Dentistry is an art as well as a science; dental crowns offer a perfect example of this. A dental crown or "cap" is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed or unattractive tooth. It can even replace a tooth entirely as part of dental bridgework. Full or partial tooth loss, if left untreated, doesn't just affect a person's self-image.
It can also increase the risk of developing nutritional problems and other health disorders. Fortunately, there's a reliable and time-tested method for treating this condition: full or partial dentures. Root canal treatment - also called endodontics ("endo" - inside, "dont" - tooth) - is a set of specialized procedures designed to treat problems of the soft pulp (nerve) tissue inside the tooth.

Of all the ways modern dentistry has to replace missing teeth, dental implants are by far the best. There is no tooth-replacement option that will give you a longer-lasting result. Implants also help preserve tooth-supporting bone that naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost. Loss of bone is one of the major hidden consequences of losing teeth.

I was a new patient last week. It was a near perfect experience as far as dental visits go. I went in thinking I was going to have to have all my teeth pulled and get dentures. Dr. Dollinger really encouraged me, telling me all my teeth but 1 could be fixed. No dentures for me! I am so excited and already feel better about myself. I really like the ladies at the front desk too. They were so kind to me!

Horrible, horrible, horrible experience. Dr Dollenger was 2 hours late, terrible attitude, condescending, incompetent with Novocaine dosage (eye and cheek were swollen until midnight although it was injected an hour before procedure)
*this was for a fragile chemo patient who deserved decent care and respect, which he neglected*
Will never ever return

Dr. Dollinger and his staff are GREAT! Very thorough, professional, and honest. You’ll love getting your teeth cleaned by my favorite hygienists, Amber and Anders. Diane will take good care of you at check-in and check-out. I’ve been going to upwards dental for over ten years and have NEVER been urged to get a procedure that was not needed.

As always, I had a very pleasant visit with my dentist Dr. Buchanan today at Upwards Dental. Diane always greets me with a smile upon arrival. My new hygienist Brooke did a fantastic job cleaning my teeth and Dr. Buchanan is always on top of my dental needs. I’m so thankful for such great people taking care of my teeth and gums. You guys are the BEST!!!!

I've gotten so much dental work done the last three years that I consider Dr. Dollinger a friend at this point. I'm 43 years old and have had some challenging work done. I had a mouth full of old fillings that needed replacing, then braces, and now finally a couple crowns. Every step of the way I've felt like I wasn't just in good hands, I was in THE BEST hands. Dentistry is an art and a science, and I felt fully informed and comfortable through every step of the process. I recommend Upwards Dental every chance I get.

Seriously the best dentist and staff. It is so nice to go somewhere and be able to trust them and know your mouth is being taken care of. Always thorough, but also conservative. Dr. Dollinger is not going to tell you that you need something done unless you really do! My children even love going and ask when they get to go back. My 6 year old had several fillings done and was so comfortable there. Doesn't get any better than that!

This office has to be one of the best dental offices that could exist in the country. I first came to Upwards Dental upon the recommendation of a friend, and they found bacteria under my gum-line that had been missed by my previous dentist for a couple years, in spite of the fact that I had been complaining of an odor that I couldn't get rid of for years from that spot. It was evident beyond that, that they were very thorough and almost all staff members were very pleasant to speak with. Then, just recently, I had occasion to return to them after a hiatus for financial reasons to have a cleaning
