People are living day to day worried about deteriorating teeth with painful, bleeding gums, perhaps embarrassed to smile and simply afraid of going to the dentist. There's a new manner of dentistry that is actually changing the whole feel and sentiment of going to the dentist.

Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Kourosh Maddahi, strives to provide gentle, pain-free dental care. First, making sure that each of his patients is comfortable, their needs are understood and that they will receive the best treatment possible, using his state-of-the-art tools. Dr. Maddahi schedules one patient at a time, so that he can give the highest quality of care individually to each patient.

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, it takes only a few seconds for the image to appear on the computer screen. Mini-cameras that go into the mouth show 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." said Dr. Maddahi, "I want my patients to have the a completely trauma-free visit when they are here. This new approach to dentistry is completely changing this field."

There's also a new way to anesthetize the mouth for dental work. A Citoject is a pen shaped devise that works to numb only the tooth, not the tongue, cheek, face and lips, making anesthetic injections essentially painless. He 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 patients feel only a slight pressure, 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 which 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 the latest technological advancement in dentistry. It is used for soft tissue surgery, curing, and sterilizing with the benefit of no anesthetic needed or just 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."

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, has been specializing in creating beautiful, natural smiles for 20 years and is located in Beverly Hills at 436 N. Roxbury Drive, Suite 202 and can be reached at 310-888-7797.
