Reviews of Healthy Smiles Dental
Melinda Andrews
Dr. Preece and his crew at Healthy Smiles Dental are amazing! My son had a very bad dental experience when he was 4, which caused him to develop a dental anxiety. He wouldn't allow anyone to work on his teeth up until today. Dr. Preece and his staff did a wonderful job at explaining every step to him, and through it all, they made sure he was comfortable. We will definitely be coming back here, and I highly recommend you should check this place out!!
Morgan Borkovec
Great office with extremely friendly staff. They take the time to get to know their patients and what is important to them, and are very thorough with examinations and care. The office is very well kept and provides a comfortable atmosphere. Glad to have found such a great dentist after moving to AK
Steven Schmidt
I have been going to Healthy Smiles Dental for a good many years. Dr Preece is a very capable and proficient dentist. His friendly office has all the latest equipment to help maintain oral health. He has done wonders for mine.
Cheryl Clement
Having been a patient of Dr. Preece for over 5 years I totally recommend this dental clinic. Everyone there is very courteous and accommodating. Also, Dr. Preece is an excellent dentist.
Peter Kozup
Everything went well. I was happy to have the question about the tooth that was inspected resolved. I have the antibiotic and will begin taking it before bed tonight. I had hoped to have the question about work to be done on some problem areas decided, but I will have to wait till my next appointment.
Beth Norris
Excellent experience and quality work! I started as a new patient to correct/re-do failing dental work from a previous dentist and I couldn't be happier with Dr. Preece and his whole staff!
Doreen Blake
Dr. Preece and his team of Dental professional endeavors to ensure you have a "healthy smile" with their detailed care and patience working on your teeth and gum, correcting any decay or gum disease and so much more. I highly recommend Healthy Smiles Dental.
Carolina Vidal
The whole staff at Healthy Smiles Dental is always welcoming, helpful and very professional with me and my family, we are seeing right away and communicate with us while at our appointment to make sure we’re confortable.

If you want the best dentist in Alaska for your family, now this is the place to be. We are always pleased with the service rendered. The staffs are very polite and friendly. The facility is very clean and that means a lot to me. I really appreciated the fact that the doctor took his time to explain what procedures needed to be done and there’s no rush. My children love going to this dentist. Our whole experience overall was great and We are completely satisfied with our visit.
Brandon Wheeler
Great family dental group. Our family of four has been a loyal client for over 4 years. We always get just the right care, options for treatments, and never feel rushed or forced into getting stuff done. Though it isn't explicitly named a 'Pediatric' or 'Kids' dentistry, they are very kid friendly. Both of our kiddos enjoy being in the chair with Dr. Preece, our youngest just as soon as she could walk, just to get the feel for it.
They also do an excellent job of maximizing health/dental insurance coverage through experience and scheduling. And most importantly (to me) never has a hygienist, or Dr. Preece himself, butchered my gums while flossing me at Healthy Smiles Dental! And I thank you for that!
Daniel Rourke
Dr. Preece is one of the most knowledgeable and thorough dentists we have known in our 35 years of adult dental care! He takes the necessary time to perform exams thoroughly, with great attention to detail. He carefully listened to our concerns and developed a tailored treatment plan for us. His assistants are also knowledgeable and friendly. First-class office with outstanding service!
Michael Moravec
Dr. Preece and then Leslie was my hygienist; what a wonderful experience! I felt welcomed and appreciated to be their customer/patient. Thorough, but gentle. They utilize an easy reminder system and technology for registration (for me, email and text) to make it nearly impossible to forget you have an appointment (appreciated). I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Preece and Healthy Smiles Dental for anyone's dental needs.
patrick jamison
I love this place. My wife and I moved to Alaska 3 years ago leaving my family dentist behind that I had know since I was a teenager. Having moved up here we tried many different well known and referred dentists in Anchorage and all have fallen way short of our expectations and overall trust in their practices. Many of them have tried to upsell us on cavities and rootcanals we did not need. Thank God I had a chance to refer back to my old dentist before proceding through with their work.
Those awful trial error all stopped when we found Heathy Smiles Dental with Dr. Preece. His office is warm and welcoming. His staff is kind and pleasent and goes above and beyond their duties to take care of their patients. They even watched and played with my 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son while my wife was being seen.
