Dr. James Collette, DDS

Dental care in Cincinnati’s Clifton neighborhood blends routine maintenance with the occasional urgent need—both handled with the kind of quiet efficiency that keeps a practice running for decades. Dr. James Collette, DDS, sits at 3333 Burnet Ave, a stretch of road where medical offices and small cafes share the sidewalk, offering everything from cleanings and fillings to crowns and emergency extractions. The office isn’t flashy, but the category itself doesn’t demand it; people mostly want reliability, clear communication, and a place that doesn’t make the visit worse than it has to be. That baseline expectation is what keeps the phone ringing, especially when a cracked tooth or sudden pain disrupts an otherwise ordinary week.

Clifton’s mix of students, young families, and long-time residents means the patient base is as varied as the neighborhood’s architecture, yet the needs remain consistent: preventive care, restorative work, and the occasional root canal. They can be reached at (513) 636-4641 for appointments or questions, though walk-ins for urgent issues are sometimes accommodated if the schedule allows. Directions are straightforward—just pull up the map and follow Burnet past the university buildings until the numbers hit the 3300 block. It’s the kind of place you might drive past a dozen times before realizing you actually need it.
