North Hill Dental: Keavin McIntosh DMD PS

Edgewood’s stretch of Meridian Avenue isn’t just a route between Puyallup and Tacoma—it’s where North Hill Dental: Keavin McIntosh DMD PS sits, a general dentistry practice handling everything from routine cleanings to crowns. The area itself is a mix of quiet residential pockets and small commercial strips, the kind of place where a dental office fits right in without fanfare. No flashy signage, no promises of revolutionary techniques; just a straightforward practice for people who need fillings, extractions, or a second opinion on that lingering molar ache.

Dentists in suburban Pierce County tend to cluster near major roads, and this one’s no exception—2511 Meridian Ave E puts it within easy reach of both Edgewood proper and the neighboring sprawl. The building itself doesn’t announce its purpose too loudly, which might be a relief for anyone who’d rather not broadcast their root canal to the neighborhood. Inside, the focus is on the usual: exams, X-rays, maybe the occasional wisdom tooth extraction. No specialty gimmicks, just the basics done without detours into upselling.

Booking an appointment here follows the standard script: call ahead, confirm insurance details, show up on time. The phone number—(253) 845-8817—is the kind you’d jot on a sticky note and forget about until the day before your cleaning. No online scheduling portals or chatbots; this is still a place where a quick voice call settles things. For anyone mapping out the trip, the office is just north of the 512, close enough to the highway to make it painless but far enough to avoid the traffic snarls.

Directions are best pulled from the map listing, especially if you’re coming from the backroads of Milton or the newer developments near South Hill. The area’s grid layout helps, but Meridian’s speed limit changes can catch you off guard—worth a glance at the route before heading out.
