About Us

Valley Dental Clinic started in Wasilla in 1978.

We take the words family dentistry to a new level here at Valley Dental Clinic. Dr. Robinson II started the dental practice in 1978. As a resident of the Mat-Su Valley area, Dr. Robinson II focused on person-centered dental care. And along with his name, he passed the tradition along to his son Dr. Robinson III.

We’re proud to be a family dental practice that provides comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages.

Robert W. Robinson III, DMD

Dr. Rob has loved the lifestyle of the Matanuska Valley since he moved here from Oklahoma when he was 8. Inspired by his father’s dental practice and connection with the Wasilla community, Dr. Rob decided to pursue his bachelor of science and doctorate in dental medicine at the University of Louisville after graduating from Wasilla High in 1989.

Upon completing dental school in 1999, Dr. Rob returned to Wasilla to work alongside his father, who had started Valley Dental Clinic in 1978. Dr. Robinson II retired soon after, passing on the practice and tradition of providing exceptional dental care to the Matanuska Valley to his son. Dr. Rob is proud to honor his family’s tradition by continuing his education in dentistry, with advanced training in dental implant placement and the Bioclear Matrix technique and the creation of an office environment that is fun and welcoming for the entire Wasilla community.

Along with being a huge Oklahoma Sooner fan, Dr. Rob “loves everything Alaska” and completed the 2012 Iron Dog race. When he’s not in the office, Dr. Rob is in the woods, hunting, fishing, or snow-machining every chance he gets (business hours may be subject to change during fishing season!). He and his significant other love sharing the great outdoors with their three kids, and look forward to seeing you and your family at the clinic or on the river.
