Dentist Serving East Paducah, KY | Dentist in Paducah, KY

Smile Station Dental Care serves residents of the Massac Creek and East Paducah area from its office at 5504 Reidland Road in Paducah, Kentucky. The eastern portions of Paducah along the Massac Creek drainage and the neighborhoods east of the Tennessee River corridor sit within a short drive of the practice — most households in this area are less than 10 minutes from the office. All dental treatment is provided at the Reidland Road location.

Why East Paducah Residents Seek Dental Care on Reidland Road

The eastern side of Paducah encompasses a distinct geographic character that sets it apart from the city’s downtown core and western suburbs. This area — roughly defined by the land east of the Tennessee River’s mouth, south of the Ohio River, and west of the Reidland community — includes a mix of established residential neighborhoods, light industrial zones, and the low-lying terrain shaped by Massac Creek and its tributaries as they drain northward into the Ohio River.

Historically, eastern Paducah developed alongside the railroad infrastructure that once made the city one of the Illinois Central Railroad’s most important hubs. The Paducah and Louisville Railroad lines still cross through this part of the county, and the area’s street grid reflects the industrial-era development patterns that shaped Paducah’s growth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, the eastern residential areas blend older housing stock with newer subdivisions, and residents share access to McCracken County’s public services and school system.

For families in East Paducah, the Reidland Road dental office is accessible via a combination of routes depending on specific starting location. Residents near the Wayne Sullivan Drive corridor can follow it south to Clarks River Road, then east to U.S. 62/68 and into Reidland. Those along the U.S. 60 Business corridor east of Downtown can connect to John L. Puryear Drive (KY 1954) and proceed south to U.S. 62, then east. In either case, the drive to 5504 Reidland Road typically takes under 10 minutes.

The practice provides consolidated dental services that address the full range of needs across a geographically spread patient base. Families in the eastern part of Paducah benefit from the office’s proximity — closer than the Hinkleville Road commercial corridor and more accessible than providers located in the downtown medical district — while receiving the same scope of treatment available to patients from any other part of McCracken County.

McCracken County’s smaller waterways — Massac Creek, Perkins Creek, and Newtons Creek — all drain through the eastern portions of the county before reaching the Ohio River. The terrain in this area is relatively flat, with pockets of bottomland along the creek corridors. The Clyde F. Boyles Greenway Trail, which links Stuart Nelson Park and Noble Park with the Ohio River shoreline, passes through sections of eastern Paducah and provides recreational trail access for residents. The 9/11 Memorial at the Cairo Road entrance to Noble Park is a community landmark in this part of the county.

East Paducah and the Surrounding Area

Eastern Paducah sits at the convergence of two of the region’s most significant waterways. The Tennessee River meets the Ohio River just upstream from Downtown Paducah at a point visible from the riverfront — a confluence that has defined the city’s geography, economy, and identity since William Clark platted the town in 1827. The eastern neighborhoods developed in the shadow of this river junction, with Livingston Point and Cuba Towhead marking the landscape where the rivers merge.

The area is bounded by the Ohio River to the north, the Tennessee River and its mouth to the west, the Reidland community to the southeast, and the Woodlawn-Oakdale neighborhood to the south along Clarks River Road. Key transportation arteries include Wayne Sullivan Drive (which transitions into 3rd Street through downtown), John L. Puryear Drive (KY 1954) connecting to I-24 at Exit 11, and the U.S. 60 Business corridor that serves as an east-west spine through this section of the county.

Noble Park, McCracken County’s largest public green space at roughly 55 acres, anchors the recreational landscape of eastern Paducah. The park features dog parks, a swimming pool, an amphitheater renovated with columns from the former Immanuel Baptist Church, a skate park, tennis courts, basketball courts, and multiple ball fields. The Wacinton sculpture — a 56,000-pound red oak carving by Peter “Wolf” Toth honoring the Chickasaw people who inhabited the area before the Jackson Purchase of 1818 — stands along Park Avenue near the Robert Cherry Civic Center.

Baptist Health Paducah, the region’s primary hospital at 2501 Kentucky Avenue, sits within the broader eastern Paducah geography and serves as the area’s dominant healthcare anchor. West Kentucky Community and Technical College (WKCTC) on Alben Barkley Drive provides higher education access, while the University of Kentucky operates a branch engineering campus at the same location.

Getting to the Office from East Paducah

From the Wayne Sullivan Drive area, head south to Clarks River Road, then turn east (left) onto U.S. 62. Follow U.S. 62 as it merges with U.S. 68 into the Reidland corridor — the office is at 5504 Reidland Road on the right. Total drive time is approximately 10 minutes. From the Noble Park area on Park Avenue, head south on Park Avenue to its junction with John L. Puryear Drive, then south to U.S. 62 and east to Reidland. From the U.S. 60 Business corridor near the Tennessee River, connect to KY 1954 south and follow the same route. I-24 Exit 16 provides an alternate approach from any direction.
