We are world class, nestled right here in Lexington, KY. From one of the top 25 dentists in the nation to handpicked teams of doctors, hygienists, surgeons and dental specialists we create natural, beautiful, and healthy smiles which function with optimal comfort and durability.Our main focus is on aesthetics that function phenomenally. Our philosophy is, function follows form. We pay very close attention and detail to the form of the teeth and occlusion (bite) as well as how muscles, teeth, and joints work together.

The initial evaluation of our patients is extensive. This is a crucial part of the process to restore and enhance a healthy smile. Many diagnostic tools are required to develop a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance, while simultaneously building proper function. A fundamental of our practice is that when function is correct, dental restorations will last longer and be more comfortable.

The health and comfort of your mouth are important in the everyday consumption of food and communicating with others. Pain or discomfort in your mouth can interrupt your life and become a major inconvenience. We want your beautiful smile to be healthy and long-lasting. We will strive to provide you with good oral health in a comfortable environment. We look to establish trust and long-lasting relationships with each and every one of our patients. Your individual needs are important to us, and we will use our state of the art technologies and years of expertise to address your unique issues.

My name is Kelly Warren and I grew up in Edgewood, KY. I attended Transylvania University where I met my husband Chaz, a Georgetown native. After graduating from dental school, Chaz and I moved to Birmingham, AL where he completed a medical residency and fellowship. We have recently moved back home to Kentucky with our one year old daughter, Stella, and are so thankful to be close to loved ones.

Moving has allowed me the opportunity to share my passion for dentistry with a whole new set of patients. I am always trying to improve my skills and remain on the cutting edge of our profession, which drives me to pursue numerous continuing education courses and workshops. Moreover, I was blessed over the past five years to work in a technologically focused dental office. Dentistry has experienced an exciting amount of growth in this area and I am truly excited to offer the conveniences of digital dentistry to our patients.

Outside of work and being a mom to Stella, I enjoy being active in cycling, pilates, and hiking. My husband and I love to travel and have been fortunate to have shared in some fun adventures abroad. I enjoy learning new skills and creating new experiences with loved ones. I currently have plans to start a garden to share with Stella and have been enjoying learning about that process.
