West Little Rock’s Dental Home, Built on 30 Years of Trust

Rainwater Drake Dental has been caring for Little Rock families for more than 30 years. With over 65 years of combined clinical experience, we carry that legacy forward with the same commitment to excellence: providing world-class dental care with a trusted hometown feel, with a team of young, hometown doctors who plan to be here for the rest of your life.

For more than 30 years, this practice has been a cornerstone of dental care in Little Rock, built on a foundation of trust, relationships, and clinical excellence. Established by Dr. Gary Weisbly and Dr. Drake Hawkins, the practice was founded on a simple but powerful vision: to provide high-quality, compassionate dentistry in an environment where patients feel known, valued, and cared for.

We carry that vision forward today. With over 65 years of combined clinical experience across our team, Dr. David Rainwater and Dr. Michael Drake, both Little Rock natives, continue the tradition built here, bringing advanced clinical techniques and a deep commitment to the patients in this community. In 2013, Dr. Rainwater joined the practice, followed by Dr. Michael Drake in 2025, completing a team built for the long haul.

Together, they continue a tradition built on trust, clinical excellence, and a genuine love for this community.

Choosing a dental practice is about more than location or insurance. It's about finding a team you can trust for life: one that knows your history, remembers your name, and is genuinely invested in your long-term health. Here's what that looks like at Rainwater Drake Dental.

Young Doctors. Lifetime Commitment.

Most practices in Little Rock are led by doctors approaching retirement. We're different. Dr. Rainwater and Dr. Drake are young, deeply rooted in this community, and plan to practice here for the rest of their careers. That means when you find us, you're done looking. You won't need to start over with someone new when your dentist retires. This is your last stop for great dental care, and for your kids, too.

Advanced Care Without the Extra Referrals

From dental implants and full arch rehabilitation to Invisalign and comprehensive cosmetic dentistry, we offer care that most general practices refer out. Our doctors have completed advanced training, including full-arch rehabilitation certification at Arrowhead Labs, so you can receive complex, high-quality treatment in one familiar setting, without bouncing between specialists.

Technology That Makes Dentistry Better

We use the iTero digital scanner to map your smile in precise 3D detail, so you can see exactly what we're planning before treatment begins. Combined with Cone Beam CT/3D imaging, digital X-rays, and intraoral cameras, our technology gives you and us a level of clarity and confidence that older methods simply can't match. For patients who need a little extra comfort, we offer both nitrous oxide and oral sedation.

A Team That Remembers Your Name

What sets us apart most is the relationship. Our patients tell us they feel like family here, and that's not an accident. It's something our whole team works to protect. When you call, someone who knows you picks up. When you come in, someone remembers what you talked about last time. That continuity matters, and it's something you won't find everywhere.
