Alaska Dental Care

I have been coming here for quite some time now. Since the first time I can remember going to the dentist as a little kid, this is the best place I’ve been. I recommend them to everyone, even those who get anxious. I always got very anxious going to the dentist, to the point of anxiety attacks causing episodes of difficulty breathing. I haven’t had any of this issues here.

If you’re looking for a dentist, you owe it to yourself to come check this place out.

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.

After not being at the dentist for 2 years (not my normal) these guys were great. Very clean office, staff extremely friendly, and the who environment was very warm and inviting. I forgot my insurance card and they were able to pull up my information from the back end. Great Service!!

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.

Unbefreakingbelieveable!!! So, I have had a problem for the past 2+ years with my gums bleeding. I floss in the morning and brush 3 times daily with Sensodine tooth paste, and every morning and brushing I have about a tablespoon of fresh blood come from generally all my gum lines.
Also, throughout the day I can taste iron in my mouth, especially when eating that leaves a film on my tongue that I scrape and re-brush several times daily.
My teeth always look fine and are visibly clean and generally nice.
I also have had some gastrointestinal issues of digestion and bloating over the past 2+ years.
My miracle Gastrointestinal Doctor, Dr. Haghighi, was a Dentist prior to becoming a Gastrointeroligist, and on my last visit suggested I see a dentist for a thorough exam when I explained my teeth bleeding issue. Your unhealthy teeth can also play a factor in your gastrointestinal health.
I had a bad experience with a Dentist that was overstressed due to a legal mediation/arbitration with his former landlord due to overcharging him and the cost of his new multi-use megabuilding on Tudor, and related vacancy during the beginning of Covid-19 I'm guessing. He got stressed, made a mistake of crowns v. bridge, and things just got awkward, and he kinda blew on me when I asked for mor novacain when he was resting in another room,, so I just decided to stay away from that situation.
So, long story short: I saw a Facebook post from a friend that was moving to this office as a manager. It was an exam, xray, and teeth cleaning special. I made the appointment and the Dental Hygenist, Mia, ended up doing a deep cleaning under my gum line after Dr. Parks politely and with genuine non-stressed care for my health reviewed my x-rays and gave me an exam.
It's now 2 days later, and I HAVE NOT HAD ONE DROP OF BLOOD or FILM ON MY TONGUE!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! My stomach is feeling a bit better as well. Thank you Dr. Parks and Mia.

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.

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!

I was in so much pain with my tooth and they got me in right away. I have been to so many dentists and Endo’s and oral surgeons in my life time and have never had such a pleasant visit. Starting at the front desk, she was very inviting and actually made me laugh when I was In so much pain. The DA was also very friendly and made sure I was comfortable and attentive to my pain. Dr. Gardener talked me through everything even while he was numbing me. Very gentle and took his time. This office is amazing!!!!!!! Anyone who is scared of the dentist like me GO SEE them!!! You will feel much more confident. The best staff at ADC hands down.

I’ve been afraid of the dentist my entire life, but I knew I needed some work done on my teeth it took me seven months to work up the nerve to make the appointment. I am SO GLAD I did! Dr. Parks was amazing, as were all the other staff members. Totally painless, and now my smile is looking good again :)

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.
