Super friendly, clean and beautiful office. Got the job done quickly and didn’t try and sell me on needing any work or extra products. Definitely would recommend and have recommended to a friend and my sister in law after my first visit! Make an appointment you won’t regret giving Dr. Lane and his awesome staff a try. Thanks for my sparking smile!

Relatively new to the area and someone HIGHLY recommended Lane Family Dental. Well, after my amazing experience as a new patient there today, I couldn’t agree more with the recommendation I was given.From the minute I stepped in the office, the customer service was outstanding. Kathy, at the front desk, Celia, Emily and Dr. Lane were so nice, courteous, answered all questions and most importantly their attention to detail was beyond reproach.I’ve been to several dentists in my lifetime and this has been the best experience. Kuddos to Celia....... the best dental hygienist I’ve encountered. Soft hands and amazing techniques displayed throughout my cleaning today. Dr. Lane, was a pleasure to interact with.If you’re looking for a dentist.... STOP looking! This is where you need to go. True professionals with very caring personalities and a well-centered compass for customer service.I look forward to continuing my dental Care with Dr. Lane and his staff.

Well, I’ve been to a number of Dental offices and let me tell you... Dr. Lane was recommended to me by a trustworthy person and I couldn’t be happier about the advice given to me! The front desk... felt like I was coming home for the holidays! The Hygienist was gentle, kind and quite entertaining and then the follow up, Dr. Lane... good guy, even though he had semi bad news to give me, he broke it down In a way I understood and without causing panic! I am highly recommending Lane Family Dentistry for any individual that may be thinking of switching offices or just want to get in to the dentist for the first time ever!

I had such bad tooth pain. Dr. Lane was able to see me within 2 hours and had me promptly scheduled for a procedure the following day. My pain level was extremely high but his humor and his really supportive and kind staff had me very relaxed. He made sure I was 100% pain free, extremely comfortable, and in good spirits before preforming the procedure. Their state of the art X-ray machine and the wonderful massage the dental chair was giving me was the icing on the whole day. I hate the dentist but Dr. Lane has made my experience have some of the chips fall off my shoulder about dentist visits.

Switched to this office after some research and needing to leave our other office that we did not care for. Was not disappointed! I’ve been around dental offices my entire life as my mother managed a couple and I can confidently say that the Lane Dental team exceeded my expectations and I felt comfortable! They treated me with respect and most importantly, treated my kid like he was one of theirs. Kind and caring staff and a beautiful office! Happy we have found our new dental team!!

My husband and I were both very impressed with our experience with Lane Family Dental.We both agree that this was the best experience we have ever had at any dentist we have gone to. From the receptionist, the hygienist, dentist, and dental assistant were all top notch. They all were very friendly, professional, and made us feel very comfortable. We will definatly be coming back.

I loved how easy it was to become a new patient. The form was online, no glitches, and took me less than 5 minutes. The office was clean and nicely decorated with a lot of great artwork. The dental chair massages. Wow! The staff is friendly, happy, and makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. The consultation was honest; all options laid out and their opinion on a best plan forward; which wasn't the most expensive or include any unnecessary work. I appreciate them talking to me like a friend or.a family member needing the best possible treatments at the best possible price. I look forward to more visits. Thanks guys for a great first day.

Great doctor and assistants, with the skill to numb you right the first time! After a bad experience at a previous dentist who couldn’t numb me and drilled anyway, I was nervous. Dr Lane got me numbed completely the first time and I didn’t feel a thing! Also had a great experience with my child’s first dental visit, very friendly and modern. They definitely got our family’s business for life!

I have not been to a Dentist in roughly 20 years and now I have no choice as a result. I called Lane Family Dental first thing on a Monday morning and they asked me if I could be there at Noon which was surprising as I thought being a new patient I would have to wait at least a few days or more. They told me I could fill out all the new patient forms online which was also pretty cool, easy, and time saving for me. My biggest concern was that since I had neglected to go to a dentist in so long that I was going get judged or at least lectured but that was not the case. I was treated with respect and kindness by everyone I dealt with at Lane, they explained everything to me as we went through my appointment and gave me options for both treatment and payment. Now I feel like my teeth might actually have a chance to survive some more years. Lane Family Dental came highly recommended to me and in turn I highly recommend them to you no matter how long you have been putting it off. Thank you to everyone at Lane Family Dental!

This is the second time I’ve gone here and I’m still blown away by the service and attention to detail. Prior to these guys, I used to dread dental visits. At this office, they go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy. We just had our first child three weeks ago and I had to bring him with. I hoped that he would sleep through, but of course he woke up as soon as I showed up for the appt. He was hungry, but instead of getting upset with sticking to time schedules, they encouraged me to make sure he ate enough and burped before we started. He was still fussy, so their receptionist (she is amazing) held him while their dental hygienist (she was also awesome) did my x-rays and then we tucked him in the chair with me during the cleaning. Love it! My teeth are super shiny clean and both this mamma and her baby are very satisfied customers. ^_^

I had so much built up anxiety from not going to regular dental check ups like I probably should have but the staff was phenomenal! They all made me feel comfortable, didn't judge me, and had great hospitality. The hygentist was sweet, and gentle. I have not experienced that in a long time. I'm actually excited to go back in a few months for another cleaning. From the time I walked in to the time I left I felt like I chose the right place to go.

I'm pretty self conscious about my teeth, when I went into Lane Family Dental I felt very comfortable, and welcomed as soon as I opened the door. The staff here are amazing! I also enjoy how customer based the office is with refreshments, massage chairs and Netflix. After 10 years of trying to find a good dentist, Dr. Lane is by far the best.

Ronald Chester

Al though I went a long time without teeth I am glad to have them now Dr Lane is very good he is the best dentist I have ever been to he cares about my teeth he didn't hurt me like some have in the past I would like to thank him and his staff they ate all caring and professional people I highly recommend his dental services thanks

My husband and I recently found Lane Family Dental. We are both so pleased with their professionalism, modern equipment and outstanding care. The people at the front and Dr. Lane's dental assistant are bright, cheeful and professional as well. Living in Talkeetna we are so pleased they have two offices, one being in Willow which is quite convenient. Thank you Lane Family Dental for providing such great care to the Mat-Su Valley.

About a year or so ago I discovered Lane Dental. Due to circumstances in my life I hadn’t been to a dentist in a really long time. They were very caring and kind. Since then I’ve had some teeth removed and am currently having a partial made. They have been patiently working with me and my insurance. Asia has been wonderful to work with for my scheduling and Dr. lane has been so kind and gentle. His assistants have been a real pleasure also. Thank you to the entire staff ?

Fantastic customer service! Everybody there is very friendly and easy to talk to. They explained everything that was going on with my teeth, provided a plan to get them back in good shape, and cleaned em up real nice. It may have been a while since my last trip to a dentist, but I don't remember the visits being so relaxing.
