Read full description

Broadway Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is a dental practice on North Broadway in Lexington, offering general dentistry alongside more specific care most patients eventually need. The office sits just north of downtown, convenient for patients across the central city who want cosmetic and restorative work handled close to home. Beyond routine exams and cleanings, many patients eventually want a faster or less invasive way to change how their smile looks, a missing tooth replaced, or a child's dental visits managed at a practice that also treats the rest of the family.

Broadway Family & Cosmetic Dentistry combines general and pediatric dentistry with dental implants, crowns, fillings, and root canal treatment, plus veneers and teeth whitening for patients pursuing a cosmetic change. Snap-On Smile, a removable cosmetic appliance that fits over existing teeth without any drilling or permanent alteration, is the more distinctive piece of what this practice offers, useful for patients who want a different smile appearance without committing to veneers or crowns right away. Sedation dentistry is available for anxious patients, and extractions are handled on-site for patients needing a tooth removed rather than restored.

If you've wanted a different smile but weren't ready to commit to permanent veneers or crowns, a removable option that requires no drilling is a lower-commitment way to see the difference first.

Snap-On Smile cost depends on how many teeth it covers and how it's fitted, so ask for a written estimate before deciding between it and a more permanent cosmetic option like veneers. Dental insurance typically treats it as cosmetic and covers little to none of the cost, while more standard restorative work like fillings and crowns is more likely to see partial coverage, so it's worth confirming with the front desk what applies to your plan. For patients along North Broadway and the surrounding downtown-adjacent neighborhoods, having cosmetic, pediatric, and general dentistry handled at one practice means fewer separate offices to coordinate for a family.

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 July 30, 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.

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 orthodontist in Lexington, start here.
