Read full description

Advanced Dental Center is located at 8517 Preston Highway in Okolona, a Louisville Metro neighborhood in the south end of Jefferson County, Kentucky — a general dental practice on Preston Highway in one of Louisville's established suburban communities south of the Watterson Expressway (I-264). Preston Highway (U.S. Route 31E) runs south from downtown Louisville through Okolona and on to Shepherdsville and Bardstown, and the 8517 address sits in the Okolona commercial zone where the highway's character is defined by neighborhood-serving businesses, auto-related services, and professional offices catering to Okolona's working-class and middle-class residential community. Okolona takes its name from a former independent community that was annexed by Louisville Metro over the decades, retaining a distinct neighborhood identity within the sprawling Louisville Metro government area that consolidated city and county in 2003. Jefferson County ZIP code 40219 encompasses Okolona's core residential and commercial zones.

Advanced Dental Center provides comprehensive general dental care for adults and families in Okolona and the surrounding south Louisville Metro communities. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — tooth-colored fillings, dental crown restorations, and denture fabrication — for patients managing dental health in this established Louisville neighborhood. The practice name "Advanced" signals a commitment to modern dental techniques and equipment, distinguishing the practice from more traditional solo offices by suggesting investment in current clinical technology appropriate for a Louisville Metro market that includes both established neighborhood practices and newer multi-specialty group models.

Preston Highway's Okolona position connects to the wider Louisville Metro dental market via the Watterson Expressway interchange and the Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265), giving Okolona-based patients access to specialist orthodontic, periodontic, and oral surgery providers throughout Jefferson County. South Louisville's dental market is active, with multiple independent and chain dental practices serving the Preston Highway, Outer Loop, and Fern Creek corridors of Louisville Metro's southern residential communities. The I-65 corridor to Shepherdsville in Bullitt County provides additional patient access from the south.

For Okolona and south Louisville Metro families seeking general dental care on Preston Highway, Advanced Dental Center at 8517 provides comprehensive dentistry in a well-positioned Okolona location on one of Louisville's major south-north commercial spines.

Closed · Opens Monday at 10 AM

Periodontics isn't listed directly on profile, but this Louisville clinic is documented for general dentistry across 6 services.

Read full description

Moore Smiles is located at 4600 Taylorsville Road in Louisville, Kentucky — a general dental practice on the Taylorsville Road commercial corridor of east Louisville, Jefferson County ZIP 40220. Taylorsville Road (KY-155) runs northeast from Louisville's Hikes Point and Stony Brook area through the east Louisville residential and commercial zones toward Jeffersontown, and the 4600 address in ZIP 40220 places Moore Smiles in the Hikes Point and east Louisville section of Taylorsville Road — the same ZIP as Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics at 2317 Stony Brook Drive, which provides specialist orthodontic services in the same east Louisville area. "Moore Smiles" is a practice name that combines the practitioner's "Moore" surname with the evocative "Smiles" brand suffix — one of the most common dental branding conventions, used by practices across the country to signal a positive, aesthetically attentive clinical identity. The "Moore" name has dual resonance — either the founding dentist's surname or a phonetic reference to "more" smiles, creating an intentional brand ambiguity. ZIP 40220's east Louisville Hikes Point and Stony Brook residential community is an established inner-to-middle ring residential zone with working-class and working-professional household demographics, where general dental practices provide core preventive and restorative care for the east Louisville community.

Moore Smiles provides general dental care for adults and families in the Hikes Point, Stony Brook, and east Louisville communities of ZIP 40220. 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 east Louisville residential neighborhood served by the Taylorsville Road commercial corridor. Taylorsville Road's ZIP 40220 section provides commercial visibility and vehicle access from the Hikes Point residential community, from the Bardstown Road corridor to the south, and from the I-264 (Watterson Expressway) interchanges that connect east Louisville to Louisville Metro's highway network. The "Smiles" branding suggests a practice that emphasizes positive patient experience and cosmetic awareness alongside core general dental services.

Taylorsville Road's east Louisville position provides access from I-264's east Louisville exits, from the Hikes Point commercial corridor running east-west through ZIP 40220, and from the residential streets of the Stony Brook and Seneca Gardens communities. Patients needing orthodontic care in ZIP 40220 can access Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics on Stony Brook Drive for specialist braces and aligner treatment in the same east Louisville neighborhood.

For Hikes Point, Stony Brook, and east Louisville ZIP 40220 patients seeking general dental care on Taylorsville Road, Moore Smiles at 4600 provides community dentistry in the Hikes Point commercial corridor, alongside Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics as a specialist partner in the same ZIP 40220.

# C, 2015, Herr Lane, Louisville, Kentucky

Closed · Opens Monday at 8 AM

Orthodontics focus in Louisville; periodontics is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 2 services on file.

