Thirty-four listings are registered under general dentistry, eight under oral and maxillofacial surgery, six under pediatric dentistry and one under orthodontics. Practices can hold more than one registration, so those numbers add to more than 48. N Wendover Rd accounts for 12 listings across two recorded spellings.
What is listed in Grier Heights
Two roads hold almost everything. Billingsley Rd appears with 31 listings, Billingsley Road with three and Billingsley Rd. with two, all the same street, while N Wendover Rd has 10 and N. Wendover Rd two. Addresses are stored exactly as each practice filed them, which is why the counts need adding up before they make sense.
Eight oral and maxillofacial surgery listings is a lot for 48 practices, and six pediatric dentistry listings gives families a genuine choice. Orthodontics has a single listing, and three other specialties have none at all.
Thirty-five listings are registered as individual practitioners and 13 as organizations. Thirty-six of the 48 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2005, so three quarters have held their address for more than fifteen years, which is one of the stronger stability signals in the directory.

- Billingsley Rd: 36 listings across three recorded spellings

- 36 registered before 2010, the oldest in 2005
How to choose between them
With 34 general practices on essentially two roads, the choice is not about travel. Call three and compare. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, which plans they are in network with, what a first exam and X-rays cost if the plan does not apply, and how far ahead they are booking.
Ask who you will see each visit and how long they have been at that address. Given how many listings here predate 2010, you have a good chance of finding a practice you can stay with for years, which is worth more than a shorter drive.
For children, six pediatric listings means you can compare rather than take the only option. Ask each how they handle a first appointment for a nervous child, because the answers differ more than the listings do.
If you need something Grier Heights does not have
Three specialties are missing, and all three are nearest elsewhere in Charlotte about 0.7 miles away. Endodontics has 42 listings at that distance, periodontics 31 and prosthodontics 18. For a neighborhood with gaps, that is about as convenient as it gets: root canal, gum and restorative specialists are all within a mile.
Nearby neighborhoods add general choice too. Cotswold has 41 listings 1.1 miles away, Crescent Heights 34 at 1.6 miles, Eastover 33 at 1.0 miles and Pharr Acres 25 at just 0.3 miles. Echo Hills has 12 at 1.0 miles and Rosemont eight at 1.2 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means a practice has agreed set fees with your insurer, so your share of the bill is smaller and predictable. Out of network reflects pricing rather than quality, and it can mean paying more or paying up front and claiming back. Check with the insurer as well as the practice, because network membership changes without notice.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, and especially for surgical work, ask for a written estimate that itemizes each procedure with the expected plan payment and your share. Our listings are built from registry data that holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, and none of the 48 listings here has been claimed. Claiming is how a practice adds those details to its page.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, phone the general practices on Billingsley Rd and N Wendover Rd and ask specifically for a same day emergency slot. If an extraction turns out to be needed, eight oral surgery listings sit on the same two roads.
Go to an emergency room instead of a dentist if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
When nothing here has an opening, dentist directory lets you search by distance rather than by neighborhood, which reaches Pharr Acres, Eastover and Cotswold within about a mile.
