Dr. William Priester

Prosthodontics isn’t the kind of specialty you think about daily—until you need it. Dr. William Priester practices in this niche, focusing on complex dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures. The field bridges aesthetics and function, which explains why some patients travel specifically for this kind of care. Memphis’s eastern side, near Germantown, hosts the office at 5866 Ridge Bend Rd #1, a stretch that’s more residential than commercial but still easy to reach from major routes.

Unlike general dentistry, prosthodontics often deals with rebuilding smiles after trauma, decay, or congenital issues. That means everything from single-tooth implants to full-mouth reconstructions falls under this umbrella. Some patients arrive with referrals; others come after researching specialists who handle intricate cases. The area around Ridge Bend Road stays quiet compared to downtown, but it’s a straightforward drive for anyone in Shelby County—no highway detours required.

Booking a consultation usually starts with a call. (901) 767-8759 connects directly to the office, where they’ll outline what to expect during the first visit. Prosthodontic work often begins with a detailed assessment, so bringing past dental records can save time. The practice doesn’t advertise walk-ins, but the phone line is the quickest way to confirm availability or ask about specific procedures like veneers or implant-supported dentures.

First-time visitors might want to preview the location. A map pinpoints the suite off Ridge Bend Road, just north of the intersection with Poplar Pike. The building itself is unassuming—no flashy signage—but the address is clearly marked. For those mapping out a route, morning traffic along Poplar tends to be lighter than the evening rush.
