Spanish Dentistry is about more than just improving your oral health. When restoring your smile, we also take cosmetic dentistry into account. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, rather than their health or structure. And while you need healthy teeth as a good foundation, we also understand the importance of a smile that you can be proud of. At Brent Bradford, DDS, in Syracuse, NY, we take the power of a beautiful smile seriously. By combining restorative and cosmetic dentistry, we provide simple ways for patients like you to feel great and smile confidently.
How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Help You?
If the following imperfections have been bothering you, we may be able to transform your smile through cosmetic dentistry.
Cracks or fractures: Dental trauma causes broken teeth that affect not only your ability to function, but also the appearance of your smile. Fortunately, Dr. Bradford fortifies these teeth and hides any cracks or fractures from view.- Missing teeth: Lost teeth cause issues with function, but they also affect how you feel about your smile. Patients with gaps in their teeth often feel uncomfortable smiling or eating in front of others. Dr. Bradford helps replace missing teeth to restore your smile and confidence.
- Loose dentures: Unstable or floating dentures are notorious for making everyday life more difficult. Between struggling to eat and the embarrassment of your dentures slipping out, patients often find their confidence plummet. But at Brent Bradford, DDS, we can secure your denture in place and restore your confident smile.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
While Dr. Bradford’s main focus is improving your oral health, he also takes the aesthetics of your smile into account. His restorative procedures also enhance the appearance of your smile, improving your oral health and self-esteem.
Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover an entire tooth.
When your tooth is fractured or cracked, you may find it difficult or even painful to chew. But with a dental crown, you can function again with a complete and beautiful smile!
These caps look like natural teeth and are made of durable ceramic. This material covers the entire surface of a damaged tooth, fortifying its structure and concealing the damage. Additionally, dental crowns help protect teeth from further damage or infection, keeping your smile happy and healthy.
At Brent Bradford, DDS, we offer same-day crowns. Thanks to our innovative CEREC machine, we design, fabricate, and place a custom crown in just one appointment. The same day you walk into our office with a broken tooth, you may be able to leave with a beautiful and healthy crown instead.
Bridges
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth.
False teeth, or pontics, sit in the gaps of your smile and are held in place by two dental crowns. These crowns cover the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile, supporting the bridge to keep your teeth functional.
Bridges are remarkably secure and durable, allowing you to chew and speak without issue. And, we ensure these bridges look incredibly natural in your mouth as they’re designed to look and function like real teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium screws that we embed in your jawbone. These implants anchor restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures to your jaw, keeping them secure while you go about your day.
Traditional crowns don’t replace missing teeth, but when combined with an implant, they can replace a single tooth! Dental bridges do replace teeth, but they’re much more secure and long-lasting with dental implants in place. Traditional dentures replace all your teeth, but they’re notorious for coming loose over time. Dental implants prevent loose dentures by securing your restoration to your jaw!
At Brent Bradford, DDS, we offer both conventional dental implants and mini dental implants.
Mini implants are smaller and sleeker, with a unique one-piece design. These titanium posts are just as strong and durable as their conventional counterparts, but with incredible benefits! Thanks to their smaller size, mini implants are less invasive, less expensive, and a better option for those with jawbone loss.
