I have terrible teeth. Always have. When I was still under my parent's nice nice nice insurance, I had quite a bit of work done, including a few dental implants.

However, I've not had any insurance for six years. I have had a few teeth in the back crack, and I even had one in the back pulled about three years ago.

Yesterday, one of my front teeth began to crack and crumble.
And it is starting to seriously hurt. (I have a pretty high pain tolerence, especially in the teeths area, so pain to the point of getting my attention is unusual.)

My old dentist, who was wonderful, is retired (he may have passed away for all i know!) And the guy that did my implants doesn't deal with anything except surgical stuff.

Can anyone recommend a dentist? I work in Hickory Hill, I live near walnut grove and mendenhall. However, I do not mind driving for some one that is worth it. My old dentist was in Olive Branch! (The only place I'd rather not go is Collierville. I just don't function there.) Obviously, I don't have any insurance, but I'm not going to price shop someone I will be paying to stab me in the gums.
There is a dentist next door to my work, but he is closed on Fridays (and saturdays). This is almost an emergency, so I don't really care what day I can get in, but for the future, it is easier for me to take off work on Fridays for appointments and such.
So far the best I've been able to come up with is that my tattoo artist offered to help...He said he can hit me with a hammer and stick some spackle over the offending tooth. Please help me find someone before I take him up on the offer!

Bartlett Dental on Kirby Whitten is good. My very first visit was an emergency visit for a broken tooth and they got me in ASAP. Later I also was able to have some crown work done using their credit plan.
Nice staff, modern equipment, pleasant atmosphere.
LOL, they've put up a link to a short video of their office, if you can deal with the annoying music take a quick peak.

+1 here. My wife got her wisdom teeth pulled out at UT before we got married and they did a great job for a substantial discount.
