Our entire team loves being a part of the Little Rock community, so when were not helping patients, we dedicate much of our free time to organizations and causes that strive to make our home a happier and healthier place for everyone. Thats why we frequently partner and support local law enforcement, donate to Womens Own Worth, and offer a helping hand to underprivileged patients who cant afford basic dental care.
Our team includes several general dentists, two oral surgeons, an endodontist, prosthodontist, as well as an anesthesiologist. What this means for our patients is that no matter what procedure they need, they can trust it will be provided by a doctor who is able to perform it at the highest possible level. Our uniquely large team enables us to offer a variety of services you just wont find anywhere else, and you can start getting to know everyone by clicking on the images below.
In his younger years, Dr. Machen was given the opportunity to closely observe a friend of his who worked as a dentist. It didnt take long for him to realize that what he was seeing looked exactly like what he wanted his own future to be! The rest, they say, is history.
Dr. Machen completed his Bachelor of Science in Biology at Southern Arkansas University, followed by his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee in 1987. He has also undergone state-of-the-art training in BOTOX and TMJ treatment. He is a current member of the American Dental Association, Arkansas State Dental Association, and the Center District Dental Society.
Dr. Murphy decided late in high school that he wanted to either work in healthcare or attend law school, but it was difficult to choose a path. In his early college years, he visited his family dentist and orthodontist, who encouraged him to give dentistry a closer look. Later on, he took a course in dental anthropology, which helped to seal the deal as he really enjoyed it. Dentistry was also appealing to him because the doctor/patient relationships seemed so strong. He was very fortunate to be able to buy his family dentists office after graduating from dental school, and the rest is history.
After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Dr. Murphy pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in Memphis. Today, he always takes more than the required number of continuing education hours on a yearly basis to keep his skills sharp. He regularly attends the American Dental Association annual meeting as well, which features a plethora of education and networking opportunities.
Dr. Murphy also feels very fortunate to have worked part-time at the Arkansas Childrens Hospital Dental Clinic for over a decade, where he received invaluable experience regarding dental trauma in young children and teenagers. Some of his other accolades and distinctions include:
Dr. Murphy and his wife Candice met at the University of Arkansas in 1980 and have been married for over 35 years. She is the Computer Brain of the family with a BSHE degree, a BS degree in Management Information Systems, and a Masters in Information Quality! They are very proud of their grown children Ross and Paige. Ross is an attorney while Paige works in the film/television industry and is pursuing her Masters in Documentary Film.

I am also a medical professional and have received dental care from Dr Tramel and others in his office over several years. I've had several procedures and everything has been very smooth with no problem. I can't really say enough nice things about this practice from the office staff in front to the professionals in the back.

If my dentist is not in on the day that i have an appointment with him, why don't i get a call to reschedule. This has happened on my last two visits. Not good!!

I absolutely enjoyed my first visit today with Dr. Scallion. I was super comfortable with the staff and they was amazing with breaking down information for me to understand clearly about my tmj. Clean office and friendly! Definitely recommend.
