Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are dentists whospecialize in surgery of the mouth, face, and jaws. After four years of dental school, they receive four to seven years of hospital-based surgical and medical training, which prepares them to do a wide range of procedures, including all types of surgery for both the bones and soft tissues of the face, mouth, and neck.
Frederick L. Steinbeck, D.D.S., M.D., is one of only a few oral surgeons in the Kentucky/Ohio/Indiana area who holds both a Doctorate of Dental Surgery and a Doctor of Medicine degree. In addition, Dr. Steinbeck is a member of Childrens Hospital Craniofacial Anomaly Team. He is among the most experienced and respected oral surgery specialists in the Tri-State area, with more than 20 years in practice.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
I handle the day-to-day business issues so Dr. Steinbeck can concentrate on his patients. Mostly, this involves managing personnel, payroll, and expenses. Ive worked in dentistry as a dental hygienist since 1976 and have been proud to be a part of Dr. Steinbecks team since 1990. Its a joy to work with a group of such capable and hard-working people.
When Im not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband Tim. We enjoy traveling or just chilling with a glass of wine. I have two awesome boys, Zachary and Logan, and a beautiful daughter-in-law, Andrea. I am an avid dog lover and have two very spoiled toy poodles, Clooney and Tinker. For my me time, I enjoy massaging and riding horses.
My role here includes maintaining accounts receivable and collections, while making sure Dr. Steinbecks values are being fulfilled. Ive had the pleasure of working with patients and helping them with their dental needs since starting with this office in 2004. Our office is a wonderful place, with a calm atmosphere and a truly great team.
I assist patients with their checkout procedures, as well as provide pre-treatment estimates and other administration duties. Its been a lot of fun working here since I started in 2001. I enjoy meeting new people and making their visit as painless as possible! I love the camaraderie I share with Dr. Steinbeck, our team, and our patients!
I was trained as a surgical assistant at Northern KentuckyOccupational Center in 1988 and joined this office in 1991. We have been a team for a long time theyre my family outside of my other family! I help to prepare the patient for surgery, hookup themonitors, and start IV. Iassist Dr. Steinbeck during surgery and prepare instruments for sterilization after surgery. My favorite part of my job is getting to meet new people every day, especially those who require a little extra TLC.
I have the most amazing family. I have three children whom I adore and two fur babies. I love to cook and spend time with mygreat-nephews, niece, and nephews. I am the youngest of four sisters. I lost my mother recently; not a day goes by I dont think of her. She was truly my best friend.
I am here to help Dr. Steinbeck with all aspects of our patients surgical care. I have more than 40 years of experience in the dental field and am anesthesia certified. Our office is a great work environment with great people. I love working with my team!
I work closely with patients to prepare them for treatment:ensuring they are comfortable, monitoring their vitals, and checking on them during recovery time until theyre ready to be released to go home. I am a registered dental assistant with more than 35 years of experience, the past five of which have been in this office. I get great satisfaction from the gratitudeand positive feedback from our patients for our efficient and excellent care.
I spend a lot of time with our patients because I am with them before, during, and after their procedure. I also get to meet the patients escort, which is usually a family member. This interaction with the patient and their families is my favorite part of my job. Working with wonderful coworkers is great perk! After many years together, we flow together pretty seamlessly. Dr. Steinbeck creates the ultimate working environment by having a state-of-the-art facility with the latest and greatest technology. Being curious by nature, I ask many medical questions, which Dr. Steinbeck answers in a patient and informative manner. He is a great teacher!
My husband and I have been married for more than 25 years, and were blessed with a son and a daughter. We love dogs, sports (especially Michigan football and Xavier basketball), and family gatherings.
I assist with the surgical aspects of our patients care. I enjoy assisting with a variety of dental procedures and seeing all the positive outcomes in our patients health and function. Working with a great office staff is another bonus! Everyone is kind, friendly, and helpful. They are friends, not just coworkers and a boss.
Ive been married to my husband Larry for more than a quarter century. We have two adult sons, Kyle and Corey. I enjoy our fur babies, Charley and Riley the dogs, and Jasper the cat. The most important thing to me is family time.
We are committed to providing the highest quality of clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Dr. Steinbeck and staff enjoy getting to know each patient and thefamily, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.

