New advances in dental technology have made a trip to the dentist office easier than ever before.

It is the cause of countless missed and rescheduled appointments. However, a missed cleaning and dental checkup can lead to serious dental problems like root canals, tooth decay and lost teeth. New advances in dental technology have made a trip to the dentist office easier than ever before. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a Cosmetic Dentist in Los Angeles, practices gentle dentistry at his Beverly Hills office using dental tools that cause little or no pain and in many cases eliminate the need for dental anesthesia. High-tech dental tools like the DIAGNOdent laser system allow Dr. Maddahi and his team to identify dental issues long before they are detectable on traditional dental x-rays. The examination tool uses laser light to painlessly identify any small dental caries that may be present.  This micro-dentistry approach continues if additional treatments are needed. Dr. Maddahi recently added the Waterlase MD Turbo™ to his office. The cool, dental laser can treat cavities, periodontal disease and other dental issues. In many cases, cavities can be drilled and filled without the need for anesthesia. The laser technology also eliminates tissue vibration and the heat typically generated by a traditional dental drill. This allows soft-tissue treatments to be completed with less bleeding and swelling, resulting in less overall post-op pain.  Click here to see a video segment on the Waterlase system featuring Dr. Maddahi. If anesthesia is needed, Dr. Maddahi uses the Citoject. This pen-shaped injection device employs a micro-compressor, which precisely controls the administration of anesthesia and numbs only the affected tooth, not the surrounding tissue, lips, face or tongue. The patient feels no pain only a small amount of pressure as the anesthesia is being injected. Los Angeles gentle dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, has utilized the latest dental technology to treat and create beautiful, natural smiles for close to 25 years at his Beverly Hills office, located at 436 N. Roxbury Drive, Suite 202. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary dental evaluation; we can be reached by email or at 310-888-7797.
