Long in the Tooth Family Dentistry: Daniel Long, DDS

Dental care on the Kenai Peninsula isn’t just about routine cleanings—it’s often the first line of defense in a region where access to specialists can mean a long drive. Long in the Tooth Family Dentistry: Daniel Long, DDS fits into that landscape as a general practice handling everything from pediatric exams to dentures, with fillings, extractions, and crowns filling out the gaps between. The office sits along the Sterling Highway at 34115 Sterling Hwy, Anchor Point, AK 99556, a stretch where practical services cluster between the turnoffs for fishing spots and the occasional moose crossing. Unlike urban clinics with narrow specialties, a practice here tends to cover broader ground—because when the nearest endodontist is an hour away, versatility isn’t optional.

Anchor Point’s dental options are sparse, so a single provider often becomes the default for families, retirees, and commercial fishermen alike. Routine care overlaps with emergency patches; a chipped tooth from a weekend ATV mishap gets the same attention as a child’s first cavity check. Questions about insurance or same-day availability are best directed to the front desk by phone at (907) 226-3700. For those mapping out the drive—whether coming from Homer or Soldotna—the directions plot a straightforward route along the highway, where the clinic shares the road with gas stations and the occasional bald eagle perched on a signpost.
