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 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.