Dr. Preece is kind and gentle while working in your mouth. He is thorough in his work and explains what he is doing and seeing while working. You can tell he is passionate about his profession and if thats not enough. They have chairs that meassage you while you're being worked on to help people like me with bad backs.
I would highly recommend coming in and checking out Healthy Smiles Dental. I am not an easy person to please by any means, but the staff and Dr. PREECE have gained my trust, respect and business for as long as I am in need of Dental work and in Anchorage.... and I love candy so I expect to see them quite often. Lol
Hannah White
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.
Fran Andrews
My hygienist is the BEST! When considering a teeth cleaning in South Anchorage, consider Healthy Smiles!!!
Hans Hanner
I happened upon Healthy Smiles Dental after needing an extraction after a very painful weekend. I always get nervous about any dental work, but it had to be done. The office was nice and not over the top like some other places in town. Erica at the front desk was very nice and tried to ease my nerves. The extraction was painless, and great care was taken to ensure the healing process would be as quick and smooth as possible.
I love Health Smiles Dental, and I'm happy to tell people the great work they do there.
Ken Marshall
Dr. Preece runs a fantastic practice. Being new to AK it can be difficult to find the healthcare providers that you are happy with. I can say this was the easiest search to find quality, kind and professional dental care. The entire staff has earned my family’s business.
Becky Kotter
Dr. Preece was exceptionally thorough, good at his work, genuine, and kind. I finally feel I have a dentist that I can trust as much as my dad (who was also a dentist)! His staff was equally kind and easy to work with, making me feel welcome. I will be taking my family to Healthy Smiles Dental for future work!
Donna Sinclair
I am new to the area and was looking for a family dentist for my husband and I. I just had my first visit with Dr. Preece and I couldn't be more pleased. He made me feel very comfortable and explained everything to me as he was examining my teeth. His dental examination was extremely thorough. His gentle manner is also very calming. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Preece to anyone looking for a thorough and knowledgeable dentist. Best of the best.
dull never
Excellent first impression! All staff were kind, professional, and informative.
Healthy Smiles Dental - Huffman
Kyle Smith
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!
Michael See
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 thought I had left. Since only 10 minutes over my appointment time had gone by, I figured they would just let me go ahead with my appointment. They told me they had to reschedule me.
Another time, they gave me a filling that fell out soon after they gave it to me. I called them and tried to schedule another filling and they said I would have to wait more than a week.
I didn't feel like walking around with a gigantic crater in my tooth for a week so I ended up calling Healthy Smiles, and they were able to get me into the schedule within a couple of days.
I have been so happy with the entire staff and experience that I decided to switch over to Healthy Smiles, and since then I've had several completely smooth and easy appointments with them. Highly recommended!
Nicholas sleeper
I generally hate the dentist. I have had alot of bad experiences, but Dr Preece dose his best to make you as comfortable as possible. 10 out of 10 would recommend this to everyone.
Karen Wentz
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!
sai duchanin
One of the very best dental experiences. I was treated with warmth and respect. Dr. Press explained everything in detail and both he and his assistant were professional and comforting. I felt like a person not “just another patient”.
G C
I recently visited for the first time. This is the dentist for me and my family! Terry was knowledgeable, caring and I received a very thorough cleaning by Emily. I typically have sensitive teeth and they did not bother me once during my visit due to the expert care. This is the best dental office I have been to in Anchorage. Also, very cute reminder email!
Cyndy J
I've had plenty of dental work in the past but I believe that I've never had a more thorough exam as the one I had with Dr. Preece! I'm so impressed! I found everyone from Tammy who greeted me to Emily who cleaned my teeth to be exceptional and very professional! We were in need of a dentist after ours retired, I'm so happy we (my family) found this office. I strongly recommend Dr. Preece and his entire office if you are in need of a dentist! You walk away feeling like Healthy Smiles Dental wants you to have the best expierence with the best outcome!
F Hoggan
Dr. Preece and the staff provided an awesome dental experience! Everyone was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Dr. Preece Is an exceptional dentist - he takes the time to explain and discuss the options to give the best and most affordable dental care you can receive.
