Dr. Blalock

Dr. Blalock grew up on a beef cattle farm in Crossville, TN. The time he spent working on the farm taught Dr. Blalock valuable problem-solving skills and a good work ethic. After Dr. Blalock suffered a dental injury when a cow’s hoof contacted his teeth, his dentist repaired his smile and sparked a fascination for the art of dentistry. Because of that experience, Dr. Blalock realized his calling was to become a dentist. He loves that dental work gives him the ability to work creatively with his hands while interacting with patients and making a positive impact on their lives.


Dr. Blalock graduated Summa Cum Laude from Tennessee Tech University with an undergraduate degree in health science biology. He went on to graduate with honors from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry

Have Questions About Orthodontics?

Find Answers Here

Do braces hurt?

Some patients experience mild discomfort after the initial bonding appointment. When wires are adjusted, patients may also experience some tenderness or soreness. We recommend patients simply take over-the-counter Tylenol as needed or do warm salt-water rinses to minimize discomfort.

At what age should a child see an orthodontist?

The Advanced Orthodontics Team and the American Association of Orthodontics recommend children are seen by an orthodontist at age seven. When your child visits our office, we will take baseline records. We will monitor their growth and development to make sure teeth are coming in right and bones are forming correctly. There is never a charge for these visits.

How long will I have to wear retainers after treatment?

Retainers are really for life, you simply wear them less and less as time passes. We will make sure that you get the right type of retainer prescribed for your individual smile and let you know how often to wear them. Still have questions? Learn more about retainers after orthodontic treatment.
