Happy Smiles Horn Lake is honored to be named 2019 and 2020 "DeSoto's Best" by DeSoto Times Tribune. We cannot thank the community enough for these treasured awards. Our dedicated doctors and staff remain motivated to continue this level of excellence for a long time to come. Happy Smiles has friendly staff and makes the kids feel at ease during the visit.
A dental examination is an important first step in evaluating your child's oral health. The health of your child's teeth and mouth are important for their overall well-being. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a visit to the dentist within six months of the eruption of your child's first tooth, or by their first birthday.
At Happy Smiles Horn Lake, our award-winning dentists are committed to helping children develop good oral health habits that will last a lifetime. In addition to regular brushing and flossing at home, we recommend all of our patients receive a professional dental cleaning along with their oral examination at least every six months.
Dental sealants are thin white coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of back (molar) teeth. The chewing surfaces of molar teeth contain multiple pits and grooves which are difficult to clean with brushing and flossing alone. These areas can harbor plaque and bacteria, increasing the risk of developing tooth decay.
As part of this procedure, the dentist may need to give local anesthetic to the affected area to eliminate any tooth pain. Once the tooth is adequately anesthetized, the dentist will remove the cavity and place the white filling. The effects of the local anesthetic will wear off within a few hours.

The dental assistant Jessa that took care of my son was super patient and very sweet. This was son's first time at the dentist. After the appointment was over he wanted to go back to give her another hug.

Kacey and Dr. Daves treated my girl like a princess making her completely at ease with whatever they needed to do to check her teeth out. Highly recommend this duo!

The office is nice but they sent me to Batesville to have my daughters teeth fixed and they were rude. I was told one adult per child I had a 3 year old with me so we were turned away. I get covid is here but let's us mothers know about siblings, and don't be rude about it. Not everyone has family in this state to baby sit. They were just rude! We told u yesterday they said. I didn't even know it was a hospital when I arrived no one told me and they said one adult. These nurses in Batesville working 18 hours a day are tired and u can tell. That's why I can't be rude there exhausted its obvious

Previously went to a different clinic and thought they were great until my child cried about not wanting to go back to that office. Reached out to Happy smiles and they got us right in in a pinch. Couldnt have been happier with the care they gave.

My kids have been going to Happy smiles for a while now. I try to make an appointment to get my daughters cavities filled to be told that they don't have any appointments until September. I asked about emergency appointment because her tooth was bothering her, and she said that if it was that bad to call every 2 hours and see if there was a cancellation. I'm a working mom and can't call every 2 hours. So I call the dentist I personally go to tell them what is going they get my daughter in the very next day with no problems. When they take x-rays and start looking at her teeth
