We warmly welcome you to Alaska Center for Oral + Facial Surgery as we look forward to working with you.

About Our Oral and Facial Surgery Clinic
Our clinic is a beautiful and modern clinic with technology and the innovative minds of our surgeons, ready to help address your most complex dental issues. Because of our advanced technology, we are able to address and provide the highest quality treatments and the most-up-to-date care available in dental medicine.
Each of our surgical suites is reproduced to reflect those of a hospital operating room, paying close attention to the infection control protocols. This is an advantage for patients because they experience the high levels of care with the convenience of outpatient surgery, at a fraction of the cost.
All diagnostics are available in our clinic including a CT scanner, which saves you time and the hassle of having to get one somewhere else. We are also able to have scans approved, taken, and assessed within the same visit. For a full clinic tour, click here!
