Pinnacle Country Club resident and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. Scotty Bolding is nationally recognized as one of the foremost experts in TMJ and Airway Surgery—and his commitment to transforming lives through advanced care can be found right here in Northwest Arkansas at PreciDent Center for Facial and Dental Medicine, located in Pinnacle Hills.

A native Arkansan, Dr. Bolding earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Arkansas, where he proudly served as a student manager for the Razorback basketball team under legendary Coach Eddie Sutton. One of his fondest memories? Traveling with the team in 1983 when they famously defeated Michael Jordan and the North Carolina Tar Heels. After completing dental school at Baylor College of Dentistry, Dr. Bolding pursued advanced specialty training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Baylor University Medical Center, launching a career that has combined surgical excellence, research, and education across the country and abroad.

As the founder of PreciDent Center for Facial and Dental Medicine in Pinnacle Hills, Dr. Scotty Bolding leads a dedicated team focused on the comprehensive treatment of facial and dental conditions. With over 30 years of experience practicing in Northwest Arkansas, he brings both deep expertise and a compassionate approach to care. His specialties include TMJ disorders, airway and sleep apnea surgery, robotic full-mouth dental implant reconstruction, facial reconstruction, wisdom teeth removal, dental extractions, and biopsies. Dr. Bolding’s practice serves patients from across Arkansas and beyond, offering some of the most advanced oral and maxillofacial surgery services available.

One of the most urgent issues Dr. Bolding and his team encounter is the rising prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea—a condition that can have life-altering effects on health, sleep quality, and overall well-being. While CPAP machines have long been the gold standard, many patients are unable or unwilling to use them consistently. This gap in care can lead to severe medical complications. That’s where PreciDent comes in: through advanced surgical options, patients have the opportunity to correct airway obstructions and potentially cure their sleep apnea, freeing them from dependence on CPAP machines.

“We’re working hard to educate patients across Arkansas that surgery may be a real solution,” Dr. Bolding says. “We want people to know they don’t have to suffer silently or feel stuck with treatments that don’t work for them.”

What truly sets Dr. Bolding apart is his unwavering commitment to patient-centered care and the genuine compassion he brings to every interaction. He takes the time to listen closely to each individual’s concerns and works collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans. His thoughtful approach ensures patients feel seen, heard, and fully supported throughout their healing journey.

Beyond treatment, PreciDent partners closely with local dentists and physicians to promote awareness of the importance of early childhood jaw development, which plays a critical role in preventing airway and facial issues later in life. Dr. Bolding’s commitment extends to patients at Mercy Hospital, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, and within his state-of-the-art Pinnacle Hills practice. His ultimate goal is to improve lives through education, cutting-edge care, and compassionate service.

Dr. Bolding has been a practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Northwest Arkansas for several years, simultaneously serving as an educator and researcher—continuing to raise the standard of care both locally and nationally.

If you or someone you love suffers from TMJ pain, advanced dental disease, severe snoring, or sleep apnea, PreciDent Center for Facial and Dental Medicine may offer the long-term solution you’ve been waiting for.
