About Tates Creek Dental

Tates Creek Dental is a dental practice in the Tates Creek Centre off Tates Creek Road in Lexington, offering general dentistry alongside more specific care most patients eventually need. The office sits near the corner of Wilson-Downing Road on the city's southeast side, in a retail and office corridor convenient for the surrounding neighborhoods. Beyond routine cleanings and exams, many patients eventually want a brighter smile before an event, a missing tooth replaced, or straighter teeth without a lengthy process, which is why having those options available alongside basic dental care matters.

Tates Creek Dental pairs general dentistry with dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canal treatment, along with periodontal care and sealants for preventive maintenance. In-office teeth whitening completed in a single visit is the more distinctive piece of what this practice offers, useful for patients who want a noticeably brighter smile before a wedding, interview, or other deadline rather than waiting weeks on a take-home tray schedule. Invisalign is also available for adults who want straighter teeth without traditional braces, and veneers are offered for patients pursuing a more complete cosmetic change alongside whitening or straightening.

If you have an event coming up and don't have weeks to wait on a take-home whitening kit, an in-office option finished in a single appointment solves a timing problem a standard kit can't.

In-office whitening cost is generally more predictable than other cosmetic work since it's a single procedure, but Invisalign and implant costs vary considerably depending on how many teeth or how much movement is involved, so ask for a written estimate before starting either. Dental insurance typically doesn't cover whitening at all and only partially covers orthodontic treatment for adults, so it's worth confirming what your plan allows before committing to a full course of treatment. For patients near the Tates Creek Centre and the surrounding Wilson-Downing corridor, having whitening, orthodontics, and implant care handled at one nearby office cuts down on separate trips across town.

Tates Creek Dental is a dental practice on Tates Creek Centre Drive in the Belleau Woods area of Lexington, Kentucky, offering dental implants and invisalign among its listed services. The practice is open Monday through Friday. You can reach the practice through this page to ask about treatment or request an appointment.

Do sealants replace the need for brushing?
No. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces specifically, but the sides of the teeth and the gumline still need regular brushing and flossing — a sealant only covers part of the tooth.
What are dental sealants and who needs them?
A sealant is a thin protective coating bonded into the grooves of the back teeth, where food and plaque collect and brushing struggles to reach. They are most commonly applied to children's permanent molars soon after they come through.
Can periodontal disease come back after treatment?
Yes, if plaque control lapses. Periodontal disease is managed rather than cured outright, which is why maintenance visits more frequent than a standard six-month cleaning are often part of ongoing care.

We had such a wonderful experience at my daughter’s dental visit at Tates Creek Dental! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and great with kids. My daughter left smiling and actually said she’s not afraid to go back—which says everything! Dr. Coleman and the team are amazing!
