After the install of the permanent crown I could immediately tell that my bite was way off. The doctor told me it was fine and that I should come back in a few days if I still thought it was off. I explained that wasn't possible since we were just traveling thru. Now two days later I can't chew solid food because all my bite force is on only one tooth, only one tooth is touching. I now have to go find another dentist to do emergency work to try and fix this. And this is after I already paid $2300 out of pocket after insurance! All the doctor had to do was listen to me when I told him it wasn't right!

A special thank you goes to Katylyn L. for this review and for referring me to this dental office…read more She told me the office was offering gift cards to either the Moose's Tooth or Massage Envy for any new clients that walk in. I have to admit I've never been eager to go to the dental office even if it's just for a cleaning. It was time to see them especially since I had some mild nerve pain in one of my lower teeth and the fact that I haven't been to the dentist's office since 2003 (However, I brush my teeth on a regular basis and I don't smoke so that can be a good excuse for being away for so long). This office is located in a small two-story office building next to Major Marine Tours and across the street from the Carrs shopping center. I came in to the reception area and Michelle gave me a friendly greeting upon entering. I had to take a few minutes to fill out the new client paperwork before starting my dental check-up. The seating area is small and cozy with a TV set along with several magazines and children's books to pass the time while waiting. If you have insurance like Denali Care, they gladly accept this. My card covered the entire cost of the visit which was $231.00. Another good reason to make your dental appointments here. Drs. Andrew Newman and Jennifer Driggs were very friendly and professional upon meeting them for the first time. They addressed all of my concerns regarding questions on my nerve pain and tooth conditions. Dr. Driggs did an outstanding job with the dental cleaning and now I can show off my goofy grin wherever I go. Nichole at the front desk was also very friendly and helpful in setting up my next appointment. Great location in a decent part of town, friendly staff, and definitely recommend to fellow Yelpers for exceptional work. Oh, and don't forget to take advantage of the free gift card!

Glad I got a second opinion who confirmed the procedure was not medically necessary. I wonder if they are pushing these procedures to make more money.

I also read a few horror stories about this place, so I likely will not be returning. I gave an extra star as the employees working the front desk are super friendly.

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.

I came to see Dr. Laurin due to a painful & frightening experience. I had been having some jaw pain…read morethat continued to increase over a few weeks. Along with that symptom, I had a metallic taste in my mouth. I assumed this was a leaking filling as they were quite old. I was examined twice by my previous dentist (feel free to see my other review), with no identification of an issue with my filing. She referred me to a PT for a "lump" in my jaw (I didn't not go) & to an ENT Dr. to "rule out anything serious." At that point (with a lump & her concern), I thought I might have jaw cancer... seriously. The ENT charged me $200 for about 10 minutes to tell me I might be dehydrated (I won't even go into that!). Then I saw Dr. Laurin who quickly diagnosed me with clenching my jaw & a broken & leaking filling. This was discovered by x-rays & pictures & fixed within a week with a crown & a night guard. It has been 4 months & I have NO pain & NO metallic taste. I then learned with my new hygenist, Tess, that it appeared my teeth had not been cleaned in quite a while. I had had them cleaned 2 months prior to this. I had more recession & pocketing of my gums than ever before. I have now been attempting to correct that problem. Very frustrating! Dr. Laurin obviously knows what he is doing. His staff is quick, professional, & very team oriented. Tess is a FABULOUS hygenist! She makes things quick & pain free. She uses magnified eyewear to see the smallest details. She also uses a ultrasonic (or something like that) tool that blasts the plaque away. It takes the place of the scraping tool (though she uses that too to be extra thorough). Now I will recommend to everyone I know, to see Dr. Laurin & Tess as their hygenist.
