Walter Richard D DDS

General dentistry still feels like a quiet necessity in small Ohio towns. Walter Richard DDS handles routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional emergency that can’t wait until morning. The practice keeps hours that fit around factory shifts and school schedules, a detail locals notice when they need a last-minute appointment.

You’ll find the office at 9399 Main Ave SE, East Sparta, OH 44626, tucked between the post office and the grain elevator. The building blends into the streetscape, easy to overlook until someone reminds you it’s been there for decades. Residents drive past it daily without thinking, until a chipped tooth or a child’s first loose molar makes the address suddenly urgent.

Preventive care and restorative work fill most of the schedule, along with crowns and basic extractions. Patients call (330) 866-3155 to book appointments or ask about insurance coverage before walking in. The staff answers questions about billing and procedures in plain language, which matters more in a town where word-of-mouth carries weight.

East Sparta’s streets are narrow, so first-time visitors sometimes circle the block once before spotting the sign. Directions are clearer on the map. Most people end up here because a neighbor or coworker mentioned the name in passing. That’s how small-town dentistry works—reliable, unflashy, and right where you need it when the need arises.
