I finally found a dentist in Anchorage I like!…read more Look on Yelp for Dentist reviews and you'll find a weird situation. Lots of polarization, lots of flagged reviews, it's the wild-wild west out there. I main reasons I decided to check out midtown: - Close to my job (can walk from work) - Accepted by my insurance Another, dumb, reason: it's a pretty cool, modern-looking building. I came here after I experienced hard-selling and fear-mongering tactics at another Dentist. I wanted to get a second opinion. Boy, am I glad I did. Staff here are friendly and professional. Appointments are timely. The lobby is beautiful. You can choose your own music or watch Netflix while you get drilled/scrapped/polished. I had Dr. Adam Jensen for my dentist, he was great. He had a data-driven yet practical approach. I wish I knew he was a peak bagger (just found it out by creeping the website), we'll have so much more to talk about next time!

I've been here twice. I've been seeing a dentist twice per year since as long as I can remember and…read morethis is the only place I've ever been that would not provide a cleaning on the same day I was provided a comprehensive oral exam. 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.

I visited this dentist office for the first time in Oct 2011. I was having some dental pain and…read morethey were able to squeeze me in with Dr. Todd the day I called! The staff was very friendly, the office is very well maintained. The front desk receptionists have great phone etiquette. They even offer several freebies while you are waiting - paraffin hand wax, neck wrap, and a list of more I cannot remember. They accept military insurance which is a plus! They also have a refer a friend program, with the referred friends first visit you both receive a $25 credit or gift card! Which is a wonderful added bonus. I have yet to visit this dentist office where I wasn't completely satisfied with the services offered!

This was my first visit and I don't think I'll be back. Melissa was a doll and great and explaining…read morea few things to me. Dr. Just maybe spent 4 minutes with me. That was super odd especially for a first time patient. I have pretty good teeth and not many concerns but he spent the least amount of time with me. The hygienist Holly is kinda young and quite the chatterbox. I'm not sure she took many breaths. I've never had anyone take 1 full hour to clean my teeth. As you can see I have pretty good teeth. I think if she didn't talk as much it would've been faster. This was a full 2 hour appointment. Even getting a root canal I've never been at a dentist for 2 hours. They "offer" fancy stuff like paraffin Wax, hot wraps, movie glasses. But I say offer lightly. I was offered the hot wrap but nothing else. The massage chair is just an uncomfortable vibration. No thanks. All that has to be paid for somehow. Their prices make getting necessary work done impossible from a cost perspective even with insurance. They're super out of the way too. So nothing about it makes sense to go back. Went on a coworker referral so had much higher hopes. The one good thing is they give you replacement heads for electric toothbrushes which is awesomeness

I'm not from here but my husband is in the military so we are calling this home for a couple of years. It's important to me that I found a place that took military insurance and a place that had good people and good results. I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out and had a cap put on my teeth. They took very good care of me while I was being sedated and after the procedure. I had concerns about my stitches a couple days after I gave them a call and was in the next day. My cap looks like my real tooth it feels and looks so good!

Chiemi and Mary are the hygienists, and both have cleaned my teeth. The experience is both comfortable and thorough. Their Covid precautions are spot on and I never worried about getting sick there. I can't recommend this office highly enough.

I came here for Adam Jensen!…read more He used to be my dentist at Midtown Dental and then he went to start his own thing. I liked that he was even more into the mountains than I was, and that he also knew what he was doing but, even more importantly: was a good communicator. Adam is great at explaining the science and theory behind everything going on with your teeth, and will tell you how much you can expect to pay out of pocket, and even if you should or should not get a procedure. There are no obnoxious scare-tactics or hard-sells here! (a reason I've left dentists in the past) It had been 5 years since I had had a dental visit. And, rather than guilt-trip me, Adam used a data-driven approach based on x-rays and inspection (rather than heresay as at some other Dentists in town) to decide what I needed to make up for this lapse. I needed some pretty extensive scraping, but they helped me break it down into parts. (of my mouth) Melissa had the difficult job of doing one half of my mouth and she made me feel taken care of and comfortable the entire time. All the staff here were warm and friendly. This is such a great dental operation!

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.

Thank God I had a real pain pill at my house because the pain was so bad, if I didn't have some I would have had to go in the street and buy dope.. make sure you get a man doctor because men know that Motrin and Tylenol don't work on other men.. even with the narcotic pain pill I was in agony, God knows how bad it would have been with the stupid Motrin and Tylenol... If you go to this dentist office you better make sure you've got a real narcotic pain pill to take when you finish because they were told by the criminal medical establishment that a pain pill is the devil!!! The sad part is when I saw I had a girl doctor, I pretty much knew what was going to happen... We're all living in girl world and it sucks.. I gave them three stars because they didn't mess anything up and at least I got my tooth out..
