At Huffman Family Dentistry in Anchorage, we are licensed to practice in all areas of General Dentistry in the state of Alaska, and our staff is committed to each patient’s overall health and welfare. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Weaver are both compassionate and experienced professionals. Their number one priority is to ensure that each patient maintains or is returned to optimum oral health through education, restoration and proper dental maintenance using the latest technologies available.
When you and your family come in for your dental appointment, your Anchorage family dentist will perform a complete dental examination. A dental examination is nothing more than a checkup that searches for any factors that may contribute to the deterioration of your oral health. These factors could include cavities, nerve damage, gum disease, or anything else that could cause major problems later on. Your dentist will then give your teeth a complete cleaning so that you leave our office with a clean, healthy smile every time.
During your complete dental examination, our dentists will take various records which often include some, or all of the following, depending on what is necessary:
- A Thorough Health History
- Soft Tissue Examination
- Periodontal Examination
- A Set of Individual X-Rays (Radiographs)
- A Panoramic X-Ray
- X-Ray of the TM joints
- Mounted Diagnostic Models
Our procedures utilize only the most state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, and we do it all within an environment that is sanitary, safe and totally family-friendly.
And speaking of family, when you bring your children into Huffman Family Dentistry, they will have the luxury of achieving optimum dental health in a pain-free manner that leaves them actually smiling when they leave the dentist’s office for once. Our dentists are experienced and trained to complete each treatment thoroughly, quickly and, and of course, gently.
Should our dentists find any oral problems during your family’s routine dental cleanings, such as cavities, nerve or gum problems, a complete dental health plan will be created. This health plan will include specific techniques that are designed to be followed at home in order to get rid of the oral problems before they have a chance to get any worse.
The most important thing is to catch these problems before they occur. That is why you should bring your family into Huffman Family Dentistry for a routine cleaning so that we may work to keep you and your family as healthy as possible.
