Keeping up with new technology in the dental field is a feat in and of itself. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, ensures that his Beverly Hills dentist office is always at the forefront of new technological advances.

Dr. Maddahi explains, “When it comes to high-tech equipment and procedures, if we don’t keep up with the latest and most advanced procedures and tools, I am unable to effectively view, diagnose and treat a patient’s dental health.”

For patients who are in need of dental implants, prior to new innovation, patients waited up to a year from start to finish for implant procedures to be completed. The procedure also involved a few months of planning, multiple visits to the dentist for impressions, visiting different dental offices, on and on.

It used to take numerous x-rays to determine everything – how much bone, what was the length and quality, where the nerves were, the sinus, etc. Dental implants had been previously not only very painful and needful of an extensive recovery period, but with precision preparation and procedure this really is no longer necessarily the case.

Through the use of the Sirona GALILEOS Implant system, Dr. Maddahi’s office is now providing same day implants. This three-dimensional imaging system allows display of the entire jaw and joint. This is accomplished in just minutes, with no waiting for the x-ray to develop. The preparation steps are done in advance, all together. All the prep work is completed before the patient arrives in the office for the surgery. Now patients can have the look they wish for with their implants, and can expect a look and feel the most comparable to natural teeth.

Laser dentistry has, over the past decade, revolutionized many areas of dental care. Lasers help by making some procedures entirely or nearly pain free. Additionally, laser dentistry has simplified some common procedures by reducing recovery time, and time spent in the office.

Dr. Maddahi has recently acquired a brand new state-of-the-art laser for his office. The Waterlase MD Turbo laser performs much like a high-speed drill, but never touches the teeth. It uses a gentle spray of water and laser energy, to perform without vibration, heat or pressure.

The use of the Waterlase MD laser dentistry means fewer anaesthesia injections are needed, which results in less numbing. Soft-tissue procedures can be completed with the least bleeding, swelling and post-op pain. The results are almost magical.

The Waterlase MD means no more vibration or heat from a drill and thereby brings about much a kinder, minimally invasive dentistry which reduces patient fear and anxiety of dental appointments.

Many other high-tech tools are used routinely in the office of Dr. Maddahi, including a digital x-ray system that is in each room of the office. The IntraOral Camera displays, with crystal clarity, every tooth and gum surface in the patient’s mouth as the camera is moved from tooth to gum and the tongue.

Another remarkable tool is the high resolution state-of-the-art 40x by 1600x Trinocular Compound Microscope. This allows the hygienist, the doctor and the patient to digitally view live bacteria from the patient’s mouth on a computerized video screen.

With Digital Cosmetic Imaging, both the patient and Dr. Maddahi are given the opportunity to view a digitally computerized split-image photograph of the patient’s smile.  One half of the screen shows their current smile and the other half, a digital simulation of the projected cosmetic work.

The newest, advanced high-tech dentistry is always available at the Los Angeles cosmetic dentist office of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, located in Beverly Hills, resulting in the highest quality natural, beautiful smiles.

Smile and the whole world smiles with you. Right? Well, what if you have dingy, grey teeth or a crooked smile, or you are missing a few teeth? Not so likely. A poor smile gives a poor impression. And the first thing a person notices, usually, is your smile.

Considering all the options available in cosmetic dentistry, the single most popular procedure is the application of porcelain veneers. It takes as few as two visits to completely refurbish an unsightly or lackluster smile. And the results created by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi are always remarkable and lasting.

This Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist is a leader in the creation and application of beautiful dental veneers. His practice is known for the extremely high quality of veneers produced. The results gotten, factoring the time and finances it takes, are one of the best deals in dentistry.

Veneers are routinely used to reshape oddly shaped teeth, to repair chipped or damaged teeth, to fill gaps between teeth and to handle extreme discoloration or staining. When they are expertly created and applied they bring about a dramatic enhancement of the teeth and smile.

