The temporomandibular joint attaches your jaw to your skull. This joint operates somewhat like a hinge. Much like the hinge on a door, you can damage the joint due to trauma or wear over time. Therefore, any dislocation of this joint results in temporomandibular joint disease (TMJ). At Dr. Richard Crosby General & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use advanced technology to detect and treat TMJ.

I have been a patient of Dr Crosby since 2019. From the very first appointment I was greeted with professionalism and authenticity by himself and his staff. The atmosphere is very calming, soothing and relaxing. It's always been a unique and genuine experience. I highly recommend Dr Crosby with his staff Eva and Crystal to be your choice of any needed dental work. Amazing people and exemplary denistry.

I am visiting Anchorage, living in Florida. On April 9th while eating, my back molar broke a piece off. My family had gone to Dr. Crosby and have had excellent service. I called them on Sunday and left a message. They called me Monday morning and opened up a time for me to come that day for X-ray. Dr. Crosby said he could make a crown in his office.
His office staff, this was Eva, was so polite and professional and secured an appointment on the 12th. I have a robust fear of dental work and prepared for the worse. Dr Crosby put all my anxiety to rest, prepared my tooth, made a new crown in his office and in two hours total walked out with a perfectly fitted crown. I had no pain even after the numbness wore off. Dr Crosby even called that evening just to make sure all was well.
I strongly recommend Dr Crosby for your dental work. My insurance plan requires me to pay up front and then submit the claims via mail. Eva had all the claim forms filled out for me including a stamped envelope already addressed. Maybe I can just designate Dr Crosby as my primary dentist as I visit Anchorage 3-4 times a year.

Couldn't recommend Dr Crosby and his staff more. We are new-ish to anchorage and my wife and I have both seen him. Both of us for cleanings and some more major work for me. Cleanings were a breeze, it is a high tech office so don't be worried about a lot of manual hand tools scraping against your teeth.it's painless and actually enjoyable. I have a lot of apprehension about going to dentist due to some traumatic injuries in the past.
I had to get a 3 tooth bridge today due to my temporary flipper breaking. Again, super high tech! Getting the local anesthetic is often the worst part, instead of a traditional syringe, he uses a pump that controls the administration and you don't even feel the shot. As for the bridge, no more sloppy molds and waiting two weeks.everything in your mouth is scanned digitally and Dr Crosby creates your bridge/crown based on the 3D imagery, which then sends the finished product to a Cnc-type machine to mill your crown or bridge out of a solid piece of porcelain.
The whole experience is done in a few hours and you walk out with your final bridge. Through my middle and high school years, I spent a ton of time in a dental chair from my teeth being knocked out twice. Due to this, i have some experience with dentists and can confidently say that my time with Dr Crosby and staff for minor cleanings or major dental work was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had in one of those chairs.
If you're new in town and need a new dentist, or if you are just looking for a better experience.look no further. Call Dr Crosby and don't look back. Small office, great people, good conversation, and a good learning opportunity throughout. I look forward to going in again for my next cleaning. That's not something I've ever said before. To top it all off, I got a call at 7pm the night of my bridge, to my surprise it was Dr Crosby checking in to make sure everything was ok. He did the same thing the night before my wife went in for her first cleaning. Name another dentist that'll do that.it was a first for us.

I had a dental emergency. Not a patient. Dr Crosby was able to get me in quickly. He reviewed the different options with me. He discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the options and I made the choice. He was able to do the initial visit, x-rays, and procedures the same day. I have sensitivities towards the pain medications. He provided a great alternative. I will and have recommended him to everybody I have come in contact with.

I have never had positive experiences with dentistry and have had very traumatic procedures in early adulthood. I associated pain and fear with anything related to my teeth. Needless to say, I avoided dentistry and suffered. My entire life I have had issues with my jaw and bite. Dr. Crosby and his team not only changed my anxiety and fear with dentistry but provided lasting comfort for my chronic TMJ condition.
The process was smooth and noninvasive. The treatment required no major surgeries to correct my major jaw misalignment. More importantly, I saw improvement immediately. My migraines, stiffness, and discomfort are now gone, and I wear my orthotic everyday. I regret not doing this sooner, but am so very happy that I DID! If you suffer from poor sleep, jaw pain, and frequent headaches please consider a consult with Dr. Crosby. You will be so glad that you did! I cannot thank his clinic enough!

