About Our Staff

Family Dental Care

Dr. Ward and Brittain have assembled a staff of highly qualified hygienists and dental assistants. Several staff members have been with the practice for over 20 years, creating a compassionate, caring and motivated team of individuals.

Robert L. Ward, DDS

After receiving his bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas, Dr. Ward attended LSU School of Dentistry in Louisiana, graduating in 1983 with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.
As a native of the greater Fort Smith area, Dr. Ward returned home to open his general dentistry practice. After 30 years of practice, Dr. Ward is committed to excellence in the field of dentistry.
Dr. Ward is dedicated to continuing education and keeping up with the latest technology. He is one of only a handful of dentists in the area to offer the Sirona Cerec Restoration System. This innovative technology allows our patients to have crown and bridge work performed in a single visit.
