Upland Dental Practice

I’m not sure how this place has so many good reviews. If you care about your teeth don’t come here please. Ever since I’ve came here I’ve been in constant pain. I went to 3 different dentists after and they told me it was some of the sloppiest work they’ve ever seen. I got a root canal and a cavity filled with them. I was in so much pain after and the temporary crown they gave me was actually the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Even the other dentists laughed when they seen it. They still left bacteria in my root canal and cavity. My new dentist fixed me up and I feel so much better.

5 stars isn't enough for Upland Dental! Dr. Salami was amazing - he made me feel at ease during my tooth extraction and I didn't feel a thing! The whole experience was painless, despite being a total chicken when it comes to dental work. Huge shoutout to Diana, the office manager, for being super friendly and helpful. Plus, the cash discount was a nice bonus. Highly recommend!

PLEASE READ, THIS IS A WARNING! I needed to take care of my dental work. This place takes you in fast. And starts the work right away. I have Medi-Cal, so it takes 2-3 weeks to start treatment when approvals come. But they started right away. First time was scary, and uncomfortable, Darvish Salami started off with a dental bridge and 2 root canals. The first session i was not getting numb he was saying rude things. Once the numbing wore off, I felt the temporary crowns dig deeper into the gum. And had a a LOT of extra residue that was from extra crown cutting into my teeth. I had to go back several times for them to just adjust the bite. Then 3 days later. The crowns fall off. They place it back in. And when came back for the permanent crown before I cementing,I told them it did not feel right. The dental bridge felt too large and clunky. also, the crown both felt very uncomfortable and did not fit, so he started to drill my teeth More without letting me know to get it to fit and told me that I was insulting his practice over and over by keep questioning in him he had yelled at me.When I raised my hand, he put my hand down and continue to do so.I was horrified by this experience, and left worse than when I went in. I explained to Salami he adjusted the bite and said that I cannot be in pain the nerve was out. I was missing Work excruciating pain that I was feeling. Every time my bite was too high and he would not fix it because the bridge was already cemented, and the crown was already cemented. I lost confidence in him, I let him know that I will not continue to come and to give me my x-rays back so I can get a second opinion. Diana was rude to me and told me that I cannot get my x-rays or images without meeting with Salami first. I was traumatized, I could not bear to see him again and I told them no. I just want my x-rays. they told me they would refund dental bridge which cost three $3300,about the dental crown, they said that they cannot do anything about that, now I was stuck with a painful root canal, medi-cal will not pay again unless grievance. Which takes very long. I had to go to 4 different dentist and pay $250 twice to get another CT scan to show the bones of the tooth. I've lost countless hours in days of work to the point where I couldn't pay my bills. Made dental board complaint. Dentist. when I reached out for the refund on the dental bridge, they said that they will not honor that because I filed a complaint.. . Instead, they denied that there was any problem. however, I went to three different dentist and I will attach their findings to the images so you could see that the tooth had an open gap and he could not place it right or did not do whatever diligence he needed to do to make sure that before he performed that procedure, he knew what he was doing instead, they just seems to want to collect money from me . Anyhow, fast forward this happened in November 2023 and now it is April 2024, the different dentist that I went to were afraid to work on that tooth again so keep that in mind if you go to salami, you might have to go get retreated, and the other Dentist will feel hesitant to work on you since retreats are considered pretty risky. Also keep in mind you will most likely have to pay out-of-pocket to do it again. According to the last Dentist , I saw they said that the tooth that had the bad crown has swelling all the way down to the joint of the ligament and it could fracture that tooth. And I could lose it. this is just from a routine root canal. Nothing fancy it wasn't even a bad tooth. Additionally, the dentist three other ones to be specific you can message me if you want details told me that the upper bridge needs to be cut off so basically $3200 and a lot of my time just went down the drain for nothing. But more than the money the excruciating pain that I had to go through there's no value on that four months is a really long time to be in that type of pain. They are money grabs unethical and lie straight faced. If you want to get yelled at and scream and gaslight, come here

Dr. Salami at Upland Dental provided exceptional care during my recent root canal. He explained each step thoroughly during the examination, making me feel comfortable and informed. Diana scheduled my appointment promptly, and the procedure was quick and virtually painless. The follow-up call the next day showed their commitment to patient well-being. Unlike other places, they didn't rush through appointments, dedicating their full attention until the treatment was complete. Highly recommend Dr. Salami and the team at Upland Dental for their professionalism and care.

Dr. Salami is very gentle, been going here for 8 years. Staff is also very friendly, especially Diana. They treat us like family 100% would recommend.

As as child with many cavities I was terrified of going to the Dentist for many years until I found upland Dental Practice. I have been coming here for years and Dr Salami is great! They have the same consistent Staff members all with awesome people skills. You are always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome even on an emergency visit. Diana, is my favorite person there! She is kind, always friendly and explains everything so throughly. I’ve had multiple procedures done here and I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend Upland Dental practice! Now I bring my whole family!

Such a great experience at this dentist! They really know what they’re doing and do the best thing for you, and also they don’t try to charge you extra money out of dishonesty, like some other dentists. We recommend this place 100%.