Where do I start! Dr. Richard Crosby and his staff are amazing professionals who exceed anyones expectations. They provide top notch services from the moment you walk into the office. The transformation that I experienced from the moment I went in for a consultation to getting my smile transformed was nothing short of amazing. My teeth were in pretty bad shape from years of avoiding the dentist and only going in when it was necessary, my smile was nonexistent due to the embarrassment of showing my worn down teeth, not a pretty sight, I also suffered severe anxiety going to the dentist.
Long story short, I can now smile with confidence and know that my teeth look amazing, totally changed my life and that's a fact. I would highly recommend Dr. Crosby and his staff to anyone who may have experienced negative dental care in the past or need the confidence of a beautiful smile. My experience through the entire process was like no other, he is excellent at what he does and uses the latest technology.
I will say, Dr. Crosby will restore teeth if all possible rather than removing, I had a tooth that was about as close as you can get to having to get it removed, Dr. Crosby was able to save the tooth and put a crown on it, how amazing is that! I literally have to learn to smile again and I am beyond thrilled! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We live in Rural Alaska, which makes getting extensive dental treatment a bit of a challenge. Dr. Crosby, Eva, and the rest of their team have been very accommodating, keeping us informed about how many visits the dental plan would take, working with us to get the best travel schedule and appointment dates, and best of all, delivering a quality product.
My husband's smile is more beautiful than the first day I met him. The hubby has nothing but praise for the excellent treatment, and follow-up appointments when needed, and we both would recommend Dr. Crosby and team with the highest regards.

Dr. Crosby is the best dentist I have ever had! An excellent experience with Dr. Crosby and his staff. I had issues with an old crown, 30 plus years, so I shopped dentists for a solution that wouldn't break my bank account. It was wonderful to save money, and I was able to get the rest of my dental work done. His prices/services were fantastic! I will continue using his office; because, they were very thorough, caring, and the entire staff went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable for all the work I had done.
It's not often one will find a dentist with a deep desire to provide the best possible care for his patients and my many, diverse needs. There is no other dentist I would go to or recommend!, in fact I've referred many friends and family. When you find the best, you keep it!

Dr. Crosby is amazing! I told him about my fears of being in the dental chair and he was so sweet about it. He let me use his iPod to listen to music while working on me since I forgot my headphones and did everything he could to make me feel comfortable. Him and his staff are very sweet and professional, not to mention it's a very clean and does amazing work! Would HIGHLY recommend his dental practice for any work needed :

I've been with Dr. Crosby since I was 17. He treated me with Invisalign and gave me a perfect smile. Years later, I stopped wearing my retainer, like any busy person would. I was crowned Miss Alaska USA 2018 and I knew I was going to be doing numerous photoshoots throughout the year. He was able to contour the front of my smile and add some bonding resin to reshape some teeth to my idea of perfect.
And has given me numerous whitening trays. (Even though he always says I'm perfect just the way I am.) I've never been so confident in my smile. I get routine cleanings with my favorite hygienist. His wonderful assistant always has a smile on her face and great bedside manner. He's an amazing family dentist and all ages, young or mature, will benefit from his work and his amazing staff.

From the moment you walk through the door, you know that you are in capable hands. You are warmly greeted. The offices are beautiful and then there is Dr. Crosby. This in an Alaskan, has a dazzling smile. Frankly, seeing a dentist that can do a crown, right there in his office, in an hour! Sort of amazing. By far, best dentist I have ever seen.

Dr. Rich Crosby and his staff provide excellent dental care. There is never a wait. The time for a cleaning, or when I received a porcelain overlay, is minimal. And the results, nothing but perfection. I am very happy to have the mercury fillings removed from my teeth. Thank you, Rich for taking such good care of me. I truly appreciate the thoroughness and no pain! I love the feel of the office. The personalities are great. It is always a pleasure to go in for a check up!

I have received many positive comments on my smile and it's definitely added to my smiling more often and with confidence. My sincere thanks to Dr. Crosby an staff! Sincerely, Patrick S. Egger
