Ronald K. Girlinghouse, DDS

Our founder

Dr. Ronald K. Girlinghouse grew up in Louisiana and graduated from the LSU School of Dentistry. He started his general practice in Fort Smith in 1980.

He has always believed in giving back to the community and has served many charitable organizations. He served 23 years in the Arkansas Air National Guard and retired as a Colonel.

Dr. Ron is an avid pilot and still enjoys flying away for a weekend. As a testament to his commitment to continually growing, he attained his commercial pilot’s license at age 65.

In 2000, he realized that dentures were too expensive for many folks. He discovered a tremendous markup by commercial dental labs for denture teeth. By buying the teeth directly and having the lab in each office, he could pass those savings along to the patient. That is when he started Dentures Today, with the idea that we could provide quality care without having to make patients feel like they are herded through. We operate by appointment and respect your time.

Dentures Today has two offices in Fort Smith and Van Buren. We continue to offer great value by providing first-quality dentures at a reasonable price. Our motto will always be ‘affordable quality, close to home.’
