Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, prefers to use every high-tech tool available, to better service his patients. The typical dentist office uses a small mirror and maybe magnifying glasses to inspect the teeth and mouth. By digging around with a tool they can get the general idea that there is some decay or a broken tooth.

Not Dr. Maddahi. He uses a small pen-shaped camera that displays the teeth on a large computer screen, so that he and the patient can see and understand exactly what is going on in the mouth. This camera is easily and comfortably positioned over each tooth, and throughout the mouth, so that the gums and every part of the oral cavity are thoroughly inspected.

The IntraOral Camera is this new high-tech tool, used by Dr. Maddahi. Permitting he and the patient to observe on the computer screen, with crystal clarity, every tooth and gum surface in the patient’s mouth as the camera is moved from structure to structure. This is a vital diagnostic tool for the doctor and it finally allows a patient to have the exact same view that the dentist has!

Dr. Maddahi also likes to use the IntraOral Camera as an educational tool. This allows the patient to see his mouth and ask questions about anything they see. In this way they are able to become more knowledgeable about the condition of their mouth.

Very often Dr. Maddahi has found that this knowledge can make it possible for his patients to become more responsible for the care of their teeth and gums, resulting in better dental health.  Additionally, the patient can view any characteristics of their mouth that may concern them. A photo can be printed and sent to the insurance company or brought home to discuss the treatment plan with other family members.

As we know, bacteria are the cause of gum disease. Another new high-tech tool that Dr. Maddahi employs is a high resolution, state of the art, 40x by 1600x Trinocular Compound Microscope. The purpose of this device is to fully identify exactly what type of bacteria is in the patient’s mouth.

This allows the hygienist, the dentist and the patient to digitally view moving bacteria in the patient’s mouth, on a computerized video screen.  The guesswork is taken out of killing germs.  Bacteria, gone undetected, can cause the patient to lose his/her teeth.  Once Dr. Maddahi identifies the specific bacteria in the mouth, using this special microscope, he can more specifically diagnose the hygiene needed to do away with the bacteria.

The other high-tech viewing tool used by Dr. Maddahi is a computerized split image system, showing the before and potential after shots of any work to be done. Now both the dentist and the patient can know how that procedure will alter the look of the patient, before any work is done, using the Digital Cosmetic Imaging system.

Dr. Maddahi can adjust his plan for his patient based on these before and after images. He can use this with the most basic cosmetic dentistry procedure of tooth whitening all the way to the complex procedure of a full mouth reconstruction, saving both time and allaying any patient’s concerns.

High-tech dentistry is offered at the Los Angeles cosmetic dentist office of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, located in Beverly Hills, resulting in the highest quality natural, beautiful smiles.

Is there a special day ahead for you? Are you wondering what you might do that could instantly improve your looks? Are your teeth dull, yellowed or grey looking? Beverly Hills tooth whitening specialist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, can give you that result you are hoping for.

The most frequently used procedure in cosmetic dentistry is tooth whitening. Why? Because teeth whitening can give the fastest result for the least expense. Everyone looks better with whiter teeth.  The teeth that babies have are very white. Therefore a beautiful fresh smile improves appearance and makes a person look younger.

The culprits that most often cause stained teeth include tobacco products; coffee or tea; red wine; colas; soy sauce; berries; mustard or ketchup; and any other red sauce. These dull the teeth, making them yellowed or grey.

Dr. Maddahi holds to a very high standard for whitened teeth. Unfortunately, these days it is not unusual to see teeth that are unnaturally white. Inferior teeth whitening products, or dentists who fail to maintain a standard with whitening, can create a very abnormal look to a smile.

The expert eye and artistic vision that are the basis of the work done by Dr. Maddahi, result in truly beautiful and natural looking smiles. The only aspect of treatment that he considers more important than his artistic result is coordinating frankly with the patient to make certain that their needs and wants are understood and followed.

Some of the patients who come to Dr. Maddahi have a preference for a more natural white color to the smile. Yet there are patients who desire a stark, bright white look, like that of the movie stars. Whatever degree of whiteness desired can be achieved. For Dr. Maddahi, this is actually the most important part of the procedure.

Digital cosmetic imaging is the first step of most whitening procedures given at this office. The patient and the dentist can view, with a split screen, what the new smile will be, compared with what it looks like now. What a valuable tool for Dr. Maddahi to have, so that he can give the patient just the look they desire.

Dr. Maddahi only uses the most advanced, highest quality tooth whitening system available, Zoom 2 Advanced Power Plus Chairside Tooth Whitening. This system uses hydrogen peroxide to whiten the teeth. It penetrates and bleaches the tooth structure. Using a light-activated system for the process creates a faster penetration of the tooth structure, thereby accelerating the bleaching process!

It is important to realize that different skin types look better with a darker shade of white, while others may look the best with bright white. This is why is it very important to work with an artist like Dr. Maddahi. As well, existing dental work may not lighten with tooth whitener, so these teeth need to be color-matched.

Call the office today and schedule your Zoom! Teeth Whitening procedure. It takes about one hour, and you will have that beautiful natural new smile that you were looking for. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi’s Los Angeles cosmetic dentist office is located in Beverly Hills with convenient valet parking available.
