Dr. Virgil E. Ellis III, DDS

Dentists in Conway tend to cluster near the hospital or along Oak Street, but some of the quieter practices sit just off the main drags where the rent stays reasonable and the parking doesn’t vanish by nine a.m. One of those is Dr. Virgil E. Ellis III, DDS, tucked into a low-slung strip at 405 Hogan Ln #2, Conway, AR 72034. The building itself is the kind you might drive past twice if you’re not watching for the sign, yet the address has been the same for years, steady in a town that keeps adding chain pharmacies and drive-thrus.

General dentistry here covers the usual ground—cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions—without the frill of a spa-like waiting room or a wall of whitening gels. Instead, the practice runs on the assumption that most people just want the work done competently and the billing explained in plain terms. That approach keeps the phone line, (501) 329-1994, busy with repeat patients and a few new ones who found the number scribbled on a gas-station napkin.

Conway’s mix of college students, young families, and retirees means the chair sees everything from first cavities to bridges that have outlasted the cars in the lot. The office handles routine X-rays and emergency repairs, and if you need something more involved—root canals, partials—they’ll either do it in-house or send you to a specialist they’ve worked with for years. No fanfare, just the basics done in a single-story building that blends into the neighborhood.

For directions, pull up the map before you leave; Hogan Lane isn’t the kind of street that shows up on every GPS update. The sign is small, the door is glass, and the phone still rings. That’s about all you need to know.
