General dentistry is the heart of what we do at Turnagain Dental. Most of the care that protects your teeth happens at routine appointments — checkups, cleanings, small fillings, a new crown when a tooth needs reinforcement. Done well, this everyday care prevents bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
Dr. Joshua Kennedy is the first and only dentist in Alaska to achieve Mastership status with the Academy of General Dentistry — a credential earned through more than 1,100 hours of continuing education and hands-on training. That depth of knowledge shows up in even the simplest visit.

Why Patients Stay With Us
Our patients tell us they finally feel heard. We take the time to explain what we see, why it matters, and what your options are — without pressure. Whether you need a single filling or a complete plan to address years of neglected care, you'll always know exactly where you stand.
How Often Should I Come In?
Most adults benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. Patients with a history of gum disease, heavy stain or higher decay risk may benefit from more frequent visits. We'll recommend a schedule that fits your specific mouth — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
