We believe a visit to the dentist should feel nothing like one. From digital X-rays and 3D scanning to our signature sedation options, every procedure is designed around your comfort — gentle, effective, and unhurried.
This isn't an ordinary practice. Our founder emeritus, Dr. Anthony Feck, co-founded the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation and personally trained more than 10,000 dentists across North America — the standard for comfortable dentistry was shaped here, and it still defines everything we do.
From little smiles to grown-up grins, the whole family is cared for under one roof — routine cleanings, advanced cosmetic dentistry, and full restorative care, all in a calm and welcoming space.
Sedation dentistry isn't a service we offer. It's who we are. The Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation — the body that set the safety standard for sedation dentistry across North America — was co-founded by our own Dr. Anthony Feck. Dentists fly in from around the country to learn what our patients experience every day.
If fear has kept you out of the chair for years, you are exactly who this practice was built for. Every sedation plan is tailored to you, carefully monitored from the moment you sit down to the moment you're smiling on your way out. It's why the door on Wellington Way reads Central Kentucky Center for Sedation and Implant Dentistry.
"Listening is our greatest skill. When we truly hear your hopes and your fears, we can provide the kind of dental care that changes lives."

Patient of the practiceThis is exactly what we're known for. Our founder co-founded the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation and trained over 10,000 dentists in safe, comfortable sedation — anxious patients aren't a special case here, they're our specialty. Many tell us their visit felt like a calm, dream-like rest. One shared: "I actually enjoy visiting the dentist at Dental Wellness — a first for me."
Nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") is breathed through a soft mask — it eases mild anxiety within minutes, and wears off almost immediately, so you can drive yourself home. IV sedation delivers a much deeper, dream-like relaxation in seconds; you remain responsive but most patients remember little to nothing. Your doctor will recommend the right level for your comfort and your procedure.
Three simple things: arrange for a trusted friend or family member to drive you home, avoid eating or drinking for at least six hours before your visit, and wear loose, comfortable clothing so our monitoring equipment fits easily. We'll walk you through everything when you book.
Comprehensive care for the whole family — preventive checkups and cleanings, cosmetic dentistry including whitening, veneers and Invisalign, and full restorative work: crowns, bridges, dental implants, implant dentures and All-on-4. We also provide periodontal therapy, root canals, and dentures & partials — with sedation available for any of it.
Yes — dental pain doesn't keep office hours, and we make room to see you promptly. Call (859) 223-4644 and our team will get you in as quickly as possible.
There's a reason anxious patients from across the Bluegrass end up in our chairs. Whether it's maintaining your smile or transforming it — this is where you'll finally look forward to the dentist.
