    How to choose a cosmetic dentist.


  • Dental Implants

    Are dental implants right for you?



    Dr. Palani, Implant Dentist


    Dental implants are the best way to replace teeth. They look like real teeth, feel like real teeth, bond to your real bones and they don't damage the teeth around them. Dr. Palani is an expert in placing implanted teeth as well as making you comfortable through the whole procedure. Learn more about dental implants.
  • Cosmetic Dentistry in Beverly Hills

    Cosmetic Dentistry - Patient Education


    Lumineers


    Lumineers are custom-made Veneers. They are thin porcelain laminates that Dr. Palani bonds directly onto your teeth. Being very thin allows us to minimize the preparation of the tooth, and still create beautiful transformations. Lumineers can be used to disguise discolorations, chips, or to close unsightly gaps.

    No shots or drilling are required for Lumineers, just mild etching of your natural tooth, and that means no pain. With minimal preparation, there is often little to no discomfort in this procedure. The procedure often requires 2 visits.

    Dental Veneers


    Veneers are very thin ceramic shells that cover your existing tooth. Veneers help fix the look of staining, cracked teeth, spaces, chips, misalignment, or other issues. Some patients have found dental veneers to be a better choice versus Lumineers. The big difference is in the preparation of the tooth. Standard dental veneers require a lot of preparation, and your natural tooth will be permanently altered. Some patients have preferred the strength and the contour at the gumline of dental veneers. Ask us at Total Smile Care which option would be best for you.

    Tooth Whitening


    Tooth whitening, or bleaching, is a simple treatment used to brighten the color of tooth enamel and is an easy way to elevate your smile.

    Having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients. Dr. Palani is happy to discuss both in-office and at-home procedures available. Tooth whitening is not permanent, touch-ups may be needed with time.

    Reasons For Tooth Whitening:
    • Normal wear.
    • Florousis (excessive fluoridation).
    • Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
    • Yellow, brown stained teeth due to smoking, coffee, etc.

    Nobel BioCare Implants


    Leaving a missing tooth space empty can be serious. The consequences of leaving the space empty can include:
    • Adjacent teeth can change position to fill the gap.
    • Your jawbone can shrink, making your face appear prematurely older.
    • A missing tooth can affect your smile and your self-confidence.

    A dental implant is a great solution for replacing a missing tooth. A dental implant takes the place of the missing tooth's root and helps prevent consequences. After the implant is secured, an all-ceramic dental crown or bridge is secured to the dental implant, providing a complete and beautiful solution.

    Invisalign®


    Invisalign is an orthodontic system that straightens teeth discreetly using a series of clear, plastic aligners. Invisalign dental braces are invisible, comfortable, and a convenient way to straighten your teeth. They are effective for patients with crowded teeth or teeth with spaces. If you require minor to moderate orthodontic correction and don't want traditional, metal braces, Invisalign is a great option for you. Ask Dr. Palani for more information.

    Our Philosophy Is Dentistry with a Holistic Approach.



    Dr. Palani considers Holistic Dentistry as an important part of his practice. It comes from his Indian heritage where using natural remedies is an important aspect of total wellness.

    What is Holistic Dentistry?


    Holistic Dentistry views the mouth as being connected to the rest of the body. This means that disease in the mouth can affect other body systems. Dr. Palani combines western and eastern medical philosophies by focusing on the most harmonious and natural versions of the dental treatments currently available. The materials used by Dr. Palani are the most biocompatible, and the office is environmentally friendly.

A Word of Caution: Don't Use Super Glue on Your Teeth or Dentures

Posted on 11/23/2015 by Giri Palani
A pair of dentures floating inside a glass jar.Breaking a tooth or your dentures on the weekend or overnight can be a real problem, especially if it is after hours and your dentist's office isn't open. Unfortunately, many people decide to make repairs themselves by using super glue or other adhesives. This is an extremely bad decision, and here is why.

Super Glue Contains Chemicals

Super glue contains chemicals that may be toxic, and when you use these utility adhesives in your mouth, you'll put them in direct contact with your tissues. This can cause irritation to the mouth and gums, and it could potentially trigger an allergic reaction. Super glue is not intended to be used in the mouth or to repair dental appliances, and when used on your dentures, you could actually be causing more harm than good.

Super Glue Can Cause an Exothermic Reaction

In some cases, glue sets by using an exothermic reaction, meaning they generate heat. Unfortunately, the dentin tubules found within your teeth really don't tolerate this well, and they can actually die. This may result in the need for a root canal or even an extraction of the tooth.

Super Glue Can Prevent Future Repairs

Super glue isn't a temporary adhesive, and if you attempt to fix a problem with this method, it can be difficult to get the tooth back into the right position. Once you've made an attempt and it is glued, the tooth will not be fixable in the future without major work. If you try to super glue in a tooth with your dentures and don't get it exactly in the correct position, you may need an entirely new denture.

If you break your tooth or your dentures, do yourself a favor and let your dentist handle the repairs. Refrain from taking on a DIY project with super glue, as you'll likely encounter even more problems. Contact our office to set up an appointment.
