Harrison Dentistry is a family profession that has spanned three generations.
It began when Patrick Harrison chose to go to dental school and graduated in 1946 from the University of Tennessee at Memphis. Originally from Blytheville, Dr.Pat set up practice in Brinkley. He was also an active member in the Air Force, serving our country during the Korean War. After the war, he returned to Brinkley where he and his wife raised three children and he continued his dental practice for 46 years. He is now retired and still living in the Brinkley area.
Dr. Mike Harrison graduated in 1977 from the University of Tennessee. His practice has been a part of the Hot Springs community for over 35 years. Dr. Mike has been married for over 35 years to Mary Harrison, who is a registered nurse with CHI St Vincent Hot Springs. They have three children Stephen, Kevin and Kristen, and four beautiful grandchildren.
Dr. Mike’s son, Stephen grew up in Hot Springs and graduated valedictorian from Lakeside in 1997. He went to the University of Arkansas and graduated with high honors. He continued on to graduate from the University of Tennessee in 2005. He did a year residency specializing in implants before returning home and is currently furthering his profession by specializing in endodontics. His wife, Meritt Harrison, is a pharmacist. Dr. Mike Harrison offers complete dental care, addressing the full mouth for the entire family. His office is beautifully designed with patient comfort in mind. He and his staff make sure to treat every patient with the absolute best care and do everything within their means to make the patients experience comfortable, calm, and stress free.
He has extensive experience in all sections of dental treatment including reconstructive, cosmetic, implant and TMJ treatment, with TMJ being a passion that has led to additional training and education. Proper TMJ treatment can substantially improve a person’s life on a daily basis.
Dr. Mike says “It is an absolute privilege and a blessing to have been a part of this community for so long. We have lived and raised our children here and we could not think of any place we would rather be. We strive to be a contributing part of the community and want to help those in the community by offering quality care.”
