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.

Have you recently discovered that you or a family member is in need of dental care, and you just don’t have the finances to handle the work needed? Does you insurance not cover the procedures that you require? Los Angeles family dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, has a dentist office in Beverly Hills that will work with you on establishing a dental credit line.

Dr. Maddahi’s office works closely with several credit providers to ensure that their patients are able to get the dental work that they need. They specialize in finding simple, convenient, affordable lines of credit to make certain that your family can maintain excellent dental health.

Maybe you just experienced a dental emergency and need to repair a few teeth. Perhaps you have several teeth that need to be replaced. Or you’d like implants. Possibly you have been considering cosmetic dentistry. Or maybe you have not had a checkup or cleaning recently? Perhaps you did have a checkup and found you needed some work, or maybe you have sensitive teeth and gums?

You can usually apply for credit in just a few minutes. If you prefer, you can call the office before your appointment to get your credit line setup.  Or you can submit your application after you are given your treatment plan from Dr. Maddahi. As soon as it is approved, you can begin your treatment.

In most cases, once you have been approved for that line of credit, you may use it for on-going and additional treatment, and for any member of the family. There is usually no need to re-apply. If you are able to pay off the loan early, you may, if and when you would like. There are never any pre-payment penalties with your credit line.

Many of our credit choices will have no down payment or annual fees charged, depending of course on the initial agreement. You will always be given options to choose between several payment plans and you can usually set up low monthly payments. Different lines of credit offer several convenient payment options, so you can get the dental work that you want, when you need it most.

As an example, some providers offer No Interest Plans for three, six, twelve and eighteen months. These charge you no interest when you pay the required minimum monthly payment, as long as you pay off the remaining balance within the agreed-upon period. These are usually the most popular plans. Dr. Maddahi’s office tries to find you plans that have an interest rate that is more competitive than most bankcards, and include a fixed, monthly payment.

Dental credit lines can be ideal for co-payments, deductibles, treatment not covered by insurance, and of course, patients without any dental insurance. Once your credit line is approved you will no longer have to have any stress or worry about how to pay for the dental work your family needs.

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.

What you pay for is what you get when it comes to veneers and cosmetic dentistry, it seems. Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Kourosh Maddahi, assists patients throughout the Los Angeles area. Much of Dr. Maddahi’s caseload involves refurbishing shoddy and improperly made veneers.

Dr. Maddahi is renowned for his expertise and excellence with porcelain veneers. Certain aspects of selecting the dentist to use for veneer work absolutely cannot be disregarded.

When shopping for the best price on porcelain veneers, choosing inexpensive veneer work, or just deciding upon a cosmetic dentist because they are situated nearby or are perhaps your family dentist, can be a potential liability. You really do need an expert veneers dentist.

It can be presumed that all dentists are similar in quality and that some merely choose to charge less for an equal product. Sorry, but this just is not the case. The maxim, “you get what you pay for” is, over and over again, a painfully true adage in dentistry.

Some veneers will easily chip, crack or fracture. Veneers can simply fall off. Often, inferior veneers will change color. Incorrectly veneered teeth can also develop sensitivity to biting or to hot and cold. Veneers that have been inaccurately placed or prepared can cause bleeding or infected gums, leading to pain. Veneers can throw off the bite, also causing pain.

When choosing a dentist for veneers it is important to use the following checklist, provided by Dr. Maddahi, which will assist in the selection of a high quality set of veneers.

Choose:
Top quality materials
Top quality aesthetics
A skilled dental team
Cutting-edge technology
Superior training Comfort
Extensive experience
Confidence
Excellent patient/doctor rapport
Convenience

Avoid:
Low quality veneer materials
Inferior bonding material
Poor quality aesthetics
Substandard training
An inexperienced dental team
Incorrectly prepped teeth
Careless bonding
Discomfort and pain
Discoloration of veneer
Inferior office quality

Additionally, it is another truth in dentistry that the aesthetic eye of the cosmetic dentist is rarely taught, learned or developed. Since a very early age, Dr. Maddahi has had an eye for the aesthetics, and that is why he chose this field. There are hundreds of his cases available to review and thereby witness his rare ability.

One patient explains, “My entire life I was told that I needed braces to correct my unsightly smile. Actually, I had such a drastic aesthetic mess, that I had been told that most likely braces would not even fully correct my smile. In just two appointments with Dr. Maddahi, one for three hours and the other for less than two, I now have a perfectly natural and beautiful smile. Honestly, it’s best that I waited to meet Dr. Maddahi.”

The fact that veneers can look so good can be the most obvious mishap if endeavoring to spend less for a smile reconstruction. Veneers can made to look too fat, too long, too square, too yellow, too white or too opaque.

What should have been a beautiful and natural-looking new smile can be a fresh cause for humiliation.

Therefore, you can see that your choice for a veneer dentist must be very competent and highly qualified, as well as particularly experienced. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Los Angeles porcelain veneer dentist, is thereby the perfect choice. He offers no-charge porcelain veneers consultations at his convenient Beverly Hills dentist office located nearby Pacific Palisades, West LA and West Hollywood.

