A Smile Evaluation is the First Step to a Beautiful new Smile

Studies have shown that a smile can say a lot about us. An American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry sponsored survey asked Americans about the importance of a beautiful smile. They found that 99.7 percent of Americans see a beautiful smile as an important social asset with 74 percent responding that an unattractive smile could negatively impact someone’s chance for success at their career.
Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist, has created and enhanced smiles for almost to 25 years. He has found that transforming a smile often transforms a patient’s confidence and self esteem. The transformation starts with a simple and quick smile evaluation.
“Smile evaluations are a key first step in not only determining what a patient’s dental needs may be, but also in exploring what a patients likes and dislikes about their smile. From there we can create a beautiful smile with a few simple procedures or more extensive dental treatments,” Dr. Maddahi said.
Dr. Maddahi begins a smile evaluation in Los Angeles by examining a patient’s teeth and gums. He looks to see if the teeth are crooked, misshapen, damaged, worn or discolored. When he examines the gums he checks to see if there is any gum recession or if the gum line is too low, creating a gummy smile. He also checks for any gaps between teeth or missing teeth.
Once the smile evaluation is completed Dr. Maddahi explains the dental options available to create a beautiful smile. And, by using Cosmetic Digital Imaging, Dr. Maddahi is able to show patients what their new smiles will look like before a procedure is even started. Some patients choose porcelain veneers to address chipped, crooked or misshapen teeth, while others select dental implants to replace missing teeth or teeth whitening to brighten discolored teeth.
