Dr. Richard D. Meekins Jr.

Dentists handle fillings and cleanings, but when teeth need deeper attention—impacted molars, jaw alignment, or surgical extractions—an oral surgeon steps in. Dr. Richard D. Meekins Jr. operates from a suite at 1251 Wesley Dr #101, Memphis, TN 38116, a quiet stretch of Wesley Drive where the hum of Midtown gives way to the practical rhythm of medical offices. The practice focuses on procedures that general dentists typically refer out: wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, and biopsies for oral pathology. Bone grafting and treatment for facial trauma round out the services, all performed in-office rather than a hospital setting.

Oral surgery isn’t a routine visit, so the office keeps the process direct. Questions about pre-op instructions or post-op care can be answered by calling (901) 398-0793. The suite shares a building with other healthcare providers, making it a familiar stop for patients already accustomed to the area. For directions, a map is the quickest way to confirm the turn off Poplar Avenue. If you’re scheduling a procedure, bring the referral and any imaging your dentist provided—it saves time on the first call.
