The concept of going to the dentist without any bit of stress or pain is what many might assume to be a ?pipe-dream?. Of course, some would consider, if you use the ?sleep dentist?, THEN there will be no pain or stress. But NOT REALLY. How can not knowing what happened for several hours of your life be considered stress-free?

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills dentist, presents truly stress-free dentistry. Combining his true care with spa-dentistry, using gentle dentist techniques and the newest high-tech equipment results in a new dental experience for all.

Just entering the office you will notice a difference. The atmosphere is calming. The decorations are aesthetic, actually resembling an art gallery! The welcoming from the staff, the care taken to provide your every need is just the beginning.

Dr. Maddahi only treats one patient at a time. There will be no waiting in the chair while he hops back and forth between patients. When he first meets with you, you will be given an opportunity to express your needs, voice any concerns and to thoroughly discuss your treatment options with Dr. Maddahi.

Once the treatment begins, you are only going to be treated with the newest high-tech equipment and solutions available. Dr. Maddahi explains, ?The x-ray procedure is simplified and tempered with the use of digital x-ray equipment. There's no long wait for them to be developed as it takes only a few seconds for the image to appear on the computer screen. Mini-cameras that go into the mouth that show both dental problems and progress are used, as well.?

?I have found every new tool that is available to me and implemented them into my practice.?, he explains ?I want my patients to have a completely trauma-free visit when they are here. This new approach to dentistry is completely changing this field.?

One of these new tools offers a new way to anesthetize the mouth for dental work. The Citoject is a pen shaped device that will numb only the tooth, not the cheek, tongue, face or lips, which makes such injections effectively painless. Dr. Maddahi further explains, "What causes the pain of an injection is not the needle but the rate of delivery of the anesthetic. Before the Citoject, using conventional methods, few dentists would be painless. However with the Citoject a micro-compressor controls the rate of the injection so the patient feels only a slight pressure and no pain. I try very hard to put the patient's comfort first. I have used the Citoject since it first became available to us."

When there's new decay, often drill-free dentistry can be utilized. It is air-abrasion, like a mini sandblaster aimed to take the decay out of the tooth with a fine aluminum oxide (baking soda) powder. Dr. Maddahi says, ?Drill-free air abrasion dentistry is every patient's dream. No whining drills, no burning smell (the teeth never get hot), no vibration, and no anesthetic required. It's almost no dentistry!?

Laser dentistry is another technological advancement in dentistry and very effective for reduction of stress and pain. It can be used for soft tissue surgery, curing and sterilizing without the need of anesthesia or with only a topical anesthetic to get started.

Hygienists routinely use the laser to kill bacterial caused periodontal disease for up to 60 days. Dr. Maddahi explains, ?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.?

With the combination of spa-dentistry, the newest available tools and procedures as well as gentle dental techniques, truly pain-free and stress-free dentistry is now available in the Beverly Hills dentist office of Dr. Kourosh Maddahi.
