Dr. Blake Westra, DMD

Just past the intersection of 18th and Jackson, Dr. Blake Westra, DMD sits at 903 18th St in Charleston, IL. This dental practice centers routines like six-month cleanings, cavity fillings, and teeth whitening on a long list of services. Preventative care—pediatric exams, fluoride treatments, sealants—figures prominently in the familiar rhythm here. You might also stop by for a root canal consultation or a night guard if grinding keeps you up.

Around the block, the small parking lot hosts a steady stream of patients who appreciate predictable availability. Replacing a lost crown, addressing emergent tooth pain, or planning an implant takes an appointment, but can usually be arranged sooner rather than later. They also take referrals when specialists beyond general dentistry are called for.

Near the east edge of town where 18th Street narrows to two lanes, the address is easy to miss if you rely only on the main drag. Once you pass the second stop sign after Mound Avenue, look for the subtle blue building sign on the right side of the road. Patients who exit off of US-150 often find themselves driving east for exactly two minutes before spotting the brick façade.

In the shadow of the old community hospital, (217) 348-7770 connects directly to the front desk for quick scheduling. They’ll confirm insurance, outline costs, and help route you to the nearest imaging center should the need arise.
