Meet the Poplar Pike Family
Dr. Thomas Cooner, DDS
Dr. Thomas Cooner is thrilled to be part of the Poplar Pike Dental team and have the opportunity to serve this community of patients! Dr. Cooner has long admired the positive impact that dentists can have on their patients' lives as his dad is also a dentist.
When the time came, after getting his Bachelor of Science (BS) from the University of Arkansas, the decision was easy and Dr. Cooner went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. After that, he completed a one-year general practice residency at UAMS in Little Rock. He has been serving patients since and is an active member of the Memphis Dental Society and the Tennessee Dental Association.
Patients can expect high-quality care focused on their overall health, delivered with compassion and empathy. Dr. Cooner stays current with the latest advancements in dental technology, including the use of 3D printing, to ensure the best possible outcomes for his patients. Dr Cooner brings a wealth of expertise in crowns and bridges, general preventive dentistry, dental implants, oral surgery, restorative dentistry and emergency dentistry, with the aim of being able to serve each patient as comprehensively as possible.
Outside of work, Dr. Cooner enjoys spending time with his wife Kamren, who is also a dentist! They met in dental school, married in 2022, and they have a golden retriever named Otis. Dr. Cooner enjoys playing sports such as golf and tennis and cheering on his favorite teams: the Arkansas Razorbacks and Memphis Grizzlies. Dr. Cooner is dedicated to making dental visits comfortable and enjoyable and to creating a welcoming and fun environment here at Poplar Pike Dental.

Excellent Care
"Dr. Dugard has been my dentist for 20+ years, and I hope he will continue for many more. I'm over 65 and have needed some old fillings replaced, and his workmanship is excellent. He has kept up with the latest in technology and technique. I've needed his help after hours or on holiday twice over the years, and he was there to help me. I highly recommend him to anyone."
