Meet Our Dental Expert

Yamileth Pate grew up in Honduras, where she earned her degree in dentistry in 1990. After graduating, she spent two years volunteering with World Gospel Outreach, bringing much-needed dental care to underserved communities. Her path then took her to the United States, where she worked tirelessly to rebuild her dental career. With determination and hard work, she was accepted into the University of Tennessee Dental School in Memphis, graduating with honors in 1999. That same year, she proudly became a U.S. citizen. Her dedication to prosthetics earned her recognition from the Removable Prosthetics Department for her exceptional work with partials and dentures.

In 2009, she and several team members traveled to Honduras on a mission trip, offering essential dental care to her native community. The experience left a lasting impact, inspiring her to return every year through World Gospel Outreach to continue serving those in need.

Today, Dr. Pate is an accreditation candidate with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. She is working toward becoming the first female accredited member of the AACD in Arkansas, a distinction that would make her just the third accredited member in the state. This achievement reflects her unwavering dedication to providing top-tier dental care in the Bentonville area.

At her bilingual practice, Hope Dental Professionals, in Bentonville, Arkansas, she and her team offer a full range of dental services, including sedation dentistry. What sets her practice apart is its focus on whole-person wellness, ensuring patients receive care that goes beyond just their oral health. She and her team are committed to personalized, compassionate care, only recommending treatments they would choose for their own families. A firm believer in continuous education, she stays up to date with the latest advancements in dentistry and maintains active membership in various professional associations.

Dr. Pate’s personal life is just as meaningful. While serving in Honduras with World Gospel Outreach, she met and married her husband, Eric. Together, they have built a loving family with their two children, Adriana and Joshua. For the past 20 years, they have been active members of Fellowship Bible Church Mosaic Congregation and played a key role in launching the Joppa House of Prayer in Rogers seven years ago. In her free time, she enjoys playing tennis, while the whole family shares a love for biking, boating, and spending quality time together.
