Dr. Emily Cheek received a bachelors degree in Biology from Hendrix College, her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and then completed her pediatric dental residency at Bon Secours Pediatric Dental Associates in Richmond, Virginia. She has also received special accolades through the Imhotep Society and The Richard Doggett and Marguerite Taylor Dean Honorary Odontological Society.
When she was young, Dr. Cheek had a traumatic dental injury where she lost a permanent tooth, however, her pediatric dentist was able to save her tooth as well as her smile. She was so grateful and, from that moment, she knew she wanted to provide the same quality of care for others.
When Dr. Cheek is not saving smiles, she is enjoying family life in the city of Little Rock with her husband, James, their two beautiful children, James and Julia, and their two dogs, Honey and Winston. Dr. Cheek enjoys trying new foods, exploring the outdoors, spending time at Lake Ouachita and cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Plaqusters are a super small species of bacteria that live mainly in the mouths of unsuspecting cool people. They are NOT clean and make a big mess everywhere. They LEAP from tooth to tooth, hang out on the gums, under the tongue and although they dont mean to do harm, they just cant help themselves. The longer they stick around in your mouth, the more damage they can do to your teeth. The best thing to do is blast them with fluoride and brush them away to a safe place where they can continue the party.
Thats where YOU come in. We make kids the hero in this adventure to help overcome fear and anxiety and win in the battle against plaque and cavities. During your Leap Kids Dental visit, your dentist will help you get rid of those pesky Plaqusters. Dont worry, you got this! Coach Molar and his Plaquster sniffing best friend, canine, will be there to help you along the way!

I started to bring my daughter out to leap kids dental at 2yrs COVID hit and I paused taking her anywhere. When it was available I started to bring her again to Leap kids dental on bowman. Staff is always nice and courteous. Today her assistant Ashley went above and beyond with making her feel at ease and special. Leap kids dental is the best!!!! Recommend 100%!!

We had our first visit today with Dr. Cheek and Angela since moving to Little Rock and our experience with them was exceptional! They made our daughter feel comfortable during her check-up and talked her through the experience until it was done. She left a happy girl! Thank you, Leap Kids Dental!!

Would not recommend. Tried to tell me me I'd have to pay almost $600 for something that is 100% covered by insurance and also billed insurance for a cleaning they did not do. We will not be going back here.

I cannot say enough good things about this dentist. My daughter had a traumatic experience at a previous dentist and we switched to Leap Kids. Dr Cheek and her staff were super supportive and understanding of her trauma. She has had multiple procedures done and each time they have been gentle with her and talked her through what sounds she would hear or what sensations she would feel. After her first big procedure here (3 crowns and a root canal) I left in tears because of how respectful they were to both of us and how safe and fearless they made my daughter feel. I cannot recommend them higher. Anyone who asks who we use I immediately give their name and talk their ear off about how amazing they are!

Keyuna and Dr. Cheeks, thank you for caring kindly for my little kiddos. You can tell the patience is there with you both to handle even the most overwhelmed child. It's always nice to feel welcomed at the clinic too. Great area in the back as well to keep other children occupied. Thank you ladies.
