Phyllis Pendergrast, DMD PC

Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Highest quality care from X-rays techs, hygienists, both dentists, front desk staff and billing staff! Very clean and sanitary, lots of attention to infection control. Even the restroom is flawless. Attention to detail is everywhere. My teeth are good for the most part, but my few fillings have been flawless, barely felt the injections. My hygienist is great as well. My wife has had more problems with her teeth, but she also feels like the care has been exceptional, and proactive. Her teeth would be in much worse shape if not for their care. I would recommend Dr Pendergrast and her clinic without hesitation!

I went in for a new patient appointment with Grace and Dr Summerfelt, and they were both so considerate and good at their jobs. It was by far the best dentist experience I’ve ever had, I felt comfortable enough to ask questions and they answered them honestly and thoroughly. I also had a cleaning with Sally and she was excellent; she made the cleaning quick and comfortable for me. I highly recommend Dr Pendergrast’s office to anyone who doesn’t like going to the dentist!

I think it’s been 5 years now and Dr Pendergrast and team continue with excellent professional care. Had my cleaning this month and saw a new hygienist. Never a worry as they are all so talented and good at their professions. I used to have Valium before dentist appointments but not anymore. If your looking for a new dentist give their office a call. You’ll know why after your first visit!

I was in the military for a long time and had to use military dentist then used a civilian dentist right after I got out. Those were both terrible experiences that really did some bad things to my teeth also costing me a lot of money. Dr. Somerfelt had to go in and fix so many issues that past dentists messed up along the way. She is the best dentist I have ever seen in my life. She is someone that puts you at ease and gets it done right the very first time. I have never been satisfied like this with a dental experience. This past year I have had to get extensive dental work done to fix past mess ups and she has done an outstanding job and I couldn't be more impressed with her and the rest of the staff. The office is the cleanest I have ever seen and its very welcoming.

Great staff very professional. Had a fantastic filling experience with Dr Somerfelt and possibly a newer hygienist-Dana?! They worked great together and I really could have slept through the morning procedure.

My experience here overall was a good one. Dr. Pendergrast and her staff are both friendly and helpful. She is pleasant to work with and does a good job. I had her remove two old amalgam fillings and replace them with composite material, and I am happy with the work.

My rating:

Quality of work: Excellent
Pricing: Higher than I'm used to paying for high quality dental care
Availability of care: appointments are available within a week or two of calling (not common in Fairbanks)

Recommendation:
For patients looking for high quality care: YES
For patients needing work soon: YES
For patients on a tight budget: NO

I’ve been with Dr Pendergast for over 10 years and she and her staff have kept my teeth clean and healthy. I do cleanings every 6 months and on my last cleaning they noticed an old crown was on its last leg so today we replaced a crown and it was so easy. I was numbed and the old crown taken off the temporary was placed on . I don’t like having dental visits in general but I don’t shy away when I need work done anymore thanks to Dr Pendergast and her staff.

Dr Pendergrast and staff are very professional and the ambiance is amazing! I have a VERY HIGH stress level going to the dentist and they do not take that lightly! Her patience is outstanding Plus her explanation and thorough work is hard to beat! I highly recommend this dental office!!!

All the staff are friendly, efficient, compassionate. They are excellent practitioners who care for each individual. They use state of the art dental equipment and procedures and all staff are engaged with all procedures. Dr. Pendergast and her team are always training and learning. My dental care is superb.

Dr. Pendergrast and her amazing team have completely changed my outlook on dentistry. The entire team goes above and beyond to ensure each visit is a great one from arrival to departure. Extra steps are taken to ensure that all of my needs are being met and my comfort level is always top priority. Thank you all!!