Read full description

Ahrens Orthodontics Louisville is located at Suite C of 2015 Herr Lane in Louisville, Kentucky — a specialist orthodontic practice in the east-end Louisville community near the I-264 (Watterson Expressway) interchange at Herr Lane, serving the established residential communities of Louisville's eastern suburbs as one of two locations operated by the Ahrens Orthodontics practice, the second being the Taylorsville Road location in Taylorsville, Spencer County. Herr Lane runs from the Watterson Expressway (I-264) northward through the Springhurst/Lyndon area toward Brownsboro Road, connecting Louisville's eastern suburban commercial zones with the residential neighborhoods of Lyndon, Hollyvale, and the communities approaching the Jefferson County/Oldham County border. The "Ahrens" surname carries German heritage common in Louisville's mid-19th century German-American immigration wave — Louisville's German community was one of the largest in the antebellum United States, and German family names remain prominent throughout Louisville Metro's professional and civic life.

Ahrens Orthodontics Louisville provides comprehensive orthodontic treatment for children, adolescents, and adults in Louisville's east end and surrounding eastern Jefferson County communities. Orthodontic services include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligner therapy (Invisalign and equivalent systems) for the full range of malocclusion, crowding, spacing, and bite issues that require specialty orthodontic intervention. The Ahrens practice's dual-location structure — Louisville and Taylorsville — extends its patient catchment into Spencer County and the southeastern Jefferson County communities that fall between the two offices, serving a broad geographic base through coordinated treatment scheduling between locations.

The Herr Lane location's proximity to the I-264/I-64 interchange system provides access from the East End neighborhoods of St. Matthews, Middletown, and Prospect to the north and from the Fern Creek and Hikes Point communities to the south. Patients who live closer to the Taylorsville Road office in Spencer County can receive treatment from the same Ahrens practice at the Taylorsville location, creating treatment flexibility across two geographically complementary offices. Long-term orthodontic retention requires regular retainer monitoring, making Ahrens Orthodontics a consistent presence in patients' dental lives beyond active treatment.

For east Louisville and eastern Jefferson County patients seeking specialist orthodontic care, Ahrens Orthodontics Louisville at 2015 Herr Lane provides comprehensive alignment treatment with the added convenience of a sister practice at the Taylorsville Road location in Spencer County.

Louisville clinic with a general dentistry specialty that covers periodontics by implication, across 6 documented services.

Read full description

Breckenridge Dental Care is located at Suite 107 of 3348 Hikes Lane in the Hikes Point neighborhood of east Louisville, Kentucky — a general dental practice in one of Louisville's established older east-end communities in Jefferson County ZIP 40220. Hikes Point is a Louisville neighborhood anchored by the Hikes Lane corridor and named for the William Hikes family, whose farmland in this area became one of Louisville's earlier east-end residential developments in the mid-20th century. The Hikes Lane commercial strip serves as Hikes Point's main business corridor, with independent retail, restaurants, and professional services catering to the neighborhood's stable working-class and middle-class residential community. "Breckenridge" in the practice name references the Breckenridge area of east Louisville — Breckenridge Lane and the Breckenridge/Douglass neighborhood are located nearby, and the "Breckenridge" name may signal the practice's connection to the broader east Louisville community or refer to the founding practitioner's association with that area.

Breckenridge Dental Care provides general dental care for adults and families in Hikes Point, the Breckenridge area, and the surrounding east Louisville communities of Jeffersontown, Fern Creek, and the broader Jefferson County ZIP 40220 corridor. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — tooth-colored fillings and crown restorations — for patients managing routine dental health in an established Louisville east-end neighborhood. The Suite 107 designation at 3348 Hikes Lane indicates a multi-suite professional building appropriate for a dental practice serving the walk-in and appointment-based patient base of a neighborhood commercial street.

Hikes Lane's Hikes Point position provides accessibility from the Bardstown Road corridor to the west and from the I-264 (Watterson Expressway) interchange at Hikes Lane/Poplar Level Road to the north, giving the practice good accessibility from multiple east Louisville communities. The Hikes Point neighborhood's stable residential character supports neighborhood-embedded dental practices that serve long-term household relationships over years and decades. Louisville Metro's east-end specialist dental network — orthodontics at Herr Lane and Ahrens Orthodontics, oral surgery at multiple east Louisville locations — is accessible from the Watterson Expressway interchange near Hikes Point.

For Hikes Point and east Louisville families seeking general dental care on Hikes Lane, Breckenridge Dental Care at Suite 107 provides neighborhood-embedded general dentistry in one of Louisville's well-established older east-end communities.

General Dentistry focus in Louisville; periodontics is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 1 services on file.

