Dr. Larry K. Wells, DMD

Root canals get a bad rap, but they’re often the difference between saving a tooth and losing one. That’s where Dr. Larry K. Wells, DMD comes in—an endodontist handling the kind of precise work that general dentists sometimes refer out. When a deep cavity or cracked tooth goes beyond a filling, this is the specialty that steps in to treat the nerve, remove infection, and get things back to normal. No flashy ads, no gimmicks—just the focused work of keeping natural teeth functional.

The office sits at 843 Mt Moriah Rd in Memphis, a stretch of the city where medical offices and local businesses mix without much fanfare. Endodontics isn’t the kind of practice you stumble into; people usually arrive after a referral or an urgent need. Procedures here run the gamut from routine root canals to more complex cases like retreatment or surgical endodontics. Some patients come in for trauma-related issues—maybe a tooth got knocked loose in a weekend softball game or a bike mishap. Others are dealing with stubborn infections that didn’t resolve with antibiotics alone.
