<span class="s1">If you are scheduled to have oral surgery for any reason, chances are your mouth will be very tender and uncomfortable post-surgery. Aside from limiting your physical activity and finding methods to decrease the pain, you will also need to alter your diet. If your surgery was very invasive, you may have to change your diet for a few days up to a week, depending on the type of work done. Understanding the proper way to eat following your surgery will help your recovery as well as your overall health.</span></div>

<span class="s1"><b>Immediately After Surgery</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Typically, immediately after oral surgery you will be unable to eat any type of food until the bleeding subsides. Once the bleeding has stopped, the type of diet that you can consume will depend on the work that was done on your mouth, but typically you will be restricted to a liquid or soft foods diet. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Liquid Diet</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
If you are required to stay on a liquid diet, you should consume foods, such as:</div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Clear liquids, such as apple juice, water or any other non-acidic juices</li>
<li>Jell-O</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Clear broth</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Soft Foods</b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">If you have been cleared to eat soft foods, there are many foods to choose from that have nutritional value. Try to choose those that offer the most nutritional benefits in order to provide your mouth and health with the appropriate nutrients as you heal. A few of the most common foods to consume include:</span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Oatmeal</li>
<li>Scrambled eggs</li>
<li>Yogurt smoothies</li>
<li>Soup</li>
<li>Bananas, cut into pieces</li>
<li>Soft pasta</li>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">If you wake up with a sore jaw, have chronic headaches or even have fractured teeth, you might be grinding your teeth without even realizing it. Most people are not aware of the fact that they grind (or brux) their teeth until they <a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=cosmetic-dentist-Beverly-Hills-CA-Dr-Giri-Palani&C=303&P=2703" target="_blank">see their dentist </a>who can pinpoint the symptoms. If you have been told that you are grinding your teeth, you might find yourself wondering why. Of course every case is different, but there are a few reasons that commonly occur.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b>Stress</b> – If you are under a lot of stress it can come out at night. When your muscles clench, it is a natural reaction to grind your teeth. </li>
<li><b>Mouth Irritations</b> – Whether it is teeth that do not line up perfectly, or another dental issue occurring in your mouth, you could end up grinding your teeth together at night to deal with the irritation.</li>
<li><b>Allergies or Colds</b> – If you are uncomfortable from allergies or a cold, you might grind your teeth at night to deal with the discomfort.</li>
<li><b>New Dental Work</b> - If you've recently had a filling or crown placed, your teeth may not line up anymore, and your mouth will constantly be adjusting to find the right "bite" again resulting in grinding.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">There are several ways to deal with bruxism, including <a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=cosmetic-dentist-Beverly-Hills-CA-Dr-Giri-Palani&C=303&P=2703" target="_blank">visiting your dentist </a>to get fitted for a mouth guard. If you prefer to do something less drastic, you can try including relaxation methods into your daily routine and find ways to manage your allergies to avoid chronic grinding. Unfortunately, if you are subjected to grinding your teeth, you might not be able to prevent it from occurring 100 percent, but decreasing the amount of time that it occurs can help your overall dental health.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The stop smoking campaigns are ubiquitous, but these campaigns advertise primarily the risk of lung cancer and heart disease. What is not often talked about, but should be are the effects smoking has to your oral health. A few of the risks include <a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=cosmetic-dentist-Beverly-Hills-CA-Oral-Cancer-Screening&C=303&P=2682" target="_blank">oral cancer</a>, diminished ability to taste and smell, gum disease and complicated recovery from oral health issues. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Dealing with Disease</b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Aside from cancer, gum (periodontal) disease is one of the top concerns of smoking. Tobacco interferes with cell function and nicotine restricts blood vessels, interfering with the body’s ability to heal. It can leave you more susceptible to contracting gum disease, or could make it more difficult to overcome a bacterial infection in your mouth, causing you to experience unnecessary complications.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Recovering from Dental Procedures</b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Many people have difficulty recovering from dental procedures, especially if their immune system is compromised. This is exactly what occurs when a person smokes. The body becomes less able to repair itself after trauma, including surgery on the mouth. This leaves your <a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=cosmetic-dentist-Beverly-Hills-CA-Preventive-Dentistry&C=303&P=2658" target="_blank">gums at risk for infection </a>or at the very least, leaves you unable to eat, talk or smile normally for an extended period of time.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The best way to save yourself from the risk of serious illness or complications is to quit smoking. Before you start a smoking cessation program, you should have proper support in place to help you through the difficult time. Your dental professional Dr. Giri Palani can counsel you and/or prescribe medication to help with smoking cessation. As you begin to eliminate tobacco from your life, remind yourself of the positive impact you will be making on your physical and oral health as a result. </span></div>

