Embarrassed By Your Teeth In Los Angeles?

February 3rd, 2012

What is a beautiful smile worth? Los Angeles area men and women who have received a smile makeover at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry say it was worth every penny.

Your smile is a part of you that you share with your Los Angeles family, friends, and colleagues every day. An attractive smile creates confidence. If you are embarrassed by your smile, you waste mental and physical energy trying to hide it.

How would your life improve if you felt comfortable in every social and professional situation? If you have been trying to hide your smile for years, what incorrect assumptions have others made about you? Do you come across as self-conscious or distant because you hardly laugh at jokes and barely crack a smile when you meet someone for the first time?

Investing in a Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry smile redesign is the best way to feel younger, more attractive, and able to share your true self. When you quit trying to hide your teeth, you are free to put all your energy into your work, play–everything!

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles, cosmetic dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman carefully contours perfect smiles for our smile design patients.

We also make sure our Los Angeles smile makeover clients are completely relaxed during treatment. If you are afraid of dentists, or have had negative experiences in the past, rest assured that we understand how you feel and our caring dental team will do our best to alleviate your concerns.

Century City Aesthetic Dentistry Smile Makeovers: It’s Not Just About Your Teeth

January 27th, 2012

I have been creating spectacular smiles at my Century City area cosmetic dental practice since 1985. Each one of my Century City smile makeover clients values their new smile almost as much as I value their trust.

My loyal patients, along with my dedicated dental team, have made my professional career particularly rewarding.

Working as a cosmetic dentist in Century City is more than just a job. Likewise, a smile makeover is more than straight, white, beautiful teeth – though that’s a big deal in itself!

My Century City cosmetic dentistry clients report that their new smile affects many areas of their life. Some have noticed increased effectiveness in their profession. Others enjoy a richer social life because they are now able to smile, laugh, and eat without self-consciousness.

One of my Century City patients who had been embarrassed by his damaged teeth for years says his new youthful smile has given him greater confidence and ambition.

Hello, I’m Dr. Bill Dorfman of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we expertly perform the most advanced cosmetic dental procedures available including teeth whitening, clear braces, dental crowns and bridges, and porcelain veneers. We also fill cavities with tooth colored fillings that blend perfectly with your natural teeth.

Only need a cleaning? Our hygienists perform the most thorough deep cleanings for our clients whose healthy smiles need nothing else.

If you don’t currently have a dentist, we invite you to visit our Century City cosmetic dentistry practice and discuss your dental goals. To schedule an exam, cleaning, or consultation, contact us today at (877) 331-9291.

Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentistry at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry

January 20th, 2012

Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your other teeth are nicely shaped and pearly white, guess what other people notice? Yep, the ugly duckling. You have probably experienced that yourself when you have looked at a smile that contains one discolored tooth. No matter how hard you try, the unsightly one is impossible to ignore.

A beautiful smile is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!

Veneers and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry

Porcelain veneers are a minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.

What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible in Los Angeles with dental implants.

For more information about veneers, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at (877) 331-9291. We are conveniently located at 2080 Century Park E, Ste 1601 in Los Angeles. We provide advanced dentistry for patients in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before & after’ pictures.

Dr. Bill Dorfman’s Top 5 Dental Questions

January 17th, 2012

Another exciting year is around the corner, and we’d like to share cosmetic dentist Dr. Dorfman’s Top 5 Dental Questions of 2011 to help you get a fabulous start and smile for the New Year. Seasons Greetings, and thank you for letting us help you attain your billion dollar smile!

1. Is it true that adding milk to coffee keeps your teeth safer when drinking?

Using milk doesn’t keep your teeth safer, but it helps with staining because it is a milder color, so the milk dilutes the color of the coffee.

2. What foods affect your smile and oral health negatively?

Aside from the foods commonly known to negatively affect smiles such as wine, cola, coffee, and tea, sucking on lemons will eat away at your teeth’s enamel . Popcorn kernels and ice may crack teeth when someone bites them.

3. What are the best times to brush your teeth? Does brushing after carbonation make a difference?

It’s best to brush your teeth at least twice a day, specifically after meals. Brushing after carbonation would make the greatest difference if the drink was acidic (like colas) in order to get acid off the teeth.

4. Does the hotness or coldness of a drink affect your teeth?

The only effect a drink’s temperature has on teeth is that sometimes people are sensitive to hot and cold. However, it doesn’t cause any permanent damage.

5. How can pregnancy affect your teeth?

Pregnancy doesn’t affect teeth as much as people may think. The big myth is that the baby pulls calcium out of teeth causing decay, which is completely false. What does occur is hormonal fluctuations cause a condition known as Pregnancy Gingivitis, noted as red puffy bleeding gums. If you are pregnant and experiencing this condition, please contact your Century City dentist, Dr. Bill Dorfman.

Tooth Ache Pain The Size of Beverly Hills

January 13th, 2012

Patients often come into our cosmetic dental practice and complain about ‘a toothache the size of Beverly Hills’. I understand this kind of pain, and realize that when you describe it like that, it really hurts. I can help.

Toothache pain for anyone in Beverly Hills can be unbearable. At the very least, toothache pain can cause you to avoid eating certain foods, certain temperatures, and even talking. Severe toothache pain can be downright debilitating, forcing patients to go to extreme measures to alleviate the pain.

Around Beverly Hills, the most common causes of a toothache include tooth infection, decay, injury, and loss of a tooth. Tooth pain can also occur after a tooth has been extracted, or after an oral surgery involving anything from a tooth or your jawbone.

I can help you better understand the source of your toothache pain, and in most cases can provide a nearly immediate remedy. In severe cases, we are equipped to council you on a variety of resolutions.

