Convenient Access from Thomasville
Families comparing options for a dentist in Thomasville, NC often find that Jonathan Hunt DDS is only about 16 minutes up the road in High Point. The office is a one-dentist practice where Dr. Jonathan Hunt cares for children, working adults and grandparents, from routine cleanings to implants and crowns made in the office. That range suits a city with plenty of young families and older adults.
Start at Thomasville City Hall, 10 Salem Street, and take Trade Street briefly to West Main Street, heading east through downtown. National Highway carries you northeast for about a mile and a half to the US 29 freeway, which you follow for roughly 2.6 miles. Exit onto West Green Drive into High Point, turn onto West Russell Avenue, and then go north on South Lindsay Street through downtown. The full drive covers a little over 8 miles.
The practice is at 404 Lindsay St B, on the stretch between Gatewood Avenue and Westwood Avenue that the office describes as across from Truist Point Stadium. Pull up Jonathan Hunt DDS on Google Maps before you leave so the route is ready on your phone. Patients farther east may prefer our Trinity or Archdale pages, which describe those drives.
Why Thomasville Households Make the Short Trip North
Thomasville is a full-range family city of about 27,000 people. Roughly a quarter of residents are under 18, and about one in six are 65 or older, so a single household may need a child's first filling and a grandparent's crown in the same season. Seeing one dentist for everyone keeps the history, x-rays and treatment plans in one place. It also means one familiar face for nervous kids and cautious adults alike.
The city's story runs on rails and furniture. John Warwick Thomas opened the first store in 1852 at what is now West Main and Salem streets, the North Carolina Railroad arrived in 1855, and the town was incorporated in January 1857. The board-and-batten Railroad Passenger Depot, built in 1870 and 1871, is one of the oldest frame depots left in the state. Chair making gave the city its identity, and the 30-foot concrete chair downtown has stood since 1951.
Thomasville sits mostly in Davidson County, with portions reaching into Randolph County. The railroad still divides the city north and south, and Interstate 85 and US 29 tie it to the rest of the Triad. Because the freeway runs straight to Green Drive, the trip into High Point stays simple even for first-time visitors.
Replacing and Rebuilding Teeth for Thomasville Patients
Missing teeth are one of the most common concerns among adults past middle age. A gap does more than change a smile; neighboring teeth can drift, the opposite tooth can over-erupt, and chewing shifts to one side. Jonathan Hunt DDS offers several ways to fill that space, and Dr. Hunt places dental implants, performs extractions and handles bone grafting in the office. Patients do not have to coordinate care across several offices.
Planning starts with good images. CBCT cone beam 3D imaging shows bone height and width, nerve position and any infection before an implant is placed. New patients can begin with a complimentary dental implant consultation to learn whether an implant, a bridge or another option suits their mouth and budget. The guide to implant surgery walks through the appointment step by step.
Children and teens in Thomasville need steady routine care as well. Cleanings and exams catch problems while they are small, and a quick checkup before the school year starts can save a painful surprise in October. Parents who come in with their kids often find it easier to keep up with their own visits too.
Services for Patients Seeking a Dentist in Thomasville, NC
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, x-rays, fillings and oral cancer screenings for every age in the family. Thomasville grandparents and grandchildren can follow the same simple routine with one dentist.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces both the root and the visible tooth, so it does not lean on neighboring teeth. Dr. Hunt plans each case with CBCT 3D imaging and places the implant himself.
Dental Bridges
For Thomasville adults whose teeth beside a gap already need crowns, a fixed bridge can solve two problems at once. Some bridges are produced right here on the office's SprintRay 3D printer rather than sent away.
Same-Day Crowns
CEREC designs, mills and places a permanent ceramic crown at one appointment, often in about one to two hours. For a Thomasville patient, that means one trip up US 29 instead of two.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged to keep, Dr. Hunt removes it in the office, with nitrous oxide listed among the comfort options. If an implant is the next step, bone grafting can be handled here too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Jonathan Hunt DDS from Thomasville, and how do I get there?
Plan on roughly 16 minutes for the 8-mile trip from Thomasville City Hall. Take National Highway to the US 29 freeway, then West Green Drive, West Russell Avenue and South Lindsay Street to the office. For anyone weighing a dentist in Thomasville, NC against a short drive, the office at 404 Lindsay St B offers in-office crowns and implants.
Is the dental implant consultation free for new patients?
Yes. New patients receive a complimentary dental implant consultation. Dr. Hunt reviews your health history, examines the gap and uses imaging to judge the bone available. You leave knowing whether an implant fits your situation and what the next steps would be, with time to compare it against a bridge or other options.
Should I choose a bridge or an implant to replace one missing tooth?
It depends on the teeth beside the gap and the bone underneath. A bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support, which suits cases where those teeth already need crowns. An implant stands on its own and leaves healthy neighbors untouched. Dr. Hunt places both, so he can lay out the tradeoffs for your mouth at an exam.
Do you make crowns and bridges in the office?
Some, yes. Select crowns and bridges are 3D-printed in the office on a SprintRay printer, and CEREC mills permanent ceramic crowns on site, often in about one to two hours. Keeping that work in-house can save you time and extra visits. Dr. Hunt will explain which method fits your tooth when he plans the restoration.
How do I clean under a dental bridge?
Clean under it every day with a floss threader, a water flosser or a small interdental brush. Food and plaque collect beneath the replacement tooth, and decay on the supporting teeth is a common reason bridges fail. Brush twice a day as usual, and keep regular cleanings so Dr. Hunt can check the bridge and the gums around it.
