Convenient Access from Winston-Salem
The drive from southeast Winston-Salem to Jonathan Hunt DDS takes about 27 minutes, most of it on interstate. That is a real trip, so it helps to know what is at the end of it: a single dentist whose High Point office handles smile makeovers, dental implants and crowns made in a single visit. If you have been searching for a dentist in Winston-Salem, NC, and want that kind of continuity, the office opens at 8:00 AM Monday through Thursday.
Start at the Southside Branch Library on Buchanan Street, which serves the southeastern part of the city. Take Buchanan Street to Silas Creek Parkway for a moment, then merge onto I-40 east. After about 3 miles, leave at Exit 196 on the ramp signed for NC 192 East and High Point, which feeds onto I-74.
Ride I-74 for close to 7 miles, then exit onto North Main Street and head south into High Point. West Parkway Avenue and Hillcrest Drive bring you to Lindsay Street and the office at 404 Lindsay St B, High Point, NC 27262. The full route is about 18 miles without tolls; from City Hall on North Main Street, it is closer to 19.5 miles and 28 minutes.
Look for Truist Point Stadium across the street, between Gatewood Avenue and Westwood Avenue. Our listing on Google Maps has the exact pin. Closer to High Point, Kernersville and Wallburg each have their own page with a shorter drive.
What Makes the Trip from Winston-Salem Worthwhile
Winston-Salem took its current form in 1913, when the Moravian town of Salem, begun in 1766, joined Winston, the Forsyth County seat. Today it is home to about 250,000 people and ranks fifth among North Carolina's cities. Old Salem still preserves the Moravian settlement as a living-history museum, and Winston-Salem State University has taught students since 1892.
In a city that size patients have many choices, so the real question is what a smaller practice adds. Here, it is the same doctor at every appointment, from the first exam to the final crown. Patients planning complex work, like several implants or a full smile makeover, often value one person seeing the whole case through.
Fewer return trips matter too when you are driving from Forsyth into Guilford. CEREC designs, mills and places a permanent ceramic crown in the office, often in about one to two hours, with no temporary and no second appointment. Digital impressions taken with the Primescan scanner skip the gooey trays many adults remember.
Restoring Confidence for Winston-Salem Smiles
Dr. Hunt says much of his fulfillment comes from restoring confidence, whether that means improving how a smile looks or replacing teeth that are gone. Smile makeovers combine cosmetic treatments around your goals, and bonding and whitening can often be completed in a single visit. For missing teeth, he places dental implants himself after mapping the bone with CBCT cone beam 3D imaging.
New patients considering implants can schedule a complimentary dental implant consultation to see the plan before they commit. Once an implant is in place, good daily care keeps it healthy, and our guide to implant maintenance for long-lasting results covers the routine.
Anxiety keeps some adults away from the dentist for years, which turns small problems into bigger ones. Oral conscious sedation, a pill taken before the visit, helps you feel calm while staying awake and responsive. Nitrous oxide is offered for root canals and extractions, and local anesthesia keeps treatment comfortable.
For days off, the 7-mile loop trail at Salem Lake on the east side links to the Salem Creek Greenway, with a marina and fishing pier along the way.
Treatment Options for Anyone Seeking a Dentist in Winston-Salem, NC
Smile Makeovers
A makeover pulls several treatments into one plan built around what you want to change. It suits Winston-Salem adults ready to fix stained, chipped or uneven teeth together rather than one at a time.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth from the root up. Dr. Hunt handles placement, extractions and any bone grafting in this office.
Same-Day Crowns
CEREC lets you leave with a permanent ceramic crown in one appointment. One trip down I-74 instead of two is a meaningful saving from across the county line.
Oral Conscious Sedation
For longer visits or anxious patients, a pill taken ahead of time brings calm without putting you to sleep. Plan on a driver for the ride back.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal clears infection and saves the natural tooth. It typically takes one visit, depending on the complexity of the case.
Meet Dr. Jonathan Hunt
In December 2019, Dr. Jonathan Hunt purchased his own practice so he could build lasting relationships with patients and the community. The office now runs CBCT imaging, a Primescan scanner and a SprintRay 3D printer, so more of each treatment stays under one roof. That approach matters most to patients who travel from across the Triad.
Insurance & Financing
Coverage through Delta Dental Premier, Humana or Lincoln Financial is accepted in network, and several other carriers are too. The team files claims for out-of-network plans on your behalf. For bigger projects, Cherry offers monthly payments without a hard credit check, and Proceed Finance provides loan options.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Jonathan Hunt DDS from Winston-Salem, and how do I get there?
From the Southside Branch Library, the office is about 18 miles and roughly 27 minutes away. You follow I-40 east to Exit 196, continue on I-74 toward High Point and exit onto North Main Street. Anyone choosing a dentist in Winston-Salem, NC, should add a minute or two when starting from City Hall downtown.
Will I see the same dentist at every visit?
Yes. Dr. Jonathan Hunt is the practice's only dentist, so he performs every exam and plans every treatment himself. He also reviews your teeth himself at each checkup. For Winston-Salem patients planning implants or a smile makeover, that continuity means one person knows the whole case from start to finish.
Do you use digital impressions instead of putty molds?
Yes. The office takes digital impressions with the Primescan intraoral scanner, which captures your teeth on screen instead of using trays of impression material. It sits alongside CEREC, which designs, mills and places many crowns in about one to two hours. For most patients, that means no goopy trays and fewer reasons to come back.
How much extra time should I allow for I-40 at rush hour?
Build in a cushion, because I-40 is often congested at rush hour and can stretch the usual 27-minute drive. Patients from Winston-Salem heading to an 8:00 AM appointment should leave by about 7:20 AM. That gives you time to check in without rushing, and you will not feel hurried once you arrive.
How do I keep a dental implant healthy for years?
Care for it much like a natural tooth. Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth daily and keep regular checkups, so Dr. Hunt can examine the implant and the gum tissue around it. Healthy gums help an implant last, and routine cleanings remove buildup before it causes inflammation around the post.