Cosmetic dentistry is important for health as it focuses not only on the appearance of the teeth, but also the long-term dental health of the patient. When being seen by a highly qualified and reputable cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles, such as Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, whose cosmetic dentist office is located in Beverly Hills, you will most often discover the most modern technology available for use.

With a widely trusted and respected dentist to help you choose the procedures and materials that are best for you, it is possible to completely resolve your dental health issues. While Dr. Maddahi focuses on the appearance of the teeth, because of his extensive background and education in traditional dentistry, the dental health of the patient is foremost in his treatment plan.

Beverly Hills Dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, has explained that many a patient will find that oral health is significant to how they consider their appearance. Their consideration on this can directly affect their sense of well-being. But, he says, “not so many individuals understand the direct corollary between dental health and their daily health.”

Dr. Maddahi continues, “I can help my patients with many techniques today. Porcelain laminate veneers and dental implants are two common options that can create drastic cosmetic changes, and have a great positive impact on a patient’s appearance. There are different circumstances that would indicate the need for one or the other.”

One of the most significant advances in cosmetic dentistry today are porcelain veneers. Veneers are able to correct an extensive selection of dental problems. These include chips, stains, cracked teeth, crookedness and gaps between the teeth, all without long-drawn-out orthodontic care.

Veneers are usually made from porcelain, as porcelain is extremely durable and has color, translucence and texture similar to natural tooth enamel. Veneers are almost instant solutions to dental problems, as they are usually placed in only two visits over a several week period. Porcelain veneers create a straight, perfect smile that is natural and beautiful, in just so little time.

With missing teeth, dental implants are most often the best option. Implants are used as a permanent correction for missing teeth and are literally artificial tooth root replacements. The implant is built using lightweight titanium, a material which has proven to be strong and safe. Titanium bonds remarkably well with bone. Then a porcelain crown can be attached to the artificial root.

The importance of dental health and replacing missing teeth cannot be exaggerated. “When a patient has missing teeth, the jawbone begins to shrink, making the face look older. Dentures sit on top of the gums, and do not stop this shrinkage. Over time dentures become uncomfortable and ill-fitting, as the shape of the patient’s jawbone continues to change,” explains Dr. Maddahi.  “Implant supported replacement teeth are like natural teeth because they are secured to the bone. Patients with dental implants can chew and speak confidently.”

Whether you are considering veneers or implants, or if a different cosmetic procedure is necessary, having a beautiful smile can make you feel better about yourself. Once you are more confidently able to enjoy life, your dental and physical health is improved.

Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, with his dentist office Beverly Hills, uses high-tech equipment and procedures to attain the beautiful and natural-looking smiles that his patients require.

If you ask the Los Angeles cosmetic dentist of Beverly Hills, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, he will most often recommend dental implants as the solution for missing teeth. Because implants are permanently affixed and secure, they make smiling, talking, and eating more enjoyable.

Additionally, implants provide a very natural feel and look. They are just like having the original tooth in place; this is why the use of dental implants instead of bridges and dentures has recently exploded in popularity. They look completely natural, not fake like dentures frequently can. Dental implants are not very likely to loosen, unlike dentures which eventually have to be replaced.

“If you are like millions of Americans who have lost one or more teeth,” explains Dr. Maddahi, “you may be all too familiar with the unpleasant consequences. I tell my patients with missing teeth that they should consider dental implants. For many, missing teeth lead to an unattractive smile, embarrassment from loose dentures, and pain or difficulty with eating. Traditional dentistry can provide replacements for missing teeth using bridges, removable partials and dentures; however, each of these has its problems.”

Partials and dentures can create speech difficulty. They sometimes lead to denture sores. But a more important health issue is in play. There is a problem linked with tooth loss, which is a shrinking of the jawbone – a process known as ‘atrophy’ and that can progress over the years. Bone atrophy can affect jaw function, and has also been found to create unfavorable facial cosmetic changes, and this shows up the need for denture replacement.

The scientific research dental implants are based in began in the 50’s when there was a discovery that metal titanium was able to bond with bone. Therefore, the dental implant consists of titanium cylinders that are anchored into the jawbone supporting completely natural looking porcelain crowns.

With no more a need for dentures and bridges, it is now easier to eat and speak, smiles are greatly improved, and the hassle of dentures and partials is relieved. While dental implants are a more contemporary cosmetic dentistry option than dentures they have survived the test of time, with patients who have had successful implant supported teeth for more than twenty-five years.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi always likes to educate his patients on the subject of the many dental choices available. He thoroughly explains the health importance of his dental implant recommendation. “Missing teeth cause the obvious problems of diminished appearance and self-esteem of a patient. However, it may not be as apparent that missing teeth affect an individual’s general health, as well as the health of remaining teeth. When teeth go unreplaced, surrounding teeth can also be lost. Additional cosmetic dental problems can be caused by tipping or crowding of the teeth adjacent to the missing teeth.”

There is clearly no longer a need for a patient to suffer uncomfortable bridges and dentures. No other option to replace missing teeth has proven to be as as natural in appearance or as successful as dental implants. In many, many cases, dental implants have been found to be the single sensible option in order to completely restore the function of the teeth and jaw.

Los Angeles cosmetic dentist of Beverly Hills, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, reports additionally that most patients have found that the look they achieve with their implants is the most comparable to natural teeth.

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.
