Bringing his patients new beautiful smiles, Beverly Hills implant dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, uses state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry in the administration of dental implants, offering the ultimate in top quality dentistry.
Where teeth are missing or severely damaged, Beverly Hills Dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, recommends dental implants over dentures or bridges as the permanent solution to missing teeth. In this procedure small posts are surgically installed to serve as artificial “roots”. Upon these implants new artificial crowns can be permanently mounted.
Any replacement teeth are carefully crafted and created to complement and match existing teeth exactly. These dental implants afford a freedom in eating, talking and smiling that makes them a very attractive option.
Dr. Maddahi fully educates his patients with their choices and his basis for recommendation, saying, “Missing teeth cause the obvious problems of diminished appearance as well as self-esteem for a patient. However, it may not be as apparent that missing teeth also affect an individual’s general health, as well as the health of remaining teeth. When teeth go unreplaced, surrounding teeth can also be lost. Additional problems can be caused by tipping or crowding of the teeth adjacent to the missing teeth.”
Partial or full dentures and bridges can be used to replace missing teeth, however there has been longstanding trouble associated with them. Dr. Maddahi explains, “Dentures can be unstable, and often leave a patient with painful sores caused by rubbing against the soft tissues in the mouth. Some people even have speech difficulties when using such devices.”
Dentures do not offer an effective resolution to the shrinking of the jawbone – atrophy – frequently a consequence of missing teeth. Cosmetic facial changes can be caused by atrophy, the function of the jaw can also be negatively affected by the missing teeth, a factor that implants resolve.
Additionally patients and their dentists report that the look achieved with implants has been found to be most comparable to natural teeth.
“Dental Implants are permanent. They are completely stable, providing a more natural look, feel and function,” says Dr. Maddahi. “Many of my patients are most relieved by the natural function of the dental implant. Freedom to eat what they want, speak freely without the embarrassment of missing teeth, or slipping dentures, and the ability to smile with confidence, brings them such pleasure.
I most often recommend dental implants to any patient with missing teeth.”
An implant is made of a titanium cylinder anchored into the jawbone. Implants work based on the discovery that titanium can successfully infuse into bone, forming a functional and structural bond between the living bone and the replacement tooth. Dental implants are one of the most modern dental options, and there are cases of patients who have had successful implant supported teeth for over twenty-five years.
Refinements of the dental implant procedure have occurred over the years, during which dental implants have been improved again and again, achieving very high success rates. There is simply no longer the need for a patient to endure uncomfortable dentures and bridges.
Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills implant dentist, provides step-by-step supervision of the entire implant procedure, ensuring the highest quality result.Because the implants that support the replacement teeth are integrated with the bone of the jaw, they are extremely stable and strong, allowing a patient to eat, smile and talk as if they had still had their own teeth.