<span class="s1">The largest risk to your mouth during your pregnancy is the risk of gingivitis and gum (periodontal) disease. The hormones that are created to keep your baby safe can put you at higher risk for pregnancy- induced gingivitis. If you don’t already have gum disease, this condition is usually temporary, and usually appears between the second to eighth month of pregnancy. Keep up with your home care by brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily, as well as getting your professional cleanings. There has been some studies linking gum disease to premature births, so <a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=cosmetic-dentist-Beverly-Hills-CA-Dr-Giri-Palani&C=303&P=2703" target="_blank">speak to your dentist</a> about what you can do to if you have gum disease and reducing your risk of complications. </span></div>

Whether you choose to make this a part of your morning or evening routine is up to you; it is how you floss that is important.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>The Importance of Flossing</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Flossing is the only way to get the debris that settles between your teeth as well as any bacteria. If food is left to settle, it turns into plaque and is a job that only your dentist can handle. Even extreme amounts of brushing your teeth will not effectively get rid of all of the debris between your teeth, which is why flossing is so important.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Choose Your Favorites</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">There is no hard and fast rule about the type of floss that you must use; whatever feels good to you is what you will be the most likely to use on a daily basis. You can choose between waxed and unwaxed floss and various interdental cleaners to get in between your teeth. The interdental cleaners can be brushes or sticks that easily get between your teeth.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Look for the ADA Seal</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The best products to purchase are those that have the ADA seal on them. These products tend to be safer to use in your mouth as well as the most effective at removing debris, bacteria and plaque. Each product will have a reason for the ADA seal, which will help you decide which product you are most comfortable using with your daily brushing and flossing routine. </span></div>

It is important to know the facts when it comes to chewing gum, however, because not all gum is created equal. In order to receive the oral health benefits, the gum should be both sugarless and approved by the ADA as is signified on the packaging. Another great benefit of gum that has xylitol added is that it can help prevent cavities as well.</div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>How is Gum Good for you?</b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Research shows that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes after your meal can help to prevent tooth decay. This is possible because of the increase in the production of saliva that gum produces. The more saliva that is in your mouth, the more food residue and bacteria that gets washed away, instead of staying on your teeth and causing tooth decay. In addition, it helps to remove the acids that are on your teeth as a result of eating acidic foods. Too much acid can cause the enamel on your teeth to break down, which is another culprit in tooth decay as well as sensitive teeth.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>Brushing is Still Necessary</b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Even though chewing sugarless gum is good for you, it does not mean that you do not need to brush and floss. You should still be brushing your teeth at least twice per day and flossing at least once. This will help ensure food particles and bacteria that are stuck between your teeth and in hard to reach places are removed, reducing the risk of tooth decay. </span></div>

The dangers of eating disorders are fairly widely known, but one aspect that is not as well-known is its danger to a person’s oral health. Dental health is highly dependent on the nutrition that the body receives. When a person suffers from an eating disorder, they are not providing their body with the required nutrients, which could result in swollen or bleeding gums, dry gums as a result of a lack of saliva being produced and damaged tooth enamel as a result of chronic vomiting.</div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">It does not matter if you suffer from anorexia or bulimia; your teeth are at risk. In addition to talking to your doctor in order to get help to overcome the disorder, you need to stay in close contact with your <b><a href="http://www.drpalani.com/" target="_blank">Beverly Hills dentist</a></b> and it is vital that you practice proper oral health.

