Who We Are

A Dental Team households across Ketchikan Gateway Borough Actually Trust

We built our Ketchikan Gateway Borough network by checking licensure, insurance, and patient reviews before any office gets added to the list we send patients to.

Behind Smile Center Dentistry is a credentialing process that checks licensure, insurance, and patient feedback before any office joins our network — so the name on the door means something when you walk in the first time.

Same-day slots are held open specifically for urgent cases, and our scheduling team triages by phone so you know before you arrive roughly what to expect and how long the visit is likely to take.

Continuing education isn't optional for our affiliated offices — techniques and materials change fast in dentistry, and we expect providers to keep up.

Every affiliated office answers to the same standard on wait times, pricing accuracy, and how clearly they explain a treatment plan — we hear about it quickly when one falls short.

Don't Ignore These

Signs It's Time For Root Canal Treatment

Dental problems rarely get better on their own, and waiting usually turns a filling into a root canal, or a root canal into an extraction.

Sensitivity that lingers well after the hot or cold drink is gone, sometimes for a minute or more
Swollen or tender gums that look redder than usual around one or two teeth
A chipped, cracked, or visibly broken tooth, even if it doesn't hurt yet
A metallic or unusual taste in your mouth that won't go away
Swelling in the face or jaw, especially if it comes with a fever
A crown, bridge, or old filling that feels loose when you press on it with your tongue

If you're seeing more than one of these at once, that's usually a sign to call today rather than waiting for the next routine cleaning.

Our Services

What We Treat, Every Day

From a routine cleaning to a same-day extraction, this is the range of Root Canal Treatment our patients actually book, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.

General & Preventive Dentistry

Twice-yearly cleanings, cavity checks, and bitewing X-rays — the unglamorous care that prevents the expensive emergencies down the road. We flag anything worth tracking so it doesn't turn into a surprise at your next visit. Bring up any sensitivity or discomfort at the start of the visit so we can look closely at that specific area.

Emergency & Same-Day Care

Same-day triage for knocked-out teeth, severe pain, or swelling, with phone guidance while you're on your way in. We'd rather squeeze you in same-day than have you wait through a weekend in pain. Don't try to tough out swelling or fever overnight — call, even if it's late.

Restorative Dentistry

Composite fillings, ceramic crowns, and bridgework designed to hold up to years of normal chewing. We'll walk you through material options and what each one actually costs before committing to anything. Most crowns and bridges are placed over two visits, with a temporary in place while the permanent piece is made.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Bonding and contouring for small chips and gaps, plus in-office whitening for stubborn staining that store-bought strips never quite fix. We'll tell you honestly if whitening or bonding solves the problem before suggesting veneers. In-office whitening typically shows results in a single visit; take-home trays take a couple of weeks.

Root Canal & Endodontic Care

Infected or badly decayed teeth saved through root canal treatment instead of pulled outright when the tooth is still restorable. A crown usually follows a few weeks later to protect the treated tooth long-term. We'll prescribe or recommend pain management specific to your case before you leave.

Pediatric & Family Dentistry

Family scheduling so parents and kids can often be seen back-to-back in one trip, instead of two separate visits. We keep pediatric appointments brief and positive so the next visit is less of a fight. Sealants typically go on as soon as the back molars come in, well before a cavity has a chance to start.

How It Works

Our Four-Step Process

Here's exactly what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem fixed.

Call Or Request A Slot

Tell us what's going on and we'll match urgency to availability — emergencies get worked in same-day whenever possible.

Get A Real Appointment Time

No vague windows — you get an actual time, and the office runs close to on schedule.

Exam & Upfront Estimate

You'll know the price before you agree to anything — no surprises once the work is already underway.

Treatment & Follow-Up

Most procedures are completed the same visit; anything requiring a follow-up gets scheduled before you leave the office.

Why Choose Us

Why Families Keep Coming Back

Patients rarely bring up fancy equipment — they mention these four things instead.

Licensed & Insured

Credentials are public on request — ask your Ketchikan Gateway Borough office for their license number and we'll confirm it directly.

Fast Local Scheduling

Most requests get a same-week slot, and true emergencies are worked in the same day whenever possible, because pain doesn't wait for a convenient opening.

Upfront, Flat-Rate Pricing

Insurance is verified before your visit whenever possible, so you know your out-of-pocket cost going in, not after.

Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind every crown, filling, and bridge we place — ask about the specific warranty terms for your treatment.

A Straightforward Promise

If a filling, crown, or bridge we place doesn't fit or feel right, we'll adjust or redo it at no additional cost within the stated warranty window — no arguing about it and no extra invoice.

This isn't a marketing line — ask any affiliated office for their specific warranty terms in writing before treatment starts.

Ask specifically how long the warranty runs for your procedure; it's a fair question and any office worth trusting will answer it plainly.

Most affiliated offices accept major dental insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your visit.

Self-pay patients get the same upfront estimate as insured patients, and financing options are available for bigger cases.

Persistent throbbing pain, especially at night, is usually a sign the nerve is involved and a root canal is likely.
