Why Searcy patients come to Heber Springs for implants
Full-arch treatment is a series of appointments over several months, so it helps when your implant practice is close. From Searcy, Heber Springs is one of the shortest drives to a practice built around implants, where Dr. Noland plans and places every implant himself and performs more than 15 full-arch cases a month.
Your teeth are designed and made in our in-house lab, on site, by a team that sees your face and your smile in person. That means adjustments happen down the hall, not after a round trip to an outside lab.
For White County patients who already wear dentures, the most common question is whether there is enough bone left. Your free consultation includes a 3D CBCT scan, and Dr. Noland can treat almost anybody, including patients who were told elsewhere that they do not have enough bone, often without bone grafting.
Your drive from Searcy
About 30 road miles, roughly 50 minutes. Head northwest from Searcy on AR-16 through Pangburn and on into Heber Springs.
It is one of the shortest drives of any city we serve, so most appointments fit comfortably around a normal day.

The out-of-town plan: three days here, one trip back
From Searcy you can sleep at home between appointments, but the plan is still worth knowing, because the 3-week zirconia option can get qualifying patients into final teeth months sooner. 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 Searcy 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 Searcy 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.
Your surgeon: Dr. Conner Noland, DDS
Dr. Noland plans and performs every implant surgery in the practice himself, from a single missing tooth to a full arch. His focus is All-on-X full-arch restoration, and he can treat almost anybody, including patients who have been told by other dentists that they do not have enough bone.

Questions from Searcy and White County patients
How far is Noland Implants from Searcy?
About 30 road miles, or roughly 50 minutes, by AR-16 through Pangburn. It is one of the shortest drives of any city we serve.
Do I need the three-day out-of-town plan if I live in Searcy?
Not necessarily. From Searcy you can sleep at home between appointments. The part of the plan that helps Searcy patients most is the 3-week zirconia option: patients Dr. Noland approves get final zirconia teeth about three weeks after surgery instead of wearing a temporary through a longer healing phase.
I live in Beebe, Bald Knob, or Judsonia. How far is that?
Beebe is about 39 road miles, a little over an hour. From Bald Knob or Judsonia, add your drive into Searcy to the roughly 50 minutes from there.
Will I need someone to drive me on surgery day?
If you choose sedation, yes. Plan on a driver for surgery day. Our team will go over everything you need to know before your appointment.
What if I have been told I do not have enough bone for implants?
Get a second opinion with 3D imaging. Dr. Noland can treat almost anybody, including patients who were told by other dentists that they do not have enough bone, and full-arch treatment is often possible without grafting. Your free consultation includes the CBCT scan that answers this question.
Does Dr. Noland also place single implants?
Yes. Dr. Noland places every implant in the practice, from one missing tooth to a full arch. Dr. Marisa House, DDS, provides crowns, fillings, veneers, and other cosmetic and restorative care in the same building.