You brush your teeth at least twice a day and even floss at night before going to bed. You are practicing proper dental hygiene right? Not quite yet. You are forgetting an important aspect of dental hygiene, caring for your toothbrushes. If you are not replacing your brushes at least every 3-4 months, you could be exposing your mouth to harmful bacteria. This bacteria could come from your own mouth as well as the environment that your toothbrush is stored.</div>
<div class="p4">

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>After Brushing</b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Always rinse your toothbrush with warm water and let it thoroughly dry. Try to keep other toothbrushes separate from yours or at the very least, facing away from one another. It is very important that you leave toothbrushes free to dry and avoid covering them, as that is how mold and bacteria grow, in dark, damp places. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>Watch for Wear and Tear</b></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Watch your brushes very closely for wear and tear. Typical use will cause most brushes to last between 3 and 4 months. If you brush harder than normal or more often, you might have to replace your brushes sooner. Simply check the bristles to see if they look worn down. If you do not replace them, they will not effectively clean your teeth, leaving you at risk for debris, bacteria and plaque. In addition, if you become ill, you should replace your toothbrushes when you are well again, to avoid contaminating yourself with the germs once again. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Recently, the <i>National Dental
Practice-Based Research Network</i> conducted a 24-month study to
evaluate the long-term effects of amalgam and resin-based composite
restorations. For decades, many dentists were leery of using
composite resin for restorations, claiming that they often left open
contact areas, pits and voids, tooth preparation margins and
postoperative tooth sensitivity. However, there were problems with
amalgam as well, including <i>“difficulty in making tight contact
areas, over-carving potential, overhanging amalgam material and
postoperative sensitivity”. </i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(Ref. 1)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Dental amalgam consists of a
combination of mercury, silver, tin and copper. As a result, the
finished product’s silvery color fails to take on the natural
aesthetics of a living tooth. The closer the amalgam is to the front
of the mouth, the more noticeable the silver color can be. Although
many people have shown concern about the risks in mercury, it poses
no threat when combined with the other dental material. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(Ref. 2)
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In the study, there was no conclusive
evidence that favored the longevity of either resin-based composites,
which blend in with the natural tooth and are more pleasing to the
eye, or amalgam fillings. Instead, the variables that determined
restorative longevity include age, sex, number and size of surfaces,
and practice workload. Researchers suggest that clinicians should try
to recognize risk factors on an individual basis in order to promote
longevity. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(Ref. 3)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>While <a href="http://www.drpalani.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Palani </a>would
suggest replacing the silver amalgam with the more
aesthetically-pleasing composite filling, the most desirable answer
is to prevent the need for <i>any</i> fillings with daily brushing,
flossing and routine cleanings. Our goal is to help our patients prevent the need for restorative care with professional exams and cleanings; providing you with a true Beautiful Smile!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you are preparing for
a filling, root canal, crown, tooth extraction, or other dental
procedure, you now have an option to relieve your dental anxiety. At <a href="http://www.drpalani.com/" target="_blank">Total SmileCare in Beverly Hills</a>, there are several options available
to our patients for relief of pain and anxiety during routine dental visits.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Conscious, or moderate sedation, allows
patients to remain awake during dental procedures. Patients are able
to interact with their dentists but do not feel any discomfort or
pain. Moderate sedation can also help patients avoid more severe side
effects of general anesthesia such as nausea, headache, vertigo and
long-term drowsiness. This form of sedation generally causes the patient to not remember anything about their dental appointment other than a pleasant experience.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
One of the most
common forms of non-IV sedation is Nitrous Oxide, known as 'laughing gas'. Patients of all ages can use Nitrous Oxide with minimal to no side effects.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Make sure you tell <a href="http://www.drpalani.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Palani</a> about
any drug allergies or dependencies, existing prescriptions or
over-the-counter drug use, medical conditions, changes in your
health, history of anxiety, heart conditions or alcohol use before
undergoing treatment. You and your Beverly Hills dental team will discuss the benefits
and risks of each option. We will work with you to make sure you have
a pain-free, anxiety-free, comfortable experience.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-size: small;">In contemporary
society, it might be shocking to know that <i>“</i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en"><i>69%
of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an
accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay.” </i>By the

