Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentistry at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry

Friday, 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.

Are You Ready To Smile Again, Century City?

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Most Century City residents have plenty of things to smile about.

However, there are some folks who avoid smiling at all costs. Are you one of those people who cover their mouth when they laugh? Do you keep your mouth closed when someone takes a picture of you? Have you been hiding unsightly teeth for years?

It’s time to take care of those tooth problems and get a new lease on life.

Dr. Bill Dorfman at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Century City can make it happen!

If you are missing one or more teeth, and live in the Century City area, talk to us about dental implants. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that includes both root and dental crown. Because it is anchored into the jawbone, it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Are your teeth yellow or gray? Have teeth whitening done at our Century City dental practice and experience an instant transformation.

Many of your Century City friends and neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. They correct several types of imperfections and can be applied in just one visit to our Century City cosmetic dental office.

Celebrity Smiles In Beverly Hills Without The Annoying Paparazzi

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Hello friends of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry!

Close your eyes. Picture the most beautiful smile you have ever seen. Perhaps it is the smile of your significant other. Perhaps it is your favorite actor, actress, or singer. What makes this smile memorable? The brilliant color? The beautiful translucency? The pleasing shape? The alignment of the teeth? All of the above?

Would you like a smile as memorable as the image in your mind? It’s possible with cosmetic dentistry at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Beverly Hills.

Dr. Bill Dorfman skillfully redesigns smiles to correct alignment, dull color, damage, and stains.

Cosmetic dental procedures include the ever-popular porcelain veneers (gives teeth a brand new face), crown restorations, teeth whitening, orthodontia (quicker and easier than ever!), and dental bonding (affordable and effective).

You can have a billboard-perfect smile right here in Beverly Hills.

The very same cosmetic dental procedures used on famous smiles is available at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. A celebrity salary and jet-setting lifestyle may be out of reach, but not a red carpet-worthy smile.

Los Angeles Dental News: Poor Oral Health And Heart Disease

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Attention Los Angeles dental patients: brushing twice daily may help lower your risk of heart disease. Los Angeles scientists, dentists, and cardiologists have known for many years that there is a link between inflammation in the mouth (gum disease) and heart problems, However, a recent study analyzed oral health habits and heart disease risk. Science Daily reported on the study which was published in the British Medical Journal.

I quote from the Science Daily article:

“The authors, led by Professor Richard Watt from University College London, analyzed data from over 11,000 adults who took part in a Scottish Health Survey. The research team analyzed data about lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, physical activity, and oral health routines.”

“Once the data was adjusted for established cardio risk factors, the researchers found that participants who reported less frequent toothbrushing had a 70 percent extra risk of heart disease compared to individuals who brushed their teeth twice a day.”

I am Dr. Bill Dorfman DDS of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. The Scottish survey is one of many that confirms the link between oral health and overall health. Simply put: you aren’t healthy unless your gums and teeth are healthy.

It doesn’t matter if you are a lean Los Angeles distance runner with a pulse of fifteen beats a minute and a blood pressure of 100 over 60. It doesn’t matter if you are a Los Angeles vegan who has eaten a nutritionally balanced, low-fat diet for the past five years. If you have inflamed gums and tooth decay, you are at risk for problems in other areas of the body.

The phone number for Century City Aesthetic Dentistry is (877) 331-9291. If you have concerns about your oral health, I invite you to schedule an examination today.

Perhaps your teeth and gums are healthy but you wish your smile was more attractive. We can help you there also with a smile redesign. Porcelain veneers, crowns, inlays/onlays, and orthodontia are all available to solve any cosmetic problems you wish to correct.

If you have not visited a cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles yet, now is the time. My professional team and I will help keep your smile beautiful for life.

Or call us at (877) 331-9291 to learn more.

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Los Angeles Sedation Dentist Can Help

Friday, October 7th, 2011

If you live near Los Angeles and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.

Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Los Angeles at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Los Angeles for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous cosmetic dental clients in the L.A. area.

Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, Los Angeles dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Los Angeles patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:

Tooth sensitivity
Fear of needles
A powerful gag reflex
Difficulty controlling body movement
Lengthy multi-procedure visits
Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections

If you need dental work more extensive than tooth colored fillings; such as a tooth implant, crown replacement, porcelain veneers or tooth whitening; call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at (877) 331-9291. When you come to our office at 2080 Century Park E, Ste 1601 in Los Angeles, we can give you more information about sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is only one of the services we offer at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, where your smile is our top priority!

Versatile Veneers for a Vivid Smile

Friday, August 5th, 2011

Have you ever wished you could quickly attach perfectly shaped, dazzling white front surfaces to your teeth? Guess what? You can! With porcelain veneers, you can eliminate smile imperfections in just one visit to your Los Angeles cosmetic dental office.

