Damaged and missing teeth are problems for millions of Americans each year. However, with packed calendars it is harder to find the time to schedule the multiple appointments needed to address these dental problems. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a Cosmetic Dentist and dental restoration specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., has found a convenient solution by offering his patients same-day dental crowns and dental implant procedures.

"New advances in dental technology have made crown and dental implant procedures faster than ever before. We are now able to offer our patients the best in dental restorations in Beverly Hills without the need for multiple appointments," said Dr. Maddahi.

Traditional dental implant procedures could take months to complete. With the addition of the Galileos Implant technology by Sirona, Dr. Maddahi is able complete a dental implant procedure on the same day. During a planning appointment, Dr. Maddahi takes a 360-degree scan of the patient's mouth and jaw in a few minutes. These 3-D images are used to create a dental model and develop the necessary dental surgical stents for the implant procedure.

At the implant appointment, Dr. Maddahi uses the surgical stents to precisely place the dental implant posts. A temporary crown is placed over the implant post allowing the patient to leave the office with a new smile. When the implants have fused to the bone properly, Dr. Maddahi will place the permanent crowns.

A crown procedure no longer means several dental appointments. The procedure is easier than ever at Dr. Maddahi's with same-day dental crowns using the Cerec System. With digital impressions and 3-D images, Dr. Maddahi designs a dental crown right in the office then an in-office milling machine sculpts the crown to his meticulous standards in a matter of minutes. The permanent crown then is ready to be fitted and cemented into place. The whole process is completed in just a few hours.

Dr. Maddahi graduated from UCLA and the University of Southern California Dental School. He has practiced dentistry in Beverly Hills for more than 22 years. His office is located at 436 N. Roxbury Dr., Suite 202, Beverly Hills, Calif., 90210. For more information, visit www.drmaddahi.com.
