Duff Kenny DDS

Teeth matter more than you think.

On North College Avenue, just past the old railroad overpass, a quiet brick building holds Duff Kenny DDS. The practice sits where Fayetteville’s grid of small shops gives way to tree-lined side streets, a spot where morning light slants across the sidewalk and neighbors wave on their way to the farmers’ market. Dental care here isn’t flashy—it’s routine cleanings, fillings that last, and the occasional crown when a molar gives out. Most patients come from within a few miles, drawn by word of mouth rather than billboards.

Preventive visits tend to book up weeks ahead, especially in late summer when college students return and parents squeeze in check-ups before school starts. If a toothache strikes after hours, the office voicemail offers an after-hours line, though most calls still come during weekday mornings. Root canals and extractions happen too, though nobody schedules those for fun. The receptionist answers at (479) 521-1111, usually between eight and five, and can slot in emergencies faster than you’d expect.

Directions are simple: turn onto College from Dickson, look for the green awning at 2861 N College Ave, Fayetteville, AR 72703. Parking isn’t marked, but the curb almost always has room. For a map, tap here—it’ll drop a pin right on the doorstep.

If you’ve lived here long enough, you’ve probably heard the name at a backyard cookout.
