Century City Aesthetic Dentistry on Jaw Bone Deterioration

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

To remain dense, your jaw bone requires the continual stimulation and pressure of chewing, biting and talking. Each of your teeth has a root structure attached to the surrounding bone material. As each tooth absorbs the forces of everyday mouth function, it stimulates the bone to which the root is attached.

When a tooth is extracted, the jaw bone that previously surrounded the root structure begins to recede. Though tooth extraction is often the only possible treatment for our Los Angeles patients with tooth damage beyond repair, every effort should be made to preserve the root structure.

Fortunately, dental implants provide a new root which keeps the surrounding bone healthy and strong. A dental implant consists of a titanium post which is placed in the jaw bone. It replaces the original root and eventually integrates into the surrounding bone. After the dental implant has been placed and the surrounding bone has healed and meshed with the implant, a post is inserted into the implant. The new artificial tooth, or dental crown, is then attached to the post. Implant restoration is a safe and effective treatment for tooth loss.

To learn more about dental implants, call Bill Dorfman at (877) 331-9291. The friendly professionals at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles provide world-class dental treatment for patients in Beverly Hills and the surrounding areas.

You deserve a billion dollar smile

Common Myths about Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentistry

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many so-called Beverly Hills cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Beverly Hills dental procedures such as tooth replacement are smile-enhancing and, more importantly, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Beverly Hills Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges are a Beverly Hills dental cosmetic procedure that have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages for California dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Beverly Hills dental implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Beverly Hills Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer our Beverly Hills dental patients teeth whitening treatments that provide a much greater level of whiteness than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide optimum results and can often lead to uneven coloring.

Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at (877) 331-9291 to set up an appointment so we can determine the best solution for you.

Myth #5: Beverly Hills Braces are the Only Way to Straighten Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Beverly Hills teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, lumineers can reshape your teeth and dramatically improve your smile. And the best thing about veneers? They offer instant results!

How Mini Dental Implants Can Help Your Smile In 90067

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

I’m Bill Dorfman, a dental implant dentist in the Century City area. In a recent post, I explained how traditional dental implants are used to dramatically improve the lives of my Century City denture and cosmetic dentistry clients. Today’s topic is mini dental implants, sometimes called ‘immediate implants’.

Though they are not as well known as traditional tooth implants, mini implants are also being used successfully in the Century City area to improve smiles. Like their larger diameter counterparts, mini implants can support a restoration for one or more missing teeth or replace a bridge or fixed dentures. Century City tooth restoration clients and denture wearers benefit greatly from these slip free dental implants that are anchored securely in the jaw bone.

In some cases, a patient is unable to receive traditional full-size dental implants due to insufficient bone thickness. There are also Century City mini implant patients who are not able to undergo dental implant surgery due to health issues. These Century City overdenture patients are often excellent candidates for the mini version.

The placement of toothpick-size mini dental implants can usually be done in one dental visit. The placement usually requires no incisions or stitches. Recovery time, if necessary, is usually very short. Most patients are able to eat dinner that evening.

Many Century City cosmetic dentistry clients are happy to learn that mini implants are a lower cost dental implants option. Don’t let the word ‘mini’ fool you; Your smile can receive a maximum upgrade with mini dental implants.

Call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at (877) 331-9291 to schedule a consultation.

Century City Cosmetic Dentistry in Los Angeles

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Hello! I’m Dr. Bill Dorfman, DDS, of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles.

I have been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry since 1985. Dentistry is a challenging and fascinating profession; dentists must have diagnostic skills, dexterity, extensive scientific knowledge, and good visual memory. Dentistry also requires artistic ability. In addition to the technical aspects of dentistry, I really enjoy interacting with my Los Angeles dental patients.

I recognize that my clients have other choices in Los Angeles area dental practices, and I work continually to earn their trust and surpass their expectations.

Each Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry client is unique. Many of my patients come in twice-yearly for an exam and cleaning. We help them maintain excellent oral health. Some California cosmetic dentistry clients come to me seeking major restorative dental work such as dental implants. It is extremely gratifying to complete a smile makeover and see the client’s reaction when they see the result for the first time.

When I have a pre-treatment consultation with a new Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry client, it is very informative for both of us. The patient learns the specifics about the possible procedures and I learn about the clients’ goals, concerns and expectations. Then I work with the client to develop a dental treatment plan that fits the patient’s needs, desired outcome and budget.

