Hudsmith Family Dental

Cleanings and crowns sit side by side on the Hudsmith Family Dental ledger; nothing flashy, just first-rate preventative care and restorative work. Right off Poplar, at 3445 Poplar Ave ste 11 in Memphis, the neighborhood has settled in for decades around this unflashy storefront. You won’t find theme-park dentistry here—just a practitioner of the usual routine and the not-so-usual repairs. The office handles six-month checkups, deep cleanings, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, night guards, and simple extractions.

This is Midtown Memphis dentistry stripped to its purposes: no frills, no gimmicks. The address hovers just south of Broad Avenue’s retail pulse and north of the medical corridors along Union—handy if you’re commuting between Cooper-Young and downtown. The waiting list rarely stretches past a week, and same-day emergencies get squeezed in if the slot opens. Still, don’t phone at 7 p.m. expecting an answer; business hours are strictly daytime.

Talk to the front desk at (901) 458-0700 for a consult or a second opinion—no voicemail maze, just a human on the line during business hours. They’ll pencil you in for bite-wing X-rays, Invisalign scans, or a simple fluoride treatment; the schedule bends for pain more than for polishing. The phone doubles as a triage line when a crown chips on a Friday.

You can trace the route with one click on the directions link if Poplar’s one-way detours confuse you. The building blends into the strip-mall chorus; the only landmark worth mentioning is the orange-brick public library half a mile west.
