Dental Fillings

The dental cavity is prepared with the dental hand-piece. A shade of dental composite resin restorative material particularly used in Beverly Hills dentistry is chosen to match the existing tooth. The tooth is then treated and cleaned with a special chemical. Layers of liquid bond are placed between the tooth and the dental composite resin. The dental composite resin is then shaped cured (set) and polished. In this Beverly Hills dental practice, restoring the form, function and aesthetics leaves the tooth ‘looking like new’.

Dental Crowns

A wide variety of crowns are available to replace lost tooth structure, restore shape and form, and improve appearance and function. These range from metal to porcelain based, and from cemented to adhesively bonded

Inlays and Onlays

Tooth colored restorations can also be constructed in a laboratory. The cavity is prepared in the same way as a composite resin filling and a dental impression is taken. The technician then constructs a tooth colored ‘filling’ which is then bonded into place. These types of restorations are particularly useful when too much of the tooth structure has been lost and a conventional filling is not possible

Dental Bridges

To replace missing teeth with minimum intervention and to prevent unsightly spacing, unwanted tooth movement, gum problems and occlusal interferences; which can result in jaw problems and migraines. These are fixed in the mouth.

Root Canal Treatment

Sometimes for a tooth to be saved, root canal is required. This involves cleaning, shaping and filling the root canals which are multiple and complex in nature. Dr. Aurasteh works closely with an endodontist (specialist) to ensure that you are given the best treatment possible.

Dental Extractions

The last choice of treatment, as our primary aim is to prevent tooth loss and maintain dental health. However sometimes this is unavoidable. When we extract a tooth we aim to preserve as much of the surrounding bone as possible to prevent unsightly healing, enabling a good aesthetic result when restoring the missing tooth.

Dentures / Partials

To replace missing teeth and associated soft/hard tissue Dentures and Partial Dentures can be used. Acrylic/chrome, partial and full dentures are options. These are removable. Advanced laboratory technology allows for these removable prosthetics to appear close to natural.

Porcelain Crowns

If you are a patient of a Beverly Hills dentist, you can expect the best when it comes to porcelain crowns. These crowns are similar to porcelain veneers. The main difference is that they cover the whole tooth. They can cover problems such as lost fillings, cracking, fracturing, and root canals. The potential spans much further these are just a few things that porcelain crowns can be used for. Many people choose to place them on decayed teeth, or those that are unattractive due to discoloration. Your dentist will do a full evaluation and let you know where crowns may be best placed for your individual needs.

Your Beverly Hills dentist will explain what happens during the procedure when porcelain crowns are being placed. An initial impression of your teeth will be taken. The crown will then be tailored to fit your tooth. Due to the fact that they have an impression of your teeth, the match will be virtually perfect. Color matching will then be performed to match the color of the rest of your teeth. You will receive attention from only the best of dental labs to get your tooth color just right.

Bonding
With bonding, the process of repairing teeth has been revolutionized.  Now a tooth can be formed simply by applying moldable resin composite to the remaining tooth structure.  This helps rebuild the tooth to its original shape. Bonding or chairside hand-carved dental veneers is an ideal solution to many dental problems.

• Closing small spaces
• Covering small stains
• Repairing small fractures
• Treating sensitive teeth
• Lightening tooth shade

The Bonding process can be carried out in 1 appointment and often without the need for local anesthetic.
