UK College of Dentistry

UK College of Dentistry is located at 800 Rose Street in Lexington, Kentucky — the University of Kentucky's CODA-accredited dental school and its associated patient care teaching clinics, operating from the UK HealthCare academic medical campus on Rose Street in ZIP 40536. 800 Rose Street is the address of the Albert B. Chandler Hospital complex and the UK HealthCare academic medical center — Lexington's most significant healthcare campus and the medical education hub for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The UK College of Dentistry trains predoctoral dental students (DMD degree program) and postgraduate dental residents in multiple specialties, providing comprehensive dental care to the Lexington and central Kentucky public through its teaching clinics at academic dental school rates. The College of Dentistry is one of two major dental schools in Kentucky (alongside the University of Louisville School of Dentistry) — making it one of the two principal sources of dental education and public dental access in the Commonwealth. UK Dentistry's Urgent Care Clinic also operates from the same 800 Rose Street address, providing emergency dental access within the UK College of Dentistry's campus, while UK Dentistry at Turfland (2195 Harrodsburg Road) and UK Dentistry-Pediatric Dentistry (740 S Limestone, Kentucky Clinic) extend UK dental access to satellite locations in the Lexington community.

UK College of Dentistry provides comprehensive dental care services for adult and pediatric patients through its teaching clinics at 800 Rose Street, with services delivered by DMD students and postgraduate dental residents under direct faculty supervision. General dental services include comprehensive oral examinations, radiographs, professional cleanings, restorations, extractions, and denture fabrication. Specialist teaching clinic services include orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics (root canal), oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, and prosthodontics — the full spectrum of dental specialization offered by an accredited dental school's teaching clinic infrastructure. The teaching clinic model typically offers significantly reduced fees compared to private dental practices, as the educational mission of the dental school subsidizes patient care costs. Appointments at teaching clinics are often longer than private practice appointments due to the instructional component of each procedure.

Rose Street's UK HealthCare campus position places the UK College of Dentistry at the center of Lexington's academic medical infrastructure, accessible from the UK campus transit network, from South Limestone Street (US-68) connecting downtown Lexington to the UK campus, and from the I-75 and I-64 Lexington interchanges. The Kentucky Clinic building at 740 S Limestone hosts UK Dentistry's Pediatric Dentistry department at Suite A219, while UK Dentistry at Turfland (2195 Harrodsburg Road) serves west Lexington's ZIP 40504 community.

For Lexington and central Kentucky patients seeking comprehensive dental care at academic dental school rates, UK College of Dentistry at 800 Rose Street provides the full spectrum of dental and specialty services from the University of Kentucky's main dental school campus, with the UK Dentistry Urgent Care Clinic at the same address for emergency dental access.
