I went specifically for a cleaning but was told I had to come back. By this point, I had already invested my time and effort and I went back for the following reasons: - I liked Dr. Tudor - The office was clean, inviting and full of modern equipment. I've now been here for two cleanings and have been attended to by the same hygienist, who is very thorough. You know you got a good cleaning when you leave with some pain (good pain)! Except on my last visit, she nearly chipped my tooth by pulling out the reflection mirror too quickly (bad pain). I'll be back, mainly because I don't feel like searching for yet another new dentist and also because I do feel like they are honest. I inquired about both whitening and Invisalign and they advised I did not need either.

As someone who has avoided a dentist's office for 32 years, due to utter terror, i would say that…read moreTurnagain Dental are able to deal with the wimpiest of patients. Due to my avoidance of dental offices, i had 4 broken molars, where pieces had been crumbling off for the past few years, and it was only due to the fact that i started experiencing pain, that i forced myself to go. I had toothache, not agonizing, but moderate, for 5 full months before i plucked up the courage to call and make an appointment, and i was utterly terrified, let me tell you. I had my initial exam, and i was shaking in the chair. Having avoided treatment for 32 years comes with consequences, and as such i needed 5 fillings in my upper teeth, and the 4 broken molars - Dr. Kennedy recommended extraction under IV sedation, for which i was referred to Anchorage Oral and Implant Surgery. I was to come in the following day for my fillings, and i was told to come at 10, for a pre-med, as i had asked for one. By the time i went for the appointment at 10, i was somewhat calmer, and told Jordynn, i didn't think i needed the pre-med. She said I'd still be given the Nitrous Oxide, and as I didn't need the pre-med, i was to return at 11am, which I did. I had the Nitrous, and a couple of injections in my upper gums -- nice that they put a numbing jelly on, prior to injecting. However, the REAL injection - the one that prevented me from returning for treatment for 32 years, is the one that gets injected right into the hinge of your jaw, and feels like an electric shock - i was not required to have that one, fortunately. Dr Kennedy was very fast with my 5 fillings that i needed. It was all over with in less than an hour. A couple of weeks following the offending molars being extracted, i called the office, and asked when i needed to come in, and start work on a partial denture. Jordynn told me i needed to get my deep cleaning first. I was actually quite horrified when she mentioned that a deep cleaning requires numbing also. I did not know this, and i of course Googled what a deep cleaning entailed, and was even more anxious to read that they're going to use an ultrasonic THING to go below the gumline and break up calculus, that had been building for 32 years. Gross. I made my appointment and Erin was the hygienist. She did an examination where she went around prodding and dictating into a program, how receding my gums were. And then got started. To be fair, the upper right hand side of my teeth went fairly ok, and i couldn't really feel much, but it was very lengthy, took an hour and a half, and i believe the calculus was quite difficult to break down. We scheduled a second visit for the upper left, and this was more unpleasant. Erin had ordered a product containing sulphuric acid to help break down the calculus. SO that was a little less work. But 3 of the teeth refused to numb (And i had the maximum anesthetic, i think i had 6 or 7 in my gums and another 2 in the roof of my mouth) but these 3teeth just wouldn't numb for some reason. Anyway, we got them done, despite me jumping frequently. The bottom teeth - i had 1 wisdom tooth left on the left side - Erin came at me with the syringe, and. Stopped her and said "Is that THE injection?" Meaning the horrible one into jaw hinge. I told her, THAT injection had stopped me coming to dentist for 32 years. She said ok, and gave me gum injections instead, and it was fine, it didn't hurt. I had some sensitivity with my 2 bottom front teeth but we got there in the end. She is thorough, and the difference in my teeth (I was a former smoker, the backs of my teeth were brown, but are now white) is EPIC. I 100% recommend Erin, and Turnagain Dental, if you're a wimp like me.

