Getting a dental implant can be exciting, especially if you've been living with missing teeth for a while. But sometimes, your mouth needs a little extra support before that step happens.

For dental procedures that need extra care, technology has made planning much easier. One tool that stands out is 3D imaging in dental care.

A good fit helps dentures feel comfortable, stay in place, and avoid sore spots that can make eating or speaking tough when the weather turns dry and cold. But [...]
In Fairbanks, winter can be rough on skin. The air outside is dry and cold, and inside, heaters pull even more moisture out of the air. This mix of freezing wind and low humidity often leaves skin looking dull, flaky, or uneven. It does not just feel dry; it can tug, itch, or even sting. [...]

When temperatures drop and snow starts piling up, things like dry air, limited daylight, and travel risks can matter [...]

Winter in Alaska can be stunning, but when you’re dealing with a sudden toothache or cracked tooth, freezing temperatures make everything feel more intense. A cold-weather dental emergency doesn’t wait for a better day, especially when pain is disrupting sleep or spreading to other parts of the face. That’s where same day tooth extraction can [...]
Wisdom teeth don’t always bring pain, but when they do, it’s hard to focus on much else. These back molars usually come in during the late teens or early twenties, and for many people, they don’t have enough room to grow in properly. If you’re in Fairbanks and wondering when it’s time to think about [...]
