This guide sticks to what the registry records show: how many practices there are, what they do, which streets they sit on and which ZIP codes they fall in. Anything the records do not hold, such as fees or opening hours, we say so plainly rather than guess.
What is listed in Pinehurst
Of the 47 practices here, 25 are general dentistry. The rest split across orthodontics with 7, dental clinics with 5, oral and maxillofacial surgery with 5, pediatric dentistry with 4, and a single endodontics listing.
The practices are not spread evenly. Airport Blvd alone accounts for 18 of them and Grelot Rd for another 12, with Hillcrest Rd holding 6 and Omni Park Dr holding 4. If you want somewhere you can reach on one trip, those two main roads are where to start looking. The listings fall inside three ZIP codes: 36608, 36609 and 36695.
Thirty of the 47 are registered as individual practitioners and 17 as organizations, which is a useful signal about scale. Twenty-seven have been in the registry since before 2010, and the oldest registration in Pinehurst dates back to 2005.

How to choose between them
For routine care, checkups, fillings, cleanings and crowns, the 25 general dentists are your working shortlist. That is a big enough number that you can afford to be picky about location and about whether the practice answers the phone helpfully when you call.
The mix here is unusual in one respect: orthodontics, oral surgery and pediatric dentistry are all reasonably well represented, with 7, 5 and 4 listings. So braces, extractions, wisdom teeth and children's dentistry can all be handled without leaving the neighborhood. Endodontics is thinner, with just one listing, so if you need a root canal you may find that practice booked and want a second name ready.
The individual versus organization split matters more than it sounds. With 30 individual practitioners, many of these are small practices where you will see the same dentist each visit. The 17 organizations are more likely to have several chairs and more appointment slots.
If you need something Pinehurst does not have
Two specialties have no listing in Pinehurst at all. For periodontics, gum disease treatment and gum surgery, the nearest listings are elsewhere in Mobile, about 1.5 miles away, where 6 practices are recorded. Prosthodontics, which covers complex crown, bridge and denture work, is the same distance, with 4 practices listed.
If the practices here are full or you simply want more names to compare, the nearest neighborhoods with their own listings are Winthrop Square, 0.8 miles away with 29 practices, and Country Club Village, 1.4 miles away with 23. The Estates at Lafayette Square is 2.4 miles out with 18, and Brookwood is 4.4 miles out with 14. Bridlewood and Lansdowne are further, at 3.4 and 3.9 miles, and have 3 listings each.
Your general dentist will usually refer you rather than leave you to find a specialist yourself, and a referral is worth asking for.
Insurance and paying
The single biggest cost difference is whether a practice is in network with your plan. In network means the practice has agreed rates with your insurer, so your share is set in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan covers only part of it, or none.
Call your insurer and confirm the practice is in network before the appointment, not after. Then ask the practice for a written estimate that lists the procedure codes, the total fee, what they expect the plan to cover and what you owe on the day.
Our listings come from public registry data. That registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information for any of these practices. None of the 47 in Pinehurst has a published website or published hours in the records, and none has been claimed by its owner. A claimed listing is how a practice adds that detail, which is why claimed listings are worth looking for.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general dentists nearest you and say clearly that you need to be seen today. Practices often hold slots for emergencies but will not offer them unless asked.
Some symptoms are not dental problems any more and need a hospital emergency room instead. Go straight there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop after a tooth comes out.
If nobody in Pinehurst can fit you in, you can search by distance at dentist directory and work outward through the nearby neighborhoods listed above.
