There are various options for a smile makeover. Some may only need teeth whitening. Others might want a few replacement teeth to be matched to the rest of their smile. Others still may opt for extensive transformation. Choices are many, including porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, teeth whitening, cosmetic implants, bridges, recontouring, composite bonding, porcelain inlays, porcelain onlays and dentures.



Dr. Maddahi, is dedicated to creating beautiful, natural smiles. ?I had one patient come in with her gums bleeding, teeth cracked, missing and broken. In four weeks I made her a full mouth reconstruction. She was so elated. She sat there crying, saying ?you've changed my life, you've saved my life.? There's nothing that would replace that kind of acknowledgment from a patient. That's what I live for.?

We have all seen friends or co-workers with a mouth full of dental work where the teeth look unnatural; perhaps too big, too small or just plain wrong. Dr. Maddahi explains his methodology, ?When I look at a patient, I am not just looking at their teeth. I am looking at their whole face, how to make that smile to match their personality, the symmetry of their face.?

An amazing combination of artistry and dentistry has made Dr. Maddahi one of Los Angeles' leading cosmetic dentists. As a vital part of his service, he works closely with each patient; he is very interested in what they want, and listens to their suggestions to discover what they will be most comfortable with.

He employs state-of-the-art digital cosmetic imaging equipment that he and the patient consult with to find the best new smile, one that matches the patient's personality. The split image photograph of the patient's smile is displayed with one half showing the current smile. On the other half is the digital simulation of how the smile with look after work is complete. This permits an instantaneous and informed decision of the cosmetic dentistry to be done.

Dr. Maddahi's office uses additional high-tech equipment including a painless system that uses air instead of metal to drill teeth, used for removal of new decay on a tooth. Digital x-rays dramatically cut down the time the patient is in the dental office. It takes only three seconds for an X-ray image to transmit to the computer screen. Using digital X-rays the dentist has the ability to magnify, colorize, and alter the density of the image. He also uses IntraOral Cameras, which are small pen-shaped cameras that magnify every tooth and gum surface in the mouth.

?I've always enjoyed working with my hands,? Dr. Maddahi explains, ?so dentistry was a natural career choice for me. And I've been focused from the beginning. When I started my formal education, I made a commitment to excellence and I continue that commitment today.?
