Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser has performed thousands of smile makeovers since 1980. In that time, he has worked with a multitude of celebrities from around the globe, helping give them smiles that are the envy of the world. With his trained, artistic eye, he can instantly recognize what makes a smile so dazzling or identify what can be done to turn an average smile into a dazzling work of art.

Below are some of his thoughts on today’s celebrity smiles.

Tom Cruise . He has a wonderful, world-famous smile, but there are some things he could do to improve it. A combination of gum line pink bonding on the upper right canine tooth, and a thin porcelain veneers on the upper right side could give him a fuller smile. My philosophy is to keep your teeth for the rest of your life and use the most conservative minimal procedure possible when it comes to veneers. My suggestion to him is to add (not remove) a combination of bonding and porcelain veneers.

Cosmetic dentistry is growing in popularity every day. If you’re looking at having some cosmetic dental treatment done on your smile, no doubt you have many questions. Herewith we provide some answers.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY PROCEDURES
Many options are available these days, including permanent whitening, reshaping and contouring of the smile line, porcelain veneers (dental veneers) and more. Read our “procedures” articles for more details. You also may want to visit our “Services” site.

COSMETIC DENTAL COSTS
As with most customer services, the cost varies depending on the time required and the complexity of the dental cosmetic procedure. Creating your smile makeover may require a combination of the services listed above. The best way to determine price is to consult a Los Angeles cosmetic dentist as Dr. Anthony Mobasser. Keep in mind cosmetic dentistry is an investment in both your personal and professional future.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY BENEFITS
Surveys show 98 percent of Americans believe a person with a beautiful smile is more successful, more intelligent, more attractive, and much more. A great smile also makes patients feel more confident and ensures your teeth are healthy.

TIMELINE TO COMPLETE YOUR COSMETIC DENTISTRY
How many visits will it take to improve your smile? The timeline varies for each person, depending on the amount of work required. Some procedures can be completed in one or two visits. More extensive work may require up to six visits. Due to Dr. Mobasser’s expertise, rest assured that your cosmetic dentistry will be performed with the highest quality possible in the shortest amount of time. Whereas many cosmetic dentists require up to 10 visits to complete cosmetic dentistry procedures, Dr. Mobasser requires only two in most cases. The need for a complete, comprehensive evaluation and consultation is a must prior to starting treatment. Undergoing smile makeover may sound daunting, but the ease with which Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser performs his procedures, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start the treatment sooner. You are going to love your new smile!

APPEARANCE
Dr. Mobasser will collaborate with you to create the look you desire. He can create a smile enhancement that looks both natural and dramatic. Using photographs and models, Dr. Mobasser can show you how you’ll look with your new smile. In some cases, he can place trial materials (dental mockup) directly over your existing teeth so you can view the final results immediately.

LONGEVITY

Your makeover will last for many years if you practice good dental oral hygiene. This includes brushing, flossing, and preventive visits. Please note each patient requires different preventative visits in which Dr. Mobasser will let you know ahead of time due to plaque buildup, your past medical history, your past dental history, enzymes in your saliva, and the genetic factors relating to plaque buildup. Some patients may need checkups every 2-4 months, every 6 months, or every 12 months, depending on the plaque buildup.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY AND YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE
Not all dental insurance plans cover cosmetic dentistry. If they do, they will reimburse only a portion of the treatment. We can check in advance (after a complete analysis of your dental health) if your insurance does cover cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Mobasser can arrange a payment structure to best suit your needs.

TOOTH WHITENING
Please note many people are concerned that teeth whitening will damage their tooth enamel and cause permanent teeth sensitivity. On the contrary, teeth whitening causes no damage to your enamel. However, if you have gum disease, gum recession, or your roots are exposed, teeth whitening is not recommended due to causing severe sensitivity on the rooth of the tooth. In some cases that has been irreversible. That is why Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist Dr. Mobasser says that is pertinent to have a compelte evaluation before starting teeth whitening procedures. Dr. Mobasser does not recommend you use over-the-counter whitening products before you have complete examination and evaluation for root sensitivity and root recessions to avoid further damage.

While you may experience some sensitivity during the whitening process and for a brief time afterwards, the sensitivity should fade within one to two days following the procedure.

Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Offers Advice on Selecting the Appropriate Colors for Porcelain Veneers

Posted in beverly hills, beverly hills cosmetic dentist, cosmetic dentist, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, dental bonding, full mouth reconstruction, los angeles, los angeles cosmetic dentist, lumineers, porcelain veneers, smile makeover, tmd, tmj with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 1, 2009 by dranthonymobasser

Patients interested in porcelain veneers often wonder how white the veneers should be.

