Nearly all of them are general dentistry, and four specialties have no listing here at all, though the nearest alternatives are barely a mile away. This guide works through both.
What is listed in Irving Park
27 of the 34 listings are tagged general dentistry. The only other tags are 4 orthodontics, 2 dental clinic and 1 prosthodontics. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the totals overlap slightly.
The addresses are more scattered here than in most neighborhoods. W Cornwallis Dr and N Elm St have 6 listings each, Pembroke Rd has 4, and W Northwood St and Parkway have 3 each. The rest are spread thinly, so there is no single street to work down.
19 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 15 as organizations, one of the more even splits in the directory. 25 of the 34 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration in Irving Park dates to 2006, so most of these practices have been on file a long time.

How to choose between them
This is a neighborhood for finding a regular dentist rather than a specialist. With 27 general listings spread across several streets, start by working out which is closest to home or work, then call two or three and ask about new patient availability.
Ask what they handle in house. Because endodontics, periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and pediatric dentistry all have no listing in Irving Park, a general dentist here refers that work out. Knowing where, and how far, is worth asking before you sign up.
The even split between individual and organization registrations means you will find both small practices and larger groups. Smaller usually means continuity with one dentist; larger often means wider hours and more chairs. Ask which you are dealing with if it matters to you.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Four specialties are absent, and in every case our nearest listings are elsewhere in Greensboro, about 1.4 miles away. There we hold 34 pediatric dentistry practices, 24 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 23 endodontics and 22 periodontics. Those are healthy numbers, so a referral out of Irving Park should not mean a long wait.
The neighboring areas are mostly small. Country Park at Tall Oaks is 2.6 miles away with 20 listings and Woodberry Forest is 3.3 miles away with 14. Oaks of Brassfield has 11 at 4.1 miles, Coventry Glen has 6 at 2.2 miles, Nocho Park has 4 at 1.8 miles and Pomona has 3 at 3.1 miles.
- Nocho Park, 1.8 miles, 4 practices
- Coventry Glen, 2.2 miles, 6 practices
- Country Park at Tall Oaks, 2.6 miles, 20 practices
- Pomona, 3.1 miles, 3 practices
- Woodberry Forest, 3.3 miles, 14 practices
- Oaks of Brassfield, 4.1 miles, 11 practices
Insurance and paying
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. It records who is registered to practice and at what address, and nothing about cost. None of the 34 Irving Park listings has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner.
Ask whether the practice is in network with your specific plan, not just whether it accepts your insurer. In network normally means a rate agreed in advance. Out of network can still be workable if your plan pays a share, but you carry more of the bill.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. Since specialist work here means a referral, ask the network question again wherever you are sent, because coverage does not follow the referral.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on N Elm St, W Cornwallis Dr and Pembroke Rd and ask directly whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 27 general listings in the neighborhood and 23 endodontics listings about 1.4 miles away, urgent toothache is manageable here.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
To search by distance rather than by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from you.

Is there a children's dentist in Irving Park?
Not one tagged as such. Many general dentists see children, so ask the local practices first. If you want a pediatric specialist, our nearest listings are elsewhere in Greensboro, about 1.4 miles away, where 34 practices carry that tag. Four Irving Park listings are tagged orthodontics for braces.
Where is the nearest oral surgeon to Irving Park?
No Irving Park listing carries the oral and maxillofacial surgery tag. Our nearest are elsewhere in Greensboro, about 1.4 miles away, where we hold 24 of them. Endodontics and periodontics are the same distance, with 23 and 22 practices, so all three gaps close within a short drive.
