Los Angeles Whiter Smiles

Friday, 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.

Los Angeles Tooth Whitening For Whiter Smiles

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Los Angeles, tooth whitening is one of the easiest and rewarding procedures. There are also a lot of tooth whitening options for those of us in the Beverly Hills area. How do you find a good tooth whitening procedure in Los Angeles?

Visiting your local Los Angeles dentist is a good start!

Whitening your teeth is an advanced dental procedure that you won’t want to get wrong on the first try. That’s why I always recommend a visit to Century City Aesthetic Dentistry (our dental practice) to visit with me and talk about it. I’m Bill Dorfman, and as a Los Angeles dentist, I am not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile. I can recommend tooth whitening procedures based on your age, dental hygiene, and personal goals.

Most importantly, I can help you assess the condition of your teeth and help you understand what to expect and how to care for your teeth once they are whitened.

Many of our Los Angeles patients ask about tooth whitening. In fact it is one of our most popular dental procedures. There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our Los Angeles dental office called Zoom whitening. The one best for you can depend on many factors, starting with the color of your teeth, and how white you want your teeth to be after the procedure.

Consulting with your Los Angeles dentist before you begin a tooth whitening procedure has several advantages. Among the advantages are professional care, experienced advice, and reliable recommendations for which tooth whitening procedure will be best for you.

If you are contemplating a teeth whitening procedure, and you live in the Los Angeles area, come in and visit with me for just a few minutes. We’ll discuss your goals, the options that are available to you, and the results you can expect. You will be much happier with your results with the advantage of professional advice.

I look forward to hearing from you. Call (877) 331-9291.

Do Whitestrips Work?

Friday, August 19th, 2011

If you have visited the toothpaste aisle at your Beverly Hills Wal-Mart, you have probably noticed dozens of products that claim to whiten your teeth. A few years ago, the only over-the-counter tooth whitening options in Beverly Hills were whitening toothpastes and Crest Whitestrips. Now there is a wide variety of products at every drugstore counter in the Beverly Hills area.

Whitening Rinses
Beverly Hills whitening rinses are similar to mouthwashes. They kill bacteria, freshen breath and may help remove plaque. Whitening rinses, however, contain tooth-whitening ingredients not found in mouthwashes. Manufacturers advise taking a mouthful of the rinse and letting it slosh around on your teeth for one minute twice a day. Though this method is simple, many users never notice a lightening of their teeth. This is probably because the rinse does not touch your teeth long enough to truly whiten them.

Whitening Strips
The whitening strips you can buy in Beverly Hills grocery stores have a couple of drawbacks. Though they contain a bleaching agent, it is much less potent than those used in California cosmetic dental offices. Another problem is that they do not whiten between teeth because the strips only touch the front surface. Though it is possible to remove stains, it can take months to see any whitening. By that point, you have probably spent more money than you would have if you’d have chosen the professional system at your Beverly Hills tooth whitening dental office. We offer professional Zoom whitening that can whiten your teeth in an hour.

Teeth Whitening Gels
Whitening gels are painted onto teeth with a small brush. One problem with whitening gels is that they only stick to dry teeth. If any saliva gets on the teeth during treatment, the gel is more likely to slide off.

If you are serious about dramatically whitening your teeth, the safest, quickest, and most affordable system is at your Beverly Hills dental office.

Century City Aesthetic Dentistry is located at 2080 Century Park E, Ste 1601 in Los Angeles. Our phone number is (877) 331-9291. You can find more information on our Los Angeles dental website online at http://www.billdorfmandds.com/meet-the-team/dr-dorfman/.

What Is Laser Dentistry?

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

The word ‘LASER’ is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser device emits a powerful, highly-concentrated beam of light. (Didn’t we all love the amazing laser weapons in ‘Star Wars?) Lasers are used in hundreds of applications in almost every California industry including communications, researching, manufacturing, entertainment and medicine.

Lasers are now used in some technologically-advanced Los Angeles dental practices on both hard (tooth) and soft (gum) tissue. Lasers allow Los Angeles cosmetic dentists a degree of precision that was previously impossible.

How do lasers benefit our Los Angeles dental patients?

Fewer stitches (some surgical procedures require no sutures)

Shorter healing time

Decreased chance of infection

Less damage to surrounding tissue/bone

Increased patient comfort – anesthesia is often unnecessary

California dentists use lasers in crown lengthening, decay detection, bacteria removal in root canals, gum recontouring, biopsy, lesion removal, and tooth whitening.

If you are interested in any of these procedures, call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at (877) 331-9291. Dr. Bill Dorfman has been providing unsurpassed general and cosmetic dentistry since 1985.

The latest dental technology is useless without the skill and experience necessary to deliver the best possible outcomes. Let us show you some photos of the results we routinely achieve at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry in Los Angeles. We also offer sedation dentistry for patients anxious about dental work.

-You deserve a billion dollar smile

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/.

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.

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Beverly Hills?

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

What is the best professional tooth whitening system?

There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Beverly Hills. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Beverly Hills in-office Zoom whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.

Most cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many Beverly Hills, CA clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer safe and effective teeth whitening. Our Beverly Hills cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at (877) 331-9291.

Questions To Ask Your Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Sometimes we research our Los Angeles mechanic or hairdresser more thoroughly than our Los Angeles dental professional. Shouldn’t your dental care be far more important than the condition of your car or the style of your hair? At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we love to answer questions about your teeth. You should be asking your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist any question you have about the care and status of your teeth.

For instance, you may have questions about the school of dentistry and dental specialties studied. Though important, dentistry school is not the only place to gain dental experience. Bill Dorfman has been performing complex California dental procedures since 1985.

You should also be asking about the dentistry specialties your cosmetic dentist offers such as tooth restoration, dental crowns, or dental veneers. These services may not be important to you now, but it is a good idea to have an understanding of your options, and to know what your dentist has to offer.

If you are contemplating smile restoration such as dental implants or tooth whitening, evaluate cosmetic dentistry options with your dentist. Look at before and after pictures, and ask your cosmetic dentist what procedures may be right for you.

You have many choices for your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry. We welcome questions about all aspects of our Century City Aesthetic Dentistry practice. Visit us at 2080 Century Park East, Suite 1601 in Los Angeles and talk to a member of our professional and aware team.
