The American Dental Association offers some welcome advice for choosing a cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles. We have already talked about how word of mouth is an important factor in how many people find a dentist. Here are some things you should look for in an a Los Angeles cosmetic dentist:
Location is always a factor when choosing a cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles. If you live in the Los Angeles, California area there are many options and most locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Los Angeles cosmetic dentist.
Relationship is a strong factor. Your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Los Angeles dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of dental hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist and the dental office staff.
Specialty is another important factor in choosing a cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles. A popular service cosmetic dentists specialize in is teeth whitening. Cosmetic dentists also specialize in invisalign, porcelain veneers, and dental implants. Depending on your need, make sure to select a local Los Angeles cosmetic dentist who can solve your concerns.
If you are looking for a cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas, and will be happy to introduce you to Century City Aesthetic Dentistry.
I look forward to meeting you.

Will your California dental insurance cover Los Angeles cosmetic dental procedures? Many Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and Los Angeles dentistry clients assume their dental insurance won’t cover any cosmetic dental procedures. This is probably true for tooth whitening or some other cosmetic dentistry treatments. However, many California dental insurance plans and dental supplemental plans cover orthodontia and any treatment needed to repair damage from an injury. Medical insurance and worker’s compensation plans may also cover injury treatment.
Some dental insurance plans cover replacement porcelain veneers in certain circumstances. Check with your carrier for benefit specifics if you need replacement veneers due to deterioration. We can then discuss dental treatment options such as replacement veneers or porcelain crowns. When the work is completed, we may be able to help you submit your dental claim form if your plan requires one.
If you are in need of any kind of dental treatment; from a cleaning to major restorative work, come in to Century City Aesthetic Dentistry on 2080 Century Park East, Suite 1601 in Los Angeles. You can meet our professional team, undergo a thorough evaluation and discuss financing options. Even if you do not have California dental insurance, let’s talk. Top quality Los Angeles dental treatment is a wise investment and may be more affordable than you think.

When is the last time you had a dental checkup? Most people in the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills area between the ages of 20 and 90 need a dental checkup every six months. If you live in Los Angeles or Beverly Hills and are at higher risk for oral diseases, you should have your teeth checked every four months, or at least three times a year. Dental health is the foundation for a beautiful smile that will last.
Come into our office, located at 2080 Century Park East, Suite 1601 in Los Angeles, or give us a call to make a dental appointment. You can visit our website at http://www.billdorfmandds.com/ for more information.
Most people in our Los Angeles and Beverly Hills community are in a medium to low risk category. However if you use tobacco or alcohol, eat a lot of sugar in your diet (including lots of soda), or have poor dental hygiene habits, you are likely in a higher risk category and should have your teeth checked right away.
I look at a lot of factors to determine your personal dental hygiene, and your dental outlook for your future. I want you to have the healthiest smile possible so that you can enjoy your teeth for many years without significant problems. If you live in the Los Angeles or Beverly Hills area and are ready to have your teeth checked, please give Century City Aesthetic Dentistry a call.

There is a tooth connection that links osteoporosis and oral health. If you are a woman, you have probably heard about the high rate of osteoporosis in America, including Los Angeles. The state of California is no exception. Osteoporosis can often progress without any outward symptoms. However, there may be clues in a person’s mouth that indicate compromised bones in the rest of the body.
The following dental and periodontal issues could indicate the presence of osteoporosis:
- Gum detachment
- Ill-fitting dentures
- Jaw bone recession and erosion
- Difficulty with ordinary mouth function such as eating or speaking
The experienced dentists at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry are trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the dental health problems sometimes associated with osteoporosis. Schedule a consultation in Los Angeles by calling (877) 331-9291 and we can discuss your dental concerns. While you are here, we can also tell you about the cosmetic dental services we provide. Cosmetic dentistry continues to improve smiles for our friends and neighbors in the Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Century City, and Los Angeles area.
If you suspect you may be suffering from osteoporosis, please see your physician right away. While your dentist can help identify some of the symptoms associated with osteoporosis, you should not rely on your dentist to provide a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Looking for a cosmetic dentist In Los Angeles is sometimes a simple matter of word of mouth. The most common way for people to find a cosmetic dentist in a new area such as Los Angeles is to ask a friend or neighbor. ‘Who is your dentist?’ is a common question.

A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels and works like a natural tooth.
The actual dental implant material is usually titanium. A post is surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation. The root replacement device can help prevent future jaw bone deterioration that can occur after a tooth has been lost. When the implant has integrated securely with the bone (it can take three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached.
The dental implants available in the Los Angeles and Hollywood area are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of configurations. One dental implant can replace one missing tooth. A series of implants can replace more than one tooth or anchor a dental bridge. Implants can also act as a sturdy base for partial or full dentures.
When calculating the cost of dental implants in Los Angeles, Hollywood, or Beverly Hills area, you’ll want to compare them to other restorative options.
Call (877) 331-9291 to schedule a visit to discuss your dental goals and the possibility of reasonably cost dental implants. If you are missing one or more teeth, you owe it to yourself to get dental implants information.

When my Los Angeles clients ask me about tooth restoration, I usually tell them about fixed (or ‘traditional’) dental bridges or tooth implants. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which replaces a missing tooth. The false tooth (called a ‘pontic’) is fused to porcelain crowns on either side of the missing tooth.
Tooth replacement has been a highly requested procedure at my Los Angeles dental practice. Patients from the Century City, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood area have expressed concern about tooth replacement for many years. Most of my questions have to do with the strength of the tooth replacement and durability.
Dental implants are also a popular concern for my Los Angeles tooth replacement patients. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
After it has bonded with the bone (it usually takes three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached. The entire process takes several months, but consistently yields terrific results for Los Angeles tooth restoration patients. My California cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that I stay up to date on the latest advancements in tooth replacement procedures.
Both smile restoration options preserve or restore facial contour and allow you to talk and eat normally. Tooth replacements prevent adjoining teeth from gradually shifting and can help correct bite problems, too. Tooth implants and dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth. Many Los Angeles area dental patients have been treated successfully with these tooth restoration alternatives.
Call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry to schedule an evaluation for California tooth restoration. You can schedule your tooth restoration by calling us at 310-277-5678 .

If you have money in your Los Angeles flexible spending account you may want to schedule some cosmetic dentistry before the deadline. Remember, you lose any funds left over after the plan year ends. Why not improve your smile with tax-free dollars?
Even a small change can make a big difference in the appearance of your teeth. You might consider getting a veneer for a chipped tooth or replacing a broken crown. Maybe you want to straighten your teeth with braces or replace amalgam fillings with clear ones that blend with your natural teeth. Tooth whitening is quick and easy and benefits even the most attractive smiles.
Perhaps aesthetic dentistry is not your first priority. Maybe you have a more pressing dental need such as a cavity that is bothering you or swollen gums. Don’t let these problems get worse and possibly more expensive to treat.
Call (877) 331-9291 to book a consultation at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles. We are located at 2080 Century Park East, Suite 1601.
Dr. Bill Dorfman is one of the most sought-after Beverly Hills dentists and stays at the forefront of cosmetic dentistry techniques and technology. A radiant smile is possible for anyone in the California area, regardless of issues such as tetracycline stains, periodontal disease, or missing teeth.
If you are planning to use flex account funds for Beverly Hills dentistry, make sure you check your employer’s guidelines for eligible cosmetic or restorative dental procedures.
