Celebrating Dr. Lundy's Retirement and a New Chapter at Elite Dental

Dr. Lundy has retired, and Drs. Arianna and David Cole are beginning a new chapter as co-owners of Elite Dental.

Elite Dental is beginning a new chapter, and we want to share what this transition means for the patients and families who have made this practice so special.

On July 7, 2026, Dr. Lundy officially retired, and Drs. Arianna and David Cole became the new co-owners of Elite Dental.

Celebrating Dr. Lundy

Dr. Lundy founded Elite Dental on May 1, 2014, with a commitment to thoughtful, personal dental care. Over the years, she built lasting relationships with patients and created a practice where people could feel known, comfortable, and well cared for.

In 2023, Elite Dental moved into its current home at 802 Kirk Road in West Little Rock. Although the location changed, the values behind the practice remained the same.

We are grateful for everything Dr. Lundy built and for the trust she earned from so many families throughout Little Rock. Her influence will remain an important part of Elite Dental as the practice moves forward.

We wish her a happy and well-deserved retirement.

Familiar Care and a New Partnership

Many patients already know Dr. Arianna Cole from her three years as an associate dentist at Elite Dental. She has had the privilege of caring for patients here and becoming part of the practice community before stepping into ownership.

Dr. Arianna is now joined by her husband, Dr. David Cole. Together, they will lead Elite Dental as co-owners and practicing dentists.

Drs. Arianna and David met during their first year of dental school and graduated together. Their shared approach to dentistry is straightforward: listen carefully, explain things clearly, and treat every patient with the same consideration they would want for their own family.

For Dr. Arianna, this transition is an opportunity to continue caring for patients she already knows. For Dr. David, it is a chance to join his wife and become part of a practice with a strong history of personal care. You can learn more about both doctors and their approach to dentistry here on our website.

What Patients Can Expect

While ownership has changed, much of what patients know and appreciate about Elite Dental is staying the same.

Our entire existing team is remaining with the practice. You will continue to see the familiar people who have welcomed you, answered your questions, and helped care for you over the years.

Elite Dental will also remain at the same location:

802 Kirk Road
Little Rock, AR 72223

Our phone number remains (501) 448-2386.

Most importantly, our commitment to providing a warm, attentive patient experience remains firmly in place.

Honoring the Past While Continuing to Improve

Drs. Arianna and David Cole are committed to preserving the wonderful patient experience Dr. Lundy established. They also believe that a good practice should always be looking for thoughtful ways to improve.

That means continuing to listen to our patients, supporting the team that makes Elite Dental special, and carefully considering how we can make each visit more comfortable, clear, and convenient.

Change can naturally bring questions, especially when it involves a trusted healthcare relationship. We want patients to know that this transition has been approached with respect for the practice’s history and optimism about its future.
