Higginbotham Family Dental

Dentists rarely feel like landmarks, yet some become quiet fixtures in a neighborhood. Higginbotham Family Dental fits that pattern—steady, unassuming, and exactly where you need it when a molar starts to ache or a cleaning can’t wait another month.

The office sits at 5100 Wheelis Dr Ste. 214, Memphis, TN 38117, tucked into a low-slung brick building just off the main thoroughfare. The area blends small medical suites with local cafés and hardware stores, a mix that keeps the sidewalks active without feeling crowded. Routine check-ups, fillings, and preventive care are the backbone of what they handle, though they also offer crowns, bridges, and pediatric visits for families who prefer one familiar spot.

Memphis has its share of dental chains, but independent practices like this one often move at a different pace. Same-day appointments for urgent issues aren’t guaranteed, yet many patients report that a call to (901) 767-1610 usually secures a slot within a day or two. The phone line is answered by someone who can walk you through what to expect, which saves a trip if you’re unsure whether that twinge needs attention.

For directions, pull up the map before you leave—Wheelis isn’t the kind of street you stumble upon by accident. Most people who go once end up returning, not because they’re forced to, but because the parking lot is never full and the drive rarely takes more than ten minutes from midtown.
