We compared 20 dentists in Lexington on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A cracked tooth on a Friday afternoon is a bad time to start researching. The dentists in Lexington on this page hold 5,593 Google reviews between them and every one sits at 4.9 or better, so the real differences come down to hours, emergency access and what each office actually does.

Short answer: Garden Springs Dental leads with 4.9 stars across 1,740 Google reviews, followed by Beaumont Family Dentistry (4.9, 1,374 reviews) and Associated Family Dental Care (4.9, 1,234 reviews). Lange, Rider & Reynolds is the only office at a perfect 5.0, built on 572 reviews. Dental fees vary too much by treatment to quote a single number, so ask each office for a written estimate.

How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated the office, ranked against other Lexington dentists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from more than a thousand people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few hundred. Recency shows how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a dentist cost in Lexington? (2026)

Dental fees depend on the treatment, your insurance plan and whether the office is in network. A cleaning and exam, a filling, a crown and an implant are priced very differently, and cosmetic work such as veneers is usually not covered by insurance. We don’t have sourced Lexington price lists for these offices, so ask each one for a written estimate and your out-of-pocket share before treatment starts.

  • Who will treat me, and does the practice handle implants, root canals or sedation in the office?
  • For multi-visit treatment, can I have the plan and payment schedule in writing?
  • Do you offer evening or early-morning appointments?
