Dr. Stephen A. Scott is excited to announce a partnership between Stephen A. Scott, DDS, MS, and Westrock Orthodontics effective January 2017. Dr. Scott is not retiring and plans to be fully involved in treatment for all of his patients. Patients will not see any changes in the office’s talented staff, or diagnostic and treatment regimen.

“I’ve been operating my practice on my own for many years now, but I am ready to join this team of forward-thinking individuals,” says Dr. Scott. “The network of dental practitioners that I will now have access to is a real advantage in providing quality care to my patients. I look forward to collaborating with this talented group of people.”

Dr. Shanon Kirchhoff, currently practicing at Westrock Orthodontics, and Dr. Stephen Scott, will be joining practices under the name Westrock Orthodontics. Currently, the plan is for both offices to merge schedules and see patients out of Dr. Scott’s current location at 705 W. Faulkner Street in El Dorado starting April 2017. Collectively, Westrock Orthodontics is able to provide patients access to a wealth of knowledge with a network of specialists across Arkansas and Missouri. This ensures that patients are receiving the most successful and advanced treatment possible. Currently, 10+ orthodontists own and practice under the Westrock Orthodontics name.

“We are a group of committed orthodontists, who share business services and practice experience.  This allows a consistent increase in office efficiency and technological advancement, in addition to reducing overhead,” says Dr. Shanon Kirchhoff, who joined Westrock Orthodontics in June of 2016. “Being a part of this group has allowed me to focus on being an orthodontist, and I have enjoyed that.”

Both orthodontists are excited and grateful for the support of their patients and community partners as they work together to continue creating beautiful smiles in the El Dorado community, which both doctors are proud to call home.