The porcelain veneer is one of the most versatile items in a Los Angeles cosmetic dentist’s toolbox. Veneers turn unattractive smiles into perfect smiles with minimal disruption to existing tooth structure. They are quicker and usually less expensive than complete crowns but are made with the same strong, translucent porcelain.

It’s no that wonder that a very large percentage of people in the public eye have porcelain veneers. A California actress can receive a perfect smile in the morning and appear on a talk show that evening. A supermodel can permanently remedy a discolored tooth and pose for photos right after leaving her Los Angeles dental office. A television news anchorman can have his teeth perfectly aligned in a couple hours and report California news that same day.

I am Bill Dorfman of Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles, California. I use veneers alone and in combination with dental crowns, inlays, onlays, and tooth implants for dramatic smile makeovers. Perhaps porcelain veneers are the best route to your perfect smile.

Let’s talk. My office can be reached at (877) 331-9291

We are located at 2080 Century Park E, Ste 1601 in Los Angeles.

Is a Perfect Smile Possible In Los Angeles?

Friday, June 10th, 2011

Are you considering a smile makeover in the Los Angeles area? Are you skeptical of promises of a ‘perfect smile’ a ‘celebrity smile’ or ‘a dazzling, youthful smile’? Let’s talk about the most popular Los Angeles cosmetic dental procedures and the results that can be expected. Composite Veneers The application of porcelain veneers at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry can remedy a multitude of aesthetic dental problems and is often a better cosmetic dental solution for candidates in the Los Angeles area than dental bonding. Dental veneers can correct tooth chips, tooth cracks, minor tooth misalignment, tooth discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size. Can a porcelain veneer create a perfect tooth? While a veneer cannot fix a decayed tooth, it can turn an unsightly tooth into an aesthetically perfect tooth. Tooth Bleaching Los Angeles tooth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment that dramatically improves a smile. However, some Los Angeles tooth whitening dentists will guarantee fantastic results for any patient that desires a whiter smile. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles we only recommend tooth bleaching for clients that are good candidates for the process. If you have all-natural teeth that are dull or stained, tooth whitening will brighten your smile. If you have several dental crowns in the front of your mouth, or gums that have receded, conventional tooth-whitening may not improve your smile. Call (877) 331-9291 to schedule a tooth-whitening consultation. Tooth-Colored Fillings If you have a mouth full of metal fillings, you may be interested in tooth-colored fillings. To get an idea of how the inside of your mouth would look without metal, have someone without any fillings open their mouth. Do you remember when your mouth looked like that? Would you like to bring your smile back to its pre-filling appearance? It is possible with tooth colored fillings at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. These are just a few of the cosmetic dentistry solutions that create perfect smiles for our Los Angeles clients. You can see a complete list of our services at http://www.billdorfmandds.com/.

Energy Drink Warning For Century City

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

Hello. I’m Dr. Bill Dorfman.

Welcome to my Century City dental blog. Today’s topic is energy drinks and the damage they can cause to your teeth. I am seeing more and more Century City teens and adults with tooth enamel erosion caused by frequent consumption of sport drinks.

Most of these Century City dentistry patients take good care of their teeth, brush and flush, and come into Century City Aesthetic Dentistry for a twice-yearly exam and deep cleaning. But guess what? If you drink energy drinks regularly, your enamel can erode even if you practice immaculate oral hygiene.

Energy drinks like Red Bull, Rock Star, and Monster are a cocktail of powerful acids and other enamel-eroding substances. Most of them contain citric acid, fruit juices, loads of sugar, and a potent chemical that gives them their bright fluorescent color.

Perhaps, like myself, you have often noticed young people walking out of Century City convenience stores swigging 32-ounce energy drinks. I am concerned that Century City teens do not understand the serious dental consequences of frequent acid baths.

The following is from ABC Sports:

“Sports drinks are increasingly damaging the teeth of professional and recreational athletes, one of Australia’s top sports dentists has warned. Dr. Brett Dorney says he has witnessed a huge increase in dental erosion since the Sidney Olympics, when he was the event’s deputy director of dental services.”

Here is an excerpt from a recent CNN Story:

“Researchers at the University of Iowa’s College of Dentistry found the energy drinks and sports drinks eroded the enamel more than soda and fruit juices.”

I need to add the caveat that soda and fruit juices also contain acids that can damage teeth.

If your teeth have enamel erosion, whatever the cause, we can restore your smile with advanced cosmetic dentistry. Crowns, porcelain veneers, inlays and onlays can correct both structural and cosmetic problems.

Our phone number is (877) 331-9291. If you are interested in re-designing your smile, come in for an exam and consultation. With cutting-edge cosmetic dentistry, we can repair acid-damaged teeth and dramatically increase your face value. We also offer dental implants.

We can help you determine the level of Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry you will need to get the smile you want, and will answer all of your questions about Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry.

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!
