I recently had the full-arch dental implant procedure done at Smith Dental, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, the entire experience was top-notch. Dr. Smith and his team were incredibly knowledgeable and caring throughout the process.

Meet Your Doctors
Dr. Richard Bradshaw | DMD
Early on, Dr. Richard Bradshaw met several dentists and was always impressed with their charitable natures. He loved that they could improve someone’s life so easily—be it by fixing a chipped tooth or getting them out of pain. He had never considered being a dentist until he had a dentist invite him to his office to shadow him. Dr. Bradshaw loved the clinical challenges and the independence. To him, dentistry lends itself to charity and provides one with the chance to have a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Dr. Bradshaw attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and while there, he did optional advanced training and worked in a special needs clinic. He pursued additional training after graduation during his residency, in which he gained experience treating geriatric patients and using dental implants. His continuing education since graduation has been quite varied. He has focused on refining his clinical skills in endodontics (root canals), restorative dentistry, sedation, and dental implants. Dr. Bradshaw is also a member of the Academy of General Dentistry and the Southern Oregon Dental Society. Dr. Bradshaw likes working with patients 50 years and older because it gives him the opportunity to really make a difference in their lives. He likes the restorative challenges they present and the management of medical histories. These cases require some creativity and often use most, if not all of the elements of dentistry. Dr. Bradshaw strives to do most procedures in-house to make it convenient and efficient for his patients. He and his team work hard to accommodate everyone who comes to see them to make their experience as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. When not at the office, Dr. Bradshaw enjoys fishing, camping, hiking, and playing racquetball. He is married and has three daughters, so he spends lots of time attending all of their various activities. He enjoys reading, cooking, and doing projects around the house as well. He also dedicates a lot of his free time to numerous charitable events intended to improve the lives of the people in Medford and around the world.
Dr. Michael B. Uffens | DMD
Dr. Michael B. Uffens attended Brigham Young University and then achieved his Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Nevada in Reno. He has additional training in orthodontics and minimal sedation. He has been proudly working in dentistry for a decade now! He loves interacting with patients and helping them achieve their smile goals. Dr. Uffens’ hometown is Redmond, WA. He is married and has three daughters and one son. When he has free time outside of the practice, he enjoys backcountry skiing, mountain and road biking, being involved with his church, golfing, playing tennis, and running. He also regularly runs marathons and has started training for an ultramarathon.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I floss?
You should floss at least once a day to maintain optimal oral health. This helps remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gum line, where a toothbrush can't reach.
What should I do about my tooth sensitivity?
For tooth sensitivity, use a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth, avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks, and maintain good oral hygiene. If sensitivity persists, consult your dentist for a thorough examination and personalized treatment options.
What does fluoride do for my teeth?
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It helps to prevent cavities by remineralizing areas of early decay and inhibiting the growth of harmful oral bacteria.
Is my bad breath related to my oral health?
Yes, bad breath can be related to oral health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, or poor oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups can help manage and prevent bad breath.
