Patients looking for a dentist in Lexington, KY will have a new option for their dental and denture care needs when an Aspen Dental office opens its doors at 3695 Nicholasville Road on Thursday, July 29. The new dental practice will provide services that range from preventative care to general dentistry to restoration, with affordable payment plan options. This is the fourth Aspen Dental office in Kentucky.

In addition to offering patients the choice of eight different styles of Aspen Dental’s exclusive ComfiDents® brand full and partial dentures, the new practice will provide comprehensive dental exams, hygiene services, treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work. The office features state-of-the-art Kodak Dental Systems digital radiography products to better diagnose and treat patients, as well as Vizilite Plus®, which uses a blue-light, “glowstick” technology to detect oral cancer at its earliest stage.

Aspen Dental will be open extended hours, including select Saturdays. To ensure that patients can get the care they need, the office offers affordable fees, a wide range of flexible payment plan options and works with all insurance providers. Walk-in patients and those with emergencies are welcome.

Dr. Thad Carter, who will serve as lead dentist, received his DMD degree from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry.

To make an appointment, call 859-272-0130 or 800-ASPEN DENTAL. As an added convenience, patients can schedule their visit online by going to www.aspendent.com and clicking on “Make an Appointment.”

Wide Range of Options for Denture Patients

Aspen Dental’s ComfiDents® full and partial dentures come in eight different styles, giving patients more diverse and affordable options than are available at traditional dental practices. Patients can choose from dentures manufactured using two different technologies: heat-injection, which uses high pressure and heat with the highest quality materials to ensure the most precise fit available; and cold-pour, the traditional method that uses fiber acrylic. Regardless of which denture style patients choose, Aspen Dental doctors work with each patient to ensure proper fit and comfort.

As an added convenience to denture patients, the Lexington office will have its own on-site denture laboratory, which typically ensures same-day turnaround for select new dentures, denture repairs, relines or adjustments.

To help encourage patients to take the first step toward good oral health, Aspen Dental offers free new-patient exams to patients who do not have the benefit of insurance; free denture consultations for all denture patients; special promotions and senior discounts.
