When my smile was not looking as nice as I wanted it to, my first call is to the office of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a leading Cosmetic Dentist in Beverly Hills. A few months ago, I scheduled some time to meet Dr. Maddahi and talk about some of my dental concerns. While my teeth are healthy, they didn’t look their best. A gap between my front teeth and a small chip on a front tooth always bothered me. As an avid coffee drinker, my teeth also had become a little yellowed and dingy looking. I felt these dental problems were the first things people noticed about me when I smiled. Dr. Maddahi explained that my smile would be reunion ready in just a few hours with some simple, quick and gentle dental procedures. My personal Beverly Hills smile makeover included dental bonding, re-contouring and teeth whitening. As I sat in the exam chair, Dr. Maddahi assured me that the gap and chip could be addressed quickly and painlessly with a dental bonding procedure. In less than 30 minutes, he used a tooth-colored dental resin to bond the space between my teeth and fill in the small chipped area on one of my front teeth. Dr. Maddahi noticed that some of my teeth were slightly longer than others. He recommended dental re-contouring - a simple and quick procedure - to even out my smile. According to Dr. Maddahi, “Many patients don’t realize that they can improve their smiles with only a few millimeters of change.” Ten minutes later my smile was more even and symmetric. Both procedures were done quickly and painlessly using the latest in dental technology and with no need for dental anesthetic. My next procedure was teeth whitening to address stains caused by my love of coffee. However, foods and liquids like colas, berries, teas, tomato and soy sauces cause staining as well. While I am not a smoker, Dr. Maddahi told me that cigarettes and cigars also leave yellowish stains on the teeth. Dr. Maddahi offers the latest in teeth whitening with the Zoom 2 Advanced Power Plus Chairside procedure. This whitening method combines a specially formulated hydrogen peroxide gel with a specialized light for faster whitening. Depending on the patient’s teeth, two to three fifteen-minute treatments are completed. The great part of the procedure is that while my teeth were being whitening I could relax and watch a movie or listen to music. My Beverly Hills smile makeover only took a few hours to complete and gave me a reunion-ready smile that made me look and feel younger. Plus, I couldn’t stop smiling.
