Dr. Byron Black DDS, PLLC.

Oral surgery tends to be one of those categories people only think about when they need it. Extractions, implants, and reconstructive work fall under this specialty, which sits somewhere between dentistry and medicine. In smaller towns, finding a practitioner who handles the full scope can be a quiet relief—no referrals out of state, no extra travel for follow-ups.

Dr. Byron Black DDS, PLLC operates from 102 Memorial Dr, Ripley, WV 25271, a street that runs parallel to the Ohio River. The address places it in the center of town, where the grid of older storefronts meets the slower pace of residential blocks. Patients from Jackson County and beyond end up here for procedures that general dentists don’t perform.

Wisdom teeth, bone grafts, and corrective jaw surgeries are among the services listed. The office also handles biopsies and emergency trauma, which means the practice sees everything from routine extractions to urgent cases. When the situation calls for sedation or anesthesia, having a specialist down the road simplifies logistics. Reach them at (304) 514-5500 to confirm availability or discuss next steps.

Ripley itself feels like a crossroads more than a destination, with the interstate visible from the edge of town. Directions to the office are straightforward once you hit Memorial Drive; the map at this link will pinpoint the exact location. The building sits close enough to the courthouse that parking rarely becomes an issue, even on weekdays when the square is busiest.
