Pershing Family Dental Clinic

Dental clinics in North Little Rock tend to cluster near the river, but some manage to feel less like an assembly line. Pershing Family Dental Clinic fits that second category—routine care without the corporate polish. They handle everything from cleanings to crowns, which in this part of town usually means a drive to the Heights or a wait at the hospital.

Across from the old railroad tracks on Pershing Boulevard, the office sits in a low-slung strip that still has a few local holdouts. At 520 Pershing Blvd # C, North Little Rock, AR 72114, the sign is small enough that people often miss the turn on the first pass. Inside, the usual services are on offer: fillings, extractions, root canals, and the occasional emergency slot for a chipped tooth. Nothing flashy, just the kind of place where the hygienist remembers your kid’s school.

Most patients find themselves here after a referral or a quick search for something closer than the big chains. The phone rings often enough that the line can get busy; call (501) 753-2800 if you need to book ahead. They’ll ask for the basics—insurance, past records, whether you floss—and then slot you in between the usual morning rush and the afternoon lull.

For directions, the maps listing is straightforward: plug the address in and follow the side streets until the pavement gives way to gravel. It’s the kind of route that makes you slow down without meaning to.
