At the forefront of the latest cosmetic dental revolution, is Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi. “The technology has gotten so good that anyone can have a beautiful smile that will last and make them look fantastic. Today nobody needs to feel insecure about their smile.”

 

Dr. Maddahi says, “But first before I plan how to create a beautiful smile, I always check the patient’s mouth for gum disease, TMJ, an oral cancer, cavities, and then do a smile evaluation. I am very thorough.”

 

Cosmetic dentistry may also provide restorative benefits. For example, dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth. Previously, most dental fillings were composed primarily of gold, silver fillings and other materials that left visible dark spots on the teeth. Dr. Maddahi who is also a leader in bio-compatible dentistry can perform a test to determine if the patient is allergic to certain materials and choose the materials that are safe for their body.

 

Technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-colored dental materials make today’s cosmetic dental treatments more durable and predictable than in years past

 

Dr. Maddahi performs many different cosmetic dentistry treatments in his spa-like offices in Beverly Hills, including inlays and onlays. They are also called indirect fillings. Inlays and onlays are made from porcelain or composite materials and are a long-lasting yet aesthetic way to provide a “filling” to teeth with tooth decay or similar structural damage. Whereas dental fillings are molded into place within the mouth during a dental visit, inlays and onlays are created in a dental laboratory before being fitted and adhesively bonded into place by your dentist.

 

Chipped, broken, discolored or decayed teeth may be repaired or have their appearance corrected using a procedure called composite bonding. A dental composite material with the look of enamel and dentin is applied into the cavity or onto the surface of a tooth, where it is then sculpted into shape, contoured and hardened with a high-intensity light. The result is a restoration that blends invisibly with the remainder of the surrounding tooth structure and the rest of your natural teeth to create a healthy, bright smile.

 

Teeth Whitening is perhaps the most popular recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. Teeth are often stained from smoking, food, drink (coffee, tea or red wine) or poor oral hygiene. Bleaching the teeth can enhance the appearance of your smile instantly.

 

Dental Veneers are composite or porcelain laminates that are adhesively bonded to the surface of a tooth to correct and repair chips and cracks will improve a worn appearance or severe tooth discoloration. Veneers may also be recommended if you have gaps in your teeth or if you have not had success with teeth whitening.

 

Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements that are used as a part of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry in order to compensate for tooth loss. Often the result is not only an enhanced smile, but also a more youthful appearance, since missing teeth cause the face to collapse, making you look older

 

Smile makeovers involve a comprehensive assessment of your smile esthetics in order to improve its overall appearance. Typically one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as dental veneers, dental implants, gingival sculpting and teeth whitening, will be required for several teeth in both the upper and lower arches in order to achieve the look you want. With Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, anyone can have a gorgeous smile.
