I always feel welcomed the moment I walk in the door. The hygienist, Miranda, is fabulous—she’s gentle, thorough, and always has the best stories from her adventures!
Dr. Blackburn is equally amazing. He’s very communicative during exams and procedures, explaining everything he’s doing in a way that makes you feel completely at ease. I’ve even had cavities filled by him, and it was truly a great experience.
Recently, my 12-year-old son was referred to an oral surgeon to have five teeth extracted. Before moving forward, I called Dr. Blackburn to ask his opinion. He let me know he could do the procedure in-office as long as my son could tolerate a bit of pressure (but no pain) and promised he would stop at any time if needed. My son handled it wonderfully, Dr. Blackburn extracted all five teeth, and we avoided a hefty oral surgeon bill!
I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent care, friendly staff, and a dentist who truly goes above and beyond.

I love the small office, family feel. Everyone from the front desk to the back are always exceptional! Even calling to check up after procedures is a nice touch. Highly recommend 👌 i even moved my kids over to their practice for the quality care and they love the office.

Always a relaxed atmosphere through cleaning and no pressure to have extra dental work done. Dr. Blackburn gives you different options if you do need some work done.

About Kobuk Family Dental
Kobuk Family Dental is a general and cosmetic dental practice located at 111 East Herning Avenue in Wasilla, Alaska. The practice's stated mission is to provide quality, gentle and conservative dental care, with comprehensive services so patients can consolidate their dental care in one office. Services include preventive care such as cleanings, checkups, sealants and gum disease treatment, restorative dentistry including fillings, crowns, bridges, tooth extractions and non-surgical root canals, and cosmetic options such as porcelain veneers, dental bonding, inlays and onlays, and teeth whitening. The practice also offers oral sedation for patients with dental anxiety.
For patients missing teeth, Kobuk Family Dental provides dental implants, implant retained dentures, and complete and partial dentures. According to the practice's website, Dr. Blackburn is able to place single stage implants, which do not require a second procedure to uncover them, and in some situations an implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction. Implant consultations begin with a dental and radiographic examination and health history, with needs addressed either by Dr. Blackburn or by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon referred by the practice. The office serves Wasilla and surrounding communities including Palmer, Houston, Willow, Sutton, Trapper Creek, Big Lake and Anchorage, and welcomes new patients.