I had the best, most thorough teeth cleaning in my life here. It was amazing. She did not rush and took her sweet time. 5 stars. My dentist actually sat down and talked with me for a good 20 minutes. He even talked about preventative care and my 5, 10, 20 year plan. Just so I would be aware that maybe in 10 years, I will need a crown. So, I guess I can start saving now - ha. I chatted with them on my tooth sensitivities and he gave me some prescription toothpaste on the house to try out. That was super nice. So, if you are looking for a nice place that takes their time with patients, come here. They have high Yelp reviews for a reason.

When scheduling for my check up 6 month later, does anyone really know what time and day they'll be available in six months. Well of course we schedule anyways and then two months before hand I see if I can change it. The lady says they're booked out till August. So if I cancel my March appointment, it will be a full year before I'm seen again. I think this is common in Anchorage. We don't have enough dentist that they're booked out a whole year? The lady couldn't really help me and I didn't wanna cancel so I just left it. I have to remember to call them if I can't go so I don't get charged $50. Seems a little ridiculous. The dentist also had a tremor when he was doing my filling. I don't know if that's an everyday thing or what, but I was a little nervous.

I've been coming to Huffman Family Dentistry for a while and have enjoyed my experience over time…read morebut most recently, one of the receptionist, Patty, was very short and rude. Called me the day prior to confirm my appointment and I recall our conversation juggling between the idea of putting me on a short list and pushing me out to May 2026 or me potentially making the appointment if i could make it work. Towards the end of our conversation, Patty hung up on me and I was left with the assumption that I was being rescheduled to May 2026 and placed on a short list. The next day, I received a call from Patty asking if I was going to make my appointment. Confused by the call because I was under the impression that I was being rescheduled to May 2026 and didn't get any clarity on the appointment because i was hung up on. Even when trying to make the appointment that Patty said i was still able to make, I wasn't able to be seen and was charged a $50 dollar fee due to a misunderstanding. Several times during my interaction with Patty i said, "I really think this is a misunderstanding" but she unprofessionally would say, "I don't think so" or "the last thing you said is you'd be here". But again, because I was hung up on, I was unsure of what the agreement was. The last thing I recall was I was being rescheduled to May. Customers aren't always right, but they should always feel heard. I wasn't trying to make an excuse, I simply was trying to explain my side of the misunderstanding but I was dismissed. Again, the staff here is always great and this was my first time interacting with Patty. Just wasn't the best experience compared to my prior visits to Huffman Family Dentistry.

The office was nice, the people were nice, the scheduling was very flexible, so when I finally became insured, I knew my teeth weren't in good shape, but I made an appointment to start what was sure to be a long dental journey. Boy was I wrong. The first thing was the cleanliness, or lack of. The chair/area I was seated in, was VERY dirty. The overhead light was completely covered with, IDK what you call it, when you floss and flecks of debris fly out of your mouth and hit the mirror, I am sure it has an official name, but whatever it is called, the light looked like it hadn't been wiped or washed in quite a long time. But then the hygienist kept touching the light to move it around, then kept putting her fingers in my mouth, to take an X-ray. And I know it must be a real pain to change gloves constantly, but you cannot go into the other room, use the computer and the keyboard, adjust the light, and touch God knows what else, and then put your fingers in my mouth. I was horrified and kept thinking to myself, this cannot be normal. The worst part, and the reason for the tears, was that I had been looking forward to going to the dentist for awhile. I had a few problems with different teeth, I definitely needed a cleaning, and I had very recently lost one of my front teeth in an accident, so I was very eager to make a plan for that. When the dentist came into the room, after looking at my X-rays, I was told that all they could and would do, is pull all of my teeth and give me dentures. I was in no way prepared to hear this news, and it very much devastated me. I asked about fixing the one missing tooth, and was told insurance wouldn't pay for it, since apparently dentures seemed to be my only option. But if I wanted to pay for it myself, I was quoted $1400. And that was it. No cleaning? Nope, not going to waste time cleaning your teeth when we are just going to rip them all out. Sadly, my experience was not at all was I had expected. My husband still goes, and has no problem. But me and my teeth have moved on to a place that let me keep my teeth.
