Fantastic experience: Awesome service! Very professional,knowledgeable, and friendly staff! Modern technology, clean office, and fast service. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: The Professionalism was OFF THE CHARTS!!! I can't wait to return to have My dental work completed
Fantastic experience: I hadn’t been to the office since 2009, and l loved my experience today! Came to get my teeth and Sierra did a wonderful job! Her bed side manners were impeccable! Definitely looking forward to my next visit Thank you all for a great experience!
Fantastic experience: The whole staff was truly amazing…you young lady at the front desk has amazing customer service hold on to her…she’s the face of your company
Fantastic experience: Outstanding services. Dr. Turnipseed is humorous with beautiful dental chair etiquette. She always does her best to make you comfortable with the most delicate care. Her assistants are great also. Please keep up the great work!
Negative experience: I feel like when I go to Dr. Turnupseed's office, they don’t run the insurance first to tell you exactly how much money you need after the insurance has paid. And there is always a surprise when you think you are paid in full, they also have an office manager in the front with a very raspy, loud voice. She is darkened and she doesn’t care about anyone’s privacy, but her own loudmouth every time one comes to the window. She delivered everyone your business. I personally have watched her behavior. She has always been the same way as long as I have been attending that Density Office. I really feel like that office hustle financially.
Fantastic experience: The Dr and all the others in this office that I saw/worked with are Very Professional with greeting and display Wonderful People work Skills. Thanks Very Much for your Service !!
Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with my hygienist Arbrielle. She gave me a detailed teeth cleaning with a gentle touch. I felt no pain whatsoever. She did a GREAT job on my teeth. And I felt very comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Learning what was going on with my teeth,I'm glad I finally came to see about them.it is very important that we see the Dentist.☺️
Fantastic experience: My Dr Turniseed was great and very efficient and professional
Fantastic experience: They will send the proposal of your needed procedures to your insurance company to see what they will allow, in my case Humana. Real nice people also
Negative experience: The whole experience from front desk, payment, and the Dr herself were awful..they were rude and incompetent. The Dr didn't even spend 20 seconds with me and the teeth cleaning was so rough I left in pain. 0/10 do not recommend. Don't even get me started on how dirty it was.
Fantastic experience: Nice clean office, no problem for me so far. Good location for me
Fantastic experience: Ms. Front desk did a great job, she did her part even if she’s sick. Dr. Dellywyn clearly explained the things that needs to get done.
Fantastic experience: I’m exceptionally please with the way I and other patients was greeted after entering. The ability of making patients aware of Covid restrictions noted on the door, made me feel quite confident that the clinic was following safety precautions.Being always afraid of going to the dentist , the friendly atmosphere made me slightly comfortable. Dr Kohan was very professional and informative. She as well provided service in a timely manner. And I was out within an hour and half after getting in the chair.
Fantastic experience: I love the staff and the sectary and the facility was really nice and clean l really was delighted
Fantastic experience: Staff was pleasant Didn't have to wait before my name was called
Fantastic experience: Very very good I had a good experience. Everything is very well. I will recommend my friends and Family
Fantastic experience: Staff was nice friendly and five
Fantastic experience: Great experience great customer service too.
Fantastic experience: The visit was great! The hygienist was very professional as well as thorough with my cleaning.
Fantastic experience: Would have liked to have known prior to visit that fillings were needed. Procedure was done well with little pain. Nice and clean and friendly and caring staff inclusive of Dr.Turnipseed
Thank you
Positive experience: Dr. Turnipseed was professional and kind, and as we conversed she looked me in the eye. The receptionist and x-ray tech were busy; however both were patient and very polite. There was a hygienist who didn’t look me in the eye when I spoke. She would walk in and out without saying anything to me. As a first time patient, who was full of anxiety, a little courtesy would’ve helped.
Fantastic experience: They have very knowledgeable dentists, and they are insurance friendly.
Fantastic experience: I love them! I used to be afraid to visit my dentist but am really comfortable with the hygienists here. Dr. Turnipseed is the best & takes care of our whole family.