My cosmetic dental practice is located at 2080 Century Park East, Suite 1601 in Los Angeles. If you are looking for an experienced dentist in the Los Angeles area, call (877) 331-9291 to schedule a consultation.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Hate Your Dentures?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Perhaps you have heard or seen the Century City’s cosmetic dental industry’s advertising about dental implants. Most Los Angeles dentists claim that dental implant dentures can change your life. Does this sound like hype? Exaggeration?

Let’s look at the facts about dental implant anchored dentures in Century City:

Chewing: An oral implant denture can restore up to 95 percent of normal chewing function. How important is chewing? Can you chew easily with your current full or partial denture? Can you bite apples? When was the last time you ate a raw carrot?

Fit: Implant anchored dentures stay in place. An implant denture doesn’t slide around in your mouth and cause sores. Century City implant denture wearers who exercise regularly especially appreciate this benefit.

Appearance: How does your smile look? Can you smile confidently? How many Century City denture wearers love their smile? Implant anchored dentures look like natural teeth. They don’t move when you smile, eat, talk, bike, swim, dance, golf, ski; you get the idea.

Bone health: When teeth are extracted, bone recession can occur over time (in fact, this happens in almost every case). Because a titanium implant is an artificial ‘tooth root’ inserted into your jaw bone, your bone has a better chance of staying healthy. If there are no other adverse conditions present, your jaw bone should remain strong and dense, just as if the original tooth root were there.

If you hate your dentures and live in Century City, why don’t you come in for a consultation about dental implants and mini-implants? We can discuss all the particulars including procedure specifics, healing time and dental implant cost. Then you can decide for yourself if implant dentures will, as promised, change your life.

Your Smile Doesn’t Have to Show Your Age

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

As we grow older, we may welcome many changes. However, most Los Angeles retirees do not welcome wrinkles, gray hair and dental problems.

Fortunately, your smile can be attractive and healthy throughout your golden years!

Even if your teeth are showing visible signs of wear such as enamel loss, staining, and chips, it is not too late to restore your youthful smile. And, though tooth loss is fairly common for Los Angeles residents over sixty, in most cases it is preventable.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in the Los Angeles area, we treat patients with the utmost care. We provide dental procedures such as Zoom whitening and dental implants.

If you live in Hollywood, Century City, or Beverly Hills, call (877) 331-9291 to schedule a dental consultation. If you haven’t seen a dentist in a while, you will be interested to learn about the latest cosmetic dentistry techniques. Many procedures can be completed in one visit to our Los Angeles dental office.

Love Your Smile in Century City

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time for Century City men, women and teens to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a Hollywood wedding, Century City party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

Century City teeth whitening can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our Century City whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that Los Angeles tooth whitening dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. Century City tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

California tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. We offer many whitening options including professional in-office Zoom whitening. Tooth whitening in Los Angeles is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

What a Beautiful California Smile Says About You

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

It’s not just about looks. According to a recent study by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), a healthy and attractive smile makes you appear more intelligent, successful, friendly and interesting. (See http://www.aacd.com for complete survey results.)

Our smile makeover patients who have undergone restorative and cosmetic dentistry at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles have experienced this phenomenon firsthand. They have expressed that they not only feel great about their looks, they are more confident in professional and social situations. Another benefit: they also feel more appealing to the opposite gender.

I’m Bill Dorfman of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles. I get great satisfaction in using my years of specialized experience to provide premium cosmetic dentistry for my patients in the Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Century City area. I am passionate about developing a custom treatment plan for each Los Angeles dental client. Some of my California patients had lived with misaligned or crooked teeth for years. After receiving porcelain veneers, they now have a dazzling smile. Others had been self-conscious about missing or stained teeth. Dental implants can replace missing teeth.

There has never been a better time to upgrade your smile. There are solutions for every kind of dental problem. If you are not familiar with the latest teeth whitening, crown restoration and tooth replacement procedures, it is time to find out. Call (877) 331-9291 to schedule a consultation. Come in to our office on 2080 Century Park East, Suite 1601 in Los Angeles and see photos of our happy Century City dental makeover clients who are enjoying their beautiful smiles every day!
