The Power in Gentle Dentistry

Posted on by | Leave a Comment

Many of the advancements in dentistry and technology today mean that gentle dentistry is now a reachable reality rather than just an intangible goal. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, an expert cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills, has built his entire practice around this philosophy of gentle and calming dentistry. It’s almost an oxymoron to some folks.

As it is, laser technology has remarkably shifted the care of gums and teeth by first of all shrinking the time spent in recovery after dental visit but also reduced your time sitting in the treatment room chair with your mouth agape. Dental lasers give off a narrow, intense beam of light that applies energy to shape, vaporize or remove tissue. This laser precision allows Dr. Maddahi, leading cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills, to replace metal dental tools that often times feel barbaric with nimble, quiet, quick, no-touch lasers that don’t even require anesthetic. Dr. Maddahi uses a high-tech cool laser for recontouring gums, drilling cavities, treating periodontal disease and more. This means the elimination of vibration and heat of a drill, soft-tissue procedures can be completed with a much less swelling, bleeding and post-op pain.

Dr. Maddahi, a Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, is now able to minimize or vaporize periodontal disease simply by applying these lasers to the infected areas and killing off bacteria, therefore reducing inflammation in a snap.  Later, the gum tissue will grow back without the bacteria. Similarly when you think about smile transformations, Dr. Maddahi is able to reshape the gums lining your teeth with laser-like precision. You don’t have to suffer from swelled gums or bleeding in the aftermath. The procedure is pain-free. Lasers have also been used to quicken teeth whitening. Ultimately, lasers and Dr. Maddahi’s philosophy toward gentle dentistry has enabled him to provide his patients with pain-free, comfortable, quick dental care while reducing healing time. Most of his patients, sit up from the chair, saying, “that’s it, you’re already finished, I didn’t even feel a thing.” Dr. Maddahi smiles and says, “Yes, you’re all done.”

Reconstructing Your Smile

Many of you may remember the frightening first sight of your grandparents’ dentures soaking in a glass full of fizzy water on the bathroom sink. And since that day, you may have dreaded the idea of losing your teeth and getting old. Fortunately, with the magic of technology and surprisingly man’s adventures into space, we now have the capabilities to provide new teeth that don’t have to be removed and cleaned in a cup.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, an expert in reconstructive dentistry in Beverly Hills, utilizes computers with digital technology and imaging, the latest laser technology and titanium to give you a proud smile instead of a closed mouth, embarrassed one.

Missing teeth are the sign of aging, but no longer have to be a give away. Dr. Maddahi, a dental implant specialist in Beverly Hills, can restore your mouth with dental implants that function like your natural teeth to eat and smile without pain. The dental implants are constructed out of a smart metal called titanium that fuses naturally into the bone. This bionic bond lasts a lifetime. What sets Dr. Maddahi, a leading cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills, apart from most other dentists is a combination of superior expertise and cutting edge technology. He uses a special stain to detect tooth decay, lasers to disinfect the area, special sealers to prevent further bacterial invasion, a digital bite recorder to map bite adjustments, and the safest, pain-free materials and procedures.

Dispelling Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety may be another silent factor in the study showing that a quarter of children in California have never visited a dentist. One of my greatest fears as a child was going to the dentist. I remember sitting in the waiting room hearing the screaming kids, the sound of the screeching dental drill and feeling tense. When my name was called, tears welled in my little eyes. By the time the dentist entered the exam room, I cried in terror until my embarrassed mother carried me out.

At that point, she could have easily nixed professional dental care. Some parents might have but instead she found a highly recommended dentist with video games and toys in the waiting room, Disney movies playing in the treatment rooms and Sony Walkman headphones on the dentist chairs. Needless to say, we carry those dental anxieties into our adulthood. Anytime, I see a new dentist that anxiety rushes back and my past pain experiences do too. I’ve walked out of many dentist offices, but there is hope.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, the best dentist in Beverly Hills, has a magical way of making those anxieties disappear the moment you enter what I like to call his Dental Spa. The place feels like the inside of a Day Spa. In the waiting room, you can sit for a relaxing cup of tea, listen to calming Zen-like music and browse the peaceful space that resembles an art gallery.

Patients say they feel pampered when they sit down in the treatment room with Dr. Maddahi. You can receive a massage to calm your nerves. That screeching drill that scared me in the past, no longer exists in Dr. Maddahi’s dental spa because he uses a quiet laser drill that does not require anesthesia. It takes 10 minutes to have a cavity filled, and you don’t go home feeling like you have a fat lip. Dr. Maddahi, a leading cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills, uses the latest technology to take care of your teeth and mouth in a gentle manner. His entire philosophy and dental practice is focused on not only transforming your past experiences with bad dentists but also transforming the care you receive to give you limitless possibilities to achieve the smile you have always dreamed of. Dr. Maddahi has found that with his philosophy of gentle care utilizing the latest technology in cosmetic dentistry, his patients heal quicker and happier.