original teeth left.</span></span></span><br />

so many people losing teeth </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en">and
with our current dip in the economy, many people cannot afford the
cost of implants and so go either without their teeth or with the
less favorable option of bridges or dentures. Yet dental implants are
the most desirable of all teeth-replacement options: they look
natural, last virtually forever, do not cause pain, discomfort and
bad breath and are permanent. Unlike dentures and bridges, implants
do not sit on top of the gums or adhere to adjacent teeth. Instead,
<b><a href="http://www.drpalani.com/" target="_blank">your dental implant expert, Dr. Giri Palani</a></b>, places them inside the jawbone, making them a natural,
long-term replacement for teeth. </span></span></span>

</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en">there is an alternate
solution for those who need implants but cannot afford the cost. With
a moderate-term, esthetic provisional, patients would be able to
preserve their implant site and have the benefit of a temporary
replacement tooth. Using computer-aided design and manufacturing,
dentists can digitally create temporary implants for a fraction of
the cost of permanent ones. The result, produced by a milling
machine, is almost as strong as gold. </span></span></span>

you believe that frozen yogurt is better for your health than

your diet, it is not good for your teeth</span></span>. Frozen yogurt
contains a variety of sugars that can lead to tooth decay.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Contained within the ingredients of
frozen yogurt resides evaporated cane juice.
Evaporated cane juice is another form of sugar, and should never be referred to as
a "healthy" sugar. Both contain molasses, but evaporated cane juice has
a somewhat lower percentage.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Regardless of the types of sugar you
eat, when you consume food containing sugar you are putting yourself at risk of getting cavities. Sugar is a leading contributor to dental decay which can lead to other dental diseases. Don't feel like you need to eliminate frozen yogurt all together, but realize that the "health benefits" of frozen yogurt also include risks to your dental health.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Everyone knows that choosing a
dentist is important, but dental care outside of our dental office is equally important. If you put a lot of thought into your teeth,
finding the best toothbrush is just as important as finding the best
dentist. Both have a huge impact on your smile, so it is best to
get it right.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
The days of the simple nylon
bristled toothbrushes have long gone, and now we have electrical
powered toothbrushes, in addition to disposable toothbrushes.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Size matters when you are choosing a
toothbrush. You need to find a toothbrush head that is one-inch tall,
and half inch wide. Next you will need to browse the bristle
varieties. Soft bristles are more popular, because they are
comfortable. If you are a heavy brusher, you will want to avoid hard
or medium bristle brushes, because the heavy brushing can cause
damage to your mouth.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Heavy brushers who use a medium or
hard bristle brush are more likely to damage their:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Protective Tooth Enamel</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Gums</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Root Surface
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Parents should purchase a soft
bristle brush with a small head for children.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Before you place that toothbrush in
your shopping cart, look over the recommendations. You do not want to
purchase a toothbrush that has not been tested for safety, regardless
of how expensive – or cheap – it is. Fancy toothbrushes may be
the most stylish, but they may not be the best. If you do not see a Seal
of Approval from the American Dental Association, we don't recommend purchasing it.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
When you suffer from a tooth abscess,
you will suffer, literally. The pain from the bacteria infection is
often severe, and it can keep you from getting a good night’s
sleep, in addition to stopping you from completing work at the office
during the day. You could fall victim to a tooth abscess at any time,
so it is best to be prepared in case it happens.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
When you have a tooth cavity, it can
cause an infection, known as an abscess. When bacteria grows a pus
pocket will form. There is no specific region where an abscess can
occur.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
There are various symptoms that can
alert you that a tooth abscess has arrived. Some of those signs
include:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Red Face and Mouth</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Swelling</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Tenderness</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Gum Inflammation</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Pus Drainage</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Pain…and lots of it.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
You can rinse your mouth out with
warm water if you are suffering from a dental abscess. To treat the
pain, you can purchase naproxen or ibuprofen, but these
anti-inflammatory medicines will provide a small – if any –
amount of relief. The pain may stop temporarily, but the infection is
still alive and well. You will need to consult with a dentist as soon
as possible to treat your infection, and get you back to work, and
resting without issue during the night.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
Keep in mind that if a tooth abscess
goes untreated, it could lead to a more severe dental issue. This
