Frequently Asked Questions

The most common cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, dental crowns, and contouring & reshaping. Each of these treatments can improve the appearance of the teeth, enhancing both color and shape.

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers are a popular option for those with teeth that are stained, chipped, or have gaps.

While cosmetic dentistry can offer significant improvements in the appearance of one’s smile, it’s not suitable for everyone. Candidates for cosmetic dentistry should have overall healthy teeth and gums. Issues like active gum disease, severe tooth decay, or functional dental issues might need to be addressed before cosmetic procedures can be considered.

Choosing the right cosmetic dentist involves checking their credentials, experience, and before-and-after photos of actual patients. It’s also important to consult with the dentist, ask questions about their suggested treatments, and ensure you feel comfortable with their approach and communication style.

While the primary focus of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the appearance of the mouth, some procedures can also have benefits for oral health. For example, repairing broken or chipped teeth through bonding or crowns can prevent further damage and protect against decay. Properly aligned teeth achieved through cosmetic procedures can also be easier to clean and less prone to cavities and gum disease.

Just had my second visit to Dr. Upton. On my first visit, Dr. and his assistant, Jessica, did a thorough evaluation of my situation. He asked me questions about my dental history and actually listened carefully to my concerns. Then he left to review my x-rays and options for treatment. When he returned, he gave me some options, which I REALLY appreciated. He even took into consideration my dietary habits and the fact I don't like prescription medications. Not even my physicians gave me that kind of concern!! Today I had my tooth pulled out and he took into consideration my financial situation and did it under local anesthesia, where my previous experience was done under general anesthesia. It was less expensive and totally tolerable. I'm glad that he considers the whole patient, the tolerance to pain, the budget and the treatment preferences. I also appreciate that he sat on a stool and spoke to me face to face. His office staff, Jessica, Megan and Priscilla are all equally attentive and considerate. Thank you everyone 💓! Yes, I would recommend their services to anyone in need of dental care.

I’m thankful that I found this dental practice. From the staff, upfront, to the dental assistant Kelly, and Dr. Baker, they have been absolutely wonderful. After having had previous experiences that were not ideal, I was reluctant to find a new dentist that I could trust. I read all the five star reviews for Upton & Baker and tried it out for myself, very happy that I did as they make you feel right at home. Dr. Baker is absolutely wonderful and fantastic and I can’t say enough good things about him. He’s Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Cannot recommend him more highly. Dr. Baker is so thorough and informative, and lets you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. Thank you!!

This was by far the best dental visit I have had in years. Priscilla was great assisting me with getting my appointment booked and offering me an earlier appointment when one came available. Bonnie was AMAZING!! She went very in depth in my cleaning and took the time to help me understand what she was doing and the benefits of each step, no dentist has ever taken the time to help me understand more about my gums and teeth like she did...very educational! Doctor Kevin Upton was great too, he is very friendly and personable. Will be booking all of my dentist appointments with them from now on. 10/10
