Reviews of Alaska Dental Care (Dentist)

L Dortch

Today I had two fillings and a cleaning. Watched Netflix the whole time. I’ve never laughed at a dental appointment like I did today. Then I got my take home bag with chapstick, and xylitol gum on top of the usuals. I’ll just grab a beverage from the refrigerator before I leave. Guys.. just make an appointment! Oh did I mention the chair had a massage feature?

On 7/2/18, while I was visiting Alaska, I visited Alaska Dental Care for what I believed to be a cracked molar tooth. An x-ray confirmed the tooth was indeed broken at the gum line. The tooth was a previous root canal/crown. Dr. Parks removed the tooth which broke off from what little was holding it in, leaving the roots. He proceeded to remove one of the roots. This by far was the most painful tooth/root extraction I have ever experienced. He concluded his work sending me on my way with a prescription for the appropriate pain medication. However, instead of confirming all the roots were removed with a proper x-ray, he must have felt he was done. I'm not the dentist here but I was leaving my dental health in the hands of who I thought was. I returned home to different state, visiting my regular dentist. After I informed my dentist my mouth was still very tender and that I had taken pain medication for a 5 day period (now 7/16) he immediately took an x-ray, confirming an entire root, intact, protruding from the bone. This root was easily 3mm long. My dentist removed the root, my discomfort diminishing by the minute. I contacted Alaska Dental Care, speaking with Angela. This was the first of several phone calls, one of her comments being that this "happens all the time". Really?? Maybe her comment was due to her experience at this office. She offered no resolution, in fact, she worked hard at distancing herself and Dr. Parks from any liability. I would caution anybody viewing the "rave" feedback if looking for a capable dentist to keep looking. On 8/10/18, I contacted this office again to inquire about my $10 co-pay over payment at time of service. Again, the office manager "Angela" confirmed there was a $10 credit to "my" account. However, up until 8/10, no contact was ever made from Alaska Dental Care personnel to me to refund this overage. Since I don't trust this office and the egregious ethical dealings I've had with them, I refused to give them my CC number. I stated she and her office could keep the $10, as they seem to need it more than I do. Alaska Dental Care proved to be a very poor example to the profession of dentistry.

Gotta comment on these guys. I liked the service. Needed some fillings and spent a lot less than I thought I would. If you're looking for great value on dental work, I'd go with AK Dental Care.

Natali Henry

Kelly was absolutely awesome and so thorough cleaning my teeth with braces. Quality and Honesty is what best describes this place. I am so happy I found it.

Alaska Dental Care was recommended to me 8 years ago and I haven’t stopped going since. The staff are all super friendly and they do a great job. We’ve never had any problems with billing or insurance and they are always good about talking us through anything that’s going on with our teeth or our account. Highly recommended!

Andrea Kincade

I LOVE this place. As far as visiting the dentist goes (which is always an anxious visit for me) I love going here. It is the best dental practice I've ever been to. My entire family goes. My youngest just had his first visit and everything went perfect. All the staff - receptionists, dental hygenists, and doctors are wonderful.

Tuuta Inoke

Great dental office!! Always been on point and they take great care of us. Been with them for over 8years!!

Jason DeLong

I have been using these guys for many years. Fantastic people and sensible care. They are the best.

Douglas Lipinski

Great office. Staff explained charges and coverage in an easy to understand before treatment. Dr. Gardiner takes a pragmatic approach to his practice. Very professional and friendly all the way around.

Adam Harki

I've always had a great experience at this office. I've been a patient of Dr. Gardiner's since 2006, back when I left another Anchorage dentistry office because I kept having doubts about my prior dentist's judgment. Dr. Gardiner earned my trust early and I've never questioned his judgment. The services I have received in the 12 years since switching to Alaska Dental Care include fillings, fluoride treatments, and extractions. I recommend this place and will be a patient as long as I live in Anchorage.

Hannah Velazquez

Friendly staff, evening and weekend hours, and Netflix to watch during your appointment. What more could you ask for?

Wes Smith

I felt so welcomed here and my experience was great from the first appointment to getting my fillings done. Really amazing, kind people work here so make the appointment. I recommend this place to my family and friends all the time. Now I'm making sure to leave a comment so others go here too.

Michael Buzinski

I’ve been going to Alaska Dental Care for 11 years now. My dentist has changed once and my hygienist has changed a couple of times, but no matter who sees me, my care is nothing short of world class. Their facility is state of the art and comfortable with views I’ve never seen from a dentist’s chair. The staff is always friendly and the docs are straightforward, caring, and honest. I recommend Alaska Dental Care every time a get a chance. Keep up the great work!!!

James Smith

Very knowledgeable and have done a great job on my dental work.

Chelsey Hunter

All the staff is amazing!! From the front desk to the back!! Dr. Howard and his assistant were fabulous!!

