Meet The Doctors


Both Dr Hays and Dr Simmons were raised and attended school here in Benton, Arkansas. They have family ties as well as many friends here in Saline County and that's why they practice dentistry here.

Dr. Cliff Hays


After finishing dental school in 1991, Dr. Hays joined his father; Dr. George Hays, in his Benton practice. He quickly established himself as one of the most respected dentist in Central Arkansas. He also has patients who come from around the U.S. because of his reputation of being sincerely concerned about their teeth and well being. Dr. Hays is a member of the ADA, ASDA, ICOI (International Congress of Oral Implantology) and the AGD (Academy of General Dentistry).

Dr. Hays has been voted Best Dentist in Saline County 5 times. He is very proud to have such recognition in his office and feels it is a compliment to his practice.


Dr. Celita Simmons


Dr. Simmons was born in Benton and has always lived here except for the time she was away at school. She graduated from the University of Tennessee dental school at the top of her class. She joined Dr. Hays practice in 1999. Dr. Simmons has also been voted Best Dentist in Saline County.

Dr. Simmons has raised her two sons in Benton and takes great pride in our Saline county community, our schools and also her church.

Dr. Simmons has loved the practice of dentistry and enjoys providing the best dental care to her patients. She feels it is important to educate her patients on the dental treatment options available to them so they can make informed decisions about their dental care.

She feels like one of her greatest blessings in life is getting to know her patients and their families, and providing them dental treatment. She considers this an honor and is very grateful for the opportunity to be your dentist.
