Dr. Fernando Barrera

Finding a dental practice in a spread-out city like Fairbanks means looking for convenience without sacrificing professional care. Dr. Fernando Barrera operates a full-service clinic at the corner of 21st Avenue, where routine cleanings to complex treatments are handled under one roof. The office sits inside the midtown medical plaza on the second floor, just east of the UAF campus bus loop. Patients navigating the area’s industrial and commercial zones will spot the building by the row of dental signs lining the corridor.

A next-door pharmacy and nearby auto-repair shop suggest this stretch of 21st Avenue is geared toward practical needs, and the dental clinic slots in neatly. On arrival, visitors can park along the street or use the lot shared with the neighboring retail strip. Inside, the practice handles crowns and bridges alongside fillings and extractions, accepting most major insurance carriers through an in-house billing team.

While many Fairbanks dentists focus on either adults or children, this clinic appears to treat the full age range—something worth checking if you’re coordinating appointments for a family. If you need a panoramic X-ray or a quick fluoride treatment, the suite includes digital imaging and a separate operatory wing. Confirming coverage and scheduling a first visit can be done in one call instead of back-and-forth messages.

To reach the practice from downtown, head north on Cushman, turn left on 21st, then take the second parking entrance marked with suite numbers. Once you’re on site, the map (https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x51325ab15deb37bb:0xead755782b78e845) pinpoints the exact door without circling the block. Call (907) 479-6400 to verify insurance acceptance or request the next available hygiene slot.
