I was born and raised in Alaska, attended school at ACU, and graduated with my BA in business administration. I began my career with Nordstrom, which took me everywhere from Boston to Seattle. After realizing there truly is no place like home, I made my way back to Alaska and joined Northern Smiles Orthodontics in 2013. My very favorite part of this job is connecting with our patients. We get to be a part of their lives and smile story, and its something theyll never forget. We are gifted with the chance to witness the transformation of confidence and that just touches my heart and makes me love coming to work every day. The best part of being on this team is the diverse group I get to work with. Thegroup has such a variety of interests, personalities, experience, and talents, that it makes it a breeze for our patients to find someone they connect with. I love all things adventure: hiking, biking, glamping, and road trips. Some of my hobbies include volunteering, yoga, running, art projects, garage sales, refinishing furniture, and campfire cooking! I am a happiness junkie, amateur gardener, family-tradition starter, coffee aficionado, fishing fool, and by day a smile maker!
I went to dental assisting school in 2011 in Taylorsville, Utah, and worked in general dentistry until 2015 when I was hired at Northern Smiles Orthodontics. I love what we do here! I love being part of a team that works together to change lives by perfecting peoples smiles. I love feeling the joy and appreciation that is exerted when a patient finishes treatment and leaves our office with a perfect smile. It is incredibly rewarding! Our team is the best! We are all a big family that is fully dedicated to doing everything we can to make every patient comfortable and happy. I have a wonderful daughter, Lilly, who is seven years old and is the love of my life. Some of my favorite things are hiking, painting, and reading. I was raised in Alaska, so I love the outdoors!
I graduated from dental assisting school in 2002. I am passionate about smiles and love seeing our patients lives change because of orthodontic treatment. I cherish the friendships I make with our patients and their parents, and I feel very proud to see the joy in their faces as we work together to improve their smiles. I always feel happy walking into the office. I love working with a team that builds each other up. I always find myself laughing with my coworkers, and Dr. Johnson makes work a fun and relaxing place to be. I grew up in Fairbanks, where I worked in a family-run dog-mushing store. I enjoy spending time with my amazing husband, two daughters, and big dog named Buddy.
I was born and raised in Alaska. I love hiking, fishing, snowboarding, biking and running. I am the mother of twin boys who keep me busy with sports and cub scouts. After high school, I lived in Germany for a year and traveled through Europe. I love seeing the impact my job has on people and seeing how a new smile can change their lives.
I grew up on the Kenai Peninsula. I love spending time with my family, which includes my beautiful daughter, my other half, and 2 doggies. Summer is my favorite time of year and we enjoy every bit of sunshine by being outdoors going on walks, four wheeling, camping, and biking, and sitting by a bonfire.
I grew up in Alaska and love to shop and travel. My favorite celebrity is Jessie James Decker who I have not only seen in concert multiple times, but has gotten to meet in person. ( I have a photo to prove it! I spend a lot of time with my younger brother and love camping in the summer.
I was born in Fairbanks, but grew up in Anchorage. I spend most days with my lovely four children, three grand children, four dogs, and one cat. I go on adventures every chance I can with my best friend and husband, Ken. When Im not out exploring our beautiful state of Alaska, I enjoy drawing, painting, and crafting. I love all holidays and comedies.
I grew up in Nome, Alaska and am the only boy of 6 kids. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball and enjoying all that Alaska has to offer! My beautiful wife Jaclyn and I have 3 kids, 2 boys and a baby girl. I also enjoying spending time with my second family at Unite Church. I look forward to meeting you and sharing a part of my servants heart with you.

My family LOVES Northern Smiles! So much so that we drive from Palmer all the way to Anchorage ( hour drive) for our tooth care! The staff, the atmosphere, the extra miles they do for their patients is TOP notch. Hands down the best orthodontist's office on planet earth my friends.

I am so impressed with Dr. Johnson and his staff. We travel up to his office from Homer, which can be tricky. Everyone in the office is super friendly and helpful. We have to arrange appointments that work for our long day of travel and they have been very accommodating. Last week my son broke a band in his double chain just 2 weeks after our last visit. I was fearing another all day event to get it fixed, but my husband happened to be going to Anchorage for work. They had him come into the office while he was up there and showed him how to fix it. When he got home last night he was able to do exactly what they showed him. Life saver! And my husband said, "they have won my business!" This is true as we have more children that will need braces in the coming years. The Northern Smiles team makes it worth the extra miles.

Today, I had a chance to meet an exceptional team of professionals. They provide excellent service from the time you walk into their office and leave with a beautiful smile on your face! They will work with you to make sure you are absolutely happy with the treatment results and that you leave with the smile you have dreamed of! The staff is professional, fun, and friendly and makes sure that as a patient, you feel not only welcomed and treated well, but comfortable and happy. This is #1 ortho office to go to in town if you want to have the best of the best. Recommend them 100% if you want excellent service and results!

Northern Smiles Orthodontics is the absolute the best. I moved to Eagle River and I continued to drive in for my appointments, solely because of my experience there. Every single team member that I have met are phenomenal. I am beyond pleased with the level of care that I received at Northern Smiles. I am very busy and being able to schedule appointments far enough in advance that I can come in early in the day is amazing. I have received nothing but knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind service. I love how engaging the office is and how supportive Dr Johnson is of his patients' life endeavors, beyond the office walls. I could not be more pleased with my experience at Northern Smiles.

As an adult that had braces I would highly recommend Dr. Johnson and everyone at Northerner Smiles. I would drive up from the Kenai Peninsula and would do it again in a heartbeat. My smiles is amazing now, worth every penny and more. Had a great experience. Super clean office and professional staff.

We have been so happy with northern smiles. From the very first appointment it has been a great experience. The staff has always been friendly and my son looks forward to coming, it's never been a negative experience for him. We are on round one of braces and I'm grateful this is where our pediatric dentist office referred us.
