[H146]Health And Vital Statistics

When it comes to life improvement, no one knows and demonstrates the importance of dentistry better than Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills dentist. Employing state-of-the-art dental technology and administering dentistry at a level that is accomplished, outstanding and aesthetic, Dr. Maddahi also stresses the importance of oral health.

Dentistry embraces the care, maintenance and repair of the mouth ? specifically the bone structure that supports the teeth, gums and the teeth themselves. A skilled cosmetic dentist can produce miracles in this arena, transforming discolored, malformed or damaged teeth into an attractive, well-proportioned and functional condition.

Properly positioned teeth enable comfortable eating. Teeth without gaps, properly aligned, reduce the risk of gum disease and lend an attractive aspect to the mouth. Tooth color conveys health and wellbeing, the lack of which can inadvertently prejudice or bias others.

Dr. Maddahi administers his practice in a relaxed, stress-free environment. For many, a trip to the dentist connotes pain or minimally unpleasant discomfort at the hands of an indifferent practitioner. Understanding this, Dr. Maddahi answers his patient's questions and through highly personal consultation can make an informed and knowledgeable recommendation of the optimum course of dental care.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the mouth is Dr. Maddahi's canvas and his palette is an impressive and powerful array of cosmetic dentistry technology. Computer aided imaging and sensing allows comprehensive examination of teeth, bite and any periodontal problem. Further assistance comes in the form of extremely accurate color matching, Shade Vision. Dr. Maddahi goes to great lengths to ensure that the patient knows what their teeth will look like, so that each step of the way is comfortable and safe for that individual.

In some cases dental implants will enable a restructuring or replacement of missing or damaged teeth. Unlike removable bridges or dentures, dental implants become part of the mouth and are a stable and secure base for custom made new teeth. Often with bridgework and dentures, a patient can be found to have bone loss and gum recession. Because implants actually integrate into the structure of your bone, this can be prevented. Also, the teeth on either side are not used as an anchor for a bridge so these teeth remain unaffected.

Dr. Maddahi follows a biocompatible approach to dentistry, and the materials he uses are non-toxic and are designed to blend with existing teeth, so that his work appears as natural as the teeth he may have to replace. Rebuilding of teeth or replacement of old, toxic, mercury fillings appears similarly natural.

Similarly, porcelain veneers are applied to existing teeth allowing reshaping, re-contouring and color correction. The form of existing teeth can be artfully altered by the careful use of veneers - filling gaps, adjusting height and position and creating symmetry or form that is pleasing to the eye as much as can be created a perfect bite or stress-free jaw position. The application of veneers is virtually pain-free, and any needed anesthetic is administered through a highly localized slow-feed system. Veneers are carefully matched in shade and color to the teeth and when properly applied look natural and will last for many years.

Probably the least invasive dental practice is tooth whitening ? this is a necessary and rapidly administered action, that quickly reverts the effects of food, liquids and medication staining the teeth.

Beverly Hills Dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, emphasises that many people find their oral health to be important as to how they feel about their appearance and that it affects their sense of well-being. But not so many individuals understand the direct corollary between dental health and their daily health. Dentistry today as exemplified by Dr. Maddahi is a vital science.
