Only 21 of those listings are general dentistry, which makes this a more specialist area than most. This guide covers what the registry records, how to choose, where the two missing specialties are, and what to check on cost and urgent care.
What is listed in Blakeney
Twenty one of the 37 listings are general dentistry. The specialist side covers 7 orthodontics, 6 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 3 endodontics, 1 prosthodontics and 1 dental anesthesiology, along with 1 dental clinic. Practices can hold more than one registration, so these numbers describe available care rather than counting separate offices.
Blakeney Professional Dr carries 11 listings, with 2 more recorded as Blakeney Professional Drive. Ardrey Kell Rd has 7 plus 2 under a variant spelling, and Blakeney Centre Dr has 5. Everything sits inside one ZIP code, so comparing practices in person is straightforward.
Twenty three of the listings are registered to individual practitioners and 14 to organizations. Sixteen of the 37 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration in the neighborhood dates to 2006, so this is a newer set of listings than many areas.
- 37 practices, 21 of them general dentistry

- 11 listings on Blakeney Professional Dr
- 23 individual practitioners, 14 organizations
- 16 registered before 2010
Choosing a practice
For routine care you are comparing 21 general practices in a compact area. Ask how far ahead appointments book, whether the same dentist sees you each visit, and how the practice handles someone calling in pain. Ask too what they do in house, since that decides how often you will be sent elsewhere.
The specialist mix here is strong for a neighborhood of this size. Seven orthodontics listings means you can compare more than one opinion before starting braces or aligners, and six oral surgery listings covers wisdom teeth and difficult extractions locally. A dental anesthesiology listing suggests sedation may be available somewhere here, which is worth asking about directly if that matters to you.
Two gaps, and a longer drive than usual
Pediatric dentistry and periodontics have no listing in Blakeney. The nearest pediatric practices are in Waxhaw, about 4.7 miles away, where 5 are recorded. The nearest periodontics practices are in Matthews, about 7.3 miles away, where 3 are recorded. Those are longer trips than in most neighborhoods, so worth planning for.
Blakeney is also 10.5 miles from the center of Charlotte, so the nearby areas matter more than usual. Carmel is 4.5 miles away with 52 listed practices, Providence is 4.9 miles away with 41 and SouthPark has 64 at 8.1 miles. Ballantyne has 15 at 3.0 miles, and Bridgehampton Club and The Traditions at Covington each have 5, at 2.4 and 2.9 miles.
Paying for treatment
The registry holds addresses and registrations, not money. There are no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information in it, and none of the 37 Blakeney practices has claimed its listing or published a website or hours. So this page is a reliable record of who is registered where and no guide at all to cost. Claimed listings are what fill that in.
Ask on the phone whether the practice is in network for your exact plan rather than for the insurer generally, since one company usually runs several networks at different rates. Ask for a written estimate before treatment, with procedure codes, the fee, the expected plan payment and your share. For orthodontics, ask how payments are staged across the length of treatment.
- Confirm the network for your specific plan
- Ask for a written estimate before treatment
- Ask how orthodontic payments are staged
- Ask whether sedation is billed separately
If you need care today
For sudden pain, call early and ask for an emergency appointment rather than the next routine slot. With 37 practices in one ZIP code and 15 more listed 3.0 miles away in Ballantyne, several calls should find something. To search by distance from where you are rather than by neighborhood, use dentist directory.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dental office. Go straight there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop after an extraction. For a knocked out adult tooth, hold it by the crown, keep it in milk or saliva, and try to be seen within the hour.
