Our team is committed to advanced training and continuing education.”

Adriana Almaraz

Office Manager & Dental Assistant

Texas was home for most of my life, before moving to Alaska. In Texas, I pursued my educational goals and graduated in 2011 with my degree as a licensed Dental Assistant. I have three beautiful children whom all keep me busy with their extracurricular activities, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! We all love to spend time together as a family.

In 2019, I made the best decision of my life and moved to Alaska. I knew Alaska is where my family and I were meant to be. I have always loved the outdoors, and Alaska has so much to offer! I enjoy fishing, hunting, berry picking, canning, and so much more.

I have worked at Advanced Family Dentistry of Fairbanks for 5 years. I am the office manager and a dental assistant for our practice. I have been a dental assistant for over 13 years and while I am passionate about assisting a variety of procedures, I am most passionate about my deeper edification and understanding of the field to become the best possible assistant I can be for our doctors, as well as to inform our patients on new and modernized practices to advance their knowledge as well!

Krystal

Business Manager

I was born and raised in Derby, Kansas and have lived here in Fairbanks for just shy of 2 years. My wonderful husband of 15 years, Bobby, has been serving our country through the Army for 18 years, which brought us to Alaska! I have three wonderful children, Brileigh, Hunter, and Cooper and the best fur babies of all, Ina and Mocha. In all my years of dentistry, I have enjoyed claims processing and ensuring our patients are met with quality care through each step of their appointments with us, even once they’ve gone home. Informing patients on how to optimize their insurance benefits, keeping them informed on any changes post treatment, and being their cheerleader when it comes to difficult insurance claims are some of my most fulfilling aspects of my job. When I’m not working, you can find me on the football, baseball, and softball fields watching my kids’ sporting events, crafting, and spending quality time with my husband!

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

My name is Toni Johnson, and I am one of the dental assistants here at Advanced Family Dentistry. I am from California and made my way up to Alaska 10 years ago and fell in love! The scenery and people captivated me, and I’ve found my home! A few of my favorite aspects of my job is crown design and fabrication, getting to know our patients, and showing compassion to those who may have a hard time with dental work. I pride myself in being knowledgeable chairside and explaining difficult procedures in ways that everyone can understand to ensure their comfort and that their needs are met. When I’m away from the office, I love hiking with my pal, Wilson @wilson.hikes, going to the gym, and spending time with loved ones and friends any chance I get!

Being gentle and understanding with patients from all walks of life, while creating a safe and positive environment for our guests, especially those who are nervous, is a passion of mine. In all my years of dentistry, I continue to strive to provide the best possible care that caters to the unique individual needs of each of our patients.

My passion with dentistry is exceptional patient care, even beyond the chair!
