At Kilgore Family Dentistry, we do more than fix teeth: were committed to delivering a dental experience that leaves each patient smiling and looking forward to thenext visitwhile building real connections with our patient family.

Dr. Jeffrey Kilgore is a native of Fairbanks. After finishing dental school, he returned to serve his community, and worked for seven years at the Interior Community Health Center. For five of those years he served as dental director.

Dr. Kilgore and our team are committed to assisting people through education, motivation, and painless dental care. Together, we strive to help patients achieve optimal oral health and smiles they love to share.

As a dentist, I value the opportunity to help my patients. Whether Im relieving dental pain, restoring function, making a smile a bit more attractive, or providing a check-up and recommendations, I have the chance to improve the persons life.

Its an honor to serve our community. The connections that naturally grow with patients are remarkable: I enjoy learning each persons story, hearing of their adventures and families, and getting to know them on a personal level.

I grew up here in Fairbanks and came home after dental school: I wanted to give back to the community that gave me so much and helped me become the person I am. Dentistry is my way of improving lives, one person and one smile at a time.

Im proud of the Kilgore Family Dentistry team. Each member brings knowledge, experience, and insight to the office. Everyone shares my desire to make our community healthier and happier. Together, we are committed to dental excellence and providing compassionate care.

A large part of my commitment to patients and my profession is my desire to stay at the forefront of emerging techniques and technology. Dentistry is constantly advancing, and each new option means more and better choices for my patients.

Throughout the year, I take a range of continuing dental education courses, to learnabout and evaluate the latest developments. By constantly expanding my knowledge and skills, I am able to provide each patient with the ideal care for their needs.

After completing dental school, I spent seven years working for a local nonprofit: the Interior Community Health Center. I was the dental director for five of those years. The organization will always have a special place in my heart.

I share my life with my beautiful wife and our young son, as well as two Australian Shepherds. Outside of work, keeping up with our son keeps me busy: Hes constantly on the go and its amazing to watch him learn and grow!

The best part of my job is forming lasting relationships with my patients and having them attain optimum oral health. I have the opportunity, every working day, to treat people with the utmost care and empathy; it is rewarding to build trust with patients and have them tell me theyre looking forward to their next visit!

As a hygienist, I offer one-to-one patient care: I evaluate and document patients oral health, remove plaque, stains, and calculus deposits from teeth, and apply sealants and fluoride. While working with my patients, I teach them about oral hygiene strategies and good nutrition.

Ive lived in Alaska for more than 15 years. My spouse and I have a daughter, two sons, and a fur baby: a kitten named Mitten. We enjoy the great outdoors: camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, and most adventures the state offers. Personally, I enjoy gardening, feeding the birds, and traveling. I also like volunteering in the community throughout the year.

I love getting to know my patients while educating them on oral and systemic health precautions. I feel people cannot address what they do not know, and its my job to teach them in ways they can understand so they can make healthy decisions. I appreciate the opportunity to develop connections with my patients, as we work together to improve their lives and their smiles!

My job, as a hygienist, is to provide professional, compassionate preventive dental care based on scientific evidence. In doing so, I help each patient improve their oral and overall wellness, which makes the person healthier and happier.

My husband, son, daughter, and I keep a very active lifestyle. Our long winters often include many evenings and weekends at hockey rinks. We make the best of our summers at the soccer fields, on camping trips, enjoying 4-wheeler rides, and fishing. Were everyday Alaskans!

I really enjoy helping people take control of their smiles health. Seeing someone become excited about brushing and flossing makes me smile! Its rewarding to be able to support and educate people and see them take what I offer to heart, to make real changes in their lives.

Working with patients, I take X-rays, clean their teeth, and teach each person about their dental concerns. Together, we identify areas where the patient can improve home oral hygiene routine and develop healthier habits. Seeing a clean, bright smile at a recall visit makes my day!
