Florham Park dentist Dr. Raj Upadya strives to provide the best possible dental care and treatment to his patients in a compassionate and caring manner. He offers the wide range of dental services necessary to address everything from preventive care to complex problems. As a Dawson trained dentist, Dr. Upadya believes in the concept of complete dentistry, also known as WIDIOM, which means “Would I Do It On Me”. He will take the time during your visit to ensure that all parts of the occlusal system are working together harmoniously and recommend only the dentistry necessary to restore or maintain good dental health. This is part of an effort to address underlying dental problems affecting the balance in the bite, contributing to a current dental concern or laying the foundation for future problems that may also affect the results of any dentistry.
Dawson dentists are trained to analyze the 10 structural and functional factors of the chewing system, enabling them to identify dental problems that are either asymptomatic or may cause problems down the road. Diagnosing these issues early and treating them with conservative dentistry saves patients time, money and possible side effects of a dental concern.
At the Dawson Academy in Florida, dentists teach dentists to be better dentists. This means that patients benefit from the comprehensive knowledge of multiple facets of dentistry and patient care that a Dawson trained dentist has acquired during training and applied to his/her dentistry. Dr. Upadya practices this method of complete dentistry every day in his Florham Park dentist office, maintaining his patients’ oral health for the long term and helping them achieve the smiles they desire.
Founded by world renowned dentist Dr. Peter Dawson, the Dawson Academy gives dentists worldwide the resources and education they need to provide more consistent, predictable and lasting results for patients in their care. Dr. Upadya recently participate in a global lecture series as a Dawson Academy faculty member, teaching colleagues in Asia the concepts of complete dentistry.
