Alaska Dentistry for Kids

Dr. Coplin and his staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our little one was seen for a tongue/lip tie revision and Dr. Coplin made sure we were able to do an informed decision on it. I would recommend their services as they care for the parents and their littles here. Thank you for all your help.

My son, who is 2 yrs old, had a wonderful experience with this dental clinic. I asked him after we left if he was scared and he said he wanted to go back to see the dentist. That is a big plus. As a parent, I appreciated the way Dr. Coplin explained things to me. He was very thorough and very knowledgeable of what I should be expecting to happen, and have a very good explanation for recommendations, as to why it is needed to done. My son felt comfortable as the doctor and all the staff of this dental facility are very friendly. According to my 2 yr old, they are cool, awesome, and funny! :)

Staff insanely rude and unprofessional!! After they thought they had hung up a follow up phone call they referred to my 12 y/o cousin as a drama queen for saying she was in pain in the area they worked on while eating and opening her mouth too wide. Even though his dental assistant mentioned during the appointment she WOULD have pain and to treat with ibuprofen or tylenol. Then at her second appointment “Dr”. Coplin told her he didn’t need her “attitude” because she was expressing where her obvious pain was when he asked. She was crying and ended up leaving. Learn to treat your patients with respect and trust that when they say they’re in pain, they are. What reason do you think a 12 year old had to lie about her mouth being in pain Disgusting behavior. While we highly praised and recommended you guys before this, we will never think to do so again. For a place specializing in child care, this is no place to bring your child.

We took our infant daughter in for a lip and tongue tie correction after a month of her being gassy and unhappy, and never being able to eat enough, not to mention my wife’s almost unbearable pain trying to breastfeed. I can’t overstate how phenomenal the entire staff was. Dr. Coplin didn’t sugarcoat anything but was still kind and thoughtful, and extremely respectful towards parents making the best decisions for their own kids. Thoroughly impressed with our experience here, and the operation results are wonderful. Baby is happier than she’s ever been and mom is pain free.

My kids have been going to Dr.Coplin for 4 years now and I will always refer him. The staff is great and always accommodating. Any concerns I feel comfortable speaking up and I get to watch the surgery and help with my kids when they do work on their mouth. My son is very difficult and scared. He panicks and can’t sit still yet the team here have been able to work with us be patient and now my son sits still with no worries. My kids only complain they don’t like it here because Dr.Coplin doesn’t tolerate the bad behaviors and it very straight forward. Which I do love about him. I wish I could see him myself Honestly !

I am so impressed with this Dental office! They were amazing to be able to get my son an appointment immediately even though we had to fly in from out of town, the staff was amazing, the facility was so kid friendly and clean, the Doctor was knowledgeable and approachable and kind. My sons appointment went smoothly and he will have no trauma from this experience. I would recommend them to anyone and I will be taking my children here for any dental issues! Thank you so much, so grateful.

Dr. Coplin is my children's dentist. When our daughter had to have dental work done, he ensure us and walked us thru the procedure and even had me (mom) in with her so that was great. He's also got a great staff. Very kid friendly environment as well.

Dr Coplin and his staff are amazing. I took my son here for lip and tongue tie revision at the recommendation of our pediatrician and after a lot of research on my part. I called and got an appointment the next day! Dr Coplin was very knowledgeable about lip and tongue tie. My son is only 6 weeks old and he was very gentle with him and the entire procedure only lasted a few minutes. Afterwards they explained how to clean and care for my son's mouth and gave me support and a space to breastfeed. I would highly recommend Dr Coplin to anyone facing breastfeeding issues related to lip and tongue tie. I will definitely be taking my son back for any other dental work!
