Raleigh Durham, NC, August 12, 2026 —
Raleigh, NC – Ebony McBean, a Raleigh resident, is now facing a total of five criminal charges in connection with allegations of practicing dentistry without a license.
In addition to the initial accusations of practicing dentistry without a license, McBean has been charged with obtaining property by false pretenses. The specifics of how the alleged false pretenses were committed or what property was obtained were not immediately available.
The total number of criminal charges against McBean now stands at five. Further details regarding the timeline of events, specific locations of alleged practice, or the names of individuals or entities involved in the property transactions were not provided.

The charge of obtaining property by false pretenses suggests that an individual or entity may have been misled into providing money or property under deceptive circumstances. The outcome of this case and any further legal proceedings are pending.
