Five-Star Experiences

"Dr. Cheryl Bird is an amazing doctor. She knows what she's doing and she's going to get you right. Thank Southern Dental for everything nothing but love ❤️ for you all."
DeAndre A.

"My dentist in Memphis retired & Southern Dental was suggested to us by a friend from church. They went above and beyond to get me in as soon as possible to keep me on my 6 month cleaning schedule. They are all so sweet & very thorough. Haven't had my teeth cleaned that well ever."
Gayle M.

"Everyone was friendly! Dental assistant was great at explaining all procedures. Dr. Bird was also great and made sure I was comfortable and the procedure went without pain. I have finally found a local dentist!"
John T.

"Everyone was super kind and answered all of my questions. I'm terrified of all dentists but Dr. Bird was kind and compassionate and spoke to me with respect. I felt so relieved when I left. I have never felt more at ease than at Southern Dental."
Jodi

"They really are the most caring people here. They bend over backwards to help you when you're in need. Dr. Langston is the man! Treats you like a person instead of a patient. If you are an anxious person or fearful of going to the dentist. This is the place you need to start going to."
Rick C.

"My family all receive great care at Southern Dental of Munford. They are helpful in working out appointment scheduling for my family of 4. We appreciate their kindness and their service for keeping us healthy! I notice that they go above and beyond, they listen, and make sure each appointment is a great experience."
