From checkups and cleanings to start-to-finish dental implant treatment and full-mouth restorations, we offer comprehensive dentistry for patients of all ages. Dr. Upton is dedicated to keeping up with the latest techniques and technology in his field by continuing his education, allowing him to take care of virtually all of his patients needs from the comfort of the dental office that they trust.
The dental field is evolving every day, and Dr. Upton does everything he can to not only stay on top of these advancements and new findings, but also inform his patients about them. He takes a wholistic approach to care by identifying risk factors and lifestyle habits that can cause oral harm, addressing them to prevent issues from occurring, and educating his patients to not just keep their smiles beautiful, but to also ensure their overall wellbeing. With this comprehensive approach to care, he hopes to keep his patients healthy for a lifetime.
While Dr. Upton once considered architecture as a potential career, he eventually realized that he wanted to use his talents and hands to help people in more direct, tangible ways. He put his passion for aesthetics and overall function to use on a much smaller scale, improving the structures inside the mouth instead of in buildings! Decades later, he stills look forward to creating exceptional smiles for his patients.
After studying at Northern Arizona University, Dr. Upton pursued his dental doctorate at Baylor College of Dentistry. Shortly after graduation, he realized there was much more he needed to learn about both the art and science of dentistry, which led him to seek out post-graduate programs that aligned with what he wanted his dental office to look like. Eventually, he found the L.D. Pankey Institute, where the focus was on relationship-based dentistry and helping patients keep their natural teeth for a lifetime it was the perfect match! He has also attended continuing education programs with F.A.C.E and the Las Vegas Institute. All in all, he has hundreds of hours of advanced training in restorative/cosmetic dentistry, biomimetic dentistry, orthodontics, and every other aspect of general dentistry.
Today, Dr. Upton holds his Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, which reflects his exceptional commitment to learning. He is also a member of the Arizona Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry.
Dr. Upton and his wife have four children who are all grown with families of their own, as well as 11 grandkids! When he isnt busy at work, he really enjoys riding his bicycle, reading, and spending quality time with the entire family, especially at the cabin they have refurbished and restored over the past several years. Hes also passionate about restoring and maintaining his classic 1995 Jaguar.
