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 came here based off of Yelp reviews. I have been looking for a dentist for a while now, someone…read morethat isn't trying to make money off of me, but truly cares about me and my teeth. 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.

    I've been going to Mint Dental since 2018 and it's been a consistent experience overall. The front…read moredesk is easy to work with, especially for scheduling and insurance questions. I had my wisdom teeth removed here and the healing was quicker than I expected. I've also seen a few different providers and everyone has been kind and informative. They're good about explaining things--I've picked up better flossing habits over time. Cleanings are straightforward, fluoride is quick, and the view during appointments is a nice bonus. This office has been a really reliable place for dental care which is why I've stayed with them for so long.

    I left in tears. Although I was not previously a patient, (due to no insurance), my husband was,…read moreand this seemed like a great place to go for dental needs. 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.