Fantastic experience: Very fast and great customer service. The prices were reasonable. My teeth feels great
Fantastic experience: Everything was excellent and I am happy that I came.
Negative experience: I must update my review to say that I was given false information regarding treatment that supposedly had been done. I was alert during a procedure and know they only worked on one tooth tho they had numbed two areas. When I inquired why they weren't doing the other tooth, I was told by the person at front desk that my insurance didn't cover any more work. Dr. Turnipseed then tried to convince me that she had done that tooth previously. No coordination or communication. I might have been willing to pay the difference, but no one asked. They made the decision for me. I will never use this dentist again.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Front desk was quite welcoming. She was very, very busy but very polite. I was so nervous that my blood pressure was high. Shay was sweet, she went to introduce me to Olivia ( hygienist) in hope of CALMING me down. I needed to know who would do my procedure, & Shay made that happen . I felt better & procedure went well. I will return to complete procedure.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Turnipseed and Nay worked so diligently together for my hours long procedure the other day. I didn’t incur any pain, and the mood was very light-hearted which helped me to remain calm. No corners were cut in my encounter and I received proper post-op education. You’re in great hands with this team!
Fantastic experience: Good afternoon, I just left the Dental Connection and received the most patient and very good service from Dr Turnipseed and her staff, and Ms.Shay in billing, she's patient and will help you schedule your best appointment time. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff was very friendly, compassion and understanding.
Negative experience: Staff is nice but I feel like there was a lack of professionalism when it came to being transparent about treatment and treatment costs
Fantastic experience: Everything was great, everyone was friendly and I'm looking forward to my next treatment and my next visit, Love this place ❤️❤️.

Fantastic experience: Great service very people friendly and the waiting time is on point Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I had a late appointment and the staff was still very on point. High enthusiasm and courteous. Aubrielle my hygienist, is always very thorough. She addressed my concern, and wrote me an Rx. I had mentioned this same concern b4, but not to her, to another staff member but was not accommodated. 6-9 months passed. Aubrielle is very good at her job. I hope she stays with the company. This is my 2nd time getting a cleaning from her. Dental connection is lucky to have her.
Positive experience: The person I had cleaning my teeth on 10/01/2025 was not good she was rough on my gums when cleaning and my gums was bleeding and swollen when she got through with my cleaning. I don't what her anymore my gums are still sore and red.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service, Grade 1 oh one with the hygienist, And the staff is always in a good spirit with a smile on their face. They are extremely helpful and seem very caring with the servers that they are providing to you.

Shoutout to Mia as well she is so friendly and sweet every time I come there. Dental connection on poplar

Fantastic experience: The staff and Dr. Turnipseed…. are very attentive and thorough with fulfilling the job needed for cleaning, examination etc… The appointment staff are nice and do they best to schedule you for your service need on a call in or advance appointments…I been going for many years and they are efficient in all services…
Fantastic experience: My experience at the Dental Connection was great as it has been for the last 30 years. Thanks to the concerns of Dr. Turniseed’s, who is always participating in the procedure and process of caring for her patients. God bless her work and her staff
Fantastic experience: everyone was awesome. They were so friendly. The Dr Bailey was great.!!
Fantastic experience: I am so pleased about the dental care I received. Everyone was exceptionally great with making me feel welcomed, with explaining the strategy towards completing the care plan offered. I also appreciated the referral to a endodontist. I can foresee myself keeping this particular dental office. First impressions mean a lot.. I am very impressed! Thanks
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience today at The Dental Connection. Treated with respect and consideration. Enjoyed my day.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant employees@ Dr Turnipseed is amazing.I love the professional way patients are cared for @ treated.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and always professional. The clean office makes the visit much better.
Fantastic experience: So far everything has been very professional and I am looking forward to having my SMILE back...