Katie Flint
I am so grateful I found this dental office! I always dread going to the dentist, but every time I have come away from Anchorage Healthy Smiles it has been a really positive and pleasant experience. The staff are wonderful and Dr. Preece really takes the time to talk with you about you about how you are doing and any questions you may have. I love that I do not feel rushed when I go there. The office itself is very nice and has a relaxing and soothing atmosphere. Definitely my favorite dentist I have been to in Anchorage (and I have been to a few!).
Kendall Norman
Excellent dentist office! The personnel here is absolutely incredible, super inviting and informative. Dr. Preece, Faith, and Tammy made me feel welcome and comfortable with the procedures being done. I walked out knowing exactly what my treatment plan was and all the costs. I'm so glad I finally found a dentist office who cares, is compassionate, and is experienced and knowledgeable in the practice.
Steven Schmidt
After not having visited a dental office for quite some time, I decided that I needed to do something. My wife made an appointment for me at Healthy Smiles Dental, where she has been going for several years. They got me right in and I got x-rays, a cleaning, and an exam. Dr. Preece laid out several treatment options for me.
Today I had my second visit and was very impressed with the modern office and methods used. I found everyone very accommodating, working me into their schedule, and working with me on the payment for services. Based on my experience, it is very easy for me to recommend this dental clinic.
Joseph and Chelsea Higgins
My daughter is 7 years old and needed urgent dental care. Dr. Preece did a great job. I really liked how they explained all the options for her course of care. The paperwork was all on-line and easy to complete. They fit us right in and it was convenient. I would recommend them. I like that our whole family can get care all at one facility.
Daryl Kuemerle
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. The care I received prompted me to make appointments for a cleaning and examination. Both the cleaning and the exam were very thorough.This is a nice small practice where I received very personal care. I am extremely glad I found them!
Angie Pan
Healthy Smile Center gives an amazing experience for anyone who's looking to get their teeth done! My experience was very wonderful, Dr. Preece and the staff were friendly and made sure I was comfortable and cared for during my visit! I highly recommend the Healthy Smile Center, and I'm honestly excited for my next visit to get my teeth done. They offer options to ensure you have a brighter, healthy smile. Thank you Healthy Smile Center!
Amee Reese
Dr Preece and the staff at Healthy Smiles Center are fantastic. I used to have a lot of anxiety about going to any dentist but they helped me get over that. Now I go to them for a pain free, stress free experience. I just got 2 fillings and didn't feel a thing.
I highly recommend them!
Jamie Miller
Everyone in my family, from me and my husband to our kids (both under 10) have been to Healthy Smiles and we've all had a great experience. The kids were happy and left with smiles as their hygienist was patient and friendly. She explained everything to them as she went. They provided orthodontist references for my oldest. I had some added work done and Dr. Preece did a wonderful job. He fixed a problem area that my last dentist was struggling with. A big positive: they numbed my mouth with a gel before hand and I never even felt the shot! I would recommend Healthy Smiles for everyone in your family.
Joe Pokupec
5 stars! Fast, courteous, compassionate, flexible, experienced staff, genuine care. What's not to love? Initial dental exam was the most thorough I have had. Dr. Preece has a gentle demeanor and his staff as well. I think I found my family dentist :-)
Anne Sanders
Healthy Smiles Dental has a great friendly staff. Dr. Preece was very attentive and thorough. I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and I felt very comfortable right away. I would recommend Healthy Smiles Dental to anyone without hesitation.
Amber A
At Healthy Smiles Dental, Dr. Preece and his team are very welcoming, very gentle, and very skilled at their profession. I needed 4 fillings, and was dreading the awful numbing. They used a temporary numbing that had me feeling back to normal much quicker. Their up-to-date technologies help to provide a quick, as painless as possible service. They are very affordable, and even offer a discount when you pay in cash, ahead of time. It is my top recommendation in Anchorage!
Michael Podolak
Dr. Preece is phenomenal!! And so is the staff, of course. He has rescued me a couple of times now, not to mention how fantastic my normal care has been. I could not ask for a better dentist. I have been with him for several years now and its just been great. From the office space to the level of care its as good as it gets (for a dentist) because lets face it, getting drilled on is not exactly at the top of everyone's to do list. The lobby is actually cozy and comfortable. Heck I fall asleep in there its so cozy and that's even with only waiting about 5 min. or less usually.
I could go on, and on about how great they are but I will say this. They are great people from top to bottom. They do community outreach, they actually care about you as a person, and they are a super to work with. Do not hesitate if you need a good dentist!!
