Why families in St. Matthews choose ADC
If you’ve been thinking about a smile makeover, you’ve considered veneers, you’re researching dental implants, or you just want a better experience for your routine cleanings — our St. Matthews office is built for it. Advanced Dental Center on Rudy Lane is ADC’s cosmetic and restorative hub — it’s where founder Dr. Rachel Talis sees most of her smile-makeover, veneer, crown, and implant patients, alongside the full range of general dentistry every family needs. Bonus: when something hurts, we hold same-day emergency slots open every weekday too.
We’re proud to be the kind of dental home St. Matthews actually needs:
- Same-day scheduling for cleanings, emergencies, and check-ups. When something hurts, you shouldn’t have to wait three weeks for an opening.
- Evening + Saturday hours. Monday until 7pm. Saturday until 1pm. Real hours for real schedules — because life doesn’t stop at 5pm.
- Major insurance accepted, in-house membership plan for the uninsured, and flexible financing. No one should put off necessary dental care because of cost.
- A free initial consultation for any cosmetic procedure. Whitening, veneers, Botox — come talk to us before committing to a thing.
- Five locations across Louisville so you have a backup option close to home, work, or school. (St. Matthews, Preston Highway, Brooks Hill, Middletown, and Jeffersontown opening Sept 1, 2026.)
We’re not a corporate dental chain. We’re a family practice founded by Dr. Rachel Talis with 25+ years in Louisville, and the team here in St. Matthews treats every patient like they belong. Welcome to the family.
Meet your St. Matthews dentists
Two of our dentists practice primarily at the St. Matthews / Rudy Lane location:
Dr. Rachel Talis, DMD — Founder & Lead Dentist
A 1996 University of Louisville School of Dentistry graduate with 25+ years of experience, Dr. Talis founded Advanced Dental Center on a simple idea: that a single dental practice should be able to handle everything a family needs — and treat them like family while doing it. She holds advanced training in implant restorations, cosmetic dentistry (smile makeovers, veneers, crowns), and Botox/facial fillers, and is a member of the Louisville Dental Society, Kentucky Dental Association, and American Dental Association. St. Matthews is Dr. Talis’s home base — it’s where most of her cosmetic, restorative, and smile-makeover patients are seen.
Dr. Thu Nguyen, DMD — General Dentist
A Louisville native (originally from Vietnam) and University of Louisville graduate, Dr. Nguyen is known for the kind of compassionate, trust-building care that turns first-time patients into long-term ones. She especially loves working with kids and patients who are nervous about the dentist’s chair. If you’ve been putting off a visit because of past anxiety, she’s the dentist to see.

The St. Matthews neighborhood
Our St. Matthews office sits on Rudy Lane in a quiet shopping center anchored by Fresh Market — about a five-minute drive from Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Mall, just off Brownsboro Road, and easily reachable from the Indian Hills, Crescent Hill, Glenview, Clifton, Brownsboro, and Lyndon neighborhoods we serve.
A few things St. Matthews patients tell us they appreciate:
You can park right at the door. No parking garage, no street meters. Free on-site parking right in front of Suite 4. Pull up, walk in, you’re done with the parking part of the day in under a minute.
Easy in, easy out. From Brownsboro Road, Rudy Lane is a quick turn — straightforward whether you’re coming from the I-264 (Watterson Expressway) ramp, Shelbyville Road, or Frankfort Avenue. Pre-school drop-off at Sacred Heart Academy, Trinity High School, or Waggener High? You can swing by for a cleaning before heading home, and still beat the after-school traffic.
You’re surrounded by what makes St. Matthews, St. Matthews. Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Mall are both within a 5-minute drive on Shelbyville Road. Brown Park and Arthur K. Draut Park are nearby for walks before or after appointments. Restaurants and grocery on every corner. Whether your day in St. Matthews involves a school pickup, a Saturday brunch, or a quick errand at the mall, we make it easy to fit dental care into the rest of your routine.
We see patients from across the eastern suburbs of Louisville too. Indian Hills residents are 4 minutes away. Glenview and Crescent Hill patients are usually here in 7-10 minutes. We have patients who drive in from Lyndon, Clifton, Anchorage, and even further east in the county — because once you find a dental practice that handles everything in one place, the drive stops feeling like a drive.
A note for our newer neighbors: if you’re new to St. Matthews and looking for a family dentist who’ll see kids, parents, and grandparents under the same roof — that’s exactly what we do here. New-patient appointments are usually available within the same week.