By definition a veneer is ‘an outer layer fixed to something for decoration or protection’. Porcelain dental veneers are thin layers of dental grade porcelain glued to the surface of teeth. When designed with quality they have the same luminosity as natural tooth enamel. They are durable and strong, and often last up to twenty years.

Making veneers that are indistinguishable from the natural teeth comes about from a number of factors. Some aspects are technical and some are artistic. Dr. Maddahi begins by consulting closely with the patient who wants veneers. He looks at the shape of the face, the formation of the teeth and any imperfections.

He thoroughly discusses all of this with the patient. He answers their questions and educates them on the procedures involved. An important factor is the use of state-of-the-art video imaging to actually show the patient and Dr. Maddahi what choices they have in the final product. He looks for a result that will enhance the patient and not just their teeth.

Using the advanced technology called Shade Vision, Dr. Maddahi will obtain accurate readings of the color and shade of the existing teeth. This is very important because veneers have to be an exact match to the existing teeth or they tend to look artificial. Teeth are not all one color and the color and shade varies from tooth to tooth. Usually, the existing teeth would be cleaned and whitened first so the veneers made would match the teeth in their best condition.

The lab works exactly with the impression, color and shade data, as well as Dr. Maddahi’s explicit directions on how to create the custom veneer. Before they are mounted, the veneers are checked for fit, color match and, most importantly, patient approval.

Then they are then permanently affixed to the teeth. This procedure is accomplished in only two or three visits, usually. The product is an amazingly renewed and beautiful natural smile.

Other than the repair of anything discovered by the dentist, inspecting the teeth is really the most vital part of dentistry. Therefore, without proper tools for inspection, dentistry becomes a guessing game, and not a true science.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, ensures that his Beverly Hills dentist office is always way ahead of the curve when it comes to high-tech equipment and procedures. “Without the latest and most advanced tools, I am unable to effectively view and properly diagnose a patient’s dental health.”

Dr. Maddahi continues, “We begin with a digital x-ray system that is in each room of the office. The digital x-ray gives me the ability to magnify, colorize, and alter the density of the image, allowing the most advanced diagnosis based on an x-ray image. Additionally, it takes only three seconds from when the camera is clicked to when the X-ray image is transferred to the computer screen.”

Traditionally, the method used by a dentist to inspect teeth has been to take a small mirror, open the patient’s mouth and poke around, often while wearing reading glasses to slightly magnify the mouth. Later dentists began wearing a small magnifying glass over one eye, greatly improving inspection.

But now Dr. Maddahi employs a high-tech way to view what is happening in the mouth and with the teeth. The IntraOral Camera is a new high-tech tool that displays, with crystal clarity, every tooth and gum surface in the patient’s mouth as the camera is moved from tooth to gum and the tongue.

Dr. Maddahi uses this camera so that he and his patients are able to view the mouth on a computer screen, at the same time. “This is a vital diagnostic tool for the doctor and likewise gives the patient the exact same view of what the cosmetic dentist is viewing.”

Such detailed viewing can lead to the patient becoming far more responsible for the care of their teeth and gums.  Additionally, the patient can get a photograph for their insurance company or take pictures home to discuss the aspects of their mouth that concern the dentist or to discuss the treatment plan with other family members.

Another amazing tool is the high resolution state-of-the-art 40x by 1600x Trinocular Compound Microscope. This allows the patient, the hygienist, and the doctor to digitally view moving bacteria from the patient’s mouth on a computerized video screen.  No longer does the dentist need to speculate when killing germs.

Bacteria are the root of gum disease. If the exact bacteria are only guessed at or remain undetected, a patient can lose their teeth.  When Dr. Maddahi identifies the precise bacteria in the mouth using this special microscope, he can very specifically diagnose and prescribe a correction.

With Digital Cosmetic Imaging, both Dr. Maddahi and the patient have the opportunity to view a digitally computerized split-image photograph of the patient’s smile.  One half of the screen is their current smile and on the other half is a digital simulation of the proposed cosmetic work.

