Pediatric Dentistry

Our location at 1305 21st Ave, suite 102 in Fairbanks, Alaska has provided pediatric dental care, in addition to adult dental care, since 1981. Our goal is to provide a dental experience that eliminates the fear of new experiences and helps kids become excited to see the dentist.  We offer virtually every service possible for kids of all ages such as exams, cleanings, sealants, fillings, tooth colored or traditional stainless steel crowns/caps, extractions, space maintainers, SDF, frenulectomies, and more.  Natural looking and traditional materials are both available. Many treatment options are available for children of all ages including metal free restorations and laser and laser anesthetic/drill free fillings.  While some may tolerate dental treatment well, fear or anxiety is not uncommon. Each child is unique and may require a different approach to complete their dental treatment while avoiding potentially traumatic experiences. Although we have options for sedation, modern pediatric dental techniques and equipment has allowed us to treat the majority of our young patients without the need for sedation.  We are also happy to provide you with suggestions, methods, and tips you can use at home to help your improve your child's dental hygiene and decrease fear of dentist or dental visits.
