Convenient Access from Oakview
Busy Oakview parents who need a dentist near Oakview can reach Jonathan Hunt DDS in about 7 minutes, driving south toward downtown High Point. Dr. Jonathan Hunt sees patients of all ages, so one visit can cover a parent's cleaning and a child's checkup. Weekday hours start at 8:00 AM, and the office stays open until 4:30 PM Monday through Wednesday.
Starting from Oakview Recreation Center & Park at 503 James Road, drive south on James Road and turn left onto North University Parkway. A right on Johnson Street carries you south-west for most of the trip. Johnson then connects to East Lexington Avenue, which leads a block west to North Main Street.
From there, North Main runs south to West Parkway Avenue and Hillcrest Drive, which feed onto Lindsay Street. The whole run covers 3 miles and usually takes about 7 minutes. Our address is 404 Lindsay St B, High Point, NC 27262, between Westwood Avenue and Gatewood Avenue, across from Truist Point Stadium. Save the location in Google Maps before your first visit.
Families a little further south in Emerywood and north-east around Oak Hollow follow many of the same streets downtown.
Family Dental Care That Fits Oakview's School-Day Rhythm
Oakview sits on the north side of High Point in Guilford County. The NCpedia gazetteer describes it as a community adjacent to High Point and notes that part of the city was once part of the Oakview community. Today it is very much a city neighborhood, with Oak View Elementary on Oakview Road serving children from pre-K through fifth grade.
For families with children at Oak View, the school day sets the schedule. Oak View's day ends at 2:10 PM, while our office keeps seeing patients until 4:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. That gap is long enough to pick up a child, make the 7-minute drive and settle into the chair without pulling anyone out of class.
Parents who are new to the practice often start with their own visit. New patients without insurance and without periodontal (gum) disease can book the $159 cleaning, exam and x-ray, which includes a full cleaning, an oral health exam and all standard x-rays. It is a straightforward way to meet Dr. Hunt before bringing the kids in.
The neighborhood's anchor is the city's Oakview Recreation Center & Park, with a gym, a ballfield, tennis courts, a playground and a one-mile wellness walking route. Kids who spend afternoons on the courts and fields will occasionally take a ball or an elbow to the mouth. When that happens, it helps to know exactly where to go. Hedgecock Park on West Parris Avenue, just south-west of the neighborhood, adds a dog park and a youth baseball field to the mix.
What Oakview Parents Should Know About Their Family's Teeth
Children's teeth change quickly. Baby teeth hold space for the permanent ones, and cavities in them still deserve attention because an infected baby tooth can hurt as much as an adult one. Routine cleanings and exams let Dr. Hunt spot trouble while it is small and easy to fix.
Good habits at home do most of the work between visits. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing once a day and keeping sugary drinks to mealtimes all lower the odds of a cavity. Younger children usually need an adult to finish their brushing until their own technique catches up.
Parents tend to put their own care last, and that is how small problems turn into toothaches. Booking a parent's cleaning on the same afternoon as a child's checkup is one simple way to stay on schedule. The front desk can line the appointments up so the family makes one trip instead of two.
Accidents are part of growing up. A chipped or loosened tooth should be seen promptly, and the practice offers same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. New patients without insurance can use the $49 emergency exam and x-ray, which includes a focused exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations.
As kids reach their teen years, crowded or crooked teeth often become a topic at home. CandidPro clear aligners are one option for straightening teeth without brackets, and the guide Am I a Candidate for Clear Aligners? walks through who tends to be a good fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Jonathan Hunt DDS from Oakview, and how do I get there?
From the Oakview Recreation Center, the office is 3 miles away, about a 7-minute drive. The route follows North University Parkway and Johnson Street south, then North Main Street and Lindsay Street into the north edge of downtown. Parents who want a dentist near Oakview can be there and back within a school afternoon.
Do you see kids as well as their parents?
Yes. The general dentistry offered here serves patients of all ages, so parents and children can see the same dentist. That makes it easy to book family members together and keep everyone's records in one place. The front desk can line up siblings' visits back to back on the same afternoon.
Can my child be seen after school?
Yes, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The office is open until 4:30 PM those days, which leaves room for an appointment after a typical elementary school dismissal. On Thursday the office closes at 2:00 PM, so an early slot works better that day. The front desk can suggest the best open slot for your week.
How much is an emergency exam if we don't have insurance?
New patients without insurance pay $49 for an emergency exam and x-ray. That covers a focused emergency exam, any x-rays needed and Dr. Hunt's treatment recommendations. You will know what is wrong and what it will take to fix before any treatment begins, so you can decide on next steps with the facts in hand.
How many visits does a root canal take?
Usually one. A root canal at this office typically takes a single visit, depending on the complexity of the case. Local anesthesia numbs the tooth, and nitrous oxide is available for patients who want extra help relaxing. Saving the natural tooth is usually the goal of the treatment.
