Does the term cosmetic dentist conjure up images of people who encourage people to have unnaturally perfect and stark white teeth? Would you say Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist work might mean fake looking smiles, to you? Perhaps going to a Los Angeles cosmetic dentist sounds like vanity or a refusal to take things as they are.

While there are and have been individuals who, though well meaning, might well transform a person's mouth into something crass and artificial, to minimize cosmetic dentistry solely on those results would be, actually, to miss the boat on what a real cosmetic dentist does.

As a role model, take Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist. This dentist's philosophy could be summed up as total aesthetic care.

Society today may be more convenient and technologically advanced but it's still a society composed of people before anything else. It may be clich? but it still holds true that people are unique. And so are their teeth, their gums, their smiles. As a person uses their smile, to communicate, to indicate approval or friendship it is a very important part of life.

It is a fact of life in a technologically advanced society that the condition of one's possessions, of one's body and of one's teeth is a social benchmark. In a subtle or dramatic way, how these things appear to another communicates well-being, state of health, trustworthiness and many other factors, whether professionally or personally.

For an individual not blessed with perfect teeth at birth, that being most people, this presents a problem. So too, for an individual who may have stained or discolored teeth as a result of medication, coffee, cigarettes, wine etc. Add to this those individuals who may have lost teeth or suffered damage to them. Here are some of the persons for whom the cosmetic dentist may well transform a life.

Dr. Maddahi's approach is flexible and individualized. As anyone who comes to his Beverly Hills practice has their own reasons for doing so, this dentist works to address those needs. He does so in a manner that parallels those needs using years of experience, training, and most importantly an artistic eye which brings to bear on a solution that is right for that person. After all, not everyone wants a thousand watt smile. But some do.

So the accent is on a natural, beautiful smile. Perhaps the ultimate in cosmetic dentistry is dental work that no-one notices as ?work?. This would characterize the work of Dr. Maddahi very adequately. The work is completed and all anyone else can say is how much better the person looks or how much healthier or happier, whether the person commenting can say why or not.

Of course, in those cases where an individual has been quite literally hiding their teeth for years due to malformation, crookedness, gaps or other troubles, the dental work may be obvious, but will be perceived as an extremely effective enhancement. For many it really is a case of the ugly duckling becoming the beautiful swan.

Dr. Maddahi's care proceeds from being able to envision how that person can truly look, showing that person that result with the aid of digital technology and much more, ensuring that it's really what that person wants, and faithfully, as well as artfully, bringing that result into being.
