These guys are the best!!!! If Dr Pinnex sees something cosmetically that he can improve quickly he just does it. My front teeth had little chips on the bottom and he took the time to smooth them out. Dr B does the same. I had a tooth fall out and it is a long process to replace it. He made me an Invisalign tray with a fake tooth so I would not feel insecure while waiting for my permanent replacement at no charge. The entire group are so thoughtful and loving. They have become more like family than just my dentist❤️ I highly recommend !!!! They care about every detail big or small. They truly want you to have a beautiful healthy smile.

Hands down, the most comfortable I've ever felt at a dentist office. I came in with lots of anxiety and fear.. knowing I have a lot of work that needs to be done. They immediately made me feel safe, comfortable, and did not shame me for how my teeth looked! We quickly came up with a plan and I left feeling super confident and excited to come back and get started! He even took my anxiety into consideration and reminded me to try and not get overwhelmed. To take things one step at a time and that we would eventually get to where i need to be! I highly recommend. Everyone in the office is super kind and friendly!

Comprehensive Care Close to Home Delivering the Dentistry You Need
We are proud to provide comprehensive dental care for families from Charlotte, Ballantyne, Gastonia, and beyond in one convenient location. Because our dentists have advanced training in many areas of dentistry, we can meet a wider range of dental needs. When you first visit Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney, you will undergo a thorough consultation and exam involving a dental checkup, periodontal assessment, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) evaluation, and bite analysis.

Visit Us at Our Sister Location Precision Dental Partners in Ballantyne, NC

Based in Ballantyne, NC, Precision Dental Partners answers the needs of patients instead of shareholders.
Our dentists are not interested in over-diagnosing dental problems to create volume.

Have been a patient for many years. Broke a crown on Wednesday afternoon. Thursday morning I was in the chair getting the repair done.
Can’t say enough good things about advanced dentistry. It is truly personal dentistry.

As always, Dr. Betancourt did a wonderful job of taking care of a painful dental problem, and was willing to do the whole procedure while I was there at the first visit for this problem. Also, he was very kind as always, too.
