Read full description

Dental Wellness of Lexington is located at Suite 120 of 527 Wellington Way in Lexington, Kentucky — a general dental practice at the same Wellington Way professional address as Dr. Anthony Feck, DMD, both listed at Suite 120 of 527 Wellington Way in southwest Lexington's professional corridor near Nicholasville Road and the Beaumont Centre corridor (ZIP 40503). The coincidence of the same suite and address suggests either that Dental Wellness of Lexington is the practice name under which Dr. Anthony Feck operates — a named-practice identity alongside the practitioner's individual credential listing — or that both entities share Suite 120 at 527 Wellington Way as co-located but separately listed dental entities within the same professional building. "Dental Wellness" as a practice name signals a health-centered, preventive-oriented dental philosophy beyond simple disease treatment — emphasizing total oral wellness, preventive care, and quality of life through comprehensive dental health, a branding approach consistent with the growing "wellness" movement in dental marketing that has expanded beyond physical therapy and integrative medicine into the dental practice market.

Dental Wellness of Lexington provides general dental care for adults and families in southwest Lexington and the surrounding Fayette County and Jessamine County communities accessible from the Wellington Way professional corridor. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — tooth-colored fillings and crown restorations — within the wellness-oriented dental philosophy that the practice name signals. Wellington Way's position in the Nicholasville Road professional zone of southwest Lexington (ZIP 40503) places this practice within easy reach of the Beaumont development's residential community to the west, the Tates Creek Road neighborhoods to the east, and the Jessamine County communities to the south that use Nicholasville Road as their primary Lexington connection.

Patients who wish to confirm whether Dental Wellness of Lexington and Dr. Anthony Feck, DMD represent the same clinical entity at Suite 120 should contact the practice directly, as the shared address in both listings may reflect a single practice operating under both identifiers. Southwest Lexington's professional corridor is well developed with multiple dental and medical practices along Wellington Way and the adjacent Nicholasville Road commercial zone, making this address one of the more dentist-active professional streets in southwest Lexington.

For southwest Lexington and Fayette County patients seeking wellness-oriented general dental care on Wellington Way, Dental Wellness of Lexington at Suite 120 provides professional dental services at an address shared with Dr. Anthony Feck, DMD in Lexington's Nicholasville Road professional corridor.

Audubon Dental & Implant Center

4.7(773)·2.6 km from Lexington Downtown
85Smyleee

1330, South Broadway, Lexington, Kentucky

Open until 7 PM

Lexington clinic with a dental implants specialty — Emergency Dentistry is on file among 19 procedures.

Read full description

Audubon Dental & Implant Center is a dental practice on South Broadway in Lexington, offering general dentistry alongside more specific care most patients eventually need. The office sits in the Audubon Park area just south of downtown, convenient for patients across the central and south side of the city. Beyond routine cleanings and checkups, many patients eventually need a tooth replaced, gum disease addressed before it progresses, or oral surgery handled without a separate referral, which is why having that depth of care at one practice matters.

Audubon Dental & Implant Center pairs general dentistry with dental implants, bone grafting, extractions, root canal treatment, and dentures, alongside cosmetic options like veneers, bonding, and full smile makeovers. Laser-assisted periodontal therapy for gum disease is the more distinctive piece of what this practice offers, giving patients with gum disease a less invasive option than traditional surgical treatment, handled by the same practice managing their implants and general care. Invisalign is available for adults wanting straighter teeth, and oral surgery for more involved extractions and trauma cases is done in-house rather than referred to a separate surgeon.

If you've been told your gums are receding or infected and pictured only scalpel-based surgery as the fix, having a laser-based option available changes what that treatment actually looks like.

Cost for periodontal therapy, implants, and bone grafting depends heavily on how much treatment is needed and how advanced the gum disease or bone loss is, so a written estimate before anything beyond an initial exam is worth requesting. Dental insurance often covers a portion of periodontal treatment and less of implant and cosmetic work, so it's worth confirming with the front desk what your specific plan allows before starting. For patients in the Audubon Park area and along South Broadway, having implant, periodontal, and general dentistry handled at one practice close to downtown cuts down on referrals to separate specialists across the city.

Open until 5 PM

Dental Implants is the documented focus in Lexington; Emergency Dentistry sits within 14 services on profile.

Read full description

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.

Open until 5 PM

Profile in Lexington flags general dentistry; lists Emergency Dentistry alongside 7 other documented services.

