Healthy smiles was recommended to my by a close friend and my alumni. My first impression was made when I called to make an appointment. I explained my delimma to Debbie over the phone and Healthy smiles went above and beyond to assist me. I have a fear of dentist from my past experiences with dentist. Dr Preecewas great. I did not suffer in any way. I am truly appreciative for my positive experience. Healthy Smiles will be my dental place for all of my problems. Thankyou very much!

The team at Healthy Smiles Dental is friendly, polite and caring. I went in for an extraction, and the whole experience went very well. There was so much care taken that even after the extraction I had no pain. My family has a new dentist in town!

What an exceptional dental practice, all the way from the front office to the back. The care and kindness they bestowed on our family was beyond expected and way above the typical dental office. If you are looking for a dental practice, look no further.

Great experience! I went in for a full exam after not being to a dentist in quite some time. I was extremely nervous about soft/painful spots on my teeth being poked and prodded. I also knew I needed a filling. The entire staff was really greathelping to calm my nerves and Dr. Preecedid a great, painless job on my fillings. Highly recommended!

My best experience yet with a dental appointment. Dr. Preece's exam was very professional, thorough and comprehensive. He took his time and explained everything...What was going on with my teeth and what my options were. It had been a few years since my last visit to a dentist so understandably I was very nervous and a little embarrassed, however the Dr. was nonjudgmental and understanding. I would say that it was the first time that I had felt completely relaxed...This coming from a white-knuck

Dr. Preeece & Emily were very professional, caring, and knowledgeable in their field. Being from Va. I had not been to a dentist yet in Alaska and they gave me a lasting positive experience that will keep me coming back as a regular patient. They will throughly explain your options so that you may decide how to best treat your teeth and be happy with your outcome. I highly recommend their office and team and will definitely keep them as my primary dentist in Alaska
