Dr. Tang Blanton grew up in Topanga Canyon, CA, and earned his B.S. in Biochemistry from UCLA before completing dental hygiene training in 2017. That same year, he and his wife, Katy, moved to North Carolina, where he worked as a hygienist before earning his DDS at UNC-Chapel Hill. Inspired by his father, he values building lasting patient relationships and helping people feel confident in their smiles.
Dr. Blanton has a strong background in operative dentistry, prosthodontics, and periodontics, with additional training in pediatric emergencies and crown lengthening. His experience as a hygienist gives him a unique perspective on the importance of periodontal health. Patients appreciate his ability to explain complex dental concepts clearly, making them feel comfortable and informed.
Outside the office, he enjoys cooking, board games, cocktails, and time with Katy and their two cats, Flash and Pan. Passionate about community service, Dr. Blanton is always learning and striving to provide the best care possible.
