Healthy Smiles Dental, a dental clinic in Anchorage, Alaska, has announced with pride that they have a brand new, state-of-the-art office that ensures patients are comfortable and feel at ease. They provide many amenities and technologies to ensure that patients have a pleasant dental experience. These include massaging, heated dental chairs, blankets, neck pillows, movies, a super effective topical anesthetic, stereo headphones, the Wand computerized anesthesia system, and digital x-rays. Dr. Terry J. Preece is happy to be able to serve the dental needs of people in Anchorage and Eagle River, Alaska.

Dr. Preece says, "I have over 35 years of experience providing comprehensive, full-care dentistry. I have dedicated my career to helping my patients achieve excellent oral health, have a beautiful smile that they can confidently share with others and feel completely relaxed and comfortable while receiving care. I have honed my skills in cosmetic dentistry and smile design, complex and comprehensive dentistry and I offer three levels of sedation for apprehensive patients."

Ensuring the comfort of his patients is a primary goal for Dr. Preece. In line with this, he offers sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm and relaxed. He assures patients that he takes the time to listen to patients and ensures that the dental care he provides is fitted for each individual.

Another focus of Healthy Smiles Dental is to ensure that dental care is affordable. In line with this, Dr. Preece and his staff try to educate patients to help them understand why dental disease can occur and how to prevent it. This is because it is less expensive to prevent a problem than to treat it. A key program of the clinic is therefore to help all guests become healthy through an economical maintenance program. They also cooperate with most insurance plans and have the expertise in helping patients get the maximum benefit from the premiums they have paid. They also offer several financing options to ensure that patients will be able to afford their treatment.

The dentist in Anchorage offers comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services. These include smile design, dental implants, porcelain crowns and bridges, tooth colored fillings, teeth whitening, porcelain and composite resin veneers, teeth contouring, direct bonding, restoration of chipped teeth, gum contouring, premium esthetic dentures, and closing of gaps and spaces. All of these are designed to boost people's self-confidence and success in their work because they have a beautiful smile.

As previously mentioned, Dr. Preece offers sedation dentistry to ensure that a patient is calm and relaxed. This involves medications but it can also involve suggestions made to the subconscious. There are different levels of sedation and different methods of inducing sedation. In general, there are three ways of inducing sedation: nitrous oxide gas or laughing gas, which is the most common way of dental sedation; oral conscious sedation, which requires the patient to take certain pills; and IV sedation, which provides deeper sedation.

Naturally, many patients who were satisfied with their treatment at Healthy Smiles Dental have left positive reviews. For instance, Mihaela C. says, "Very professional. I am extremely impressed and satisfied. They even took my blood pressure before the dental work. They were very patient and kind and they answered all my (100) questions about my teeth. I am in fact leaving my old dentist and will only work on my teeth at this place. On a scale 1-10 I give a 12. Very happy with the dental work too."

Teri L. says, "Expedient, efficient and compassionate. Dr. Preece takes the time to explain everything he does to his patients. Although I was not looking forward to this procedure, he made sure I was comfortable and without pain. I wish all dentists were as kind as Dr. Preece."

On Yelp, Daryl K. says, "I had been looking for a good dentist in Anchorage for several years. My first experience with Dr. Preece was in an urgent care need as I had broken a molar. Dr. Preece stayed late to help me with my tooth the same day I called to make an appointment. Dr. Preece has a true passion for what he does and is the best dentist I have seen in Anchorage."

Dr. Terry J. Preece graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 1980. He moved to SE Alaska in 2008, to the island of Wrangell. There, he practiced at a community health center. In August 2010, he and his family moved to Anchorage, where he started practicing at his present location at Healthy Smiles Dental. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Anchorage Dental Society, and Alaska Dental Society.
