Find A Dentist

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

There are a lot of places to look for a dentist, but its not always easy to find a dentist in Los Angeles.

It used to be that in Los Angeles you could find a dentist just by walking down to the corner of the street. Like many small towns, there would be a dentist on the corner of ‘north and main’, just up from the fire house, and across from the bakery.

Today, finding a dentist around Los Angeles can take a little more time, and a little more effort. Our local Los Angeles community is spread out a little more, and there is more than one option for finding a local dentist in Los Angeles.

Let’s look at a few of the ways to find a local dentist in Los Angeles:

The old timers among us still reach for the yellow pages when we look to find a dentist in our local Los Angeles community. The yellow pages have been a standard for dentists since the beginning, and are a quick way to get a good list of local Los Angeles dentists.

Studies are showing an ever increasing number of Los Angeles consumers are turning to their Internet connection to find a dentist. To find a dentist online can mean more than just a name and a phone number; many dentists, like us, have additional information on their website that will help you gain a better understanding of their practice and the services they provide.

Many people find a dentist in the Los Angeles community through printed mailers and flyers that come to your door. Los Angeles dentists spend a lot of money on these types of flyers, which can often carry a discount opportunity or special promotion.

The most popular method used to find a local dentist? …Word of mouth. Studies have shown that people in Los Angeles are more willing to listen to a family member or close friend when it comes to finding a local Los Angeles dentist.

We understand this last point, and make it our job to keep our patients happy, healthy, informed and comfortable during their visit to the dentist. We know if you leave happy, your friends and family in the Los Angeles area will hear about us, too.

If you are looking for a dentist in Los Angeles, please give us a call. You can reach us at (877) 331-9291.  We provide cosmetic dentistry and sedation dentistry.

If you know a friend who is trying to find a dentist in the Los Angeles area, please pass our name along.

We look forward to seeing you both!

Wisdom Teeth And Your Beverly Hills Dentist

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

Wisdom Teeth And Your Los Angeles Dentist Wisdom teeth are the last of the molars (grinding teeth) to erupt from the gum. They usually appear in the late teens and early twenties. Not all people develop these teeth while others have from one to four.  Your Beverly Hills dentist can help you determine how many wisdom teeth you have in your mouth.

Though some people never experience any problems with these extra molars, many times Wisdom teeth can create serious dental complications. If the wisdom teeth do not have the room to develop and erupt normally, they are referred to as impacted wisdom teeth. An impacted tooth may never emerge from the bone and gum, emerge only partially, or come in sideways.

Impacted teeth can damage the adjacent molar, cause infection or trigger gum disease. Sometimes these problems cause no noticeable symptoms for a period of time. To prevent these serious complications, wisdom teeth are often removed.  Sedation dentistry is sometimes offered during these extractions for anxious patients.

Wisdom teeth symptoms include pain when opening mouth, gum swelling, bad breath, and pain when chewing. These indicators can be constant or intermittent.

To learn more about wisdom teeth extraction, call (877) 331-9291 to schedule an exam at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. Our professional and aware cosmetic dental team can recommend the best course of treatment.

Bad Breath Treatment at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Bad Breath Treatment at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry Do you suspect that you have bad breath? I’m Bill Dorfman of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, a full-service dental office in Los Angeles, California. I help our dental patients diagnose and overcome this unpleasant and potentially embarrassing condition.

Halitosis is caused by the bacteria that live on and around your teeth, gums and tongue. Breath mints and mouthwashes do not cure bad breath, they only mask the symptoms. Proper oral hygiene can cure many cases of bad breath. However, in some cases, bad breath is caused by more serious conditions. Sinus and tonsil infections, acid reflux, ulcers, diabetes, hypoglycemia, kidney malfunction, and eating disorders are just some of the health issues that can cause bad breath.

If you have bad breath, the first thing to do is make sure you are cleaning your teeth, gums and tongue thoroughly. This does not mean you should brush as long and forcefully as possible. Brushing too vigorously can harm gums and contribute to gum recession. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we help patients of all ages learn safe and effective brushing, flossing and tongue cleaning methods to aid in fresh breath.

And don’t forget regular professional cleanings. Our friendly dental hygienist is trained in the latest and most effective deep-cleaning procedures. Your teeth will feel so good after being cleaned professionally!

To make an appointment for an exam, cleaning or consultation, call (877) 331-9291. Your teeth are too important to neglect.
