We care about your whole health

Your teeth and mouth are a single part of the complex system that makes up your physical, mental and emotional health-- and your health is our number one priority! It’s a well-known fact that good oral health is strongly correlated with good overall health. Something going on with one can have lasting effects on the others. These additional services are offered with your total health in mind.

    Let us know if you have questions or concerns about the following:
  • Anxiety visiting the dentist.

Our Additional Services services

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Our skilled doctors and dental professionals are equipped with the expertise to carry out a full mouth reconstruction, restoring your teeth and transforming your smile.

Oral Cancer Screening

Detecting cancer early in the mouth, lips, tongue, or throat is crucial. Learn to recognize the signs and understand your risks.

Sports guards don’t just protect your teeth. They also protect braces and fixed dental appliances (like bridges and dental implants) and protect the inside of your cheeks and lips from your braces in the event of an accident.

TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint and TMD stands for Temporomandibular Disorder. TMJ and TMD are both often used to describe the conditions affecting the muscles, nerves and joints of the jaw.

Tooth pain caused by hot, cold, sweet and acidic foods is treatable in the office and at home.

How can dentistry benefit your whole health?

Aside from the well-documented correlations between good oral health and strong bodies, We have a lot to thank our healthy smiles for. Healthy mouths enable us to get a good night's sleep and eat a nutritious diet. In good health, we can speak clearly or even express ourselves completely without uttering a single peep. Smiling brightly is a universal sign of peace and friendship that connects us all. When our oral health suffers, we miss it. Unaddressed oral health problems don’t just hurt, they make us feel isolated and weigh heavily on us emotionally.

Physical Health

This is the first one everyone thinks of. Having a toothache is a notoriously painful experience and may be a precursor to a dangerous infection. Physical health also includes the rest of you. Do you get frequent headaches or jaw pain? Is your bite comfortable? Many of the services we recommend are intended to be proactive and maintain your physical health to avoid future pain, discomfort and expense.

Emotional Health

How do you feel about your smile? Is there anything thing about it that weighs on your mind? Do you ever feel self-conscious about your smile? Your emotional well being is also important and we’re here to help. Share your thoughts with us and find out what your options are.

Mental Health

For some people, the prospect of visiting the dentist causes anxiety that’s so fierce it even rivals a toothache! If you suffer from dental anxiety or you’re stressing out about an impending visit or oral health problem let us know! There may be things we can do to help. Let’s get you past this.

Creating a personalized treatment plan

There’s one thing all of our services have in common and that's creating a treatment plan for you that captures all of your needs and goals, lays out all of your options and keeps you educated and informed during your treatment. It’s our intention to empower you with any information you need to make the best final decision and feel confident about your outcome. Your experience will always include the following elements:

Share with us

Tell us about your concerns or ask us about anything you’re curious about. We’re here to listen and to answer any questions you have about your oral health and the treatment options available. It’s important for us to know what your goals are and what your vision is for your ideal smile.

Hear all your options

After sharing all of your thoughts and concerns and with a completed initial examination your dentist will be able to list out the different options available for achieving your goal along with the pros and cons of each and our final recommendations. Everything will be explained clearly so that you can make the best choice for your needs.

The final say is yours

We will never start a procedure or treatment without your complete understanding and explicit consent. You have the final say in any treatment and we will work with you to accommodate your schedule so that it suits your busy lifestyle and your budget. We have your best interests at heart and are here to serve you.

I’ve never felt secure with a dentist until I found Dr Baker. He is so caring and always takes his time to explain everything. He truly cares about his patients. Having a dentist you can trust is priceless. The office is clean and homey. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I no longer dread going to the dentist.

Best Dentist in the area. Great hygienists and the dentists always take the time to discuss any areas of improvement or concern. Other places I feel like they are rushing you in and out as quickly as possible. I have recommended at least 4 people to go there and they all love it. If Baker or Upton are unsure of the best course of treatment, they will call other specialists to get their opinion. My wife went to 3 other dentists before Baker, and he was able to figure out the issue after a week. I can not recommend them enough.

Highly recommend. As someone who finds dental work very aversive, Dr. Baker and Kelly were awesome. The whole team was so welcoming and the work itself was a breeze compared to previous experiences elsewhere.

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.