Teeth are not monochromatic, so using a variety of shades yields a natural look, said Dr. Anthony Mobasser, a Los Angeles dentist who specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry.

Some Background

First let’s address the obvious question and define porcelain veneers.

A porcelain veneer is a thin sheet of porcelain that can be affixed to the surface of a tooth to improve smiles by covering chipped, broken, stained or misshaped teeth. Porcelain is usually thought of as a delicate material, but when bonded to a tooth, it is incredibly strong and durable.

Selecting a Veneer Shade

Mobasser recommends patients undergo a teeth whitening treatment to whiten their natural teeth prior to placing porcelain veneers. Because veneers are extremely thin, a tooth that is dark or deeply stained could provide a shading effect once the veneers are affixed that causes the finished product to be darker than desired.

Why not choose a thicker porcelain veneer?

“The translucency of porcelain veneers gives them the ability to mimic natural tooth enamel and creates a natural appearance,” Mobasser said.

Using more than one color in making the veneers also provides variation and avoids teeth looking fake or artificial. Eye teeth tend to be darker than the others, while front teeth typically are the whitest. Molars most often are a shade between the two.

Another important factor to consider is the surface texture of porcelain veneers, Mobasser said. Adequate texture helps to break up light reflections and make the veneer look more natural.

There is no one standard system in the dental field to measure and determine tooth color, according to (http://www.aboutcosmeticdentistry.com/procedures/tooth_veneers/veneer_color.html) www.aboutcosmeticdentistry.com. The most often heard about, however, is the Vita shade guide. This guide divides tooth color into four basic shade ranges:

A (reddish brown)
B (reddish yellow)
C (gray)
D (reddish gray).

In the A range there are five levels of darkness. Ranges B, C and D each have four levels.

“When I evaluate a patient for porcelain veneers, I am concerned with getting the optimum results,” Mobasser said. “In addition to considering the color of the patient’s natural teeth, I also evaluate their complexion, hair color, and to some extent, their eye color. It is important to me that a feature as dominant as a smile compliments all of their other facial features.”

Porcelain Veneers Change Smiles in Just Two Visits

Posted in beverly hills, cosmetic dentist, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, dental bonding, full mouth reconstruction, los angeles, lumineers, porcelain veneers, tmd, tmj with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 1, 2009 by dranthonymobasser

The numbers say it all: Three out of four adults in the United States believe an unattractive smile can hurt your professional and personal lives. As the saying goes, “Smile and the whole world smiles with you

Uneven, chipped or discolored teeth are the easiest dental flaws to spot. The application of porcelain veneers , however, can replace those flaws with assets.

While no cosmetic dentistry procedure can take the place of good oral and periodontal hygiene, porcelain veneers can give you a youthful and dazzling smile.

A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that fits over any damaged, discolored, or misshaped teeth. There are several advantages to this procedure:

•  The color, translucence and texture of veneers is very similar to your natural tooth enamel.

•  Porcelain is an extremely durable material.

•  It resists staining and isn’t susceptible to decay

•  Veneers can effectively close gaps between your teeth, lengthen and reshape teeth.

Dr. Anthony Mobasser, known as the Aesthetic dentist to the Stars,” will begin by discussing with you the changes you’d like to make in your appearance. He’ll fully explain your various options, the procedure, and its risks and limitations. You’ll also learn about the type of anesthesia required and the details of your fees.

The procedure begins with roughening and shaping your existing teeth, to remove part of the tooth enamel. This allows for a better bonding, while creating room for placement of the veneer.

Once shaping is completed, Dr. Mobasser will take an impression of your teeth, to be used in creating your customized veneers. He also may recommend applying a temporary veneer to protect your teeth until the next step.

At your next appointment, Dr. Mobasser will test your veneers to make sure they are the right fit, size and color. If needed, he may further shape or trim the veneers before the final fitting. He’ll then permanently bond the porcelain veneer to your teeth with a composite-resin cement.

The best candidates for porcelain veneers:

  • Enjoy good oral health
  • Wish to improve their appearance
  • Are fully informed on the procedure’s outcome
  • Have realistic expectations

Dr. Anthony Mobasser’s Porcelain Veneers Technique

Posted in beverly hills, cosmetic dentist, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, full mouth reconstruction, los angeles, lumineers, porcelain veneers, tmd, tmj on June 23, 2009 by dranthonymobasser

World-famous Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser

World-famous Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser

If you want to have a world-class, dazzling, brighter smile that can improve your self-image and self-esteem, then porcelain veneers or dental veneers could be your answer, especially if they are crafted by a talented, artistic cosmetic dentist, who has the eye and knows how to deliver your wants as closely as possible.

