BEFORE   AFTER

Many women and men are bothered by the appearance of their upper teeth and decide to look into cosmetic dentistry to restore their smile. This patient decided to search for a highly-qualified cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles to create a dramatic transformation, and finally decided to meet with Dr. Farnoosh to find out more about what steps to take.
 
Dr. Farnoosh tends not to favor either dental bridges or dentures, just because they do not provide an adequate replacement for the original tooth, and in many cases allow the bone below the missing tooth to be partially reabsorbed by the body, weakening the jaw. For a healthier, natural look Dr. Farnoosh recommended a dental implant to replace the missing tooth, and porcelain crowns to strengthen the adjacent teeth.
 
He began this procedure by making a pilot hole in the bone where he inserted the implant screw. After the screw was given some time to bond with the bone, he placed a temporary crown on the implant. For many patients, this encourages the gum to grow and gives the tooth a natural appearance before they receive the final crown. After the tooth implant was complete, Dr. Fereidoun Daftary, a prosthodontist in Beverly Hills, placed porcelain crowns on the surrounding teeth so that they would match the color and appearance of the other teeth.
 
The results turned out remarkably well. As the "before" and "after" photos show, there was a dramatic change in the appearance of the mouth and it now looks much more healthy and attractive. This patient was very satisfied with her Los Angeles smile makeover.
