Westrock Orthodontics, a clinic affiliated with Rock Dental Brands, announced its partnership with college football quarterback KJ Jefferson. The collaboration is the companys second NIL partnership that aims to promote the importance of oral health and a healthy smile, as well as document Jeffersons own oral health journey and smile transformation.
We are thrilled to add KJ to our all-star lineup to promote the importance of a healthy smile, said Westrock orthodontist Dr. Darren Hallums. We are a competitive group of providers that knows first-hand the effect a healthy smile can have on someones confidence. KJ is a well-known athlete and a 4-star football recruit. We couldnt be more proud that he trusts our team.
Jefferson is a native of Sardis, Miss. and a starting college football quarterback currently playing in Fayetteville, Ark. The partnership with Westrock Orthodontics was formed in light of the law passed in July 2021 allowing student athletes to be compensated for the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL).
Im excited to join the Westrock Orthodontics team as its newest patient and student athlete ambassador, said Jefferson. Rock Dental Brands is the states leader in oral health with clinics all over Arkansas and the region, including Westrock Orthodontics in Fayetteville, so I couldnt think of a better partner for me.
We are proud to announce our second NIL partnership and to welcome college football star KJ Jefferson to the Rock Dental Brands team, said Kristi Crum, CEO of Rock Dental Brands. Weve seen an outpouring of positive support from our first partnership with college basketball guard AuDiese Toney. We believe that everyone deserves a healthy smile and we are proud to make an investment in these players that will last a lifetime. We hope that this is another announcement of many as we continue building a star-studded line up of student athletes and NIL opportunities for our clinics and providers.

We came in for a consultation. My son was VERY nervous. They reassured him that everything would be OK. After assessing him and going over the next steps. He left confident and happy. Can't wait to start this journey with them!!

Dr. A and the staff were fantastic. I was always greeted in a friendly manner. The techs are great and very efficient. I rarely spent much time waiting. My smile is 100% better and I'm so thankful I used Westrock!

We took our daughter for a consultation. The doctor took X-rays and after an exam, recommended us to wait to see how the permanent teeth and bite would adjust. We really appreciate the honesty and professionalism with this group. Our older son and daughter also received excellent care.

At my first couple of visits the staff and everyone were as sweet as possible, however my visit in November had come and I asked for a day that I was off of school now they could of said no that that day wasn't available but they didn't they made the appointment then called my mother and were rude, when they went to make my appointment for December they wanted to make it for my finals week I nneedes to take finals because they are worth a big part of my grade so I asked if we could do it before or after, the lady again rudely said fine come I. January 3rd, then my mom called the second and my appointment without our knowing was moved to the second, then today I asked about my bottom braces and I told the lady I was talking to EVERYTHING from the first day I went to the day my mom called about something and the desk lady was really rude to her, then all the staff including the dentist started putting the words "after school appointments" in my mouth when that was never said I had simply said that the desk lady was rude to me when I asked for an appointment on a day that MY school was off because I had lost my credits. Overall I don't recommend because they are highly rude and don't care about if you lose your credits or not.

Dr. Courtney and staff are great! My son and myself have both received orthodontia care and have had positive experiences. The team is always very professional and friendly! As mother/son patients, they worked with us to accommodate our schedules. The even made it fun to 'race' during our visits (all while doing a thorough job!) I highly recommend Westrock for a beautiful smile!

The office in Poplar Bluff is filled with smiles all the time. Super friendly staff. I originally went in super self conscious with my smile, just a short year later, I already feel so much better! The staff always asks how you have been and actually care! Their staff treats you like family! I have been to other Orthodontists/Dentists and Westrock is by far my favorite! I would definitely recommend getting braces for you or your children here!!
