Read More"This is one of the nicest dental offices I have been to in all of western North Carolina. The entire staff had a smile and took the time to greet me. You can tell these folks really love what they do. On top of that, they get in there and get the work done quickly and professionally. The hygienist was quick and efficient. She knows her craft very well and was pleasant to work with. The Dr came in and checked my teeth but took the time to tell me the why behind his assessment. 10/10 across the board. Finally, when I was leaving, the front staff took the time to thank me for coming in. Highly recommended."

Read More "Over a year ago, Dr. Dollinger discovered Ihad an oral cancer and likely saved my life. Heworked closely with a Mission Hospital cancersurgeon to determine how best to treat it. I hadsurgery in December 2023 which involved removing 4teeth and part of my lower jawbone. After thatsurgery, Dr Dollinger continued to work with thesurgeon during the healing process, to determine thenext phase. They decided the jawbone neededstrengthening, before any teeth implants could bedone and, in January 2025, a follow-up surgery wasdone to do that. Throughout this entire process, Dr.Dollinger has remained committed to providing thebest possible care for me. Upwards Dental is by farthe best dental office I’ve ever had. Their officeis state-of-the-art and the staff members arewonderful."

Read More "I could not be more pleased with myexperience at Upwards Dental. I recently moved tothe area and had to go through the "not so fun"transition to a new dental practice. At firstarrival it felt like family. The team was verywelcoming, and we immediately hit it off. Thecomprehensive check I went through was by far themost thorough check I have ever experienced. Alongwith this, a very thorough insurance coverageanalysis was provided to me. Before leaving on myfirst day, an appointment was cancelled, and theyoffered to fit me in to that time slot to begintaking steps toward executing my dental needs.Within 2 days we were able to knock out highpriority issues. During that time, I believe I took6 numbing needles and did not feel a single one.Following these procedures, I received personaltexts checking in on me. AMAZING! I have never beenat a point in life where I am actually lookingforward to going to the dentist and seeing "thefamily". I would like to thank Jenny, Tenille,Blanca, Martine, Mikisha, Erica, and of course Docfor their attention to detail, their kindness, andmaking me feel so comfortable in an environment thatcan bring stress and anxiety. Feeling very fortunateto have found this group, looking forward tocontinuing our tooth journey, and would highlyrecommend this practice to anyone looking for thebest experience. Thank you, Upwards Dental!"

We calledit “Dentist in the Dark!”, laughed, and had a funtime...I posted a photo! The entire staff made mefeel special, and I even left with a card signed byall, along with a Starbucks gift card to celebratemy birthday. Who does that?! Upwards Dental.

Read More "I LOVE Upwards Dental. Of course I’m goingto brag on my own daughter, Erica. She could hurt mewhile she’s cleaning my teeth as payback for thepunishments she received as a child (LOL) butinstead, she takes extra steps to be sure I’mcomfortable and pain free while she cleans my teeth.Nothing makes a mother happier than seeing her girlexcelling in her career and doing what she loves. Asfar as Dr. Dollinger goes, he is up to date on newtechnology and procedures. He has spent many hourswith his staff planning for a complex case beforeeven beginning the first step of treatment. He trulydoes give an individualized treatment plan for eachpatient taking their needs and concerns intoconsideration. As for the rest of the staff- theyare so kind, thoughtful, and efficient. I had anappointment scheduled on Valentine’s Day, and whenconfirming the appointment via text message, Ireplied “only if I get flowers” (LOL again) and tomy surprise and delight, Carolyn and Tabitha hadflowers AND candy waiting for me at the front deskwhen I walked in the door that day. You can telleveryone in this office cares about you as a person,not just your teeth. Of course I wanted to supportmy daughter’s career, but I’m so blessed she isemployed by such wonderful and caring people."

Read More "We are from out of state and came throughon business. My husband needed an extraction doneasap. McChristians office was the only dentistoffice open on Friday. They were happy to see a newpatient. When we arrived, we were greeted by a avery friendly receptionist, we spent less than 5minutes in the waiting room before we were calledback. The dental assistant had a sunny personalityand was very efficient. Doc had a wonderful bedsidemanner. He explained everything about the procedurein great detail and answered all of our questions.He took extra care to ensure that the area was numbbefore starting the extraction and asked frequentlyif the patient was "okay". Both my husband and Ihave had bad experiences with dentists in the past.McChristian seemed too good to be true. We couldntbe happier with our experience with him. Amazinglyenough, it gets better. Dr.McChristian called myhusband's cell phone personally and checked onhim.....after hours. This kind of attention isunheard of in Kansas, where we are from. I know it'dbe a long trip but I would definitely consider thedrive from KS to NC again for any dental needs."
