Convenient Access from Blakeney
Blakeney residents can be at Beyond Smiles Dental in around 13 minutes, thanks to a quick hop on I-485 between Rea Rd and Johnston Rd. People searching for a dentist near Blakeney often want a brighter, straighter smile and a Saturday time slot, and we offer both. Our Charlotte address on Johnston Rd is easy to find, and Dr. Deeptha Surampudi leads every appointment there.
From the Village Green at Blakeney Shopping Center, where Rea Rd meets Ardrey Kell Rd, drive north on Rea Rd for about 2 miles. Merge onto I-485 heading west for roughly a mile and a half, then exit onto Johnston Rd (US 521) and go north for a little over 2 miles to 10106 Johnston Rd Ste C, Charlotte, NC 28210.
The trip covers about 6.7 miles. The general-purpose lanes on I-485 are free; the separate express lane that opened in February 2026 charges a toll, so stay out of it unless you plan to pay. Find us on Google Maps for the first visit. Patients also come from Piper Glen and Marvin.
Saturday Smiles for the Blakeney Crowd
Blakeney is a retail-anchored area of the City of Charlotte, in Mecklenburg County, built around the shopping center at Rea Rd and Ardrey Kell Rd. Harris Teeter, Marshalls and HomeGoods anchor the center, and apartments, a children's play area, a splash pad and the Village Green share the same blocks. Flat Branch Park and its nature preserve lie a short drive northeast off Tom Short Rd.
For anyone with long workweeks, weekends carry a heavy load. When weekdays are full, Saturday becomes the day for errands, workouts and appointments. Our Saturday hours run from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and weekdays open at 8:00 AM for anyone who would rather come in before work.
The same mix of homes also includes young families. Schools such as Polo Ridge Elementary and Community House Middle sit nearby, and children are welcome at our office for checkups and cleanings alongside their parents.
Confidence-Building Dental Care in Blakeney
A smile shows up in work meetings, video calls, dates and photos. Small flaws such as a chipped edge, a gap, mild crowding or yellowing can make people hold back. The good news is that most of these concerns can be addressed with conservative treatments that keep natural teeth intact.
Bonding is often the first step for a chip or small gap. Tooth-colored composite is shaped onto the tooth and polished to blend in, usually without removing healthy enamel. Whitening lifts stains from coffee and tea, and clear aligners move crowded or gapped teeth into a straighter line.
Planning the order helps the results look natural. Teeth are often straightened first, then whitened, and only then bonded or fitted with veneers so the color match is right. Dr. Surampudi uses digital smile design and the iTero® intraoral scanner to lay out the plan on screen, so you can see the direction before committing.
Cosmetic work rests on healthy teeth and gums. A cleaning and exam come first, and any cavities, gum inflammation or failing fillings are handled before whitening or bonding. That keeps new work from being undermined by problems underneath.
Habits decide how long the results last. Whitening fades faster with daily coffee, tea or red wine, so a straw for iced drinks and a rinse with water afterward help. Bonding can chip if it is used to open packages or bite fingernails. A night guard protects veneers and bonding for anyone who grinds, and regular cleanings polish away new surface stains before they set in.
Not every Blakeney patient comes in for cosmetic reasons, of course. The value of a routine visit is that it catches small cavities, gum irritation and worn fillings early, when they are quicker and less costly to fix. Overjet® AI software gives every set of x-rays a second review for signs of decay, with Dr. Surampudi making the final call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Beyond Smiles Dental from Blakeney, and how do I get there?
It is about 6.7 miles from Blakeney Shopping Center to our office, roughly a 13-minute drive. Go north on Rea Rd, take I-485 west for a short stretch, then exit north onto Johnston Rd. Reaching a dentist near Blakeney this way costs nothing if you stay in the free general-purpose lanes.
Is composite bonding a good fix for a small chipped tooth?
Yes, bonding is often a good fix for a small chip. Tooth-colored composite is shaped and polished onto the tooth to rebuild the missing edge, usually with little or no enamel removed. It can also close small gaps, and Dr. Surampudi matches the shade so the repair blends in.
Which bite and spacing problems can Invisalign correct?
Invisalign can treat crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites and crossbites for adults and teens. Dr. Surampudi starts with a consultation and a digital iTero scan, then builds a custom series of aligners for your teeth. Regular check-ins confirm the teeth are moving as planned, and the cost depends on the complexity of your case.
Can I book a cosmetic consultation on a Saturday?
Yes, cosmetic consultations are among the visits we offer on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. You can talk through whitening, bonding, veneers or aligners and see your scan on screen. Saturday openings depend on scheduling and the type of treatment, so mention that you want a Saturday time when you call.
My crown came off while eating. What now?
Keep the crown somewhere safe and call our office so we can see you quickly. Avoid chewing on that side, and keep the exposed tooth clean with gentle brushing. We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, and often the original crown can be checked and recemented if the tooth underneath is still healthy.