This “know before you go” method works with any proposed treatment plan.  It can be used on even the most basic cosmetic dentistry procedure, such as tooth whitening, all the way through to the complex procedure of a full mouth reconstruction.  It can show a patient or Dr. Maddahi computerized step-by-step simulations of tooth-colored restorations, porcelain veneers and crowns as well as bridges, cosmetic contouring, bonding, and much more.

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

The search for affordable dental implants in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, or hunting for cheap dental implants or the lowest dental implant cost on the internet, can be a risky endeavor. One might assume that all dental implant procedures are the same, and that if done in the US they are all approved by the FDA and ADA.

The truth is no. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, and the top implant surgeon in his Beverly Hills dentist office, have had extensive training as well as years of experience, resulting in many, many successes with dental implants.

Same Day Dental Implants? Less appointments, less pain? No cutting of the gum, thereby less invasive, yet, comparable cost to more lengthy processes. This office is well known for their precise attention to detail and medical integrity, which means that the exact placement of implants is a big part of this expertise.

It is important, when shopping for dental implants, to realize that a dental implant is a permanent, life-long fixture that factually molds into the body. Therefore the long-term success of the implant is based on the quality of the implant being used.

Over 200 different companies make and sell implants, so how then would a patient distinguish between those of acceptable quality and that which a dentist will use for their new teeth?

The ADA (American Dental Association) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) have only approved less than a dozen of these different manufacturers’ implants. These are the only products that they have found to prove to be safe and effective, thus winning the approval of the FDA and ADA.

Dr. Maddahi’s office uses only the utmost quality of dental implants, those that have the longest clinical research history. They avoid completely the less expensive, undocumented brands. Crafting an implant to precision tolerances with the high-quality materials required for long-term utilization in the mouth is unavoidably costly.

There is quite a variation in the wholesale cost of the diverse implant fixtures on the market. There are some, of the lowest quality implant devices, made in the Philippines, that sell for as little as three to five dollars. An appropriate dental implant that has been tested and approved may have an asking price that is as much as one hundred times that amount, in the vicinity of $300 to $500 to the dentist.

An additional factor in implant surgery deals with the actual placement and positioning of the implant device. Extreme skill and training is necessary when drilling holes into the jawbone. It is of utmost importance that the highly skilled dentist avoids damage to the nerves, face and jaw structure.

Dr. Maddahi always employs the newest and most advanced equipment, ensuring proper placement of implants, evading complications. Discomfort and pain, as well as infection leading to ill health, can be caused by the use of low quality, incorrectly positioned dental implant fixtures, ultimately causing a substandard smile.

Sirona, a three-dimensional imaging system, is the intuitive user interface of GALILEOS Implant technology which displays the nerve canal and other important anatomical points. These are mapped, denoted and measured precisely, using this highly developed software, providing the implant team a safe route to producing the best job.

The Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist office of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi offers no-charge dental implant consultation for any interested patient in Los Angeles looking for a dentist near Westwood, Brentwood, La Cienega or Wilshire.

Everyone knows that they must brush their teeth a minimum of twice a day. No one questions the fact that they are supposed to floss, daily, to avoid tooth decay and eventual loss of teeth. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles dentist with an office in Beverly Hills, further explains this health ritual.

Last year an oral care survey found that over 60 percent of the people asked felt that they knew that bacteria affected their oral health, but they would not be comfortable explaining why or how that works. This survey was given to more than 1000 adults across the United States.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi is out to increase his patients understanding and knowledge of how bacteria affect oral health. The ADA explains it like this, “Your teeth are covered with a sticky film of bacteria called plaque. Following a meal or snack, the bacteria release acids that attack tooth enamel.”

So, decay is the destruction of tooth structure caused by the bacterial acids attacking the enamel. Tooth decay ensues when plaque mixes with the sugars, as well as the starches, of food. Jointly they develop an acidic substance that eats through the hard outside of the tooth, also known as enamel.

