Why Woodlawn-Oakdale Residents Choose Dental Care in Paducah

Woodlawn-Oakdale is one of Paducah’s well-established midcentury residential neighborhoods, located along the Clarks River Road corridor where U.S. 60 and U.S. 62 converge near the I-24 interchange at Exit 11 (John L. Puryear Drive). The neighborhood is defined by its tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and brick ranch-style homes built primarily during the 1950s and 1960s. It occupies a central position within McCracken County — close enough to Downtown Paducah for convenient access to employment and cultural amenities, yet positioned along the eastern growth corridor that connects the city to the Reidland community and, beyond that, to Kentucky Lake.

Residents in the Woodlawn-Oakdale area are served by Concord Elementary School and Heath Middle School, both part of the McCracken County School District. The neighborhood sits between two well-known Paducah parks — Keiler Park on Broadway, a three-acre shaded park with picnic shelters, a playground, and a gaga pit, and Independence Park at the corner of Lone Oak Road and Alben Barkley Drive, a fenced park with a gazebo, climbing boulders, and open green space.

The drive from Woodlawn-Oakdale to the dental office follows U.S. 62 eastward through a familiar stretch that passes the Puryear Drive/I-24 interchange and continues directly into Reidland. There are no highway merges, toll crossings, or bridge navigations required — the route is a direct, surface-road connection that most Woodlawn-Oakdale residents already travel regularly for school, shopping, or recreation along the Reidland Road commercial corridor.

The practice provides a full scope of services that address the dental needs common across a neighborhood with a mix of young families and longtime homeowners — from pediatric preventive care and routine adult cleanings to crown and bridge restoration, dental implants for missing teeth, and cosmetic treatments for patients interested in aesthetic improvement. Sedation options are available for patients of any age who experience anxiety around dental procedures.

The Woodlawn-Oakdale area has seen renewed interest from homebuyers in recent years, drawn by the neighborhood’s mature character, proximity to Kentucky Oaks Mall and the Hinkleville Road retail corridor, and easy I-24 access. As the neighborhood continues to attract new families alongside established residents, the availability of accessible, consolidated dental care remains a practical consideration for households managing multiple schedules.

Woodlawn-Oakdale and the Surrounding Area

The Woodlawn-Oakdale neighborhood occupies a strategic position in McCracken County’s residential geography. It lies along the Clarks River Road and U.S. 62 corridor between the Lone Oak community to the west and the Reidland community to the east. I-24 runs just south of the neighborhood, with Exit 11 (John L. Puryear Drive) providing direct interstate access.

To the north, the neighborhood transitions into the broader Paducah residential fabric — the Cherokee, Fairfield, and Conrad Heights neighborhoods stretch toward Noble Park, Bob Noble Park’s 55-acre green space with its dog parks, swimming pool, amphitheater, skate park, and greenway trail connections. The Deer Lick Place area to the south blends rural character with suburban convenience, sitting between the neighborhood and the Kentucky Oaks Mall commercial corridor on Hinkleville Road.

Clarks River, one of McCracken County’s defining waterways, flows through the eastern edge of the area before emptying into the Tennessee River near its confluence with the Ohio. The Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge, a bottomland hardwood forest managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, provides hunting, fishing, birdwatching, and kayaking access within a short drive of the neighborhood.

The BBQ on the River festival, one of Paducah’s signature annual events drawing thousands of visitors for food, live music, and river activities, is held along the Ohio River waterfront approximately 10 minutes north of the neighborhood. Woodlawn-Oakdale residents also have quick access to the Paxton Park Municipal Golf Course and the Greenway Trail system that connects Stuart Nelson Park, Noble Park, and the Ohio River shoreline.

Getting to the Office from Woodlawn-Oakdale

From the Woodlawn-Oakdale neighborhood, take Clarks River Road or U.S. 62 east toward Reidland. Continue past the John L. Puryear Drive intersection at I-24 Exit 11. The road continues east as it merges with U.S. 68 into the Reidland corridor. The office at 5504 Reidland Road is on the right-hand side, approximately two miles past the Exit 11 interchange. The drive takes roughly 10 minutes. Alternatively, from the Hinkleville Road area, take I-24 East from Exit 4 to Exit 16, then turn north on U.S. 68 — the office is less than one mile ahead.
