Emergency Services We Provide:

null

Tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth)

When a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to save, or an impacted wisdom tooth is causing pain and swelling, extraction relieves discomfort quickly and prevents further complications. We numb the area thoroughly so the procedure stays comfortable from start to finish.
null

Root canal treatment

Deep decay or trauma can let bacteria reach the nerve inside a tooth, causing intense pain and swelling. A root canal removes the infected tissue and saves the natural tooth, helping you avoid extraction and keep your smile intact.
null

Bonding to repair chips or fractures

A chipped or fractured tooth does not have to wait. We apply tooth-colored composite resin to rebuild the damaged area in a single visit, restoring both function and appearance before you leave our office.
null

Splinting to protect loose teeth

Trauma to the mouth can loosen a tooth in its socket. Splinting stabilizes the tooth against its neighbors, giving the surrounding bone and ligament time to heal and improving the chances of saving the tooth.
null

Repair of broken denture or partial

A cracked or ill-fitting denture makes it hard to eat or speak with confidence. We repair or adjust dentures and partials quickly, so you are not left without a functional smile for long.
null

Draining of abscess

A dental abscess is a pocket of infection that can cause severe pain, swelling, and fever if left untreated. We drain the abscess to relieve pressure, then address the underlying infection to keep it from spreading.
null

Application of tooth desensitizer

Sudden sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets can be more than an annoyance; it can signal an underlying issue. We apply a desensitizing treatment for fast relief while identifying the root cause.
null

Loose filling or crown for teeth

A loose or lost filling or crown exposes the tooth underneath to bacteria and further damage. We re-cement or replace it promptly to protect the tooth and stop the pain caused by exposure.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I know if my dental problem is an emergency?

    If you experience any sudden dental pain, call us right away. Your teeth and gums are important to your overall health, and waiting to fix an emergency dental issue could put your health in jeopardy.

    What if I’m visiting or traveling in Roanoke and suffering from tooth pain?

    You don’t need to be an existing patient to be treated by an emergency dentist at Irby Dentistry. 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.

    What is considered a dental emergency?

    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.

    Can urgent care pull a tooth?

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

    How much does it cost to pull a tooth in an emergency?

    Emergency tooth extractions may cost $200-800.

    Will a dentist pull an infected tooth the same day?

    In many cases, yes. If you are dealing with a badly infected tooth, our emergency dentist will examine you and, if extraction is the best path forward, can often perform it the same day to stop the infection from spreading and relieve your pain. If you are searching for an emergency dentist in Roanoke, VA, because of a painful, infected tooth, call our office or after-hours line right away so we can get you in as soon as possible.

    Irby dentistry was awesome! They were really quick with getting back to me about an emergency extraction and it didn't hurt that dr Irby was real easy on the eyes lol! Great place! My kids had to come with me and they let them dig in the toy box for a distraction so that was cool too!
