in our own lab, on site, by a team that sees your face and your smile in person.

Dr. Noland plans every surgery so your implants can hopefully last a lifetime. The honest national average is 15 to 20 years, and it depends heavily on home care, follow-up visits, and wearing a nightguard if one is prescribed.
Cost and financing
Every quote is all-inclusive and specific to you: it depends on the number of implants, your bone, and the final teeth you choose, so we give it in person after your scan rather than guessing over the phone. To spread the cost out, we work with Proceed Finance and LendingClub Patient Solutions, which let you check your options with a soft credit check, and Cherry.

Questions from Russellville and the Arkansas River Valley patients
How far is Russellville from Heber Springs?
About 85 road miles, roughly 1 hour 50 minutes, by I-40 east to Conway, then US-65 and AR-25. Plan on about 2 hours each way.
I live in Atkins. How long is my drive?
Atkins is about 73 road miles, roughly 1 hour 35 minutes, along the same I-40, US-65, and AR-25 route.
Do you treat patients from Fayetteville, Rogers, or Northwest Arkansas?
Yes. From Fayetteville the drive is about 200 road miles, roughly 3 hours 45 minutes, and from Rogers about 220 road miles, or about 4 hours, by I-49 and I-40. For patients that far away, the phone history and clearance before your visit, the three-day stay, and the single return trip for final teeth are what make treatment here practical.
Can I start with a phone call instead of driving up for a consultation?
Yes. Because you live more than an hour away, we can start with a phone or video conversation about your history and goals, so your first drive is for the scan and exam.
Which days should I plan for?
Our office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, so the three-day visit falls on weekdays. Our team will help you choose dates around your work and your driver's schedule.
What is included in an All-on-X quote?
Our quotes are all-inclusive, from imaging and surgery to your fixed temporary teeth and final zirconia teeth, and they are given in person after your free CBCT scan. Financing is available through Proceed Finance, LendingClub Patient Solutions, and Cherry.
