Secrets of a Shining Hollywood Smile

In a town of beautiful people like Los Angeles and Hollywood, it’s hard not to look around you and wish for a more illuminating appearance. You don’t even have to flip through beauty magazines in this town that worships youth and beauty. It’s all around you at the table next to you at lunch, at the grocery store, at gym, in yoga class or on the beach.

Before you start down the road to the fountain of youth to take a drink, or a plastic surgeon for a little nip and tuck, you may find that a trip to the dentist could shave 10 years off your appearance. Although, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi is the famous cosmetic dentist to the Hollywood stars, he also loves sharing the secrets of shining Hollywood smiles with his thousands of happy patients not on the silver screen.

First Dr. Maddahi recommends teeth whitening with the latest technology called Zoom!, a professional chair-side teeth whitening system, at his dental spa. Yes, I said dental spa, and that is the atmosphere you will indulge in when entering this calming, soothing, dental spa for the stars where you will feel like a star, royalty or both. You can shed years off of your age with teeth whitening to clean the stains collected over the years caused by coffee, red wine, tomato based foods, soda and berry pie.

But let’s say you want to take it a step further and really get one of the Angela Jolie or Brad Pitt smiles. You can achieve a bright white Hollywood start smile with porcelain veneers that require a bit more time and investment but lasts a lifetime. So stretch the costs to shave off a couple decades over the next couple of decades and poof you’ll have a magical Hollywood smile. Here’s how it works. In two visits, Dr. Maddahi, an expert in porcelain veneers in Beverly Hills, places a a thin shell of porcelain about the thickness of a fingernail that will bond to the tooth permanently, usually covering the front and the top of the tooth.  Porcelain is actually harder than the original enamel of your teeth and resists staining better. He can literally transform a misaligned, dingy and or missing teeth smile into a Hollywood smile you’ll be proud of.
