Overcoming the Fear of the Dentist | Cosmetic Dentist Los Angeles

“Dental Phobia and How I Overcame It

Fear of the dentist is fairly common, I believe. There are very few people who love going to visit the dentist and some who feel total terror at the prospect.

For many years I was one of the latter and it was caused by the insensitivity and stupidity of one particular dentist during the process of drilling a tooth for a filling.”

Introducing one Star patient..

We’re Introducing …
One star patient
Each one of you, our patients, is unique. You have different origins, different hobbies, different lives, different everything … every single one of you is special in your own way. So, we like to tell you a little about each other … to allow you to have the same chance to make new friends that we experience everyday. This issue, we’d like to tell you about our patient, and friend, Star Ladin.
Star is an ambitious woman, who understands the value of having a community to support any endeavor. This belief was the driving force behind Star Lee, Star’s new business that provides a means of connecting women, both those in business and the entrepreneurs. Through this new business, she has developed a magazine, a website, planned meetings, and selected various resources that support professional women. Star Lee is a great way for women to connect with others, to establish beneficial work relations, and to find advice that could help their business to flourish.
We hope you enjoyed learning about Star and Star Lee, her innovative community for professional women. For more information contact Star at star@marketingmedia.com.

Hopefully everyone will become a star patient in their own way, and enjoy a star smile. Dr. Carson helps with smile makeovers in Malibu and makes everyone shine with teeth whitening.

Veneers: Smile Makeover | Malibu Cosmetic Dentist

Do you dream about having the perfect smile?

Are your teeth uneven, gaps in-between teeth, or maybe not as white as you would like? There are many reasons that people seek out porcelain veneers or a complete smile makeover. Many of our patients get veneers on their more visible teeth while others add veneers to their entire set of teeth.

Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains and plaque so they remain whiter.

This does not mean that you can cut back on your dental health but for cosmetic reasons this is great. The appearance of even and whiter teeth can not only boost your confidence but also help you to appear younger and more vibrant. To find out about our payment plans and credit options contact our Malibu Cosmetic Dentist office today at Westlake Dental Arts for more information.
