Family Dentist Upland CA - Complete Dental Care for Every Member of Your Family
Finding a family dentist in Upland CA who truly cares about every member of your family isn't easy.
I'm Dr. Sikka at Higher Ground Dentistry, and I've been providing comprehensive dental care for families throughout Upland, Ontario, and Rancho Cucamonga for years.
Here's what makes family dentistry different from other dental practices: we don't just treat teeth.
We build relationships with entire families, understanding that each person has unique needs, concerns, and comfort levels.
Preventive Dental Care for the Whole Family
Prevention is the foundation of good oral health, and it's much more affordable than treating problems after they develop.
Routine Dental Exams and Cleanings
The American Dental Association recommends dental checkups every six months, and there's good science behind this recommendation. During your family's routine appointments at our Upland dental office, we provide:
- Comprehensive oral examinations for teeth, gums, and oral tissues
- Professional dental cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup
- Digital X-rays to detect problems not visible to the naked eye
- Oral cancer screenings for adult family members
- Preventive treatment planning to avoid future dental problems
- Our gentle approach helps even the most anxious family members feel comfortable during their visits.
Professional Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are one of the most effective ways to prevent tooth decay, especially for children and teenagers.
- Strengthen tooth enamel to resist acid attacks from bacteria
- Reverse early stages of tooth decay before cavities form
- Provide long-lasting protection between dental visits
- Safe and comfortable for patients of all ages
We use only biocompatible fluoride formulations that support your family's overall health.
Custom Sports Mouthguards
If your children participate in sports, protecting their teeth should be a priority. Our custom sports mouthguards:
- Provide superior protection compared to store-bought options
- Fit comfortably so kids actually wear them
- Allow normal breathing and communication during play
- Can be customized with team colors and designs
We've prevented countless dental injuries with properly fitted sports guards.
Advanced Family Dental Treatments
Periodontal (Gum Disease) Treatment
Gum disease affects nearly 50% of adults over 30, making it one of the most common health problems we treat. Early signs include:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gums pulling away from teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
Our periodontal treatments include:
- Deep cleaning procedures (scaling and root planing)
- Laser therapy for infection control
- Maintenance programs to prevent recurrence
- Referral to specialists when needed
Sleep Apnea Treatment for Better Family Health
Sleep apnea doesn't just affect the person who has it — it impacts the whole family's sleep quality. Our treatment includes:
- Custom oral appliances that are comfortable and effective
- Coordination with sleep physicians for comprehensive care
- Follow-up monitoring to ensure treatment success
- Family education about sleep health
TMJ/TMD Treatment
Jaw pain, headaches, and clicking sounds can significantly impact daily life. Our TMJ treatment approaches include:
- Custom night guards to protect against teeth grinding
- Bite adjustment therapy to restore proper alignment
- Stress management techniques since stress often contributes to TMJ
- Referral coordination with physical therapists when needed
