At the Beverly Hills dentist office of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, the highest priority is to always provide patients with the utmost level of care keeping them comfortable, safe and contented with the dental services. The advancement of laser dentistry has allowed them to fully serve their patients with these priorities each and every day. Lasers have virtually revolutionized many areas of dentistry, not only in making some procedures entirely or nearly pain free, but also in simplifying common procedure by reducing recovery time and time spent in the office. Procedures that may have been intolerable to some, previously, are now entirely reasonable.



Laser dentist, Dr. Maddahi explains how a laser works, ?A laser is a device that produces a very fine, intense beam of light that renders energy. When a laser comes in contact with tissue, it causes a reaction that can remove, vaporize or shape tissue, depending on what kind of laser being used. Because the laser beam is so narrow, it allows for a precision that is just not capable with other surgical tools.?

There are a variety of ways they have incorporated dental laser techniques into their practice with increased benefit to the patients. In the treatment of periodontal disease, dental lasers are used to zap the infected gums, reduce inflammation and keep the area free from returning bacteria for up to 60 days ? and it reduces the discomfort of this treatment significantly. Vaporized and infected tissue then grows back bacteria free, and with proper patient home care, periodontal disease can be nipped in the bud.

During the smile makeover process, it is sometimes beneficial to reshape the gum line in creating the optimal look. The use of lasers in this surgery has been purely divine. Not only is the process nearly, or entirely, pain free, but also the laser closes off blood vessels and sterilizes the gums instantly, eliminating bleeding and greatly reducing swelling and recovery time. The need for anesthesia is greatly reduced in many instances and the results are stunning.

Of course, the use of lasers in tooth whitening has been just as revolutionary. The speed and effectiveness of modern whitening techniques has been increased dramatically. Patients are not only happier with the results, but the time it shaves off the process makes teeth whitening that much more feasible to time-crunched individuals.

By using the least invasive procedures and procedures that are more effective, the benefit to our patients is huge. Less pain, less trauma, less time to heal ? everybody wins!?
