    Dr. Nick Baker

    Doctor

    Dedicated to Excellence in Dental Care!

    Dr. Baker is a proud North Raleigh native who pursued his passion for healthcare by earning a degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He continued his education at the UNC School of Dentistry, where he completed his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS). After practicing in Chapel Hill for several years, Dr. Baker returned to the Wake Forest area in 2019 to join Dr. Upton’s practice.

    Outside of dentistry, Dr. Baker enjoys life with his wife, Anne, a skilled pediatric dentist practicing nearby and their two wonderful children, Lily and Gray. In his free time, he loves traveling, snowboarding, reading, and cheering on the Tar Heels during sports season.

    A member of both the American Dental Association and the North Carolina Dental Society, Dr. Baker is deeply committed to providing exceptional care for his patients. His dedication to service extends beyond the office; he has volunteered at free clinics across North Carolina and participated in international dental mission trips to Honduras, Peru, and Nepal.

    Dr. Baker combines his technical expertise with a genuine passion for patient care, ensuring every individual he treats receives the highest standard of dental health and compassion.

    So pleased with Dr. Upton and his staff. I needed emergency dental work and they got me in quickly. They came highly recommended and I was glad I went there. Very careful, knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. I felt comfortable and got outstanding dental work. Thank you.

    Had a very enjoyable experience at Upton & Baker DDS. From the receptionists, to the hygienists, to the doctors everyone here goes out of their body at to make the experience as pain-free as possible. They took the time to explain everything that they were doing as well as what steps I could take at home to make maintaining my teeth easier and stress-free. Very upfront with all costs and even encouraged a second opinion if I felt one was needed on the work to be done on my cavities. Would refer anyone here and am glad to have found them.

    So happy we found Dr Baker and the staff at Upton & Baker. We spent a lot of time researching dentist in the area in our search for a new dental practice and I can tell you this practice checked all the boxes. If you’re looking for that private dental practice and are tired of the corporate dental world you will love Dr Baker and his staff and the attention, communication and professionalism you will receive.
