Derrick Johnson, DDS, FICOI, FAGD, AIAOMT:
Dentist Serving Bentonville, AR
For Dr. Derrick Johnson, dentistry has always been about more than just teeth—it's about truly listening to patients and helping them reclaim their health and confidence. With nearly three decades of experience, he's built his practice on a simple philosophy: every patient deserves personalized care in an environment where they feel heard, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
After earning his dental degree from Ohio State University in 1995, Dr. Johnson dove deep into advanced training in implantology and reconstructive biological dentistry—not because he had to, but because he wanted to offer his patients the very best. He's invested hundreds of hours studying with leading experts across the U.S., Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, always seeking out the latest innovations that can make a real difference in people's lives. This dedication has earned him Fellowship status in the International Congress of Oral Implantology and the Academy of General Dentistry, along with active memberships in organizations dedicated to advancing safe, metal-free dental solutions.
What truly sets Dr. Johnson apart is his ability to connect. Patients often tell him they've finally found someone who listens—who takes time to understand their concerns and explains everything in clear, straightforward terms. He's helped countless people resolve chronic dental issues they'd been dealing with for years, often when they'd nearly given up hope.
Outside the practice, Dr. Johnson lives the balanced, active lifestyle he encourages in others. You'll find him hiking with his wife Natalia and their dog Enzo, flying (he's an instrument-rated pilot), or on the tennis court. As a father of two adventurous daughters, he's learned that the best moments often happen outdoors, exploring new places and embracing what the natural world has to offer.
“I had the nicest experience the other day in the lobby of our office. Four of my favorite patients all had appointments that day, and I got to go out and catch up with them. Each one had gone on a pretty significant journey to regain the health of their mouth and get their smile back. To see this having a positive impact on their life three, four, five years later, and appreciating the bond and connection I had with all of them…sharing stories about our lives and their experience, was really great! These relationships and the positive things that grow out of them make this such a rewarding profession for me.” DR. DERRICK
