Every main dental specialty appears here, and several appear in useful numbers. This guide sets out what is listed, where it sits and what the registry does not record.
What is listed in White Station
37 of the 71 listings are tagged general dentistry. The specialist tags are 7 orthodontics, 7 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 6 pediatric dentistry, 6 periodontics, 5 prosthodontics, 3 dental clinic, 2 oral pathology and 1 endodontics. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the totals overlap.
That is broad coverage. Braces, extractions, implants, gum treatment, dentures and children's dentistry all have several listings each within the same two ZIP codes. Endodontics is the exception, with a single listing.
Poplar Ave holds 24 listings and Ridge Lake Blvd has 17. N Quail Hollow Rd has 6, and Ridgeway Center Pkwy and Aaron Brenner Dr have 5 each. 51 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 20 as organizations. 44 of the 71 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2005.

How to choose between them
With 37 general dentistry listings across five main streets, work out which road fits your routine and call two or three practices on it. Ask when a new patient exam is available and what the first appointment includes.
The advantage of this neighborhood is that referrals usually stay local. If you need braces, an extraction, an implant or gum treatment, there are several listings for each within the same area, so ask your general dentist whether their usual referral is nearby.
Root canal treatment is the exception, with 1 endodontics listing. Many general dentists carry out routine root canals themselves, so ask before assuming you will need a specialist appointment.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
There is no specialty gap in White Station. Every main dental specialty has at least one listing, and most have five or more, which is unusual outside a large medical district.
When you need more choice, East Memphis is the obvious next step, 1.9 miles away with 75 listings, slightly more than White Station itself. After that the nearby options thin out: Hickory Hill has 5 and Parkway Village has 3, both at 3.6 miles. Binghampton has 15 and Orange Mound has 7, both at 6.6 miles, and Hedgerow has 9 at 6.0 miles.

Insurance and paying
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. It records who is registered to practice and at what address. None of the 71 White Station listings has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner, so cost questions go to the practice directly.
Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan rather than with your insurer in general. In network normally means a rate agreed in advance. Out of network can still be workable if your plan pays a share, but you carry more of the bill.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. Where a general dentist and a specialist are both involved, ask each of them the network question separately.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on Poplar Ave and Ridge Lake Blvd and ask outright whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 37 general listings and 7 oral and maxillofacial surgery listings nearby, most urgent problems can be dealt with locally.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
If you would rather search by distance than by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from where you are.
