Complete Smile Makeover in Just a Few Office Visits?


Who ever thought that running a race would be compared to cosmetic dentistry? Dr. Maddahi learned his speed drill while filming for television. What came of this experience was speed and perfection. Imagine being filmed by a television crew who only have a day or two to film, and who is being paid to only be in the office for a few hours. You have to get your work done in the time allotted and it better be perfect!

The Beverly Hills office of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi is a full service dental office. Specializing in a complete smile makeover, he offers porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, teeth whitening, plus a full gamut of all other dental services.

Consider instant orthodontics. This term aptly describes when veneers are artistically applied to crooked, uneven, misshapen and badly formed teeth. Instant orthodontics eliminates years of uncomfortable braces. This is where Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist Kourosh Maddahi has earned his top reputation and created a renaissance in modern cosmetic dentistry. Instant orthodontics involves the use of the most sophisticated equipment, some of which only 200 dentists in the world have.

"What makes us different is we were faced with learning how to do these procedures in short periods of time and without mistakes." Dr. Maddahi said. "The cameras were on and filming and I just had to be very fast and very good. We can do a two week full mouth reconstruction. Creating beautiful, natural smiles is what I like to do. I make sure that I am always researching the cutting-edge technology of dentistry and offering that to my patients"

The use of digital x-rays greatly shorten the time it takes to get the work done. Three seconds after as the camera is clicked, the X-ray image transfers to the computer. Using digital X-rays the dentist has the ability to magnify, colorize, and alter the density of the image. IntraOral Cameras are small cameras in the shape of a pen that the dentist uses so a patient can see on a computer screen with crystal clarity every tooth and gum surface in his or her mouth as the camera is moved from structure to structure. It is an important diagnostic tool for the doctor and gives the patient the same view of what the cosmetic dentist is viewing. Digital Cosmetic Imaging shows each patient a computerized split image photograph of his or her smile. On the top one half of the screen is their current smile and on the bottom is a digital simulation of their smile after the cosmetic dentistry has been performed, allowing an immediate decision on work to be done.

"The appearance of their mouth and smile can be altered to fit what would be pleasing to them." Dr. Maddahi continues. "This is made possible with porcelain and composite tooth colored materials perfectly designed to intimately match their tooth structure. With cosmetic imaging the patient can see the future of their smile before they begin."
