Making smiles in Fairbanks wider and brighter since 1992.

Welcome to Fairbanks Dental Center. We were founded in 1992 and moved to our current location on Airport Way in 1999. Over the years, we have expanded into a multi-doctor office to better serve our patients as well as provide each other continued professional support. With several practitioners it allows our patients to receive the most modern and quality care possible.  

Our mission is to create a comforting and caring dental environment. Your dental concerns are our first priority. By combining the latest technology with traditional techniques, we give our patients the best care in Fairbanks. Advances in technology such as 3-D imagery, dental implants and CEREC restorations allow us to serve our patients better.

Regardless if you are a routine patient or haven't visited a dentist in years, we are here to serve you. Come see us today.
