Department of Endodontics @ UTHSC

Memphis has its share of specialty dental clinics, but few operate under the same academic umbrella as the Department of Endodontics @ UTHSC. Situated at 875 Union Ave, the office sits on the edge of the medical district—close enough to the hustle of downtown yet anchored in the quieter rhythm of the University of Tennessee campus.

This isn’t your typical neighborhood dentist. Endodontics zeroes in on the inner workings of teeth: root canals, cracked-tooth repairs, and treatments for dental trauma. The clinic handles cases that general practitioners often refer out, so you’ll find patients who’ve been sent here after initial consultations elsewhere. That referral dynamic gives the place a steady, no-nonsense flow; people arrive with specific needs and leave with procedures completed.

If you’re considering a visit, jot down (901) 448-3636—appointments are scheduled through the same line that handles clinical inquiries. While the building itself is part of a larger health-sciences complex, the endodontic wing maintains its own entrance, making it easier to navigate once you’re on campus. No need to wander through hospital corridors.

For directions, pull up the map before heading over; the address is straightforward, but campus parking can be a puzzle if you’re not familiar with the area. Locals usually just say it’s “by the dental school,” which narrows it down fast.
