With cosmetic dentistry becoming more and more popular, many people have questions on how to choose the best dentist and what procedures are best for quick dental fixes. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, recommends starting by finding a dentist whose skill matches your specific dental needs and then having a thorough evaluation. Before choosing a dentist, review their credentials and the types of continuing education they have taken. Be sure the dentist is using the latest techniques and dental tools. Also, check your state’s dental board to verify that his or her license is in good standing, often this can be done very quickly online. While Dr. Maddahi does numerous cosmetic dental procedures, he also stresses the need for regular teeth cleaning and check-ups as the basis for a healthy smile. “Teething whitening has become a very common procedure and I am often asked what causes teeth to become stained and discolored. Patients who drink coffee, red wine and even green tea can have stained teeth. Smoking can also cause staining. Aging and certain chemicals also can cause discoloration,” Dr. Maddahi explains. “With a simple in-office teeth whitening procedure, a patient can brighten their smile quickly, in just a few hours. And, for many of our patients, a beautiful smile starts when they have their smile whitened,” Dr. Maddahi explains. Many patients consult a cosmetic dentist to see what can be done to fix chipped or damaged teeth. For some, cosmetic re-contouring or bonding many be good options. During a re-contouring procedure, a jagged tooth is reshaped for a more natural look. A composite resin is be used to repair a chipped or damaged tooth during a bonding procedure. Bonding can also be done to change the shape and color of the tooth as well as close spaces between teeth.

Dr. Maddahi Raises the Standards of Dental Care with Laser Dentistry in Beverly Hills
As one of Beverly Hills’ premier cosmetic dentists, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi is committed to offering his patients the highest standards in dental care and patient care. “My goal has always been to offer my patients the best results as quickly as possible with minimal or no pain. So I am constantly searching for state-of-the-art dental technology to add to my practice including the new Waterlase MD Turbo cool laser,” said Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist. The Waterlase MD Turbo is a cool laser used for dental procedures. This new technology allows Dr. Maddahi to complete procedures with speeds comparable to a traditional, high-speed dental drill without causing the burning of a traditional laser. The Waterlase combines laser technology with a cool stream of water allowing for drilling and cutting with no smell, no noise, no vibration and little or no pain. Many patients find that they can have their cavities filled without the need for anesthetics. This laser dental technology can be used for procedures like cavities and gum re-contouring as well as to treat periodontal diseases. During a re-contouring procedure, the laser is used to address a “too gummy” smile by removing the extra gum and reshaping the gum line. The laser treatments are especially beneficial for patients with periodontal diseases and issues. The laser is used to reduce gum inflammation and infections, all with very little pain. Plus, the treatment areas remain free from bacteria for up to 30 days. With more than 22 years of experience, Dr. Maddahi uses his combination of skill and state-of-the-art technology to treat his patients and create, beautiful smiles.