Please call Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser at 310.550.0383 or email him at Anthony@celebritydentist.com if you would like to set up an appointment for porcelain veneers.

Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser uses his own special smile evaluation technique called S.M.I.L.E.S. He uses the SMILES technique to correct your smile by fabricating custom made porcelain veneers for each personality type and facial features of the individual. He shares his SMILES technique as the following.

S = size of your tooth in relation to other teeth and your face. He uses Leonardo Da Vinci’s Divine Principle of Proportion to give the ideal size of each individual piece in your smile.

M = midline correction so your two front teeth align with the midline your nose correctly; and this is very essential to the get an ultimate pleasing aesthetic smile, and also prevents canted (uneven) smiles.

I = the inclination of individual teeth if they are properly inclined; the inclination of your 10 front teeth makes the harmonious, pleasing smile.

L = lip line versus the edge of your teeth, and if there is any deficiency present (if not enough teeth show, longer teeth are needed to give a younger- and sexier-looking smile.

E = excellence and expertise, and communication between the patient, Dr. Mobasser, and his master ceramist.

S = your successful outcome to last many years designed by Dr. Mobasser.

Dr. Anthony Mobasser believes that the only measure of success is the ratio between what your smile might have been and what he designed it to be. Dr. Mobasser has designed and delivered over 10,000 successful dental veneers.

In this day and age, cosmetic dentistry technology has evolved and developed many types of new porcelains. Due to technological breakthroughs, many superb and exceptional porcelain veneers have evolved. They are porcelain veneers but with different nano technology that fits each tooth depending on the art form and function of your teeth, which includes the occlusion (bite).

These are the following derivatives: thin veneers, lumineers, Da Vinci veneers, mac veneers, nano veneers, vita veneers, Hollywood veneers, and etc. These veneers are extremely thin, between .3 mm to .5 mm and they require little teeth reduction if the teeth are aligned ideally. These veneers are ideal for change of color and shape in an ideal alignment of teeth in an arch.

However, if there are crowded teeth or overlapped teeth present, depending on the cosmetic dentist’s judgment, the preparation is slightly different and possibly different kinds of veneers are indicated. Dr. Mobasser suggests that you consult him to attain the result that you’re looking for.

Dr. Mobasser designs all his porcelain veneers so they are translucent on the incisal edge and under bright lights or bright sunlight so they look lifelike and natural-they are never opaque or unnatural looking. Dr. Mobasser is an artist in his own right and this procedure can take 10 years off your appearance. He is in the business of turning back the clock and raising self-esteem, and most of his business is built on referrals. He believes the commitment to continual improvement in the field of cosmetic dentistry is the key to reaching patients’ potential and being successful.

Porcelain veneers or dental veneers can improve a variety of smile problems and give you a healthierand brighter smile. Porcelain veneers usually take two visits, laboratory fabricated are custom-made, wafer thin shells, crafted by ceramicists in a laboratory, and bonded to the teeth using bonding adhesives.

As with resin bonding procedures, veneers are attached directly to the teeth. When you come in for a dental veneer treatment, the teeth are treated with a mild conditioning solution. Prior to placing the veneer, a liquid bonding material is applied, which permanently holds the veneer in place, achieving a very natural, cosmetic look.

Some have called porcelain veneers the cosmetic dentistry solution of the decade, and there is a lot of evidence to back up such a claim. With veneers, Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser can turn a broken mouth into a healthy, aesthetically pleasing masterpiece.

Please call Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser at 310.550.0383 or email him at Anthony@celebritydentist.com if you would like to set up an appointment for porcelain veneers.

You don’t have to live with gap teeth

Gap teeth are a matter of personal preference. Some people think gap teeth add character to their smile. Some think gaps are unattractive. However, Dr. Mobasser has an artistic eye regarding gaps between the teeth. Sometimes he closes the gaps, sometimes he doesn’t. Dr. Mobasser works extremely closely with the patient and together they decide whether to leave some small gaps in the smile or not, because sometimes they’re sexy.

But, gap teeth can be difficult to live with. Some find themselves covering their mouth when they laugh or smile as a way to hide gaps or crooked teeth. However, patients with gap teeth can turn to porcelain veneers to straighten, fill in, and beautify their smile. Dr. Mobasser, with his skilled team of ceramicists and dental technicians, has transformed thousands of smiles by artistically applying veneers to patients with gaps in their teeth.