Bacteria are also at the root of gum disease. The ADA also explains, “Periodontal (gum) disease is caused by plaque… These bacteria create toxins that can damage the gums. It is important to have regular dental checkups, and professional cleaning is essential to prevent periodontal diseases.”

But if the exact bacteria are only guessed at, or remain undetected, a patient may lose their teeth. When Dr. Maddahi identifies the precise bacteria in the mouth using a special microscope, he knows exactly how to attack with a tailor-made treatment.

The remarkable dental instrument used in bacterial identification is a high-resolution state-of-the-art 40x by 1600x Trinocular Compound Microscope. With this microscope, the doctor, the hygienist and the patient are able to view, digitally, moving bacteria from the patient’s mouth on a computerized video screen. There is no longer any need for speculation, just pure science, when diagnosing periodontal disease.

Dr. Maddahi explains the importance of a proper dental hygiene routine, “Anaerobic bacteria (those living and growing in the absence of free oxygen) feed on leftovers and dead cells. These harmful microorganisms attack teeth and gums, producing a typical foul smell. The most common cause of halitosis is bacteria.”

He continues, “Brushing two or three times a day is not enough. Flossing after meals is important and seeing the dental hygienist to remove tartar buildup twice a year is needed. And don’t forget that dental caries or other decay or infection can also cause bad breath.”

In order to maintain good dental health, a regular dental checkup is required because decay can eat away from the tooth’s surface to the nerve in the heart of the tooth in just a year. Without regular cleanings and checkups a dental implant might be in order instead of just a clean bill of health.

Beverly Hills dentist, Dr, Kourosh Maddahi will provide a complimentary initial consultation in order to diagnose any existing dental worries. This is perfect for anyone from Westwood, Brentwood, Century City or Hancock Park who needs a new dentist!

Now there’s a brand new state-of-the-art laser, employed in the Beverly Hills dentist office of Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi. This new laser, the Waterlase MD Turbo, works like a high-speed drill, but never touches the tooth. It uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water, performing without heat, vibration or pressure.

“I want to revolutionize dentistry. We strive for the fastest, best result with the least pain”, explains Dr. Maddahi. “With the Waterlase MD Turbo, we are accomplishing our dentistry procedures faster than ever with less pain, less waiting and less recovery time.”

So advanced from the original lasers used in dentistry, the Waterlase MD Turbo is a cool laser. Customarily, of course, a laser was inherently heat based. There developed a significant difference in this technology.  Waterlase is the only cool laser used in dentistry – which therefore means no more burning to remove tissue and bone.

Imagine your dentist using a cool laser instead of a high-speed drill for drilling cavities? Yes, that means you perhaps won’t need Novocain. With much less pain, no heat, no noise, no weird drill smell and no vibration, the speed of this new high-tech laser is nearly equal to that of a high-speed drill. Many patients have found they can now get a cavity filled without the use of any anesthesia.

This revolutionary transformation in dentistry should bring certain people back to the dentist office! A survey conducted by the National Institute for Consumer Education found that 82% of people have fear of the dentist. They also found that 68% of that fear is because of the injection so often needed for dental work. And, 53 % do not like the post-operative numbness.

As in earlier treatment of periodontal disease, this innovative dental laser can be used on infected gums to significantly shrink inflammation. Any expected pain in this treatment is greatly diminished with the Waterlase. Treating infected gums with laser dentistry will usually keep the area free from returning bacteria for up to 30 days. The now-vaporized tissue, which was infected beforehand, is found to grow back now, bacteria free.

Need crown lengthening? Customarily, it takes six to eight weeks of healing after crown lengthening before the next procedure can be done. When a condition exists where a tooth needs a crown but too much of the tooth is missing, crown lengthening will be performed right in Dr. Maddahi’s office. This is done with less recovery time and much less pain than earlier-used methods.

There is one more important use of laser dentistry. When a patient finds that their smile is “too gummy” this new laser is used to remove the extra gum, called gum recontouring. And this procedure is also now far faster, with less pain and far more rapid healing.