condition can spread, and cause you to become extremely ill. </div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Dental researchers have determined a relationship between oral health habits and dementia. </span>According to a <a href="http://www.ada.org/news/8091.aspx" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">University of California study</span></a>, oral health habits may affect whether a person develops dementia later in life. Researchers measured oral health habits of residents of a Laguna Hills, CA retirement community between 1992 and 2010. They followed 5,468 adults with no previous diagnosis of dementia age and a median age of 81 and determined that participants who reported brushing their teeth less than once per day had up to a 65 percent greater risk of developing dementia than those who brushed three times daily.<br />
<br />
Research has already shown a relationship between periodontal disease, heart disease, and diabetes. More and more we are learning that oral health is necessary for overall health and wellness. Dr. Giri Palani recommends a twice yearly professional cleaning and exam to ensure that you are maintaining your oral health. For our patients who have periodontal disease, we may recommend up to four visits per year to keep your dental disease in check.<br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Gum disease starts with gingivitis</span>;</b> an inflammation of the gums (gingiva). It occurs when bacteria creates plaque and the plaque develops under the gumline on the roots of the teeth. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress into the more serious periodontitis which can eventually lead to a loss of teeth.</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Patients with gingivitis will have red and puffy gums, and they generally will bleed during brushing and dental exams. Many times gingivitis can be treated simply with better oral hygiene - longer and more frequent brushing and daily flossing. Signs and symptoms of gingivitis may include:</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Dr. Giri Palani and his hygienist check for symptoms of gingivitis at your regular cleaning and exams, and will remove any buildup of calculus (hardened plaque) around the gumline so that gums can remain healthy.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><a href="http://www.dentalimplants.com/" target="_blank">Implant dentistry</a> merges art and experience with science to create naturally functioning replacement teeth. A dental implant serves as a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once placed. Implants are made of titanium, which has a special property of fusing to bone. This fusion is called “osseointegration” and is the basis of dental implant success. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. </span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When teeth are lost, the bone that supported those roots is lost too. Placing implants stabilizes this bone, and prevents bone loss. Implants help maintain the jawbone’s shape, and supports the overal facial structure of the skeleton. Dental implants help you eat, chew, talk; all in a completely natural fashion. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><b><a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Rancho-Palos-Verdes-CA-Implants&C=305&P=2080" target="_blank">Are Dental Implants for you?</a></b></span></span><br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>1 - Composite bonding:</b> Using tooth colored composite material, your dentist can apply this to the surface of the tooth to repair chipped, broken, discolored, or decayed teeth.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>2 - Composite fillings:</b> These fillings are tooth colored and require less tooth removal than traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Many people choose to have their amalgam (silver) fillings replaced with composite for a more natural look.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b>3 - Dental Veneers:</b> Composite or porcelain veneers are adhesively bonded to the anterior (front) of the tooth to repair chips and cracks, or to correct severe tooth discoloration. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Did you know that the average adult between the ages of 20 and 64 is estimated to have three or more decayed or missing teeth? Your dental care and oral health are necessary to maintaining your overall health and wellness. Untreated dental disease in decaying teeth can lead to more serious health issues, including infection or damage to your bones and nerves. <a href="http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/adults-40-60/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Learn more about preventive dental disease</span></a></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">If you are missing one or more teeth, or have teeth that need to be removed, there are many ways to restore your oral health and your beautiful smile. At <b>Total SmileCare</b>, <b>Dr. Giri Palani </b>offers several dental methods to restore your smile.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><b>Dental Bridges </b>- your existing teeth are literally used to build a bridge to cross the area where your tooth is missing. Bridges can be a good option for people that have areas of decay on the adjacent teeth to the missing area, since bridges can be more invasive for surrounding teeth. <a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Rancho-Palos-Verdes-CA-Bridges&C=305&P=2099" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Learn more about dental bridges.</span></a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><b>Dental Implants </b>- implants are a great option for restoring missing teeth. Dental implants set into the jawbone (to mimic the tooth's root) and a natural looking porcelain crown is placed. Implants act like a natural tooth and are a beautiful addition to your smile. <a href="http://www.cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Rancho-Palos-Verdes-CA-Implants&C=305&P=2080" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Are dental implants right for you?</span></a></span><br />

