Darren Hallums, DDS, MS

The stretch of North Shiloh Drive in Fayetteville blends quiet professional offices with the kind of low-key accessibility that makes errands easier. Among them is Darren Hallums, DDS, MS, an orthodontic practice handling everything from early childhood evaluations to adult clear aligner systems. This isn’t the kind of specialty clinic tucked away in a hard-to-find corner; it sits at 3533 N Shiloh Dr #3, where the parking lot connects directly to the suite entrance. Braces, retainers, and palate expanders are all part of the routine here, along with the less visible but equally important work of jaw alignment assessments. The practice’s approach leans toward the practical—no frills, just the kind of precise adjustments that make a difference over months, not days.

Orthodontics often gets pigeonholed as a teenage rite of passage, but the reality is far broader: underbites don’t discriminate by age, and neither do the solutions. For anyone mapping out treatment options or just needing a second opinion, a call to (479) 431-6702 connects directly to the office. First visits usually start with a scan and a conversation, not a sales pitch. If you’re plotting the drive, the map places it just north of the intersection with MLK Jr. Boulevard, where the traffic thins out but the sidewalks stay wide. Around here, good orthodontic care doesn’t have to come with a downtown commute—or a side of pretension.
