It’s been two weeks since my wisdom teeth have been removed (at 30 years old😵💫). Dr. Richard Hompesch made sure to address all my concerns and we agreed to try to take all 4 out. Thankfully it went very smoothly! A few days post op I had concerns and he was able to see me right away. I am healing just fine, and was able to manage the pain with just ibuprofen. It was a great experience, but thank gosh I don’t have to do it again 😆

Fantastic care! I highly recommend North Star Oral & Facial Surgery! There are no surprises on your care including financial responsibility and quotes. They talk you through every step during procedures and as soon as you walk through the front door you will be greeted with kindness. You will feel completely comfortable with everyone there!

Best experience ever!!! Just got two wisdom teeth taken out a few days ago. I was so very nervous about being sedated for the first time but the whole team was very compassionate and caring and took such good care of me! They even called me the next day to make sure I was doing ok! Hands down the BEST oral surgeon in Fairbanks!

Great experience with Dr. Hompesch and his team from beginning to end. Everyone was so nice. Dr. Hompesch did a great job. I'd recommend him to my family and friends.

Had four wisdom teeth extracted today, three of which were impacted and have been causing me some pain/issues for quite some time now. Absolute wild experience. I went under anesthesia and I don't even remember passing out it happened so fast. Woke up like nothing happened (was my first time ever going under anesthesia). Doctor Richard Hompesch did an amazing job, got all my teeth out in I think maybe an hour and my pain levels have been pretty moderate so far. Stopping the bleeding with gauze for the first two hours was probably the worst part but after that I could start eating soft foods. I've already downed a ton of applesauce and halo top ice cream with no issues. As someone whose never had any kind of surgery before I was extremely nervous going into this but my experience with North Star was amazing and I would highly recommend. I'm also 26 years old so I got these out later than I believe most people do.
