Dr. Preece was so down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and took a genuine interest in his patient's dental health. There's a reason all of his reviews are 5-star! From start to finish, he made me feel at ease, taking the time to ask pertinent questions and elaborate upon dentistry topics I was curious about. I never felt rushed or like an inconvenience (even though my appointment was over the lunch hour!) The dental assistants and receptionist were all very kind and welcoming also. Being new to Anchorage, I feel like I lucked out finding this dental office.

Healthy Smiles is the best dental office I've been to. The desk staff, dental assistants, hygienists, and Dr Preece are friendly, helpful, and effective.
Before I went to Healthy Smiles, I had another dental office here in Anchorage. During one appointment at the old dental office, I had arrived 10 minutes early; I checked in with the front desk and then used the bathroom for 30 seconds to brush my teeth, and then I sat in the waiting room. My appointment time came and went, so I approached the front desk a second time and asked if they were running late. They looked at me wide-eyed and said they

Dr. Preece and his staff were super thorough, pleasant, and professional; I would recommend this practice to anyone. Once inside the doors the practice is modern looking and well equipped. Scheduling was easy, the front office staff was polite and I was seen right on time. The dental assistant was a ball of sunshine and knew her job well. Dr. Preece was gentle and thorough and kept the experience positive. Checkout was a breeze. Great experience all around!

I went to see Dr. Preece for my semi-annual dental check up. The receptionist greeted me right away and handled the insurance with ease. The hygienist did an amazing job cleaning my teeth; gentle and thorough. Dr. Preece put me at ease right away with his kind words and easy manner. He gave me a clean bill of teeth health, gave me some options for my retainer and sent me on my way with a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. I am grateful to have found such a great dentist practice!
