About

Upton and Baker DDS - Wake Forest

A Deep History

Our long standing practice can boast a feat that few others can- we’ve been enhancing the oral health of people across the Wake Forest community for over 40 years! And while the world has changed quite a bit since then, our core mission has remained the same: to provide our patients with high quality dental care in a friendly and honest environment. As our practice continues to expand its reach, we are eager to collaborate with new faces to elevate the look and function of their smiles.

 

 

A Focus on Prevention

We’re capable of rectifying almost any dental mishap, but we try to help our patients avoid problems whenever possible.  Many common dental issues, across every stage of life, can be avoided if patients practice the proper oral health habits that their smiles require. That is why our practice focuses on preventative care and spends time equipping you with knowledge to fend off issues before they arise. This means you’ll spend less time in our office and more time enjoying life; all while saving money and avoiding pain and discomfort!

I had a crown replaced July 2025. That tooth is ok but the one next to it has been sore and tender making chewing very difficult. The issue was not resolved after 3 follow up visits. I came to Dr. Baker on the recommendation of a friend. He and his staff were Great. He identified the issue, explained the treatment options very well and we agreed on an extraction. He was able to do it at that visit and I have been pain free first time in 7 months. Thank you Dr. Baker and staff! Everyone was great and very professional.

Great staff and first experience at this dentist office! It’s been awhile since I’ve visited any dr office that actually thoroughly listens to you during q&a evals. Nice change not getting pronged like cattle and shuffled out the door.

After some really awful dental experiences, I will admit I have dentist PTSD. After a botched root canal that had to be re-drilled out and fixed, terrible bedside manner from most dentists after that, and so many more traumatizing experiences, Im very happy to find this office. The front staff is friendly and funny! All of the staff were gentle and understanding of my fear. I never felt shame for my fear, and everything was thoroughly explained in a way that didn't scare me. 10/10 for me!! They also got me booked really quickly so I wasn't waiting months in pain!

I traveled over an hour away... I can say it was worth it! I had a great experience with Dr. Upton and his staff. I felt comfortable the entire time and the Dental Savings Plan is truly a life saver. I used to scour the web for coupons and discount apps for dental cleanings often still costing $250+ without x-rays! Fortunately this office offers a competitive program that works for my budget. I truly could not afford it any other way and it went years without a checkup or cleaning. Thank you!

From start to finish, my experience here was smooth and stress-free. Dr. Baker was absolutely amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, seen, and heard. I truly felt cared for at every step of my visit. I’m so happy to have finally found my home dentist office!
