If you are in a Fairbanks and told that your child needs to see a specialist I highly suggest…read moregetting a second or even third opinion. My child is 7 years old and has had several cleanings and a few fillings without issue. My child had one appointment that didn't go well and we were referred to young smiles clinic. There are many factors which I won't get into here but ultimately I was very disappointed with our old dentist as well as young smiles clinic. We checked in and my child was given medication for sedation. The appointment didn't go well and my child came out crying and extremely upset about being tied down. Parents aren't allowed back with the children which might work for some but doesn't work for all children. After telling the staff I was going to try again with our regular dentist the lady (reddish blonde hair) said "your regular dentist won't see you again) which was news to me. I did try again with a regular dentist but the damage had been done and my child could not get over the trauma of being tied down. Unfortunately I don't know what happened in the back because again parents aren't allowed. After the regular appointment went south I called young smiles back and spoke at length about other options. I was pretty frantic about my child's new outlook on dental appointments and distraught at how a snowball of events had taken place without any real consideration to the child's history. I felt extremely uneasy with how my child had been referred out and how young smiles jumped straight into heavy sedation as their first option. This all happened in the last few weeks and as I was telling a mom friend about my experience her jaw hit the ground as she had a very similar experience last year. When a child has a completely normal dental history to include multiple fillings without issue I hope the in future our Fairbanks dentist will look at the whole picture and what is least invasive. Being medicated and tied down is extremely unsettling as a child I can't imagine the emotional toll. I urge parents to advocate for their children. Heavy Sedation is needed for children-sometimes but it sound never be at the top of the list for options. I understand in the pediatric dental world things can be difficult when a child is emotional or needs in-depth dental work... this was not the case for my child. I was told by three dentist the fillings were extremely easy to correct! I also urge young smiles to think about a whole child and the whole process and to please attempt the least invasive measures first. I really could go on forever about this but I will end on a happy note. I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Ingersoll at Ingersoll family dentistry for believing in my child and taking the time to talk with us and come up with a dental plan that was least invasive but also took care of the fillings! I am happy to report Dr. Ingersoll took care of my child's needs in office with simple lidocaine!!!! Parents if something doesn't feel right then please please get a second opinion. -One mom who will never ever go back to young smiles Edit to add the office was very clean.

Didn't mind the wait at all. They called the week of 3/20 to confirm the appointment.

I'll admit I was frustrated I had to get coverage for work and expressed that I couldn't move the appointment and that it was confirmed a week ago no issue.after some back and forth she called her co-workers morons and then me a bitch. I canceled my appointment and found a oral surgeon who could see me same week and it was more affordable. I won't ever go here.

Clearly stated I was in a significant amount of pain before coming in to get a crown, and so the…read moreDr. kind of brushed it off, said he would just have to get me real numb and that there was nothing he could do. Just the procedure for a simple crown was literally the worst dental experience I've ever had in my life, and not once did that Doctor stop to ask if I was okay. When everything was done I was just shown out the door with no advice or no medicine to help this now worse pain. I already can't sleep so tonight should be a blast. I will say that the assistant(s) and receptionist however, were very nice and very caring. If I didn't have to come back to get my permanent crown I would never come here again, and i don't recommend it to anyone. ---- update---- A few days later my gums were hurting really bad. Why? Because my tooth was too short for them to put a crown on... So instead of telling me they could not do it, and I'd have to go to a specialist to get a "crown lengthening" they decided just to cut my gums themselves to make room for the crown. I remember having to wait 10 - 15 before continuing with the crown because my gums were bleeding so bad. Anyway, I went back there and again, was in some pretty annoying pain. I asked them if they could give me something to help me sleep at night and instead they gave me mouthwash and sent me packing. Terrible place.

That day I had a crown done and haven't had any issues with it since. Further, I've had a filling and an implant placed here with wonderful experiences across the board. I now bring both of my children here (4 and 9) and they are welcomed by a patient and caring hygienist. Their hygienist takes the time to make sure they have the right brushing techniques and address areas they may need a little more help with. Oh and they are in network with my insurance, MetLife. They do accept the lower MetLife costs and I've only been responsible for my patient portion. My cleanings have never counted toward my max :) ~Highly recommend~