On the other hand, Bonding is done with composite resins to close gaps to fix chipped teeth, to cover discoloration and to replace the traditional silver fillings in front or back teeth. Bonding can be done for the decayed teeth, spaces or gaps, broken or chipped teeth, stained or discolored teeth, with or without anesthesia with minimal or no discomfort.

After porcelain veneers, patients can experience a boost in confidence, helping to present a strong professional image and presence. Patients also report looking and feeling younger, knowing that they have a bright, healthy smile.

If you have tetracycline staining…

Tetracycline stains are resistant to bleaching and whitening. Porcelain veneers, however, are an excellent option if your teeth are stained from this antibiotic. Veneers, porcelain laminates, are resistant to staining, even from coffee, tea, tobacco products, red wine and other stain-causing consumables, and can last a lifetime. Dr. Mobasser has many patients who are still enjoying the benefits of his artistic porcelain veneers after more than 20 years.

How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist

Posted in beverly hills, cosmetic dentist, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, full mouth reconstruction, los angeles, lumineers, porcelain veneers with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 4, 2009 by dranthonymobasser

“The shortest distance between two people is a smile.” – Anonymous

How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist

Your smile is a self-confidence and emotional booster. A perfect smile can not only affect your self-esteem, but also how people perceive you, both personally and professionally. When you choose to improve your appearance through cosmetic dentistry, it is absolutely essential to choose a skilled, artistic cosmetic dentist who can bring out the best in your smile. In fact, cosmetic dentistry performed by an expert cosmetic dentist can take 10 years off your appearance and make you more complete.

So, how do you find the right cosmetic dentist?

You should choose your cosmetic dentist based on his or her training, education, confidence, and how many years he or she has been practicing cosmetic dentistry. Also, you should become informed about how often the doctor performs the specific procedure you want. As an added precaution, you should investigate whether your cosmetic dentist has claims against him or her with respect to the procedure you are considering or with respect to other cosmetic dentistry treatment.

The Consultation

When you visit your cosmetic dentist for a consultation, you should ask the following questions:

1. How long have you been performing this specific cosmetic procedure?
2. How many times have you performed this procedure? How many in the past year?
3. What are the pros and cons for this procedure?
4. What are the risks and benefits of this procedure?
5. Are there any other options I may have?
6. How many of your patients had to redo, revise, or correct this procedure again?
7. May I review before and after pictures?
8. Do I have any choices regarding performing the procedure via IV sedation, oral sedation, or with the help of an anesthesiologist so I do not feel anything?
9. May I talk with patients of yours who have had the same procedure as the one I’m interested in?
10. Do you have your own master ceramist and do you do custom work on the color and shape of this specific procedure?
11. Are my gums in satisfactory health before I start this cosmetic procedure? (Periodontal disease can compromise the final outcome of any cosmetic procedure!)
12. How many visits and how much time are required to complete this procedure?
13. Are there any further costs besides the costs of the procedure itself
14. How do I maintain my cosmetic dentistry investment?
15. Are there any compromises as far as my dental health (my roots, my gums, and my bone) that I should be aware of?

When you visit for a consultation, also inquire about the methods and technology of your cosmetic dentist. Make sure your cosmetic dentist is accumulating all the necessary diagnostic records before presenting you with a treatment plan. There is no substitute for having all the information related to your oral cavity. Any shortcuts can lead to improper treatment and a less-than-perfect outcome. Dr. Anthony Mobasser’s record-taking includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Comprehensive examination including your periodontal pocket
• Complete full-mouth X-rays
• Complete diagnostic impressions with study casts
• Complete bite analysis
• Intra-oral photos of your teeth showing your teeth’s original color, any rotations, any asymmetry on your teeth and the gums, any grinding, and the comparison ratios of the size of your teeth.

The above is necessary to present the patient with an ideal cosmetic treatment. Besides these diagnostics, Dr. Mobasser goes through a 20-point checklist and uses Leonardo Da Vinci’s Principle of Divine Proportion to analyze ideal teeth ratios and giving the patient a harmonious smile.. An excellent cosmetic dentist is also one who takes into consideration your lips and gums as well as your teeth when analyzing your complete smile.

You can also ask your cosmetic dentist, if possible, to provide you with a mockup. A mockup is a temporary, in-office example of how your smile will look after your procedure (Dr. Mobasser usually uses bonding material to show his patients how their final porcelain veneers might look). For a fee, you can even request a full-mouth diagnostic wax-up of your teeth and your bite. Dr. Anthony Mobasser believes that you should not pick your cosmetic dentist by price only. The old cliché applies: you get what you pay for. Dr. Mobasser believes that if you get the smile you want, then the positive outcome is priceless.