Read full description

TLC Dentistry is located at Suite 100 of 3070 Harrodsburg Road in Lexington, Kentucky — a general dental practice on the Harrodsburg Road commercial spine of southwest Lexington, ZIP 40503. Harrodsburg Road (U.S. Route 68) is one of Lexington's most commercially active arterials, running southwest from downtown Lexington through the inner southwest neighborhoods and outer suburban zones toward Harrodsburg in Mercer County — a major commercial corridor serving the professional, residential, and healthcare communities of southwest Lexington. "TLC" as a practice name acronym most commonly evokes "Tender Loving Care" — a patient-centered philosophy that emphasizes comfort, compassion, and individualized attention as central to the dental patient experience — though it may also represent the founding practitioners' initials. Suite 100 at 3070 Harrodsburg Road indicates a primary-floor professional suite in the Harrodsburg Road commercial zone, providing ground-level accessibility for patients from the residential and commercial communities of southwest Lexington. ZIP 40503 is one of Lexington's most professionally concentrated ZIP codes, with the Harrodsburg Road commercial spine, the Regency Road professional corridor, the Larkin Road professional zone, and the Nicholasville Road healthcare cluster all contributing to a dense dental and professional services landscape that includes Schroeder Dentistry, TLC Dentistry at 3070 Harrodsburg, Dr. John Denison on Regency Road, and the Larkin Road dental cluster among others.

TLC Dentistry provides general dental care for adults and families in southwest Lexington and the surrounding Fayette County communities. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — tooth-colored fillings and crown restorations — for patients in the established southwest Lexington residential and professional community served by the Harrodsburg Road commercial spine. The "TLC" Tender Loving Care philosophy positions this practice as a patient-comfort-focused dental office that prioritizes the patient's emotional experience alongside clinical treatment outcomes — an approach particularly relevant for patients with dental anxiety, needle phobia, or dental avoidance histories who need gentle reassurance as part of successful dental care. The Harrodsburg Road ground-floor Suite 100 position maximizes accessibility for the ambulatory patient population of the southwest Lexington professional corridor.

Harrodsburg Road's southwest Lexington position provides access from New Circle Road's southwest Lexington interchange, from the Man O' War Boulevard connector, and from the Nicholasville Road communities to the south and west. TLC Dentistry at 3070 serves patients in the same Harrodsburg Road corridor as the broader SW Lexington dental cluster, providing gentle general dental care for this established Fayette County zip zone.

For southwest Lexington and Fayette County ZIP 40503 patients seeking compassionate general dental care on Harrodsburg Road, TLC Dentistry at Suite 100 provides patient-comfort-focused dentistry in the commercial heart of southwest Lexington's professional services corridor.

Beaumont Dental Associates

4.8(355)·6.1 km from Lexington Downtown
91Smyleee

Suite 114, 3181, Beaumont Centre Circle, Beaumont Residential, Lexington, Kentucky

Open until 6 PM

Lexington practice known for general dentistry, with Emergency Dentistry among 8 documented procedures.

Read full description

Beaumont Dental Associates is located at Suite 114 of 3181 Beaumont Centre Circle in the Beaumont Residential development of southwest Lexington, Kentucky — a general dental practice in one of Lexington's most affluent planned communities, at the same Beaumont Centre Circle address that also houses Beaumont Family Dentistry at 3141 Beaumont Centre Circle. The Beaumont Centre development was built in the late 1990s and 2000s as a master-planned community in Lexington's southwest (ZIP 40513), combining luxury residential neighborhoods with high-end retail, restaurants, and professional office space along Beaumont Centre Circle. The proximity of Beaumont Dental Associates (3181) and Beaumont Family Dentistry (3141) on the same Centre Circle — with Beaumont Family Dentistry also operating Hamburg (Sir Barton Way) and Leestown (Trade Street) locations — makes Beaumont Centre Circle a notable dental concentration within Lexington's most upscale southwest residential community.

Beaumont Dental Associates provides general dental care for adults and families in Lexington's Beaumont neighbourhood and the surrounding southwest Fayette County communities. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — tooth-colored fillings, crown restorations — for patients in one of Lexington's highest-income residential zones. The "Associates" designation signals a multi-dentist group model with expanded appointment availability and potentially broader clinical capabilities compared to a solo practitioner at the same address. The Beaumont Centre patient demographic skews toward established professional families with high dental care utilization rates, supporting the commercial viability of multiple dental practices in the same development.

Beaumont Centre Circle's southwest Lexington position provides easy access from the Beaumont Parkway residential communities, from Nicholasville Road (Route 27) to the east, and from the Man O' War Boulevard ring road that connects southwest Lexington to the broader Fayette County dental market. The concentration of dental providers in Beaumont Centre — Dental Associates at 3181 alongside Beaumont Family Dentistry at 3141 — creates de facto patient choice at a walkable intra-complex scale. Specialist dental referrals for orthodontics, oral surgery, and periodontics point to Lexington's full-service dental network accessible via Man O' War Boulevard.

For Beaumont Centre and southwest Lexington patients seeking general dental care in an upscale planned community, Beaumont Dental Associates at Suite 114 provides professional dentistry in the same Beaumont Centre Circle complex as Beaumont Family Dentistry and adjacent to Lexington's most prestigious southwest residential zone.

General Dentistry focus in Lexington, with emergency dentistry listed among 6 documented services.

