Cosmetic dental care is no longer something that is done only when vital or necessary, actually it is becoming socially expected when people are at the top of their field. There are still some people who are concerned by or actually afraid of cosmetic dental work. Wondering what the procedure can do is a valid concern.

Digital Cosmetic Imaging, which shows the doctor and patient a computerized split image photograph of his or her smile, addresses any wondering and guesswork. Dr. Maddahi uses this imaging system to help him and his patients determine the procedure that will provide the best results for that patient. The left side of the screen displays the current smile and on the right side is a digital simulation of what their smile will look like after cosmetic dentistry.

Another new advancement used in Dr. Maddahi's office is the Digital Bite Recorder. This computerized bite sensor indicates to the dentist exactly which tooth hits first and the amount of pressure being exerted, using digital technology. This instrument is used for multiple crown cases and bite adjustment. There is never any need for multiple adjustments. It provides the data for a stable bite the first time, every time.

Whereas dark blue ?articulation paper? or waxes only reduce the procedure to guesswork, this recording device uses 1370 cell sensors on the bite recording surface. This recording is then replayed on the computer screen to show the exact sequence of the bite. The dentist can then carefully make adjustments needed. With the accuracy of this high-tech device, the dentist has an exact tool to create a stable bite without the patient having to return to the office for future corrections.

The advent of laser dentistry has afforded the dentist a myriad of applications of the laser. It can be used for soft tissue surgery, curing, and sterilizing with the benefit of no anesthetic needed or only a light topical anesthetic to begin. It is used in Dr. Maddahi's office by the hygienists to kill bacterial-caused periodontal disease. The benefit to the patient is that it is more effective and less traumatic than conventional methods because it uses the power of light to vaporize soft tissue without bleeding. The precision of laser dentistry helps the patient heal with the least post-operative pain.

The breadth of high-tech instruments is amazing. The bite recorder and imaging system are cutting-edge technology at their best. These high-tech advancements in dentistry are simplifying the work and have created a new field in cosmetic dentistry.
