The Fairbanks periodontal Practice staff was very welcoming and their new office space was warmed by the sunshine and fall weather! Debbie, Crystal and Dr. Webster were attentive to my Peridontal needs. They put me at ease, by answering questions I had and provided informative videos on implants and replacement devices. I have a long way to go in my treatment but feel assured I'm in good hands!

I was not at all pleased with the service by Dr. Webster; horrible bedside manner. I would give 0 stars if I could! I went in on a consult from my dentist not knowing what to expect. When I arrived the assistant at the front counter was very cordial and gave me a tablet to sign in. Upon entering the examination area, I was prepped and photos were taken, then I was given a video to watch instead of an actual consultation from Dr. Webster. Unfortunately not only did the doctor not take the time to review why I had the consult or what I could expect, she also did not inform me of what would happen during the examination or what information would be gained from it. Without any warning, Dr. Webster proceeded to painfully poke at my gums to take measurements. She then informed me that a few teeth would need to be removed and that a "special" deep cleaning would be needed to get my gums back to normal. This special cleaning could only be done at their office as it was not the same as what a dentist does and it would be 3 cleanings and cost approx. $4,000.00. Plus, I was charged almost $600 for one initial examination, when I also have insurance. Worst & most expensive experience ever. I since went to another periodontist who is SOOOOO much more friendly, informative & affordable.
