Unfortunate as it is, some people – many people, are greatly affected by the lacking quality of their smile. It really makes sense, if you think of it. What is the first thing that a person sees when they meet someone? What of the social stigma of unhealthy or missing teeth? Some people simply try to hide their teeth by covering their mouth or not smiling, but there are those who will simply reduce their social interaction to avoid showing their teeth.
 
Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, is a top Los Angeles porcelain veneer dentist. He prides himself on his ability to assist his patients to increase their self-esteem and better their outward image by making over their smiles with the use of porcelain veneers.
 
Recently, especially in urban and metropolitan communities, looks have become increasingly important, and a person’s physical image plays a more predominant part in first impressions than ever before. Displaying self-confidence by smiling widely to any and all can make a great first impression, not only in the workplace but also in social settings.
 
Regrettably, so many adults have teeth that are crooked, stained and worn down. For crooked teeth, braces are a common option, but many are reluctant to suffer through conventional orthodontic treatment. Wearing uncomfortable metal braces for a number of years is a high price to pay for straight teeth, and when complete the teeth still may be stained or worn.
 
When immediate, simple results are desired, porcelain veneers are most often the best choice. The application of porcelain veneers is quick, painless and can completely change a smile. Dr. Maddahi explains, “Using porcelain veneers provides patients with the option of immediately improving the appearance of chipped, stained, and crooked teeth. The final result gives them a great deal of happiness and satisfaction. It is a great pleasure to see my patients go from hiding their teeth, to being happy and smiling.”
 
In as few as two visits to Dr. Maddahi, a patient can completely transform their smile. Dr. Maddahi has rightfully earned great repute in this field. One patient shares her story, “Braces were not an option for me. Changing my smile with porcelain veneers has changed my life. People compliment me all the time on my teeth, when I used to be ashamed to smile. I feel better and look better.”
 
The first step is design. Dr. Maddahi creates custom veneers for each procedure. “I work with the patient to determine the best color, shape and porcelain translucency for their mouth, to create a natural looking smile,” he explains.
 
Then, a very little enamel is removed to create room for the thin veneer that will be affixed to the front of the teeth. For a few weeks, temporary laminates are used, while a top dental lab creates the permanent, custom-fit porcelain veneers to Dr. Maddahi’s exact specifications.
 
The permanent veneer looks just like a natural tooth, reflecting light in the same way, due to the luster and translucence of the porcelain. Dr. Maddahi will ensure he corrects the shape, size, color and positioning of the teeth. Also, veneers can fix the misalignment of overcrowded front teeth, or close the gaps in between teeth.
 
Dr. Kourosh Maddahi in Beverly Hills delivers expert porcelain veneers with every patient that visits his Los Angeles cosmetic dentist office improving quality of life and often transforming the person’s social existence.
