Our Family Dentistry Services

• Preventive Care
  Regular checkups and cleanings are the cornerstone of our family practice. We conduct comprehensive oral exams and apply low-radiation digital X-rays to detect problems early on. Fluoride treatment and dental sealants are also offered to prevent cavities in children and adults.
• Pediatric Dentistry
  Our pediatric dentistry is designed to make children feel comfortable. We promise an enjoyable experience for young patients, employing gentle, patient-friendly methods and behavioral management to ease fear. Where treatment is essential, we describe each procedure to children and parents, use topical anesthetics when required, and, if necessary, schedule pediatric experts to provide secure care.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Whether teeth are broken by decay or trauma, we have restorative options. These include tooth-colored (mercury-free) fillings, crowns, and root canal therapy to restore and save your teeth. We restore a tooth with a dental implant or a removable partial/complete denture when a tooth is missing. These services regain function and beauty, giving your family healthy, strong smiles.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  We can brighten the smiles of older loved ones with cosmetic treatments. We provide professional in-office whitening, porcelain veneers, and tooth-colored bonding to enhance tooth color, shape, and alignment. Our cosmetic treatments are provided in a manner that promotes overall dental health, so your family can have confident smiles without surgery.
• Emergency Dental Services
  Upland Dental Clinic offers immediate emergency care for acute issues. Dr. Patel and staff make time for patients in pain or experiencing trauma (like a loose tooth). We can usually have emergency patients seen the same day or the following day to end pain and treat the problem as soon as possible.

Technology & Patient Comfort

Upland Dental Clinic employs advanced technology to increase treatment accuracy, efficacy, and comfort. We use digital X-ray imaging for all our examinations, which lowers patients' exposure to radiation by approximately 90% compared to traditional film X-rays. Digital sensors offer instant images, enabling us to detect problems sooner and more accurately. In addition to X-rays, we use intraoral cameras and computer imaging to visually communicate our findings and plan your treatment meticulously. We also utilize advanced laser technology for restorative and cosmetic procedures.

Lasers are part of our teeth-whitening system for precise gum treatments. Compared to traditional techniques, lasers reduce discomfort and speed healing. We maintain strict sterilization procedures and use new dental materials, such as mercury-free fillings and porcelain restorations, to make you feel secure and comfortable with your treatment.
