Dr. Richard Vanbebber, DDS

Ever notice how some neighborhoods make it easier to keep up with routine care? Carpenter Dam Road has that quiet, established feel—wide sidewalks, mature trees, and a mix of small offices that have been part of Hot Springs for decades. One of those is Dr. Richard Vanbebber, DDS, tucked into the building at 307 Carpenter Dam Rd # B. The practice covers everything from preventive cleanings to fillings, crowns, and even emergency tooth repairs, so it’s a single stop for most dental needs without the downtown traffic.

People who live in the 71901 area often mention how convenient it is to have a dentist right on the same corridor they already drive for groceries or the post office. The office handles root canals and extractions too, which means fewer referrals and less running around when something unexpected comes up. Appointments tend to book quickly, so calling ahead is always a good idea.

If you’re mapping the route, the spot is just past the light where Carpenter Dam meets Higdon Ferry. Directions are clearer on the map, and the number to ring is (501) 624-3323. Locals usually pop in while they’re already out for errands—no extra trip required.
