Convenient Access from Deep River
Ball fields and school traffic shape life around Skeet Club Road in north High Point, and the trip from there to Jonathan Hunt DDS takes about 13 minutes. Anyone searching for a dentist near Deep River will find one dentist, Dr. Jonathan Hunt, handling cleanings, chipped teeth, crowns and implants in a single office. When a game or a backyard tumble ends with a broken tooth, the team offers same-day appointments whenever possible.
Starting at the Deep River Recreation Center & Park at 1529 Skeet Club Road, head east on Skeet Club Road for roughly three-quarters of a mile and turn right onto Eastchester Drive (US 70/NC 68). Follow Eastchester southwest a little over 3 miles, then bear onto North Centennial Street and stay with it for about 2 miles. A right on East English Road and another onto North Lindsay Street finish the route. Altogether it is about 7 miles, and rush hour on Eastchester can add a few minutes.
You will find the office at 404 Lindsay St B, between Gatewood Avenue and Westwood Avenue, on a block the practice describes as across from Truist Point Stadium. High Point Central High School's Gothic building on Ferndale Boulevard sits just around the corner. Tap our Google Maps listing for turn-by-turn directions.

Built for Deep River's Busy, Active Households
For many families, the Deep River Recreation Center & Park is a regular stop. The City of High Point runs a gym, basketball and tennis courts, regulation baseball and softball fields, a playground and a picnic shelter there, plus walking and running loops around the grounds. Southwest Elementary and Southwest Guilford Middle sit just north on Southwest School Road. Kids and adults here spend plenty of afternoons in motion.
Active lives bring the occasional dental surprise. A line drive, an elbow under the basket or a slip on the playground can crack enamel or loosen a tooth. Jonathan Hunt DDS handles those moments with a focused exam, x-rays and a clear plan for the repair. Because Dr. Hunt places implants and performs extractions and bone grafting himself, a tooth that can't be saved can often be replaced without leaving the practice.
The neighborhood lies in Guilford County, inside High Point city limits, and the name also belongs to the surrounding census township. The river itself forms in High Point and flows southeast past Randleman before joining the Haw to create the Cape Fear River. Around Skeet Club Road and Penny Road, though, Deep River mostly means suburban streets, school drop-offs and game schedules.
What Deep River Athletes and Parents Should Know About Tooth Injuries
Speed matters when a permanent tooth is knocked out. Pick it up by the crown rather than the root, rinse it briefly if it is dirty, and either set it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Then call the office right away. Baby teeth are different and should not be pushed back in.
Chips and cracks happen far more often than full knockouts. A small chip on a front tooth can often be rebuilt with bonding, which can often be completed in a single visit. A crack that reaches the nerve may need root canal treatment, and a badly broken tooth can be covered with a CEREC same-day crown milled right in the office. When a tooth is beyond saving, a dental implant is the long-term replacement Dr. Hunt places himself.
Not every sports injury shows up right away. A tooth that darkens weeks after a hit, or one that aches when you bite, deserves an exam even if the season has ended. New patients without insurance can book the $49 emergency exam and x-ray, which covers a focused exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations. A properly fitted mouthguard during contact sports remains the simplest way to avoid the trip altogether.
Treatment Options From a Dentist Near Deep River
Emergency Dentistry
Knocked-out, cracked or aching teeth get prompt attention, with same-day appointments whenever possible. Parents on the north side of town can call first thing and describe the injury so the team can plan the visit.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding repairs chipped edges with tooth-colored material, and whitening brightens teeth dulled by years of sports drinks and coffee. Both can often be completed in a single visit.
Root Canal Treatment
A hard hit can injure the nerve inside a tooth, sometimes weeks before it hurts. Root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue and typically takes one visit, depending on the complexity of the case.
Dental Implants
When a tooth is lost for good, an implant replaces the root and the crown. CBCT 3D imaging guides the planning, and the types of dental implants page explains the options.
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fillings and mouthguard advice keep young athletes and their parents in good shape between seasons. Regular checkups also catch small cracks before they turn into emergencies.

Volunteer dental work first sparked Dr. Jonathan Hunt's passion for the profession, and he still finds the most fulfillment in restoring confidence after a tooth is damaged or lost. He began his dental career in 2018 and purchased his own practice in December 2019. Away from the office he cheers on the Tar Heels, so game-day stories rarely fall on deaf ears.
Insurance & Financing
Cash, personal checks and most major credit cards are all accepted. For bigger repairs after an injury, Cherry offers monthly payments with no hard credit check for approval, and Proceed Finance provides loan options. In-network plans include Ameritas, Delta Dental Premier and United Healthcare, among several others.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Jonathan Hunt DDS from Deep River, and how do I get there?
The drive is about 7 miles and 13 minutes from the Deep River Recreation Center & Park. Follow Skeet Club Road east to Eastchester Drive (US 70/NC 68), then take North Centennial Street, East English Road and North Lindsay Street. That makes Jonathan Hunt DDS a practical dentist near Deep River for checkups and urgent care alike.
What should I do in the first hour after a tooth gets knocked out?
Get the tooth back into its socket or into milk as fast as possible. Hold it by the crown, rinse it briefly without scrubbing, and gently reinsert it if you can. Then call the office immediately, since a permanent tooth has its best chance of reattaching when it is treated quickly. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.
Should my child wear a mouthguard for baseball or basketball?
Yes, a mouthguard is a smart idea for any sport with balls, sticks, elbows or falls. It cushions the teeth and lips against blows that can chip or knock out a tooth. Dr. Hunt can talk through mouthguard options at your child's next checkup, especially if braces or aligners are part of the picture.
Can a tooth that turned gray after an injury be treated?
Yes, in most cases. A tooth that darkens after a hit often has an injured nerve, and root canal treatment can remove the damaged tissue and keep the tooth. Afterward, whitening, bonding or a CEREC crown can restore its color. An exam with x-rays shows what is happening inside the tooth before anything is decided.
Will I be seen the same day if I have a dental emergency?
The practice offers same-day appointments whenever possible. Call as early as you can, since the first appointments begin at 8:00 AM Monday through Thursday and Thursday hours end at 2:00 PM. Describing the injury or pain on the phone helps the team understand how urgent it is and plan your visit.
