There are many people who dread going to the dentist. The combination of archaic dental procedures, and practitioners and assistants locked into doing something that has become ?just a job? for them, can result in a very traumatic experience. The chances of someone wanting to return to the dentist after that kind of an experience is about as likely as choosing to get poked in the eye: Just about zero! Fortunately, there is a different kind of dental experience waiting for you at the Beverly Hills office of cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi.

Walking into the reception area you are presented with the first sense you will get that this is indeed different from other dentist offices. His staff are truly glad to see you. You are greeted with warm smiles and friendly words, the office feels more like going to a spa than going to the dentist. You quickly realize that your total comfort, safety and satisfaction is everyone's number one concern. Even before seeing the dentist you know it will be different here.

With all the advances in dental technology, having a patient experience pain during routine or advanced procedures is absolutely unnecessary. ?Our goal when taking care of our patients is to give them a completely good feeling about dental work,? explains Dr. Maddahi. ?We have techniques and equipment now that help to eliminate painful and uncomfortable dental experiences.?

?To start with,? Dr Maddahi continues, ?We've upgraded the equipment for drilling out decay and like procedures. We use Air Abrasion, which blasts tiny particles within a stream of water, and is not only, nearly painless, but is more precise than conventional drills. This also usually eliminates the use of pain-blocking medications such as Novocain.?

The delivery of anesthesia, when needed, has also changed significantly. Dr. Maddahi uses a new innovative device to administer pain-blocking medications. It looks similar to a pen, and ensures just the right amount is administered. The mechanism monitors the pressure and amount that is delivered so as to not exceed a patient's threshold of pain. The Citoject is a pen-shaped device that works to numb only the tooth, not the tongue, cheek, face and lips, making anesthetic injections essentially painless.

One patient describes her experience, ?Prior to my visit to Dr. Maddahi's cosmetic dentist office in Beverly Hills I hated the thought of going to the dentist. I honestly had the idea that all dentists must have had an evil-streak in them ? just to become a dentist. Dr. Maddahi did a lot of work on me. He replaced my six front teeth with veneers and his staff whitened my teeth. The entire time that I was in that office I was without stress and without pain and discomfort. It was unlike any other dental treatment I have ever experienced.?
