Convenient Access from Upland Hills
You never have to leave town to see us. DNTL Studio sits in downtown Upland, a 6-minute drive from the golf-course streets of Upland Hills, and our two dentists provide cosmetic, preventive, gum and implant care under one roof. Neighbors looking for a dentist near Upland Hills can book Monday through Thursday, starting at 8 AM.
From the community entrance at Upland Hills Drive and 16th Street, head west on 16th Street for about 0.8 miles to Euclid Avenue. Turn left and drive south beside the broad median for roughly 1.9 miles, past the Madonna of the Trail statue at Foothill Boulevard. Because our building faces the northbound lanes, make a U-turn at E A St and pull in on the right.
The drive is 2.8 miles in all, and you will arrive at 168 N Euclid Ave, Upland, CA 91786, between E A St and 9th St, a few blocks south of City Hall and the public library. Save our location in Google Maps for the next visit. Patients from Alta Loma and San Antonio Heights make a similar trip down Euclid.
A Neighborhood Practice for the Upland Hills Golf Community
Upland Hills grew up around the Upland Hills Country Club, a semi-private 18-hole, par-70 course designed by David Rainville that opened in 1983 on East 16th Street. Homes and condominiums wrap around the fairways, and the streets south of 16th are private. The neighborhood lies in the northern part of the city, in San Bernardino County. To the east, Red Hill marks the line with Rancho Cucamonga, and the ground climbs gently toward the San Gabriel Mountains.
The trip to our door follows historic Euclid Avenue. Euclid's center median carries Upland's 3-mile Bridle Path, where riders, walkers and joggers share the path between Foothill Boulevard and 24th Street. A dental visit becomes a short, pleasant drive rather than a freeway battle.
Halfway down, the Madonna of the Trail statue stands at Foothill Boulevard and Euclid. The Daughters of the American Revolution placed it in 1929, and it is the westernmost of 12 statues marking the National Old Trails Road. A little farther south, the avenue enters the historic downtown that grew up before the city incorporated in 1906, when it was still known as North Ontario.
DNTL Studio is privately owned, and it feels that way. Visits follow a Comfort-First Approach, the room is calm, and the team takes the time to know you. For Upland Hills residents who prefer a personal relationship with their dentists, that continuity matters as much as convenience.
What Upland Hills Residents Should Know About Their Dental Care
Being this close changes how you can use a dental office. Because the drive is only a few minutes, a cleaning, a follow-up or a crown fitting fits around a morning tee time, a meeting or a school pickup. You are less likely to postpone a visit when it barely dents the day.
That matters because many adult dental problems build quietly. Gum disease often causes no pain until bone is lost, clenching wears teeth down over years, and a dark filling can hide decay underneath. Regular exams and cleanings give the dentists a chance to catch these changes while the fix is still small.
Daytime schedules vary from one household to the next. Appointments run from 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Thursday, so most people can find a slot that suits their week. The office is closed on Fridays.
Technology helps the visits stay efficient. CBCT imaging gives a three-dimensional view of the jaw when planning implants, and digital x-rays show results on screen within moments.
Care From a Dentist Near Upland Hills
Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers, smile makeovers and professional teeth whitening brighten a smile that has dulled with coffee, tea or time. The dentists plan changes that look natural for your face.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Bleeding or receding gums are worth attention at any age. Deep cleanings and close follow-up help keep the bone and gum tissue that hold your teeth in place.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a lost tooth with a fixed, natural-looking restoration. New patients can schedule a free dental implant consultation to talk through the process and the cost.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Loud snoring and waking up tired can point to a breathing problem during sleep. The office offers sleep apnea treatment, and custom nightguards protect teeth from nighttime grinding.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings and checkups remain the simplest way to avoid bigger work later. With the office only minutes from home, staying on schedule is easy.
Every plan starts with an exam and a conversation about your goals. Some patients want a brighter smile for an upcoming event, while others simply want a sore tooth fixed. The dentists explain the options, and the team checks your insurance, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is DNTL Studio from Upland Hills, and how do I get there?
From the Upland Hills Drive entrance on 16th Street, the office is 2.8 miles away, roughly 6 minutes by car. Drive west on 16th Street, then south on Euclid Avenue, and U-turn at E A St to reach the northbound side. For residents choosing a dentist near Upland Hills, the whole trip stays inside Upland.
Do I need a nightguard if I clench my teeth at night?
Often, yes. Clenching and grinding wear down enamel, chip edges and strain the jaw joints, and most people do it without noticing. A custom nightguard cushions the teeth while you sleep. Signs include morning headaches, sore jaw muscles and flattened teeth, and the dentists can spot the wear during a routine exam.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
Results commonly last from several months to a few years. Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco bring stains back faster, while good brushing and regular cleanings help the shade hold. Occasional touch-ups keep a smile bright. The dentists can suggest an approach that suits your teeth and your habits.
Can I book the first appointment of the morning?
Yes, appointments start at 8 AM, Monday through Thursday. An early slot works well for anyone who wants to finish before work, a round of golf or other plans. Booking a few weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of times. The office is closed on Fridays.
Who are the dentists at DNTL Studio?
The practice has two dentists, Dr. Valay Desai and Dr. Prashant Amin. Dr. Desai is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and Dr. Amin co-founded the practice and has more than 18 years of experience. Hygienists Julie, Chelsea and Mona handle cleanings, and the team offers care in Spanish, Hindi and Gujarati.
