Culver City dentist Dr. Abbas Eftekhari, or just “Dr. E” to the kids, specializes in rejuvenating the smiles and dental health of children. If you're looking for a West Los Angeles dentist, a West Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, or an Upland dentist, look no further than Dr. E's office: United Dental Care.

An Experienced Children's Dentist

A gentle and caring doctor with over eighteen years experience, Dr. Eftekhari does a great job at putting the children in his care at ease. He is especially masterful working with children who are normally afraid to go to the dentist; he allows his young patients to ask him all the questions they want, and he takes the time to answer their questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. For Dr. E, the doctor-patient relationship is about more than just shifting teeth around – Dr. E takes the time to educate patients so that they won't have to be back in his office needing yet more dental work.

You'll be able to see how much kids matter to Dr. Eftekhari just by walking into the office. With stuffed animals, children's DVDs, and dental scrubs decorated with cartoon characters, Dr. Eftekhari and the whole staff at United Dental Care are very skilled at helping nervous young ones relax.

What Cosmetic Dentistry is All About

Dr. Eftekhari knows how much a beautiful smile means to children and adults alike. A healthy smile projects confidence, self-respect, and high self-esteem. No matter what your age, from the smallest kindergartener to retired professionals, a beautiful smile opens doors for you, makes life easier, and more enjoyable.

That's why, for Dr. Eftekhari and the other dentists at United Dental Care, cosmetic dentistry isn't seen as self-indulgence or a waste of time and money. Cosmetic dentistry today goes far beyond those silly teeth whitening strips and removing coffee stains; true cosmetic dentistry professionals are focused on increasing their patients' quality of life by giving them back their stunning smile. Dr. Eftekhari is more than a cosmetic dentist: he's a rejuvenator of smiles of all ages.

Improvements in Cosmetic Dentistry

Dr. Eftekhari and the rest of the staff at United Dental Care are up-to-date with the latest technologies in cosmetic dentistry, ensuring a great smile with a minimal amount of discomfort. Here are some of the technologies available to patients at United Dental Care:

- White fillings: White fillings are a safe alternative to the old-fashioned silver fillings. Dr. Eftekhari understands the increasing concerns from parents about the mercury content of the old silver fillings; the white resin fillings are both more attractive and also contain no mercury. Since mercury may be linked to certain childhood developmental disorders, such as autism, many parents appreciate Dr. Eftekhari's use of white fillings.
- Porcelain crowns:  Dr. Eftekhari and the staff at United Dental Care use porcelain crowns. Porcelain blends right in with your natural teeth, and no one should be able to tell the difference between your normal teeth and your porcelain crown.
- Resin or porcelain veneers: Veneers are a great way to cover up broken or discolored teeth. The porcelain veneers in particular look just like regular teeth and restore your attractive smile. Lumineers are similar to veneers, but are a newer technology that can be removed later on.
- Invisalign:  Invisalign is all the rage right now in the world of cosmetic dentistry, especially with teens and adults who want to correct their tooth position without using unsightly braces. Removable and virtually invisible, the clear plastic Invisalign invisibly aligns your teeth. If you have an important event coming up, such as a presentation, a first date, or just some very sticky food that you can't resist, you can take the Invisalign device out of your mouth until you're done, then just put it back in.
