Our Clinic

Dr. Moran joined Dentistry of the Ozarks in August of 2022 and immediately began expanding services, upgrading technology, sprucing the clinic’s décor and lengthening the list of accepted insurances to include Aetna, Ameritas, Cigna, Delta Dental, Dental Network of America, GEHA Connection Dental Network, Humana, MetLife, Principal, TeamCare and United Concordia Dental plans. His goal is for you to be comfortable. This is why we offer a cozy living room-style lobby, a coffee bar, your choice of sparkling or flat water, a blanket and a pillow during your service, as well as picture-window views of our courtyard filled with birds, flowers and a koi pond. As a father of four, Dr. Moran understands the convenience of having a dental home for the entire family so he provides dental care for children of all ages and adults. He recommends children visit our clinic every six months after their first tooth arrives.

She spends her time off with her son, Will, eating fried chicken at the Monte Ne Inn and hiking White Rock and Devil’s Den with her Great Pyrenees, Ranger, and Boxer, Molly, in tow. Volunteering at Feed the 479 and at her son’s school are two of her favorite pastimes, along with growing tomatoes and bell peppers in her vegetable garden.

As patient care coordinator, Evelyn forms special bonds with patients as she educates them about their oral care needs. Over the years she has received very special gifts from patients including a wedding band from a patient that is a retired jeweler and a hand-crocheted baby blanket.

Clinic Technology

Our dental technology was recently updated to include three-dimensional (3D) imaging with the CareStream 8200 for better issue diagnosing and treatment. Our goal is to identify issues before they become large problems. Additionally, our team uses the iTero™ wand-style scanner so you no longer need to take goopy impressions of your teeth. This means less mess and less time you have to spend in the dental chair.

Giving Back

Dentistry of the Ozarks is proud to support Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkoma with a mission of providing a "home away from home" for families of hospitalized children. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkoma has been fulfilling its mission, with the help of the Northwest Arkansas and River Valley communities, since 1999. In that time, they have served over 17,000 children and families. Dr. Moran and his team participate in the Adopt-A-Room and Share-A-Meal programs at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. When he began giving back to Ronald McDonald House Charities, Dr. Moran had no idea his family would use their services only a short time later when his fourth child, Charlotte, was born. She remained in the neonatal intensive care unit for five days, during which Ronald McDonald House blessed his family with a place to stay while visiting their little girl, who today is a healthy, vibrant child.
