You can find our office at 102 10th Avenue in the beautiful log cabin on the corner. Our office features a convenient location and a gorgeous log cabin ambiance. We also use the latest dental equipment, cutting-edge oral care methods, and state of the art sterilization systems all in a historic, original Fairbanks home. Inside, we strive to provide a relaxed atmosphere to soothe frazzled nerves. Our doctor projects a very comforting presence, our staff are caring, and even our background music has been carefully chosen to help you feel relaxed and calm. This relaxing and stress-free atmosphere is enhanced by our teams energetic and upbeat attitudes. Our team has been together for many years, and we are all dedicated towards providing high quality care while offering patient comfort as well.
On your first visit to our dental office, we will discuss and work with you to develop a suitable dental treatment plan that matches your particular needs and budget. Bring your current insurance card if you have dental insurance coverage. If you dont have an insurance card, you should note your subscriber number, your group number, and your phone number. We will need this information to save time and to enable us lend the assistance youll need in processing your insurance claim. On your visit visit, we will discuss your oral care needs. For most patients, the first visit includes a thorough teeth cleaning as part of treatment. We will also most likely take the crucial photographs and radiographs of your mouth so that we can properly develop accurate diagnoses and plan the most effective treatment solutions.
Younger patients who are not yet 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian on their first visit. If youre on any medications, you should inform us of this right away as this may affect your treatment. These medications include heart medications, anticoagulant therapy, or even aspirin. You should also tell us if youve been diagnosed with any medical condition. These conditions include high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, and rheumatic fever. These conditions will affect the kind of procedures we can best suggest to help with your oral care. In addition, you should also inform us if you have artificial joints and heart valves.
If your doctor or your previous dentist has taken any X-rays within the last year, please have them sent to our dental office. The information they contain can help us with your oral health care. Any digital radiograph can simply be sent to us as an attachment to an email message. Additional films can be sent to our office.
Its been almost 10 years since Dr. Sawdy hired me fresh out of dental school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio to work with him. Now I have the privilege of being the proud owner of Neibaur Dental, Inc. and continuing our legacy of great patient care. I always have big plans and look forward to implementing them over the next few years.
I am proud to call Fairbanks, Alaska home with its eclectic cast of characters and personalities. I feel more and more Alaskan after each winter survived. I thought I knew what winter was from growing up on a potato farm in southeast Idaho, but I know better now. I love spending my off time adventuring through the backcountry of Alaska and am steadily exploring more and more of this great state. Some of my favorites have included packrafting in the Alaska Range, regularly fat biking through the Goldstream Valley, climbing Mt. Prindle with my dogs and looking for secret fishing holes across the interior. My three boys, Stratton, Dashell, and Pilot always keep life interesting, and my wife, Whitney, keeps me grounded. They all join me in our love of the outdoors and you can usually find us fishing, camping, hiking, snowmachining, and all around taking advantage of all that Alaska has to offer.
I am passionate about my role as a dentist and want to be known for my quality care and comfortable approach. I am eager to find the best solution for you. Furthering my dental education in the interest of adding additional services that will benefit my patients and help fulfill their dental needs and aesthetic desires is a cornerstone of my practice. I actively participate with a local Spear Education study club and am an active member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the North Central Dental Association, and the Alaska Dental Association.

Really appreciate the professionalism at Neibaur Family & General Dentistry. We were able to get our entire family in for appointments during the same time period. Appointments were seamless due to the helpfulness of staff, organization, and dental expertise. Thank you again, Addie.

I just moved to Fairbanks and established care with Dr. Neibaur. I thought I was ok to use my dental insurance that was set to expire at the end of the month that my (and my husband's) appointment was scheduled for. Frustratingly, I have received a $500 bill (less what my insurance did reimburse me for). When speaking with Dr. Neibaur's office, it was explained to me that they made note of how much my insurance covered for services, but that they don't look into how the insurance company applies that coverage to the services they provide. I made it very clear to his office that I was looking to use my insurance before it expired and that if I couldn't use it, that I would wait until my new insurance kicked in. I'm very disappointed how this turned out as I feel I was misled to believe I (and my husband) was covered for a simple cleaning visit. According to his receptionist, Dr. Neibaur feels they handled the insurance inquiry properly and so the only thing they will do is allow me to make payments. I'm giving two stars because the visit was good and I liked Dr. Neibaur, but beware of running into this issue with them if you are new to this area and are using out of state insurance. I recommend doing the legwork yourself or waiting until your new insurance kicks in.

The whole staff is friendly and patient. I had x-rays and a cleaning done. I wasn't stabbed like with most dental hygienists! They also paused when they asked me a question so I could actually answer. I would recommend this place to anyone, excluding for kids 2 and under.

The staff is amazing. They're always friendly, Sara always has my insurance information worked out so I know how much I have left in my plan. Kate has cleaned my teeth a few times now and is great! I HATE flossing, but I'm never made to feel small about it. Instead they give me other options to keep my pearly whites in tip top condition. Dr Neibaur always remembers me and my family and genuinely takes an interest in getting updates. My whole family comes here and we love it!

I am a regular there at the dental clinic. They greet me nicely and we carry on conversations that were left six months before. Always a pleasant and entertaining visit. Dr. Niebaur enjoys getting to know his patients. To top it off, I was having a rough Monday morning and long stories short, I smelled a little like diesel because my shoes were covered in it. One of the front desk ladies offered to take my shoes and wash them there in their laundry room since my appointment was roughly two hours in length. I accepted the offer and my shoes came back to me clean as a whistle. Couldn't be better than that with their customer service. What dentist office has ever offered to wash a patient's shoes? I doubt not one has. The dentistry is top notch as well to say the least. Highly recommend and you won't be disappointed.

Great dental service, however, service on behalf of reception was lacking. Thank you for being so fair and generous Dr. Neibert, and awesome teeth cleaning from your staff member. Getting billed so late multiple times, even 4 months after, would be hard on anyone and was something I was not use to experiencing.I was having financial difficulty, health issues, and was pretty pregnant at the time so some frustration was definitely being vented. I wished I could have received more sympathy and politeness when talking with staff over the phone and in person, ie. interruptions and being rushed off the phone, it would have made my experience a thousand times better. I apologize for any inconveniece this caused.

Whole family goes to Dr. Niebaur's office for years now. Always great service. No need to dread your dentist appointment here! Very professional dental work in every aspect, with a staff especially trained to work with kids and skiddish adults. Administratively, you know your cost upfront, they take care of all billing and schedule you to get the most out of your dental insurance. Highly recommend!

From the friendly front desk gals to the knowledgeable dental hygienists and dentist, my kids and I have always been warmly greeted and treated in the most professional and caring way. Dr Neibaur's staff will do everything to lessen the pain of dealing with insurance billing problems AND fear of the dental chair. Highly recommended for children and adult patients!