Read full description

Dr. John F. Denison, DDS practices general dentistry at 2036 Regency Road in Lexington, Kentucky — a solo named-practitioner dental practice on the Regency Road corridor of southwest Lexington, ZIP 40503. Regency Road is a commercial and residential street in southwest Lexington — a city zone that contains the HealthFirst Bluegrass Southland Drive Clinic, the Brewer Family Dental and Gentle Care Cosmetic & Family Dentistry practices on Larkin Road, and the Ruccio Way professional corridor where Commonwealth Dentistry operates. ZIP 40503 encompasses much of southwest Lexington's interior residential and commercial fabric between the New Circle Road ring road and the Nicholasville Road arterial, and Regency Road's 2036 address places Dr. Denison's practice in this well-developed southwest Lexington dental market. The "D.D.S." credential (Doctor of Dental Surgery) is the alternative dental degree designation to the D.M.D. (Doctor of Dental Medicine) — both represent equivalent dental education and licensure, with the credential varying by dental school nomenclature rather than clinical scope. The "Denison" surname is an English patronymic with roots in the mid-Atlantic and Appalachian communities, relatively uncommon in Kentucky's dental community.

Dr. Denison provides general dental care for adults and families in southwest Lexington and the surrounding Fayette County communities. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — tooth-colored fillings and crown restorations — for patients in southwest Lexington's residential interior neighborhoods served by the Regency Road commercial and professional corridor. Solo named-practitioner practices like Dr. Denison's at Regency Road build patient relationships through provider continuity — returning patients see the same dentist at every appointment, developing the long-term clinical familiarity that characterized the traditional family dentist model and that many patients prefer over the rotation of employed dentists common in corporate group practices.

Regency Road's southwest Lexington position provides access from New Circle Road's southwest Lexington interchange, from the Nicholasville Road residential communities to the south, and from the Southland Drive commercial corridor to the east. The University of Kentucky campus is approximately three miles northeast via Nicholasville Road, and Lexington's full dental specialist network is accessible from this southwest Lexington address via the Man O' War Boulevard and New Circle Road ring system.

For southwest Lexington and Fayette County patients seeking solo named-practitioner general dental care on Regency Road, Dr. John F. Denison, DDS at 2036 provides personal professional dentistry in the established southwest Lexington residential and commercial corridor of ZIP 40503.

UK Dentistry - Urgent Care Clinic

3.0(21)·1.9 km from Lexington Downtown
55Smyleee

800, Rose Street, Lexington, Kentucky

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8 AM

Lexington clinic with a emergency dental care specialty — Emergency Dentistry is on file among 2 procedures.

Read full description

UK Dentistry - Urgent Care Clinic is located at 800 Rose Street in Lexington, Kentucky — the dental urgent care and emergency access clinic of the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, operating from the same 800 Rose Street address as the UK College of Dentistry's main teaching clinics on the UK HealthCare academic medical campus in ZIP 40536. "Urgent Care" in a dental context refers to same-day or next-day access for acute dental conditions — toothache, dental abscess, broken tooth, lost restoration, dental trauma, or other conditions that cause acute pain or functional impairment — as distinct from "emergency dentistry" broadly and from elective restorative or preventive procedures that can be scheduled routinely. The UK Dentistry Urgent Care Clinic provides a distinct access point within the UK dental school's patient care infrastructure for patients who need expedited evaluation and treatment without a prior established patient relationship or advance appointment scheduling — an important access function for Lexington patients experiencing acute dental pain who seek academic dental care rather than or in addition to private emergency dental practices. As with all UK College of Dentistry patient care services, the Urgent Care Clinic operates under faculty supervision of dental students and residents, meaning care is provided in a teaching environment with the corresponding lower fees typical of academic dental care.

UK Dentistry - Urgent Care Clinic provides same-day or expedited dental evaluations and emergency dental treatments for patients in Lexington, Fayette County, and the surrounding central Kentucky communities experiencing acute dental conditions. Emergency and urgent dental services include pain evaluation and management, dental abscess examination and antibiotic therapy or drainage referral, broken tooth assessment and temporary restoration, lost filling or crown emergency re-cementation, dental trauma evaluation (chipped, fractured, avulsed, or luxated teeth), and triage for conditions requiring referral to the UK oral surgery or specialist departments within the dental school's faculty-supervised clinical infrastructure. The UK HealthCare campus location at 800 Rose Street provides access to on-site specialist backup within the UK College of Dentistry for urgent cases requiring immediate specialist consultation or referral.

Rose Street's UK HealthCare campus position provides access from South Limestone Street and the UK campus transit network, from downtown Lexington via Limestone Street, and from the I-75 and I-64 Lexington interchanges. The UK Dentistry at Turfland satellite clinic (2195 Harrodsburg Rd) extends UK dental access to the west Lexington ZIP 40504 community for patients who cannot easily access the Rose Street campus.

For Lexington and central Kentucky patients experiencing acute dental pain or dental emergencies who seek academic dental care, UK Dentistry - Urgent Care Clinic at 800 Rose Street provides expedited dental access within the UK College of Dentistry's faculty-supervised teaching clinic campus.

How to Choose a Dentist in Lexington

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Lexington has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had emergency dentists work done across the Lexington metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Lexington, Kentucky that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for emergency dentists in Lexington, start here.