Fantastic experience: The office is centrally located. When you enter, you're greeted with a smile by friendly staff. After your exam, they work out a plan that is affordable. Other dentist offices coherse, obligate and attempt to commit you into work that you may not need or want. They only cater to your specific needs. They take the time and explain exactly what is needed where it's understandable without the technical terminology. Most importantly, the technicians, hygienist and Dr.s insure that you don't experience any pain. I fully recommend the Dental Connection!!
Fantastic experience: They are truly a hidden gem in the city! The Midtown staff is Very professional and very knowledgeable! I took my son for a cleaning and an exam they went above and beyond! Most definitely recommend them
Fantastic experience: I recently had major dental procedures performed at The Dental Connection Midtown Memphis by Dr. Dellwyn Turnipseed, and I am extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the moment I walked into the office, I was met with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Turnipseed is highly skilled, patient, and thorough in her approach. She took the time to explain every step of my treatment, making sure I was informed and comfortable throughout the process. The procedures were handled with great care, and the results have exceeded my expectations. Her staff is equally exceptional—always courteous, efficient, and attentive. They made scheduling, follow-ups, and insurance matters seamless and stress-free. The environment is clean, well-organized, and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Turnipseed and her team to anyone seeking high-quality dental care delivered with professionalism and compassion. They truly set the standard for excellence in patient care.
Positive experience: Very friendly staff, but the time period for treatment was unexpected…. Treatment was interrupted for about 1.5 hrs… I suspect that your appointments may be too many to complete in a reasonable amount of time…
Positive experience: Everything was good, they made me feel good. I was a little nervous, but a sure me that everything was going to be all right.
Fantastic experience: True Professionals from the time you enter the door until the entire process is complete. I would Trust my Mom's Dental Work with this practice 2nd to none. Thank You, you earned yourself a customer today for life. Quantreal Lamont Underwood Sr and Family.
Fantastic experience: Very professional great customer service only been one time can’t wait to go back I will definitely recommend everyone that I know
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to go see Dr. Turnipseed. I've been a patient for over 20 years. The staff treats you with that good ole southern hospitality, like family!!!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is friendly and professional, the office is always clean, I never have a lengthy wait, and I'll be there as long as their doors open.
Fantastic experience: I like how happy the staff welcome you to the office making you feel comfortable. They value your time by getting you and addressing the reason why you came.
Positive experience: Everyone was professional. I had a tooth pull and Dr. Turnipseed was good. I was scared but she made me feel at ease. I really appreciate this office.
Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Turnipseed. She is very professional as well as the staff. I always enjoy my visits with Dr. T.
Fantastic experience: Dental Connection is great dentistry to go to get work done on your mouth. Now I'm scared of the dentist office right! But I wanted my smile back which means I searched hard because I am very picky person on very thing. I found dental Connection. My first visit was great that atmosphere from the reception desk back to x-ray and Dr Turnipseed excellent a five star. Don't just take my word for it come check it out yourself and thank me later
Negative experience: I honestly can’t believe how many positive reviews this place has. I’ve never been to an establishment so disgusting in life. Let’s start with the piece they put in your mouth for X-rays…. it had bite marks all over it and I asked the girl do they use a new one per client this lady told me NO they just sterilize it I almost threw up. Then I asked why I was tasting chemicals in my mouth from the tool this lady said you should always taste chemicals in your mouth when taking X-rays that’s how you know it’s clean. Then as I’m in the room getting checked for cleaning, in walks the TOOTHLESS cleaning lady and she uses the bathroom that is less than 2 steps away from where my head is laying with my mouth wide open. I can’t make this up! I would advise anyone, DO NOT EVER DO THIS TO YOURSELF. This place needs to be close immediately!
Fantastic experience: The Dental Connection makes you feel at home. The entire staff is polite and professional.
Negative experience: This is the worst dentist office i ever been to . The office staff is inexperienced on how to do insurance. I was told that my insurance didn't cover something that I needed done and that wasn't not true. I show them that it was covered and call my insurance and they told them that I was covered. And then they tried to give me a different dentist in there office that was not covered by my insurance and when I questioned them about it. They put me out there office. I wouldn't recommend anyone go to this location because the office staff is rude and unprofessional. And I had needed a emergency surgery done on my teeth.
