Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on maintaining oral health through cleanings, exams, and early detection of issues. We emphasize preventive care to avoid costly treatments later. Patients receive personalized guidance on hygiene and diet to support long-term dental wellness.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves smiles with teeth whitening, veneers, and Invisalign. We address discoloration, misalignment, and gaps to boost confidence. Treatments are tailored to achieve natural-looking results that complement facial aesthetics.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative services like crowns, bridges, and implants repair damaged or missing teeth. We restore function and appearance using durable materials. Treatments prevent further oral health complications and enhance chewing ability.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly with custom clear aligners. It corrects overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues without traditional braces. The treatment plan uses gradual adjustments for comfortable, effective results.
Emergency Care
Emergency care addresses sudden dental pain, broken teeth, or lost fillings. We prioritize prompt appointments to relieve discomfort and prevent worsening conditions. Services include root canals, extractions, and trauma assessments.

Was in the waiting room 30 min before I was seen but Dr. Messer & staff were very friendly and engaging, and I felt they were being genuine with the work I needed done. Just moved here and am glad to say I found my new dentist on the first try!

Dr. Messer and his staff are always nice and professional. They always provide great details about your procedure, including cleanings and offer suggestions for aftercare. I have referred several family members and friends to this office.

The staff and dentist were all great, attentive, and informative. There patience with me as well as with others that I manage to witness is outstanding. You can't always see the front staff and the medical staff all have a great personality, but I did that day. Keep up the great teamwork and taking care of us! I look forward to being your patient.

What a disappointment. Signed up for Invisalign. Wore them for 13 months. Teeth didn't shift. Final appointment, the dentist tells me, what I already complained about; my teeth did not shift. My overbite was not corrected. Then, he explained that i have a natural over bite. Now, I wish he would have told me that from the initial appointment when I was first seen. I never would have signed up for Invisalign.
Hearing that, how can I be a good candidate to correct an overbite to make my teeth meet instead of overlap, if my mouth is naturally made where my top teeth go over my bottom. So, $4500 + my time & wearing those trays for 13 months = no results.

This is the best dental office in Memphis! The staff is absolutely amazing! They're patient with me & take the time to listen to my concerns. I initially chose this location a couple of years ago because it was convenient & close to my home, I've since moved & wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you Southwind dental for all that you do, you are truly appreciated!
