In the midst of the pandemic, our team has been following the latest infection prevention recommendations from the CDC and WHO. Below, you can find a list of additional precautions that weve implemented to ensure that our patients stay safe and feel comfortable in our dental office. If you have any questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out to us.
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.

From the staff to Dr. Upton, they make you feel cared about & like family. I felt relaxed and fully confident during the whole visit and am now getting my whole family over to them. My mom & stepdad have been clients for almost 20 years now and would never go to anyone else. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Upton is so kind and wants the very best for all his patients to the end! No dentures for me! Needing a couple implants, but so far, my path has been nothing short of positive. I must say, the staff, specifically Allysa (assistant of all things dental) and Whitney (hygienist) are VERY kind and accommodating. I seriously don't DREAD going to visit them. Very happy with my personal care thus far. Thank to all of you!

Have been a patient of Dr Upton since 2002. He is a brilliant cosmetic dentist and has taken great care of my smile along with his efficient staff. Two years ago I broke my jaw which resulted in damage to several of my teeth and offset my bite. I have seen other reputable dentists, orthodontists and maxillofacial specialists to get my teeth back in order. They all came up with varying solutions, which all seemed to be in their convenience both time wise and financially. Du Upton is a straight shooter. He tells you exactly what is going on with your teeth. Good, bad or ugly. He will not pressure you to have any work done on your mouth, but will give you the pros and cons of doing something now, later or not at all. He is not the least expensive dentist in the valley, but he knows his field of practice like a pro and is worth consulting with and worth the money should you choose to have him perform any dental work.

It seems he is out for the money. Doesn't want what the insurance company tells him what to do. He is also rude. Doesn't care if you can't afford a procedure and don't want it.

I had a dental issue that couldn't wait a week for me to get back to WI. My home dentist referred me to Dr. Upton. His office got me in right away and diagnosed the worrisome issue. Dr. Upton and his office were wonderful, kind and very skilled.Dr. Upton explained everything and gave me options. I will refer friends here in the West Valley to Dr. Upton without hesitation and return myself as needed.

The staff is absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere is bright, sunny and positive. I really enjoy going in for any type of work because they explain everything to you so you understand exactly what they are doing and why. Arrowhead Dentistry is the "Real Deal" in my book .. I wouldnt go anywhere else !!
