Services
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dentistry services rebuild both function and aesthetics of damaged teeth. Using crowns, bridges, and implant-supported dentures, we address issues from cavities to missing teeth. Each treatment plan focuses on durability and natural appearance while preventing future oral health complications through comprehensive solutions.
TMJ Treatment
Specialized TMJ treatment alleviates jaw pain and dysfunction through neuromuscular technology and customized oral appliances. We employ the Myotronics K7 Evaluation System for precise diagnosis and TENS therapy to realign jaw positioning, providing lasting relief from chronic headaches and temporomandibular disorders.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions using titanium implants that fuse with jawbone tissue for unmatched stability. Our services include standard implants, mini implants, and hybrid implant dentures, all designed to restore chewing functionality and facial structure while maintaining natural aesthetics.
Sleep Apnea Therapy
Custom oral appliance therapy addresses sleep-disordered breathing by optimizing airway positioning during sleep. These removable devices effectively reduce snoring and alleviate obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, improving overall sleep quality and daytime energy levels.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Comprehensive smile transformations using porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, and dental bonding. Our cosmetic treatments address discoloration, chips, and misalignment while maintaining structural integrity, creating aesthetically pleasing results that enhance natural facial features.

I have been a patient of Dr Crosby since 2019. From the very first appointment I was greeted with professionalism and authenticity by himself and his staff. The atmosphere is very calming, soothing and relaxing. It's always been a unique and genuine experience. I highly recommend Dr Crosby with his staff Eva and Crystal to be your choice of any needed dental work. Amazing people and exemplary denistry.

I am visiting Anchorage, living in Florida. On April 9th while eating, my back molar broke a piece off. My family had gone to Dr. Crosby and have had excellent service. I called them on Sunday and left a message. They called me Monday morning and opened up a time for me to come that day for X-ray. Dr. Crosby said he could make a crown in his office. His office staff, this was Eva, was so polite and professional and secured an appointment on the 12th.
I have a robust fear of dental work and prepared for the worse. Dr Crosby put all my anxiety to rest, prepared my tooth, made a new crown in his office and in two hours total walked out with a perfectly fitted crown. I had no pain even after the numbness wore off. Dr Crosby even called that evening just to make sure all was well. I strongly recommend Dr Crosby for your dental work. My insurance plan requires me to pay up front and then submit the claims via mail. Eva had all the claim forms filled out for me including a stamped envelope already addressed. Maybe I can just designate Dr Crosby as my primary dentist as I visit Anchorage 3-4 times a year.

I had a dental emergency. Not a patient. Dr Crosby was able to get me in quickly. He reviewed the different options with me. He discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the options and I made the choice. He was able to do the initial visit, x-rays, and procedures the same day. I have sensitivities towards the pain medications. He provided a great alternative. I will and have recommended him to everybody I have come in contact with.

I have never had positive experiences with dentistry and have had very traumatic procedures in early adulthood. I associated pain and fear with anything related to my teeth. Needless to say, I avoided dentistry and suffered. My entire life I have had issues with my jaw and bite. Dr. Crosby and his team not only changed my anxiety and fear with dentistry but provided lasting comfort for my chronic TMJ condition.
The process was smooth and noninvasive. The treatment required no major surgeries to correct my major jaw misalignment. More importantly, I saw improvement immediately. My migraines, stiffness, and discomfort are now gone, and I wear my orthotic everyday. I regret not doing this sooner, but am so very happy that I DID! If you suffer from poor sleep, jaw pain, and frequent headaches please consider a consult with Dr. Crosby. You will be so glad that you did! I cannot thank his clinic enough!

We live in Rural Alaska, which makes getting extensive dental treatment a bit of a challenge. Dr. Crosby, Eva, and the rest of their team have been very accommodating, keeping us informed about how many visits the dental plan would take, working with us to get the best travel schedule and appointment dates, and best of all, delivering a quality product. My husband's smile is more beautiful than the first day I met him. The hubby has nothing but praise for the excellent treatment, and follow-up appointments when needed, and we both would recommend Dr. Crosby and team with the highest regards.
