About Derby City Pediatric Dentistry
Derby City Pediatric Dentistry is located at 2407 Bush Ridge Drive in Louisville, Kentucky — a specialist pediatric dental practice in the Derby City, Louisville's celebrated nickname derived from the Kentucky Derby horse race held annually at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. The Kentucky Derby is the oldest continuously held major sporting event in the United States and arguably Louisville's most internationally recognized cultural institution, and "Derby City" as a practice branding choice signals deep Louisville identity and civic pride. Bush Ridge Drive in Louisville suggests a residential-adjacent professional address in Jefferson County, placing this pediatric specialist in a neighborhood-accessible location within Louisville Metro. Pediatric dental specialization requires two to three years of post-doctoral residency training beyond dental school, with focus on child development, behavior guidance, pediatric pharmacology, and the clinical dental care unique to the primary and mixed dentition stages of childhood.
Derby City Pediatric Dentistry provides comprehensive specialist dental care for infants, children, and adolescents in Louisville and the surrounding Jefferson County communities. Services span the full scope of children's dental needs — first dental visits for infants as recommended at first tooth eruption, comprehensive pediatric oral examinations, professional cleanings and fluoride treatments, pit-and-fissure dental sealants to prevent cavities on newly erupted permanent molars, space maintainers for children with premature primary tooth loss, pediatric crown restorations for teeth damaged by early childhood caries, pulp therapy (baby root canals) for primary teeth with deep decay or infection, and behavior guidance for children with dental anxiety or developmental differences. Louisville's robust pediatric population generates substantial demand for specialist pediatric dental care, and Derby City Pediatric Dentistry's Louisville branding positions it as a local-identity dental home for Jefferson County families.
Bush Ridge Drive's Jefferson County position provides accessibility from Louisville's residential communities, with the Jefferson County road network connecting this address to families across the Louisville Metro area. Louisville Metro's comprehensive specialist dental infrastructure — orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics alongside pediatric dentistry — gives Derby City Pediatric Dentistry a full-service referral network for the transitional needs of adolescent patients advancing from pediatric to adult dental care.
For Louisville Metro and Jefferson County families seeking specialist pediatric dental care from a Derby City–branded practice, Derby City Pediatric Dentistry at Bush Ridge Drive provides comprehensive children's dentistry with Louisville civic identity in Kentucky's largest city.

Dr. Korie and the whole staff are so welcoming and make dentistry less intimidating (and even fun!) for kids.
Derby City always takes care of our big family with excellence along with a personal relationship with the entire staff and that’s why Dr. Korie has been our children’s dentist for over a decade!
My son has not stopped talking about his visit today, saying Derby City was "the best!" Both of my children absolutely loved the staff and Dr. Korie. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and engaging with them throughout the visit. I especially love how excited they are to tell me everything they learned during their dental checkups. It's wonderful to see them actually looking forward to going to the dentist. We had such a great experience and highly recommend Derby City!
Dr. Kori and her team are excellent!! They explain to kids in a way they will understand and communicate in detail the treatments that are needed and why. We never have a long wait either. This practice isn’t in our insurance plan but I still choose to come here so my daughter doesn’t experience the dental trauma we did as kids.
Dr. Kori and her team are excellent!! They explain to kids in a way they will understand and communicate in detail the treatments that are needed and why.
I would highly recommend Derby City Pediatric Dentistry! Dr. Korie and Alexis were both so kind, helpful, and knowledgable. They are the best and your kids will actually enjoy going to the dentist!
Always a wonderful experience. Dr. Kori and her staff are great. My son had teeth pulled today and they put him at ease from the very beginning. Highly recommend!
We have been with Dr. Korie for about 10 years now. We started with a very anxious child with a complex issue and it has been smooth sailing ever since. The kids are happy and relaxed at Derby City. They go the extra mile for their patients and it shows. All the ladies are so professional, lovely, and great at what they do! I only wish we could stay with Dr. Korie forever!
My 2.5 week old had a lip and tongue tie and Derby City Pediatric Dentistry was on the list our pediatrician gave us, along with a few others. We are so glad we went with Dr. Korie! Her and her staff were so kind, informative, and caring. They made us feel very comfortable and welcome. We didn’t feel rushed and she took the time to explain everything to us. Dr. Korie also texted us the night after her procedure to check on her. We are so happy with our decision to come here!
My children are high on sensory needs - one diagnosed ans autistic and they handled both of them with care and efficiency! I have never seen a dental staff so professional and kid friendly and would recommend them to any parent I come across.
The entire staff is great with my 3 1/2 year old. She loves going to the dentist. Asks to go numerous times between scheduled visits! She’s been going since she was almost 2 and they’ve been spectacular every single time!
If you have a super anxious child who needs lots of patience and explanation, this is the place for you!. The staff are very accommodating and handled my very anxious and unwilling 5 year old so well. Alexis got right on her level and slowly but surely gained her trust. From here, the rest of our visit was a breeze. The icing on the cake was when Dr. Korie “cleaned” my daughters stuffed puppy’s teeth ❤️. She was so amazing, taking the time to make this fun even though I’m sure there were other patients waiting on her to be seen. My daughter is already asking when she gets to go back, even though we walked into the office with nervous tears! We highly recommend Dr. Korie and her staff ❤️