Angela Weaver
I have had maybe one bad experience with cleaning of my teeth. Dr. Preece and his team is so awesome. Very professionally, the facility is clean, and Dr. Preece and his team listen to my concerns for the procedure I was getting ready to have. Explain why it was important and still laugh that decision up to me in the end. I like the fact that I was talked to and even though they had other patients to tend to, while working with me it was a special moment for me. I look forward to returning for my next visit. Thank you for making this experience relaxing at this time in my life.
heather brevak
From the moment I walked in the door, Dr. Preece and his staff made me feel very comfortable. Not something I was expecting when I walked into a new dentist office. I had recently had back surgery and they were more than accommodating to make sure I was comfortable in that chair. Offering me a pillow, blankets and even turned on a massage feature in the chair. Through the exam and cleaning I was continually asked if I was doing OK, if I needed to move or if there was anything else they could do to make me more comfortable. Dr. Preece even made time to fix a cavity in the same visit. I'm also very hard to numb up. They took the extra time to make sure that my tooth was completely numb. I have found that most dentists don't take the time and just start drilling but not DR Preece. He was very concerned that I didn't feel any pain. I would recommend him to anyone and I have already started recommending him to my friends. I am very blessed that I found this dental practice. Thank you very much to DR Preece and his staff for taking very good care of me .
Jayson Marks
Dr.Preece was Very gentle and attentive to my needs. All of the staff were nice and did everything I had asked. I went in to get nine cavities filled and get all four wisdom teeth removed three days in a row and was only sore after the wisdom teeth. It was the most dental work I have had done but was hands-down the best dental experience I have ever had. They were very polite, easily adapted to what I liked and were very encouraging. They use a numbing gel like orajel so you don't feel the needle with novocaine and he puts in enough so you don't feel any of the drilling and only a tiny bit of the pulling. The dental chair is also a massage chair with three settings and two heating options. They made sure I knew what was happening without me even asking and eagerly answered any questions I did have. My dad went there for extensive work and was also pleased and I convinced one of my closest friends to get his wisdom teeth removed there and have seen a surgeon coming out of his office as well. I would recommend Dr.Preece and his associates to anybody needing any dental work done satisfaction guaranteed.
Sara Krokos
After my first visit to this Dentist Office I'm sold! Very personable, friendly and knowledgeable. Upon arriving Dr. Preece was in the reception area decorating the Christmas tree, he knew my name and was expecting me. The staff was very friendly and I never felt rushed or like "just another patient". During my check-up Dr. P also spent a long time examining and providing comprehensive options for my oral health care. Oh AND their free chapstick is awesome!!
Ellie Huffstutler
Very friendly dental office! Dr. Preece was concerned with my comfort, providing a warming /massage chair, blanket, headphones with radio, even free chapstick! His exam was very thorough. He seemed concerned about me as a person, not just a random patient. I appreciated his honesty, he only did the dental work that truly needed to be done. The next day I walked in because I had some concerns over some swelling, and he took the time to see me and talk about my concerns. I appreciated that he didn't seem rushed and took my concerns seriously.Oh yeah.. and the week I went they sent me home with Flowers!
Cortney Bates
I have to say, I'm kind of in love with this place. I did some research online and decided to give Healthy Smiles a try. I scheduled my appointment online and was able to make one for 6pm (super convenient! +2). They called to remind me of my appointment (+1). The office is decorated in really calming tones with simple, aesthetically pleasing decor (+1), and they were playing chill oldies (+1). The girl at the front desk was super nice (+2). Dr. Preece came out to shake my hand and greet me (+5)- I give this +5 because this has never happened to me before. Every dental office I've ever been to has come off as sort of snobby, methodical, let's just get this done, and the dentists spent about 10 minutes with me toward the end of the appointment. Dr. Preece was with me from start to finish, making casual conversation, explaining his assessment of my oral condition, and educating me about all of the different methods of care that I might pursue-he didn't push for any expensive treatment options. His assistant was wonderful, too- very helpful and down to earth(+2). I felt like a person among other people, not just a patient. The bottom line is, I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Preece and his staff at Healthy Smiles to anyone. Every Dentist I've ever had could learn a thing or two about patient care from Dr. Preece and his team. 14/10 #wherehavetheybeenallmylife
Gina Wilmink
Quick to get us in. Friendly professional service. My 13 year old said she didn’t feel the shot or anything during her root canal - awesome!
