About Uyesugi Dental
Ceiling-mounted TVs, massage chairs, and iTero scanning technology turn routine cleanings at Uyesugi Dental into something closer to a spa visit.
Uyesugi Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, and retainers. Reviews often mention the office itself: a modern, spotless space with massage chairs and TVs during cleanings, iTero scanning, and advanced x-ray technology that gives it a spa-like feel. Dr. Uyesugi is frequently credited with sitting down to review findings, building treatment plans without pushing unnecessary work, and personally responding to dental emergencies, including after hours. Cleanings and procedures like fillings and crowns are often described as comfortable, though a few reviewers found cost quotes surprisingly high.

They really take care of you—from the exceptionally clean environment and TVs in the dental rooms to the relaxing massage chair. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and the dentists are thorough, knowledgeable, and attentive. I always feel well cared for and confident that I’m in good hands.. I would highly recommend Uyesugi Dental.

Very efficient and organized dental care. I feel like there is a high attention to detail. For example, during routine cleanings they take photos of the teeth in addition to X-rays to reference later. I’ve never seen a hygienist do that. They are always on time and I’m rarely waiting for a cleaning to start.

The staff was wonderful! I had avoided going to the dentist for a long time because of a past traumatic experience, but they made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for from the moment I walked in. Everyone was kind, compassionate, and professional. I highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you're nervous about visiting the dentist.
