Repairing Dental Work, Resulting in Beautiful, Natural Smiles

10/20/2009

Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, is committed to creating completely natural looking, beautiful smiles.  “All too often I find that the patient sitting in front of me has just spent thousands of dollars for a new smile or to repair teeth, that now I need to restore that smile, because someone has just done poor dental work.”

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a favored Los Angeles dentist, transforms discolored teeth, poorly shaped teeth, unattractive gum levels and large spaces rapidly, crafting a beautiful smile makeover. We have all seen friends or co-workers with new dental work that looks unnatural; perhaps the teeth are too big or too small, perhaps a bad choice of color or just the wrong style. 

Dr. Maddahi has a very exact methodology, “When I look at a patient, I am not just looking at their teeth.  I am looking at their whole face, how to make a smile to match their personality, the symmetry of their face.” His passionate combination of dentistry and artistry is the formula that made Dr. Maddahi one of Los Angeles' leading cosmetic dentists. 

It also helps a lot that he has the capacity to work with the patient, to hear what they want, what they suggest and to find out what it is that they are most comfortable with. Using state-of-the-art digital cosmetic imaging equipment, he and the patient together find the best new smile for them. The computerized image shows the current smile and a simulation of the future work.
 
“When a patient comes to my office with the need for repair work, we carefully discuss all the options.”, explains Dr. Maddahi. “There are so many choices these days. Perhaps they only need a teeth whitening. Others might want to match certain teeth the rest of their mouth. The choices are many, including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic implants, bridges, recontouring, composite bonding, dentures or even same day porcelain crowns, inlays, and onlays.”

Because the artistic eye is vital for cosmetic dentistry, despite good training, extensive experience and important certificates, some dentists just don’t have what it takes to create natural, beautiful smiles that match the personality and facial symmetry of the patient.

In the field of dentistry, the technology is always changing, the field expanding and new tech abounds. Dr. Maddahi explains the importance to him of the new avenues that he reaches for. “I always strive to stay up-to-date on leading-edge techniques and treatments. I constantly look for ways to advance, whether it be from continued courses, other dentists or through hands-on experience.”
One patient asked to share his story with other dental patients. He had been married for 20 years and his wife had never seen his full smile. He went from dentist to dentist, trying to find a solution for his unsightly smile. He explains, “ With shame I kept my mouth shut – hiding away.” And then he met with Dr. Maddahi and a week later he had his temporary teeth. After one more visit he had the smile he needed.

"I have a bright smile and a bright future. I'm not self-conscious anymore. For a good twenty years I use to half grin with my mouth shut. I got the wrong reaction from others. It was often interpreted that I was a surly guy. I was encountering that and people were backed off because I couldn't use my face to express myself because I was hiding my smile.”
