Your smile is the first thing people notice, so it’s not surprising that most people would like to fix or change something about it. Whether it’s whiter teeth, replacing old dental fillings, or changing the size and shape of one or more teeth, fixing dental imperfections is a priority for many Americans.
At the Center for Implant & Esthetic Dentistry in Beverly Hills, California, our periodontist Dr. Ramin Mahallati and our cosmetic dentistry team offer a range of services to help you achieve a perfect smile.

Many cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures overlap, and your cosmetic dental issues may be caused by or connected to an oral health problem that needs to be addressed. In other cases, you may have to get a restorative dentistry procedure before you get your cosmetic procedure. Certain oral health issues may affect the type of cosmetic procedure that works best for you.
Oral health problems like cavities or gum disease are usually treated before moving ahead with your cosmetic procedure. If you’re experiencing tooth loss, dental implants are a great option to address the accompanying oral health and cosmetic problem of missing teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry is often referred to as an art as well as a science, so you’ll want to look for a dentist with the best dental technology and a solid track record of experience.
The most common restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedures include:
At your consultation, Dr. Mahallati will perform a comprehensive dental exam and discuss your options depending on your oral health and the improvements you’d like to make to your smile.
