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.

I’ve had some bad dentistry experiences over the years, but Dr. Baker completely turned things around. He made me feel comfortable, truly listened to my concerns, and introduced a treatment plan that no other doctor had suggested—and it’s absolutely the right approach! His staff is equally amazing—attentive, kind, and professional. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend Dr. Baker and his team!

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.