Sabrina M
My husband and I just completed our treatment plans with Dr. Preece. He is very patient, and really took the time to make sure we understood what was going on. My husband had a lot of work to get done - root canals, bridges, fillings, and he made the process pretty simple and painless. We would highly recommend him!
Emily M
I came to this office to get some work done when I found out I was pregnant. They were very accommodating and worked with my insurance plan. I generally don't like going to the dentist because it always hurts but they do a great job of making your visit pain free every time. I highly recommend them
David Justice
.Dr. Preece and staff give you the best customer service experience in Alaska.
from start to finish this is the best Dentistry Office in Alaska. I had the need for extensive
dental work and I shopped around I did all of the vetting of 5 or more Dentist in Anchorage, Alaska and surrounding area's. This was the one I chose there staff is helpful ,friendly and extremely professional. Dr. Preece has outstanding skills to go along with the customer service. You will be amazed at his staff and facility's. I wanted the best and I found it at Healthy Smiles Dentistry.
Connie Stewart is a great dental hygienist and is the best in Alaska
Susan Wolford
I needed to have a tooth extracted. Dr Preece made it painless. My comfort was his highest priority. He is friendly, efficient, & professional, and so is his staff. They always have the time to answer my questions & address my concerns. I drive in from Palmer to see him & it is well worth the drive.
Brittani Clancey
I am very happy I chose to go to Healthy Smiles Center. What I found different and liked the most about my appointment is the nature of Dr. Preece. He instantly makes you feel at ease and carefully listened to my concerns. I have been recommending this office without hesitation!
Frances Gifford
Great office. Took my kids and Dr and Assistant were so great with them and made them feel comfortable. Definitely recommend!
Jamelia Saied
Dr. Preece is very sensitive to how a patient is feeling while he is working with them. His staff is also quite concerned about how you are doing overall. It's a great place to have dental work done.
James Patton
The front desk receptionist helped signed for me to tell me what is being said by the dental technician.
Jennifer Perkins
Booking was very simple and can be done online. The whole staff from the dentist, hygienist to the front desk are very professional, friendly, and have quick follow through. The best part - it's close to home and business so I can now finally call it my new dental home. I highly recommend this place!
Breanna Clevenger (Breeziest)
Dr. Preece and his staff really do care. It is the most comfortable I have ever felt at a dentist office, ever. My family and I always look forward to our appointments. Thank you very much.
Francis Khloe
Initial visit, very friendly and very thorough, as a new resident to the area I couldn't have picked a more welcoming and professional dentist. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Preece to any acquaintance of mine. Staff was more then friendly and helpful.
Kevin Wulff
I had my appointment here and I was impressed by the condition of the office. It was extremely clean, the place looks great. The staff are really friendly and it was a great experience. I highly recommend you come in and get all your dental needs cared for here.
A+A+A+....
Henry Jointer
I really enjoyed my visit to Healthy Smiles Dental. The staff was very very proffesional and knowledgeable. I have been to a few dentist in Anchorage and they were by far the best. Me and my family have definitely found our home. Thanks Dr. Preece, Emily and the rest of the staff.
LC Clark
JUST AHHHHMAZZIN....I been going to AHS for about 2 years, every time i go the staff are so welcoming, and the service is phenomenal, the massage heated seats, and the comfortable setting makes its easy for me to relax. During the 2 years,I had 2 implants and veneers. I had a emergency and called the dr office and I expected a answering service but his voice mail said if I needed to b seen right away to call his cell phone number, so I did, him and his staff came in on a Saturday to accommodate me. I love the fact that they take Denali kid care and can get same day appointment.
Kathy Rushing
Great dentist and office team. The atmosphere is terrific, comfortable and patient friendly. I've only been in Alaska 11 months and find myself very lucky to have landed in this dentist's office as a patient.
Bailey Lively
The staff and Dentist here are awesome!! They work with you and are great if you have kids as well. The staff are very friendly and the dentist takes time to make sure that you get the care that you need.
Josh P.
Excellent dentist!!! Excellent reception/office manager!! Not like other dentists!
Did not "tell me" what I needed to be done. Rather, let me know of where problem areas where and I decided what needed done from there!