Brian Cole

This is the right dental office, stop looking, this is it. I switched to Alaska Dental Care almost a decade ago and have been recommending it ever since. They are always prompt, professional, and easy going. At my previous dentists I dreaded my appointments because I was always being "up sold" in the chair and pressured to schedule cosmetic/optional treatments. I have never once felt pressured by anyone at Alaska Dental Care. And the massage chairs are pretty nice, too.

Mallory N.

Best dental care! I always have a pleasant experience coming here for dental needs, the front office staff is always friendly and fun! Dr. Parks is a great dentist as well as support staff of assistants and hygienists. You can watch tv while they work too which is always nice! Highly recommend this office!

Ms Cardoso

The best dentist visit I've had, ever. I'm usually extremely anxious about visiting the dentist, but the team did an excellent job of hearing out my concerns instead of dismissing them. I started anxious but by the end of my almost 2 hour visit, (I was able to get some work done aside from the usual cleanings) I was calm and very pleased. Everyone was very helpful. The dental hygienist and the dentist answered every question in detail and did not make me feel rushed. They're a keeper in my book!

JEANETTE SMART

Great dentist. Very friendly. I wish it wasn't so expensive though.

Camille Miyaoka

I use to dread the dentist, but ever since I came here I don’t mind it! My hygienist is Sookie and she is amazing and makes my appointment fly by! She’s so personable and caring! I would recommend this dentist office for anyone who is looking for a friendly staff, and great experience. Plus you also get great Mountain View’s!

Upon arrival I was anticipating something similar to my previous terrible dental experiences from other offices, this was quite literally the opposite. I must say that the highlight of my visit was my dental hygienist Sue. She explained the procedures and what everything meant in such a way that I now understand more about everything to do with my dental situation than I have from any other trip to a dentist up to this point. She was friendly and welcoming, took my mind off of my worries coming into the appointment with genuine conversation (chompers the friendly office ghost), and I actually walked away from the experience in a 100% better mood than I did coming in. The equipment is up to date, the dental chairs come with an amazing view of the mountains, and the doctor was efficient and knowledgeable. I never expected to leave my appointment smiling, but that is exactly what happened.

Dispatch Greatland

The staff/dentists here are wonderful!! Not only will you have an enjoyable experience at the dentist (who'd of thought that could happen), the quality of work done here can't be beat. The staff makes you feel comfortable, are proficient, understanding and, right up there in expectations, they listen. This office is also "no insurance" friendly and the cash prices charged very reasonable. I highly recommend Alaska Dental Care to any person looking for professional yet welcoming, top-quality, result-oriented dentistry.

Aubrey Day

My Family loves Alaska Dental Care. I bring all 3 of my girls and they love it here. The service is Friendly and nobody pushes anything on us. When I don’t want to do X-rays or fluoride I am able to make the choice when to do so. We respect the hygienist and dentist and they respect us.

Kelly Mullins

Very welcoming place. I went for some information, basically expecting a pamphlet. What I got was a consult literally 5 minutes after I randomly decided to walk in. Everyone was really great, everything was really clean. Can't wait to be a patient with Alaska Dental Care!

Dr Gardiner did a wonderful job replacing my 20 year old Maryland Bridge with newer and stronger products. He took extra care to ensure a good color and shape match to the other existing teeth and put all of my anxieties at ease. The front office staff, billing professionals and dental assistants were all amazing, professional and friendly as well. I highly recommend Alaska Dental Care and will be back with the whole family soon!

Mikhael Marquez

Alaska dental care is the best dental office in town Jazz is the best hygienist I’m a patient for life

Richie Velez

The crew at Alaska Dental Care are awesome! Patient, knowledgeable doctors and a courteous staff make going to the dentist relaxing. Highly recommended!

Sarah Greenwood

Very personable, and inviting atmosphere. Friendly, genuine staff, and down to earth yet professional dentists. Love the massaging dental chair and extra goodies they offer, (lip balm, floss, gum, drinks). Will recommend! UPDATE: If I could give 10 stars I would! I had a crown put on by a different dentist office come off Christmas evening and Dr. Gardiner reached out to me the next day through FB with his cell number, and was able to put my mind at ease and set me up for the following day. I didn't want to go anywhere else to have work done because I am so satisfied and valued with Alaska Dental Care. This is the place to go!

Deborah Hansen

Great place!

Elliot Engelsen

The experience that I have had with Alaska Dental Care is not only the best experience that I've ever seen/received from a dentist, but it rivals the client, patient and customer care of any other establishment, in any industry that I've witnessed. Dr. Howard is a Magician, Angela, MJ, everyone at the front are extemely polite and explain every facet of both your bill and situation to you. I would recommend them to anyone.

Marguerita McManus

Great staff, easy location, excellent treatment. I recommend them to everyone.

James Menge

I started at Alaska Dental Care two years ago. Very impressed with their service and care for their patients. I highly recommend them!
