This guide is built only from the registry data behind those listings, which records addresses, ZIP codes, provider type and registration dates. It has no reviews in it. What it can do is tell you what is actually available within a few streets and what is not.
What is listed in North Hills
All 45 listings sit in one ZIP code, 27609, and they concentrate on four roads. Six Forks Rd has 19. Computer Dr has 10, Barrett Dr has 7 once you include the entry filed as Barrett Drive, and Haworth Dr has 5. Those four account for 41 of the 45.
Twenty five listings are registered to individual practitioners and 20 to organizations. Some dentists appear in both forms, as with Andrew P Wells, DDS and Andrew P Wells DDS PA, and again with Artemis C Scandalios, so the listing count runs slightly ahead of the number of separate offices.
Thirty one of the 45 were registered before 2010, and the oldest goes back to 2006. That is close to 70 percent holding the same registration at the same address for fifteen years or more.

How to choose between them
For families the useful figures are 5 orthodontic listings and 3 pediatric. Both of those involve repeat visits over years, so having several options nearby rather than one is worth something, and it lets you compare treatment plans instead of accepting the only one available.
For routine care there are 33 general dentistry listings inside one ZIP code. Choose on how the practice works: whether you see the same dentist each visit, how far ahead cleanings are booked, and whether they distinguish urgent treatment from work that can wait.
Endodontics has a single listing, so a root canal specialist may involve a wait or a trip. None of the 45 have a website or opening hours recorded in the registry, so calling is how you confirm availability, referral requirements and network status.
If you need something North Hills does not have
Two specialties have no listing here. Periodontics and prosthodontics both point elsewhere in Raleigh, about 1.4 miles away, where 20 periodontic and 16 prosthodontic practices are listed. Those are large pools at a very short distance, so neither gap is much of a problem in practice.
For general care the nearby neighborhoods add moderate capacity. Millbrook has 17 practices at 1.9 miles, Crabtree Valley has 14 at 2.4 and Oberlin has 13 at 2.9. Five Points has 8 at 2.1 miles, Mini City 7 at 3.1 and New Hope 4 at 3.1.
Insurance and paying
Network status is the biggest variable in the bill. In network means the practice has agreed rates with your plan, so your share comes off a discounted fee. Out of network means no agreement, and you may owe the difference between the fee charged and the amount your plan allows.
For orthodontics, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes covering the whole course of treatment rather than the first appointment, and have your plan pre authorize it before anything begins.
These listings are built from a federal provider registry that holds names, addresses, credentials and specialty codes. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks. That is why claimed listings matter, since claiming is how a practice adds those details itself. None of the 45 in North Hills have been claimed yet.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, or pain that is getting worse, call the general dentistry listings on Six Forks Rd and Computer Dr and ask directly for same day care. With no hours published anywhere here, phoning is the only way to find out who has room today.
Some symptoms need an emergency room instead of a dentist. Go to the ER 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.
If nothing local can see you, search outward by distance at dentist directory.

No, periodontics has no listing in the neighborhood. The nearest group is elsewhere in Raleigh, about 1.4 miles away, where 20 practices are listed. Prosthodontics is the other gap, with 16 listings at the same distance. Both are short trips given the size of those pools.
Which streets have the most North Hills dentists?
Four roads hold 41 of the 45 listings. Six Forks Rd has 19, Computer Dr has 10, Barrett Dr has 7 once the entry filed as Barrett Drive is included, and Haworth Dr has 5. Since they are all close together, compare practices on how they run rather than on location.
