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.
  • Extra physical considerations like a sensitive gag reflex or restless leg syndrome (RLS).
  • Any general problems anywhere near your mouth from toothaches to headaches.

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

Protect more than just your smile—sports guards shield your teeth, braces, and dental appliances like implants and bridges, while cushioning your cheeks and lips to prevent injury during unexpected impacts.

TMJ Therapy

TMJ therapy can relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore proper jaw function for those suffering from TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) or TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder), which affect the jaw’s muscles, nerves, and joints.

Tooth Sensitivity Treatment

Effective treatment for tooth sensitivity can protect enamel, reduce pain, and prevent further damage, allowing you to enjoy hot, cold, sweet, and acidic foods comfortably.

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.

Both my son and I see Dr Baker. Dr Baker is friendly and takes his time explaining everything. You don’t feel like just another patient. The staff is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and they instantly make you feel comfortable. My 5 year old son loves going to the dentist! I definitely recommend Upton and Baker to anyone looking for a great dentist!

I recently moved to Wake Forest and needed to find a dentist. I visited Upton & Baker DDS today for my routine dental cleaning and to address a concern I had with my teeth. They were very professional from the moment they called me to schedule an appointment till the moment I left their office this afternoon. Victoria did an amazing and thorough cleaning. She worked very gently and made me feel at ease. Dr. Baker was also very pleasant. He took his time with speaking to me and explained everything very clearly. All and all, I felt really comfortable and I am happy that I have found my new dentist.

I've been searching for a dentist with a similar small-town feel since mine retired a couple of years ago. I've been to four other practices in the triangle and all of them have felt, for lack of a better word "corporate". I had my first cleaning with Dr. Baker this morning and it felt like I was right back in my old dentists office again. He was compassionate, personable, and made you feel like a person and not a patient. He took the time to thoroughly review my X-rays and went out of his way to make sure I was happy with my experience. I think I've finally found my new dentist!

Very kind and courteous staff. Dr. Baker was so incredibly nice and gentle as I tend to be very nervous at the dentist’s office. He took lots of care to make sure I was comfortable and calm, and he explained everything clearly and thoroughly. He and the whole staff are very knowledgeable and experienced. I trust them with dental care for my whole family. Highly recommend this practice.

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.