The Dr seemed like he has experience on extractions, which I don't know for sure because I canceled my appointment. The front office is the problem. I will edit my review according to their attitude in following days and write things in detail.

Fantastic experience! Got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and the staff was great. I am petrified of needles and they made it such an easy a mind stress free experience. This will be where I go for an oral procedure.

Very excellent work and experience removing 2 lower wisdom tooth. Great staff and nurses. Was very quick in and out. Best place would recommend for extraction or any other oral surgery. Dr Steinbeck has been great throughout the process.

Just had all of my wisdom teeth removed a few days ago. In and out quick and recovery is going smoothly so far. They were very kind, eased my anxieties, and made the surgery as comfortable as possible.

Dr. Steinbeck and his staff are amazing. I was in and out in under an hour for 4 extractions and I feel great post op! The nurses were very comforting (I have a fear of needles!!), this was my best experience with getting an IV.

Everyone in the office was so friendly, helpful and accommodating! Dr. Steinbeck was so patient with me and took my concerns to heart in helping make the decision to use a general anesthetic. I felt VERY confident in his ability and after care.

I had an emergency infected wisdom tooth with a cavity that was killing me! I kept putting it off cause i am a big baby. It got worse and i couldn't take anymore. Dr. Steinbeck got me in during the Covid-19 stay at home order and i was out within a half hour. No pain at all! Great job and if i have to get another tooth pulled, he's the man!

If I could give Dr. Steinbeck negative 5 stars I absolutely would. I've had 2 prior extractions by him that went great but today was one of the most barbaric, unethical experiences I have EVER endured in the medical field. I was scheduled for 3 extractions under anesthesia (total lack of consciousness). I was charged over $1200 & gave the receptionist the check when I got there. I went in the back & they were unable to get a good IV in me to give me the medication to put me under (which during this process, I learned I was to be given propanol, which is IV sedation, not total lack of consciousness like I was told & had paid for). They were unable to sedate me so Dr. Steinbeck asked if I wanted to go ahead & do the extractions w/ Novocain. I told him no several times due to a traumatic experience as a child which I had already told one of the nurses about. Dr. Steinbeck completely ignored me & went ahead & performed 2 of the extractions while I was telling him to stop & screaming through out the procedure. It wasn't until he went to pull the tooth on the other side that I was finally able to scream loud enough & turn my head & cover my mouth, preventing him from extracting the 3rd tooth that he finally stopped. At this point I was experiencing a severe panic attack & crying hysterically as they shoved gauze in my mouth & told me to be quiet or they wouldn't allow my boyfriend back to see me. They said I was "scaring" the other patients in the waiting room (my bf later told me he couldn't hear me screaming in the waiting room, it wasn't until they allowed him in the back that he heard me). I told them I just wanted to leave & they said I had to leave in a wheelchair since I had been under "sedation." Even though I was completely conscious the entire time & able to walk/navigate just fine. I got up out of the wheelchair and went to leave, asking the nurse on my way why they did that to me... she just looked at me with sad eyes. I got outside and ran across the street to my bf's car just as Ft. Thomas police were pulling up. He stopped & asked if I was ok & my bf told him I just had surgery. He then went over to Dr. Steinbeck's office where the nurses were waiting outside to speak to the officer, as they were the ones who had called. I'm still not sure why... perhaps to cover their own butts for the malpractice they had just submitted me to. I was given no pain medication, only more trauma to add to my PTSD. Thus far I have received no refund for the anesthesia I did not get, nor the 3rd extraction that was not performed. He seemed more concerned about cashing that $1200+ check than he was about my safety, health or experience. I would not recommend Dr. Steinbeck to anyone but a child predator.

I was referred by my dentist who told me Steinbeck is the best in the area so I went to him. On the day of my appointment I was told about the procedure and what was going to be done. I was given a estimate on how much it was going to cost and that was what I paid up front on the day of my surgery. My mom came with me on the day of my surgery so that she would make sure I get home safely but she doesn't drive so she ended up calling a cab. Of course that cab was late and the ladies went above and beyond their job and took me, my mom and my sister home that morning. I honestly don't understand these couple bad reviews. I would recommend any of my friends to Steinbeck.
