I was raised in Wadena, Minnesota, and from a very young age I was drawn to peoples smiles. I have always wanted to help people feel better about smiling. To pursue my dream, I earned an undergraduate degree from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and went on to dental school at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. After dental school, I served as a captain in the U.S. Air Force using my skills as a dentist for three years.
In 1993, I opened my general dental practice in Boulder, Colorado. Then, in 1997, after years of running a successful practice, I found my love for cosmetic dentistry. Today, we focus almost exclusively on cosmetic dentistry and provide guests in our practice with incredible smiles on a daily basis.
In 1997, I met and studied with Dr. William Dickerson who founded The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI)*. Dr. Dickerson owns and operates a postgraduate teaching facility available to dentists. As a mentor and a friend, Bill helped me realize my talent as a cosmetic dentist. He furthered my own inspiration to provide great service and only materials I would place in my own mouth to my guests.
I enrolled in LVI in 1997 as a student to improve my skill as a cosmetic dentist. In 1998, I was asked to become one of the first instructors at LVI. Being an instructor has kept me up-to-date in the ever-improving world of dentistry and related technology. I teach several courses including Full Mouth Restoration. Teaching dentists from around the world in the art and science of cosmetic dentistry is one of the most satisfying things I do in my life. It brings me as much satisfaction as providing incredible smiles to the guests in my practice.
Some of you know I have been silently looking for the right person. Ive been very patient because my standards are high. I wanted this person to come from Minnesota and graduate from my Alma Mater. She had to be humble, kind, focused, detail-oriented, and have a passion for learning new paradigms in dentistry. This new addition had to be acknowledged by each of my team members, and above all, I had to be confident she would provide the high level of care that our clientele have come to appreciate at Incredible Smiles.With a vast bucket list like this, all anyone can do is hold it out to the universe and see what happens.
About six months ago, a beautiful lady came over to introduce herself as the new neighboring dentist. When I asked her where she was from, I curtailed my excitement. Was my dream coming true?! She grew up in Minnesota, went to the U of M, and my team instantly fell in love with her. After she left, Paige even said, You are going to hire her, arent you?
Dr. Priya Uppal attended undergraduate, graduate school, and residency at the University of Minnesota. She was a Minnesota Gopher for nine years! Priyas residency focused on comprehensive care, including placement of implants and treating special needs patients. She is an active member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and the Colorado Dental Association. Priya is skilled in crowns, veneers, implant placement, Invisalign, treating TMD and orofacial pain, and she is bringing the added talent of botox and fillers to Incredible Smiles.
Priya grew up in Brooklyn Park, a northwest suburb of Minneapolis. She enjoys hiking with her dog Louie, practicing yoga, cooking, and sampling various ethnic cuisines. Priya is no stranger to Boulder! She has lived in South Boulder for six years, a homeowner with her fianc Brett. She met Brett, a native Boulder man, in dental school.

Additionally, x-ray exposure is dramatically reduced, making it a safer choice for our guests.
Oral health and the appearance of your gum tissue help define your smile. We have sought out solid technology and well trained hygienists to support and maintain healthy gum tissue. Our hygienists are well trained. They offer antibiotic placement and lasers therapy to improve the health of gum-tissue.
Reshaping excessive or irregular gum tissue is an important aspect of achieving exceptional results. Lasers enhance tissue health, creating ideal tissue symmetry while performing cosmetic enhancements. This means your gum tissue will nicely compliment your incredible smile.
Florida Probe This software allows us to monitor your health from visit to visit. At each cleaning visit our hygienist measures the health of tissue at six locations around each tooth.
