◆ A Profile in Care
Thirty-five years of gentle, biomimetic dentistry in the heart of Sedona. Pankey Institute and LVI trained. Preserving the natural tooth — always.
What began in 1985 as a family dental practice in the red rock country of Sedona has become, four decades on, a trusted home for comprehensive care — guided by Dr. John H. Upton Jr., a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Upton trained at the Pankey Institute and the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. His biomimetic approach preserves healthy tooth structure rather than removing it — working with the natural biology of your teeth, not against it. It’s dentistry practiced with patience and precision.
From your child’s first cleaning to advanced restorative work, every procedure is performed by the same hands, in the same practice, with the same standard of care.
Crowns, bridges, and implants placed with biomimetic precision — preserving healthy tooth structure while rebuilding what’s been lost. Durable, natural-looking results.
Porcelain veneers, professional whitening, and full smile makeovers designed with an artist’s eye and a clinician’s hand.
Thorough exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, and fillings. The foundation of lifelong oral health, delivered gently.
TMJ/TMD therapy, periodontal treatment, and custom night guards for patients who need focused, expert attention.
A thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite — digital X-rays, intraoral photography, and a candid conversation about your goals and concerns.
No one-size-fits-all. We present your options in plain language, walk through timing and investment, and build a plan that respects your priorities.
Minimally invasive techniques that preserve healthy tooth structure. We work with the natural biology of your teeth — not against it.
Prevention is the best dentistry. Regular check-ins, hygiene visits, and proactive monitoring to keep your smile healthy for decades.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Upton for over twenty years. He found things other dentists missed, explained everything without rushing, and his work has lasted beautifully. You feel like you’re in the hands of someone who genuinely cares.
Whether it’s a routine cleaning, a question about implants, or a concern that’s been on your mind — we’re here. No pressure. Just honest answers from a dentist who has been doing this for over three decades.