The upshot of Waterlase MD laser dentistry is that fewer injections are needed, meaning less numbing and soft-tissue procedures are completed with the least swelling, bleeding and post-op pain. The Waterlase MD effectively eliminates the vibration and heat of a drill, and affords much more minimally invasive dentistry thereby reducing patient fear and anxiety of dental appointments.

Smiles say a lot. A smile can say “hello”. A smile can say “I care”. A smile can say “I like that”. Or a smile can say “I don’t care – about me”. A person who has dirty, dingy, broken teeth or people who are missing teeth, certainly express a certain impression about themselves.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills dentist, is concerned with the Los Angeles population and their smiles – that is, with their teeth. Among what are considered the top fifteen U.S. metropolitan regions, Los Angeles ranked in the bottom three with regard to dental care. The three best were the Bay Area, Philadelphia and Boston.

Recently a survey of American adults regarding personal dental care habits was conducted by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare. That survey found that only twenty-nine percent of those surveyed actually brush and floss once a day, as well as have a teeth cleaning at the dentist once a year. Many forgo at least one of these.

Of those who do brush and floss daily and annually visit the dentist for a cleaning, eighty-four percent said their motivation was to keep teeth and gums healthy. The other reason, given by eighty percent, was simply to clean the teeth of food and other debris.

Are you a poor brusher? Do you also have trouble getting dates? Seventy-three percent said they would not be involved with a partner who did not brush their teeth at least once a day. Forty-one percent of those said their partner has to brush twice a day.

If you are considering improving your statistics in the area, but want a few weeks to brush first, you are not alone. Seventy-seven percent of those surveyed said that they brush their teeth more thoroughly than usually when they know they are going to see the dentist.

Although we all have been told, our entire lives, that a professional teeth cleaning by the dentist or dental hygienist is important for our dental health and welfare, almost half of the population have not had their teeth cleaned professionally in the past year. Only fifty-three percent said they had.

On the other hand, they know that they should be taking better care of their teeth. More than one quarter of the surveyed American adults said they are not satisfied with their current oral health care routine and they feel they should improve it.

That could be because they don’t necessarily feel that there exists solutions for what they consider the most important factor in dental hygiene, removing bacteria and germs. Yet only 52 percent felt that their current oral health care routine actually was effective at doing so.

Those surveyed had one other beef. Sixty-nine percent said that they feel it important that toothpaste clean between the teeth. Only forty-nine percent feel that their toothpaste is effectively cleaning between the teeth.

Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi stresses solutions for all oral health and hygiene troubles. His dentist office in Beverly Hills provides high tech procedures and equipment to resolve any dental problem there may be.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, whose dentist office is conveniently located in Beverly Hills, answers several of the questions most frequently asked about cosmetic dentistry.

What is high-tech dentistry and why is it important?
Dr. Maddahi’s office strives to stay up-to-date with the latest cosmetic dentistry technology, in order to best service his patients. Digital x-rays are a good example of this, as with digital x-rays not only does the patient receive 90% less radiation than conventional X-rays, they save time. In only three seconds the X-ray image transfers to the computer screen, and that’s important.

Is it possible to know what my new smile will look like before the procedure is performed?
With the use of state-of-the-art Digital Cosmetic Imaging, a patient is able to see what their new smile will look like. This makes it so much easier to see and make changes to the plan before any work is done.

I like to know a lot about my procedures before they begin. Is this a problem like with some other dentists? They always seem to be so rushed.
Dr. Maddahi insists on taking the time to explain everything to his patients. Additionally he wants to get any questions from them or hear any concerns they may have. His practice is based on a very open communication between his staff and patients and he and his staff are naturally very willing to provide for any special needs of their patients.

Can cosmetic dentistry handle the gaps between my teeth and my uneven teeth or do I need orthodontics?
Yes, with the use of porcelain veneers, Dr. Maddahi can repair an unsightly smile so there is no longer any gap, and the teeth are even. Additionally, the new smile will look natural and beautiful because of his outstanding artistry combined with the advanced equipment in the office.