<td class="TParticle" valign="top">CEREC® is an advanced dental
technology that is utilized for the restoration of decayed, cracked, or chipped
teeth. CEREC® can create full crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. The CEREC®
machine crafts a restoration in a matter of minutes, and these restorations are
made of compressed porcelain. It is for this reason that they are stronger than
laboratory restorations, which are layered porcelain. The most beneficial
feature of receiving a CEREC® restoration is that it is accomplished in one
visit. In addition to the benefit of a one visit restoration, there is no
uncomfortable impression material to bite on or temporary to
wear.</td></tr>

<br id="b11" /><b>Procedure</b> <br id="b11" />The
procedure for placement of a CEREC® restoration is very simple. The first step
is to remove all decay from the tooth. The doctor will then shape the tooth in
preparation to take a digital picture. The tooth is then sprayed with a very
fine powder. This allows the digital camera to take an acceptable image. Once
this image is captured, the tooth will appear on a computer screen in 3D. This
will allow the doctor to design the restoration right in front of you. Once the
design is completed, the CEREC® will mill the restoration. This step takes
approximately 15 minutes. You can actually watch this process if you would like.
When the restoration is finished milling, the doctor will place the restoration.
The entire process should take just over an hour.<br />

Read belowf or some of our frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry.</span></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I don’t like my teeth or my smile – what can I do?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A wide variety of options are available to improve tooth function and how your smile looks. Check out our <strong><a href="http://cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Rancho-Palos-Verdes-CA-Cosmetic-Dental-Services&C=305&P=2940" target="_blank">“Cosmetic Procedures”</a></strong> section to see how other patients with similar problems were helped, and </span><a href="http://cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Rancho-Palos-Verdes-CA-Contact-Us&C=305&P=2098" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">call our office</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> in Beverly Hills, CA to get started on your new smile.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>How much does it cost to get a great smile?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Like most services, cost varies based on the amount of time required and the difficulty of the procedure(s). Generally, improving a smile requires a combination of treatment options such as bleaching, reshaping gums<strong>,</strong> and using bonded materials (resin or porcelain) to improve the appearance of the teeth. A great way to start is by having a consultation with </span><a href="http://cosmetic-dentistry-beverly-hills.com/index.asp?N=dentist-Rancho-Palos-Verdes-CA-Dr-Giri-Palani&C=305&P=2128" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Dr. Giri Palani</span></strong></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> to determine how you can reach your goals. Improving your smile is an <em>investment in you</em>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>I have dental insurance. Will it pay for my new smile?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Most dental insurance has very low total benefits per year, which may offset the cost for regular checkups, but probably won’t pay toward cosmetic services. Insurance is a business; thus, your carrier will often contract to pay for the least expensive option instead of the best solution for your particular needs or desires. Dr. Palani will work to maximize your benefits, and may have suggestions for alternative methods of financing so you can obtain the treatment of choice. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>What are some benefits of cosmetic dentistry?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A great smile should improve your self-confidence, which can have a positive impact on the social and professional aspects of your life. Cosmetic dentistry is not just about pretty smiles though. New techniques and materials are available for back teeth as well as those seen when you smile. Now your mouth can look great, get healthy<strong>,</strong> and function better<strong>,</strong> all at the same time. </span><br />
