An Active Lakeside Community with a Dental Office Close By
Oak Hollow is the area around the 800-acre Oak Hollow Lake, built as a primary water supply for the City of High Point and opened for public recreation in 1972. The city's Pete Dye-designed golf course opened that same year. Today the area is a hub for outdoor life on the north side of town, in Guilford County.
The lakeshore keeps people moving. The Oak Hollow Tennis Center on North Centennial Street has lighted clay and hard courts plus indoor courts, the marina offers a boat launch and fishing pier, and the year-round campground welcomes RV and tent campers. Oak Hollow Festival Park adds picnic shelters and a stage beside the dam.
Active lives come with the occasional mishap. A racquet to the mouth, a slip on a dock or a fall from a bike can chip or crack a tooth in a second. When it happens, a short drive to a familiar office makes a stressful moment easier.
Lake life also means long, warm days outdoors. Dry mouth from hours in the sun lowers the saliva that normally rinses teeth, which raises the risk of decay along the gumline. Keeping water handy on the boat or the course is a small habit that protects your smile.
Outside the office, Dr. Hunt enjoys a round of golf.
Handling Dental Injuries and Wear for Oak Hollow Residents
Most sports injuries to the teeth fall into a few groups: small chips, larger fractures and teeth knocked loose or out. Small chips are often cosmetic and can usually be smoothed or bonded. Deeper breaks can expose the inner layers of the tooth and need prompt attention to protect the nerve.
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 emergency exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations. Calling first lets the team prepare before you arrive.
When a tooth cannot be saved, an implant is often the long-term replacement. Dr. Hunt places implants in the office and performs bone grafting when a site needs more support. CBCT cone beam 3D imaging helps him plan the placement, and the guide to types of dental implants explains the options.
Prevention is the easier path. Anyone playing ball or contact sports benefits from wearing a mouthguard, since a broken tooth is far simpler to prevent than to repair. Sports drinks and energy gels also bathe teeth in sugar and acid during long matches or rounds, so sipping water between sets helps.
Not every problem comes from an accident. Years of clenching or grinding can wear teeth down, and old fillings eventually give out. Regular cleanings and exams keep track of those slower changes, with appointments from 8:00 AM Monday through Thursday.
Treatment Options from Your Dentist Near Oak Hollow
Emergency Dentistry
Broken teeth, sudden pain and swelling are seen with same-day appointments whenever possible. The drive from the lake takes about 8 minutes. Bring any broken piece of tooth with you.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding repairs small chips with tooth-colored material, and whitening lifts stains. Both can often be completed in a single visit. Oak Hollow patients can fix a chipped front tooth without a long treatment plan.
Same-Day Crowns
A cracked tooth often needs full coverage. With CEREC, Dr. Hunt designs, mills and places a permanent ceramic crown in the office, often in about one to two hours. There is no temporary crown to protect for weeks.
Root Canal Treatment
A break that reaches the nerve may call for a root canal. Treatment typically takes one visit, depending on the complexity of the case. Nitrous oxide is available for comfort.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a lost tooth with a post and crown that function like a natural tooth. Dr. Hunt places implants and handles bone grafting in the same office. New patients can book a complimentary implant consultation.
Not sure which treatment a damaged tooth needs? An exam with x-rays answers that quickly, and Dr. Hunt explains the options and costs before starting anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Jonathan Hunt DDS from Oak Hollow, and how do I get there?
It is 4.3 miles from Oak Hollow Festival Park, about 8 minutes by car. Take Eastchester Drive south-west, then North Centennial Street, East English Road and North Lindsay Street to the office. For anyone who needs a dentist near Oak Hollow in a hurry, the route avoids the interstate and stays on city streets.
What should I do if I chip a front tooth?
Call the office and save any piece of tooth you can find. A small chip can often be repaired with bonding, which can usually be done in a single visit. A larger break may need a crown, and CEREC lets Dr. Hunt place one in the office. Avoid chewing on that side until the tooth is checked.
Are sports drinks bad for my teeth?
They can be when you sip them for hours. Most sports drinks combine sugar and acid, and slow sipping during a long match or round keeps teeth bathed in both. Water is the better choice for most casual exercise, and if you do have a sports drink, finish it in one sitting and rinse with water afterward. Regular checkups show whether enamel is starting to wear.
What should I do if a crown or filling falls out?
Call the office and keep the crown if you still have it. A lost crown or filling counts as a dental emergency, and same-day appointments are offered whenever possible. Until you are seen, chew on the other side and keep the area clean. Never use household glue to reattach a crown, since a poor fit can trap decay or crack the tooth.
Why are my teeth sensitive to cold?
Cold sensitivity usually means the inner layer of a tooth is exposed. Worn enamel, gum recession, a cracked tooth or a leaking filling can all cause it. Brief twinges are common, but pain that lingers after the cold is gone deserves an exam, since it can point to a problem with the nerve. Dr. Hunt can find the cause and recommend the right fix.