Read full description

Community Dental Care of Kentucky - Louisville is located at 3438 Taylor Boulevard in Louisville, Kentucky — a community dental practice on the Taylor Boulevard corridor of south Louisville in Jefferson County ZIP 40215, serving a population that benefits from accessible, affordably priced dental care in one of Louisville Metro's working-class south-side communities. Taylor Boulevard (U.S. Route 31W) runs south from downtown Louisville through the Iroquois Park area toward the Bullitt County line, and the 3438 address sits in the south Louisville commercial zone serving the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Iroquois Park — one of Frederick Law Olmsted's great Louisville park designs — lies nearby, giving the Taylor Boulevard corridor a strong park-adjacent neighborhood identity that mixes residential stability with the community service infrastructure typical of south Louisville's established neighborhoods.

Community Dental Care of Kentucky provides accessible dental services for Louisville's south-side communities including patients with Medicaid coverage, lower-income households, and families seeking affordable dental access in a Jefferson County community where the patient demographics include a significant proportion of uninsured or underinsured residents. The "Community Dental Care of Kentucky" organizational name suggests a statewide network or mission-driven dental organization — consistent with the Madisonville location using the same "Community Dental Care" branding — that prioritizes accessible dental care for underserved populations across multiple Kentucky communities. Core dental services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures at pricing calibrated for community access rather than market-rate dental fees.

Taylor Boulevard's south Louisville position provides TARC bus transit access along the Route 31W corridor and vehicle accessibility from I-65's south Louisville interchange and from the Outer Loop and Preston Highway connections serving Jefferson County's south end. The south Louisville community's dental needs are also served by the University of Louisville's School of Dentistry (ULSD) on the Health Sciences Campus, which provides dental education and community dental care for Louisville's patient population. Specialist dental referrals for complex needs point to the Louisville metro's full dental specialist network.

For south Louisville and Jefferson County patients seeking accessible community dental care on Taylor Boulevard, Community Dental Care of Kentucky at 3438 provides dental services with the community access model appropriate for working-class south-side Louisville neighborhoods.

DentalWorks Louisville - Cedar Springs is located at 6826 Bardstown Road in the Cedar Springs area of Louisville, Kentucky — a location of the DentalWorks national dental chain on the far southern stretch of Bardstown Road in the Fern Creek neighborhood of Jefferson County ZIP 40291. Bardstown Road is one of Louisville Metro's most celebrated commercial corridors, but the 6826 address represents the commercial southern end of Bardstown Road far removed from the famous Highlands/NuLu arts corridor that defines the road's northern cultural identity — at this southern distance, Bardstown Road functions as a straightforward suburban commercial arterial serving the Fern Creek, Hikes Point, and Cedar Springs residential communities of southeast Louisville. DentalWorks is a multi-location dental group operating numerous practices across the United States, bringing a standardized, professionally managed dental experience with extended hours, insurance acceptance breadth, and consistent clinical protocols to the Louisville suburban dental market.

DentalWorks Louisville - Cedar Springs provides comprehensive general dental care for adults and families in the Fern Creek, Hikes Point, and southeast Louisville communities. The DentalWorks model — characteristic of professionally managed multi-location dental groups — typically encompasses comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, restorative procedures (fillings, crowns, bridges), tooth whitening, and cosmetic dental services delivered by employed dentists within a corporate dental practice framework. Multi-location dental groups like DentalWorks offer consistent operating hours including evening and weekend appointments, multiple insurance plan acceptance, and a standardized patient experience across locations — advantages that attract patients who prioritize scheduling convenience and insurance compatibility over the continuity of a named solo practitioner relationship.

Bardstown Road's southern Cedar Springs section in ZIP 40291 provides access from the Fern Creek residential neighborhoods to the east, the Hikes Point commercial corridor to the west, and the Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265) interchange that connects southeast Louisville to the broader Jefferson County metro. Southeast Louisville's growing residential population supports multiple dental practices along this stretch of Bardstown Road and the adjacent Taylorsville Road and Fern Creek Road corridors. Specialist dental referrals for complex procedures are accessible within the DentalWorks network or through Louisville Metro's independent specialist dental providers.

For Fern Creek, Cedar Springs, and southeast Louisville patients seeking a national chain general dental experience with broad insurance acceptance and extended hours on Bardstown Road, DentalWorks Louisville - Cedar Springs at 6826 provides professionally managed dental care on the suburban southern end of Louisville's iconic commercial corridor.

Derby City Pediatric Dentistry

4.9(206)·24 km from Louisville Downtown
82Smyleee

2407, Bush Ridge Drive, Louisville, Kentucky

Closed · Opens Monday at 8 AM

Louisville clinic with a pediatric dentistry specialty that covers periodontics by implication, across 3 documented services.

Read full description

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.

How to Choose a Dentist in Louisville

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

Louisville 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 Louisville, 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 periodontist in Louisville, start here.
