Your teeth and gums are important to your overall health. Research demonstrates the close connection between dental health and cardiovascular health. In extreme cases a dental abscess can spread to vital organs, resulting in hospitalization or worse. If you are experiencing dental pain, call us.

Perhaps you are in town for work or vacation and experience a dental emergency. Delaying treatment for a cracked tooth, loose filling or crown, or toothache can be uncomfortable and potentially lead to bigger problems. We can help. One of our doctors will diagnose the issue and work with you to find a solution.

Our doctors are highly trained in managing all types of dental emergencies. Dr. Ramsey has over 30 years of experience treating dental emergencies in the Roanoke area. He has seen it all, and is known for his ability to arrive at an accurate diagnosis, even when the issue is not obvious. Dr. Irby completed specific dental emergency training during his general practice residency in Asheville, NC. He served as the On Call emergency dentist at Mission hospital. Dr. Irby is proficient at treating dental trauma and severe dental abscesses. Whatever the emergency is- patients seen at our practice are in good hands.

Dental emergencies may include damage to teeth from trauma, a broken tooth that is painful, or swelling in the head or neck area caused by an infected tooth.

Urgent care is unlikely to perform a dental extraction, since dental extractions are only performed by dentists or oral surgeons.

 Emergency tooth extractions may cost $200-800.