He was extremely gentle when it came to administering general anesthesia… That is hard to find! ...
But again, the reason why we are going to be coming back is because I was NOT PUSHED INTO DENTAL WORK THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO BE DONE. THIS IS THE REASON WHY MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WILL BE BACK!!!
Sincerely, Lisa B.
Tina F.
I highly recommend Healthy Smiles to anyone needing dental work done! Dr. Preece is an excellent dentist and everyone there goes above and beyond to make you comfortable.
Dave Goldstein
The checkup and overall exam was probably the most thorough and meticulous one I've ever had. Thanks Dr. Preece!
Although I'm not a fan of multiple X-Rays, I do understand the need for them. The ones taken today were somewhat different than those I've had in the past. The plastic cover over the bite-wing type film was strange...mostly from having what appeared to be a plastic wrapper in my mouth. I know these are never comfortable...regardless of the way the film is protected however. The 360 X-Ray was something I have never experienced...and provided an interesting overview of my teeth!
Emily was very thorough, also, and worked hard removing several years worth of plaque. The water jet cleaning reminded me a bit of high pressure washes on equipment and vehicles/boats/planes! I did find that the water-removal system, at times, didn't seem to work as well as it should have...and this made it a bit hard to breathe. Possibly this was due to the slightly inverted position I was in? Emily did respond quickly when she sensed I was having some discomfort with this. Another thing I noticed, that may possibly be mitigated in some way, was the occasional high pitch from the water jet apparatus. It reminded me too much of drills used in addressing cavities...which is not a pleasant sound/memory for me. I wonder if someone makes a silencer for this (and drills) or has an ear adapter that keeps removes this pitch?
Thanks for the opportunity to comment!
Kelley Johanson
For for someone that can not walk into a dentist office without having an anxiety attack Dr Preece & staff made me feel extremely comfortable! A great friendly staff. Highly recommended
R F
My visits to Healthy Smiles always go extrmely well. I have had bad experiences with past Dentest in Anchorage and was impressed withTammy the receptionist who has been personable since my first visit, and my Hygenist Emily and Dr Preece always make sure I am comfortable during their procedures. In a word, OUTSTANDING.
Abel Fata
Dr. Greece & his assistant made me feel so comfortable and open. They were helpful and thorough in explaining every step of the way. Also Tammy was super nice & helpful in going over payment options.
Hector Bravo
Great service, felt comfortable, was given honest specific options, staff was friendly and very helpful. By far the best dental experience.
Once again Healthy Smiles get it done
Jackie Jointer
I would recommend Dr. Preece and staff (Emily). Extremely professional and thorough. I normally dread dentist visits; however, they made this visit very relaxing and comfortable.
Brenda ElHapipy
Dr. Preece listens to my special needs because of allergies and disability. I would Highly recommend Him. I transferred to him because a Medicaid dentist belittled me in his office. I donot feel like a number but an empowered individual with Dr. Preece.
Jessica Leffler
I highly recommend Dr. Preece & there staff. They are so welcoming & they really make you feel like your part of the family. They make you feel so comfortable & explain everything. They were able to get me right in. Dr. Preece did excellent work. So happy with everything.
Samantha Mulvaney
Dr. Preece is very polite and makes an effort to listen to your concerns. I have a fear of dentists and going to him has been a great experience!
Jung H. Im
Dr. Preece and his staff was very thorough with the procedures. Jane was very clear with the cost and the insurance paperwork. This is my dentist from now on.
Nicole Johnson
I just got seen recently at this dental place. Everybody was super nice. They will do everything to help you get your teeth taken care of. I recommend this place if you need dental work done!
Zack Torres
As soon as I walked in the front desk staff greeted me as if I were family. Working in the medical customer service world, I know what it is like to be a customer service specialist and the ladies up front could teach a thing or two to all other customer service reps on how to do the best job possible. I REALLY enjoyed my experience today.
Rizaldy Ortiz

Lovely folks who take the time to address any issues. LOVE the option of filling out all the paperwork online and just going in to sign later. My only complaint was the need to give up the heated massage chair for the next patient. :-)

From the welcome to the painless departure, 'professional decorum' exemplifies Dr.Preece and his staff. Every concern was addressed with clarity and patience, belaying fears. 'Full marks' to this team, six stars at minimum.