Is cosmetic dentistry better than orthodontics?
Of course, wearing unsightly braces and retainers can be embarrassing and painful and orthodontic treatment often can take years. In most cases, Dr. Maddahi can create a natural-looking, comfortable smile instantly with porcelain veneers.

How are the unsightly stains on my teeth best handled?
Dr. Maddahi only uses Zoom!2 Chairside Tooth Whitening, which is an in-office tooth whitening procedure. The hydrogen peroxide gel, which is the main ingredient in the whitener, is at a much stronger concentration in the dental office than found in in-home procedures, so it whitens better and much faster. The Zoom! gel whitens both enamel and dentin, so you’ll be greatly pleased with the natural looking new color of your teeth.

How painful will my procedure be?
Dr. Maddahi endeavors to make every procedure he does as stress-free and painless as possible. It has been found that the speed of application is often the cause for the pain often found when getting anesthetic through a needle. Dr. Maddahi uses “The Wand” to apply local anesthesia more slowly.  He uses an air drill in place of metal drills whenever possible so the amount of pain is decreased.  And as a plus, in many cases with the air drill anesthesia is not needed at all.

Beverly Hills dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, prides himself on using the newest, high-tech procedures and equipment to create beautiful, natural smiles.

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.”

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, creates completely natural looking, beautiful smiles.

Completely natural looking, beautiful smiles are the expected standard in business and personal circumstances. It’s an interesting change in customary standards, but when you realize how easy it now is to achieve a perfect smile it’s no wonder.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, is well known in Los Angeles for his aesthetic eye as well as his high tech skill and artistry in the creating of a better smile in record time. Dr. Maddahi practices speed and perfection, while providing beautiful and absolutely natural-looking smiles, and does so consistently, and very quickly.

Indeed, the amount of time it may take for him to create a beautiful, natural new smile, whether he is performing a whole mouth reconstruction or only replacing a few teeth, is record-breaking!

How? Dr. Maddahi perfected this speed drill while filming for the many television shows that have used him over the past years to demonstrate smile makeovers. What came of this experience was perfection and speed. Imagine being filmed by a television crew, who have an exact timetable laid out, and who are only in the office for a few hours.

Having been filmed for numerous television networks such as CNN, Fox and ABC, as well as having been seen on such shows as Oprah, Entertainment Tonight and Good Day LA, to name just a few, Dr. Maddahi learned to get his work done in the time allotted, and he always had to make sure it was perfect!

Sadly, a beautiful and completely natural-looking smile is not always the outcome of some cosmetic dentistry. We have all seen teeth that have been made too white, or too big for the lips. Some dental work just does not look natural; perhaps the shape, size or hue of the teeth is incorrect. Not so with Dr. Maddahi!

While Dr. Kourosh Maddahi specializes in complete smile makeovers, he also offers porcelain crowns and veneers, teeth whitening, and a full array of all other dental services.

Have you heard yet about the newest high-tech system for same-day permanent dental crowns, inlays or onlays? Dr. Maddahi says, “The CEREC tooth restoration system gives beautiful, natural all-ceramic restorations – crowns, onlays and inlays. Because we have the system in our office, I am right there with the computer on the tooth and sculpting the tooth from that vantage point. We actually get a better fit than most lab work. The margins are perfectly sculpted.”

The use of digital x-rays greatly reduces the time dental work takes. In three seconds time from the camera clicking, the X-ray image is available on the computer screen. Dr. Maddahi also uses the IntraOral Camera, which is a small pen-shaped camera that also instantly displays images on the screen. This is an important diagnostic tool for the doctor, and also gives the patient the exact same view of what the dentist is viewing.

Digital Cosmetic Imaging also helps to make the process quicker. The computerized split-image displays one-half of the screen as the current smile and the other a digital simulation of the smile after work is done. This allows for an immediate decision by the patient and the dentist.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, performs with speed and perfection in cosmetic dentistry while achieving beautiful and completely natural-looking smiles.