Your cosmetic dentist should share with you, in detail, the results of the diagnosis and treatment plan. If you have any questions, your cosmetic dentist should be able to answer them satisfactorily, in order to provide the best possible treatment.

American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry

When looking for a cosmetic dentist to transform your smile, make sure you pick one who is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). The AACD accepts as members only those dentists who have met a standard of excellence in education, training, and ethics. AACD-accredited dentists must also pass a rigorous examination before acceptance in the academy.
World-class cosmetic dentists also keep up on their education. When considering a cosmetic dentist, ask about his or her training, where they received their degrees, what seminars they attend or lecture, and what articles they publish.

Please see Dr. Mobasser’s published articles.

Referrals

Referrals are an excellent method of finding an artistic cosmetic dentist. A first-hand account of the dentist’s chair-side manner, artistic capability, and knowledge of the field is an invaluable testimonial to the dentist’s quality and ability. Also, find out what patient comforts are provided.

At Dr. Mobasser’s Los Angeles cosmetic dentistry practice, patients can request a variety of comforts to make the visit more pleasing and relaxing. For patients who don’t like to sit in a crowded waiting room, they can request to be the only patient Dr. Mobasser sees that day. This kind of personal attention is what makes Dr. Mobasser a world-renowned cosmetic dentist, with patients from Asia, Europe, Africa, and other far-flung corners of the globe flying in especially for his unique brand of patient care.

Before and After Photos

Before and after photos are powerful examples of the cosmetic dentist’s work. When consulting with a cosmetic dentist, be sure to look at the patient “before and after” photos. Reputable dentists will have a collection of before and after photos, showcasing their talent and work history. Also, be sure to look at photos of patients who have undergone the procedure you are considering. Look for the dentist’s attention to detail and artistic abilities. If you are impressed with the results you see, then you will most likely be impressed with your own final outcome.

World-famous Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser

Dr. Anthony Mobasser has practiced cosmetic dentistry, full-mouth reconstruction, porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, and a host of other dental treatments in Los Angeles for 29 years. Over that time, Dr. Mobasser has perfected his dental technique to create beautiful smiles for countless celebrities. They trust him to give them the absolute best in cosmetic dentistry because they know he cares about every smile as if it were his own.

Health First

What makes him stand out as a cosmetic dentist is that he does comprehensive records to come up with a unique diagnosis of the patient first before designing his treatment plan. For instance, if the gums are infected or have periodontal or gum disease, then he will not perform cosmetic dentistry until the gums are healthy. Cosmetic dentistry in an unhealthy mouth can lead to recurrent cavities, loose teeth, weak roots, and an unbalanced occlusion, or bite.

Dentists who perform cosmetic dentistry without making sure the patient’s dental health is good run the risk of complications and failure of the final outcome. That’s why, as a Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Mobasser makes sure his patients dental health is good before any cosmetic procedures are done.

What Makes a Perfect Smile

When he looks at a patient’s mouth, he can envision the final smile he wants to create and knows what needs to be done. Symmetry and tooth color, the angle of the teeth, and shape is tremendously important. He checks for symmetry with the gum line and the lip to see what the cosmetic smile will look like. Balanced occlusion or bite is tremendously to the final outcome of the case.

Other elements of a pleasing smile could include the following:

  • For a younger smile outcome, do the two front teeth have central dominance, meaning they stand out a little more than the rest of the teeth?
  • When smiling, upper teeth must be parallel to the lower lip line.
  • On the sides of the smile, there should be no black (empty) spaces when the person smiles.
  • All together, Dr. Mobasser has a 21-point checklist to gauge the smile and craft a treatment plan that takes a person’s unique measurements into consideration, for the final outcome.

    His Profession

    Cosmetic dentistry, to Dr. Mobasser, is more than just perfecting someone’s smile. Dr. Mobasser considers the opportunity to turn a mediocre smile into a dazzling smile gives him the pleasure and an energy boost to work harder to create more joy and happiness for his patients.

    A healthy mouth increases a person’s esteem and makes them feel good about themselves and have more joy in their life.

    “I helped one patient with her smile 22 years ago, and when I see her today, I take tremendous satisfaction that she is still happy with the results of my work,” Dr. Mobasser said. “That’s what I love about my profession as a cosmetic dentist. I know that when I see someone’s smile, I know that their life has changed for the better. I love what I do.”
