Higher Ground Dentistry is a trusted family dental practice serving Upland, California and surrounding communities. We provide comprehensive oral healthcare for patients of all ages, from your child's first tooth to senior dental care needs. Our experienced dental team is committed to helping Upland families maintain healthy, beautiful smiles through preventive, restorative, and specialized dental services.
Preventive Dental Care
Routine Dental Exams The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends dental checkups every six months. During your family's routine appointments at our Upland dental office, our doctors provide thorough examinations of teeth, gums, and oral tissues, plus professional cleanings. For older patients, we also recommend oral cancer screenings to detect potential issues early.
Professional Dental Cleanings Regular professional cleanings are essential for maintaining excellent oral health. Beyond daily brushing and flossing, visiting our Upland family dentist twice yearly ensures your teeth stay strong, functional, and attractive while keeping your gums healthy.
Fluoride Treatments Our fluoride treatments help prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. This naturally-occurring mineral treatment is especially beneficial for children, teens, and seniors who are at higher risk for cavities. Professional fluoride applications can even reverse early stages of tooth decay.
Pediatric Dentistry in Upland
Children's Dental Care We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Regular pediatric dental appointments allow us to monitor your child's oral development and catch any issues early when they're easier to treat. Our gentle approach helps establish a positive foundation for lifelong dental health.
Specialized Dental Treatments
Periodontal (Gum) Care Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Our periodontal treatments address gum infections before they progress to advanced stages. If you notice red, swollen, or bleeding gums, we offer scaling and root planning procedures to restore your gums to optimal health.
Oral Cancer Screenings Early detection saves lives. Our comprehensive oral cancer screenings help identify potential problems when they're most treatable. We provide thorough examinations and explain the process to ensure you feel comfortable and informed.
Sleep Apnea Treatment If you suffer from sleep apnea, our custom oral appliances can help you achieve safer, more restful sleep. We treat obstructive sleep apnea with comfortable devices that keep your airway open throughout the night.
TMJ/TMD Treatment Jaw pain and temporomandibular joint disorders can significantly impact your daily life. Our TMJ treatments alleviate pain and restore proper jaw function, helping you eat, speak, and sleep comfortably.
Protective Dental Appliances
Custom Mouthguards Protect your teeth from grinding damage with our custom night guards. If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), a professionally fitted mouthguard prevents enamel wear and reduces jaw strain.
Sports Guards Active families need protection during sports activities. Our custom sports mouthguards provide superior protection against dental injuries during contact sports and high-impact activities.