Fantastic experience: I felt it was a very informative experience. I thought there was knowledgeable staff from the dental assistant to the dental hygienist to the doctor. I appreciated the professionalism.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly service explained everything to me clearly and was very quick with my appointment
Fantastic experience: I was made aware of The Dental Connection through my brother, who had services done there. From the moment I entered I was impressed with the immaculate way the facility is kept. I scheduled an appointment for myself and I'm even more impressed with the entire staff from the receptionist to the dentist. They are very thorough and make sure you understand what's being done and why. I highly recommend The Dental Connection!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service so far because I only had xrays and teeth cleaning
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this office. Staff is very welcoming and warm. Great work. Just a comfortable environment
Fantastic experience: The Dental Connection is the place to be if you need dental work done. The staff is so nice & helpful. The atmosphere is very clean, calming, & relaxing. If you are nervous about going to the dentist don't be, this place will make your nerves at ease. I recommend this place to everyone thats in need of an awesome dentist & I rate this place 10/10.
Fantastic experience: I Love Dr. Turnipseed and her staff. They are always pleasant and work together to get the job done. I highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking for an excellent dentist or orthodontist.
Fantastic experience: Haven't been to a dentist in a while because of bad experience, Firth time here and Very pleasant experience, top tier. The staff is truly amazing thank you all.
Negative experience: 04/21/25. Very inefficient with scheduling and servicing patients based on my wait time, packed waiting area, and other pissed off patients. Waited a 1:45 mins after my appointment time to be called back. Once in the back, I had to wait another 30mins. This is just for a basic cleaning. Paperwork completed in advance and arrived 15mins in advance of appointment. If you have time to waste, this is the dentist for you. If you value punctionality and efficiency of providers, this is not the place for you. Find a dentist that respects your time.
Fantastic experience: Great costumer service and very professional staff members and very affectionate to their patients
Fantastic experience: Everyone was friendly. It didn't take long to get seen. I enjoy coming here.
Fantastic experience: I can only speak for myself. I know just because you have a et time for an appointment doesn't mean that you're going to be seen at that time. The receptionist that checked me in, the young lady that did my xrays, the receptionist that checked me out and Dr Turnipseed were very professional. Dr. Turnipseed explained to me what her plans were for me but as she stated many times her main concern was taking care of the pain that I was in and my infection. I just felt so comfortable with her and her staff for some reason.
Fantastic experience: They were so gentle and nice to me and my son for his teeth cleaning. My wife really enjoyed the service for her cleaning and so did I. The tool hurt just a little but good
Thank you for your valued response
Positive experience: This was my first time visiting the Dental Connection Office located on Bellevue and Popular. The staff is so very friendly and helpful. They did everything to make me feel at ease. If you need dental services, I recommend that you give me them a call

Fantastic experience: The staff was very friendly and professional. I love how they explained everything in detail. They made me feel welcomed as I’m a new patient. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: They are very friendly. I went bsck at my appointment time and i was a first time customer. When I told them that I fear dentist from past experiences they took it to heart and were very patient..I had a great experience with them and will be using them as my primary dentist.
Fantastic experience: I thought I was going to have an extraction. I was pleased it was just a filling and an impression. Everyone is nice and helpful. I even got some samples of floss, which I wouldn't have been able to purchase until next week. You guys are great.
Fantastic experience: My visit was great. The hygienist was patient, gentle, and nice. I had less pain and bleeding.
Negative experience: My 1st visit was great but being told that I need 2 crowns was crazy. I knew about 1 but not the 2nd. Then going to get fitted for crown a tooth was broken and now they're saying I need a total of 2 more crowns not just 1 more. I feel like they broke the tooth because why was it not told on 1st visit if you did xrays? Something just isn't right. Time to find another dentist