Of course, the best way to avoid tooth pain is to visit your Beverly Hills dentist often, and to exercise good oral health by properly caring for your teeth, including the regular regimen of brushing and flossing.

If you are experiencing toothache pain, and just can’t stand it any more, please give me a call; I am standing by to help. If fear of the dentist is keeping you from visiting, you may be a prime candidate for sedation dentistry. Be sure to ask about it when you come in for your appointment.

Dental Tips 101: Back to Basics for the New Year

January 12th, 2012

As the calendar resets itself for the New Year, I think it’s a great time to review basic dental care. Whether you’re a Los Angeles area resident who has recently had a cosmetic dental treatment that you want to maintain or simply want to take the best care of your teeth possible, the most important thing you can do is to keep a consistent, daily dental routine.

Here are my tips for proper teeth maintenance:

-Brush teeth regularly. Always use a soft brush. Even though you may think that a hard brush will do a better job, it doesn’t. In fact, hard brushes destroy teeth. Typically, manual users spend only 24-60 seconds brushing–that’s not enough! Use a manual toothbrush for three to five minutes. Or with a power brush like Sonicare (which is what I use), two minutes get the job done.

-Use a simple yet effective brushing technique:

1) Hold the brush at a 45 degree angle against your gums.

2) Rotate the brush gently in small, circular motions.

3) Brush the outer surfaces of each tooth on both the upper and lower arches.

4) Repeat on the inside and chewing surfaces of all teeth.

-Floss regularly. Watch me discuss how and why to floss properly on The Doctors TV show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52zQ0REyR0Y&list=UU9cD910PBI7upPIufL4N0zg&index=2&feature=plcp

-See your dentist regularly.

-For fresh breath, I recommend the BreathRx brush and floss, scrape and rinse regimen. After brushing, scrape the tongue with a BreathRx Tongue Scraper to remove bad breath-causing bacteria. Move it from the back of the tongue toward the front, sweeping bacteria out of the mouth. Rinse with water and an alcohol-free mouthwash like BreathRx.

Easy, right? It still amazes me how many people neglect these simple things, inviting a host of dental problems that could have been avoided.

Use these dental hygiene tips to get a fresh start to a Happy New Year!

Los Angeles Whiter Smiles

January 6th, 2012

Wishing for a whiter smile in Los Angeles but not sure how to get it? New to tooth whitening lingo? At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we educate clients on the variety of affordable Los Angeles teeth whitening treatments; from whitening trays to teeth bleaching to zoom whitening. We do Los Angeles teeth whitening every day.

Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that comes in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at (877) 331-9291 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Los Angeles smile whitening results.

Los Angeles at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have dental crowns or veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Los Angeles teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at (877) 331-9291.

Prevention-Oriented Dentistry

December 30th, 2011

Are you a Beverly Hills area resident? Would you like to develop better oral hygiene habits than you had when you were young? Perhaps you have a beautiful smile and want to prevent tooth decay. Many Beverly Hills people have a mouth full of fillings and don’t want to add another one to their collection.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we have a prevention-oriented philosophy of dental care.

Your first step toward dental health begins with a prevention consultation with Dr. Bill Dorfman.

Beverly Hills cosmetic dental patients will need to start with an exam to determine their current status. Your dental condition is influenced by your dietary habits, previous dental work, physical health, medications, lifestyle and family history. After a comprehensive analysis, Dr. Bill Dorfman can establish a decay prevention plan just for you.

A prevention plan is a multi-faceted approach designed to maintain optimum dental health. It involves affordable preventative services at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. Twice-yearly exams reveal early problems before they progress. Deep cleanings prevent a multitude of serious dental issues for our Beverly Hills area patients who faithfully keep their regular cleaning appointments.

Oral health cannot be maintained solely in our office. Daily brushing and flossing is essential. A healthy diet is necessary and will deliver benefits to your whole body – not just your teeth.

Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles Cares For Teeth

December 23rd, 2011

Dentists in Los Angeles are concerned with your oral health and thus care about the condition of your mouth and all of your many teeth. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we recognize that your teeth help you both eat and speak. You use your teeth to tear, scrape, and chew food, as well as to form words with your tongue. Teeth are an important part of your oral health and Century City Aesthetic Dentistry located in Los Angeles wants to help keep your mouth and teeth healthy.

We humans have two sets of teeth in our lifetime. The first set are your ‘primary teeth’, which many folks around Los Angeles often call ‘baby teeth’. Baby teeth typically start to come in at about 6 months old. An average healthy mouth for a Los Angeles resident has a total of 20 primary teeth by about age 5.

Your primary teeth will eventually fall out and new teeth known as ‘permanent teeth’ will grow in. Permanent teeth typically begin to come in around age 6 for most Los Angeles residents, but every person is unique and it could be a little earlier or later. By about age 13 an average healthy mouth should have 28 of the total 32 permanent teeth. The last four permanent teeth may or may not come, but typically come in between the ages of 17 and 21 if they do. Because of the late age that these last teeth come in they are commonly called ‘wisdom teeth’.

Many adults in the city of Los Angeles have their wisdom teeth pulled out because these teeth can be problematic to your dental health, such as crowding a mouth. Other adults in the Los Angeles area may not have these teeth pulled out because they are not causing problems. If you are concerned about the state of your wisdom teeth you can visit our local Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry office and we can help you make a decision.

Caring for all of your teeth whether you are young and have 20 primary teeth or are an adult and have 28 to 32 permanent teeth is important for your overall health. Visiting your Los Angeles dentist regularly, and brushing and flossing daily are great ways to care for your many teeth. Century City Aesthetic Dentistry located in Los Angeles, cares about your oral health.
