Smile Analysis

Your smile affects your self-image, and can greatly influence the quality of your interactions with others. Many people hold back from laughing or smiling because they are uncomfortable about their appearance when they do. The following questions are designed to honestly appraise your smile. Go to a mirror, smile as wide as you can, and ask yourself the following questions:

Are any of your teeth yellow, stained or somewhat discolored?

Would you like your teeth to be whiter?

Do you have any gaps or spaces between your teeth?

Are any of your teeth turned, crooked, or uneven?

Are you missing any teeth?

Do you see any pitting or defects on the surfaces of your teeth?

Are the edges of any teeth worn down, chipped or uneven?

Do any of your teeth appear too small, short, large or long?

Do you have any prior dental work that appears unnatural?

Do you have any crowns or bridges that appear dark at the edge of your gums?

Do you have any gray, black or silver (mercury) fillings in your teeth?

Do you have a "gummy" smile (too much of your gums show when smiling)?

Are your gums red, sore, puffy, bleeding or receded?

Does the appearance of your smile inhibit you from laughing or smiling?

When being photographed, do you smile with your lips closed instead of flashing a full smile?

Are you self-conscious about your teeth or smile?

Would you like to change anything about the appearance of your teeth or smile?

Testimonials

Dr. Hekmat's chairside manner is something that should be cloned, and all young dentists and doctors should be able to see the tender insight that this man gives his patients. Dr. Hekmat is one of the nicest, most skillful, most dedicated men I have ever met. I can't believe I was so lucky to have found him in such a huge, busy metropolis as Los Angeles.

John Burbank, CA

Dr. Hekmat has been my trusted family dentist for many years, not only taking care of me--but my wife, sister, mother, brother-in-law and mother-in-law, too! From the warm smiles that greet me when I walk in the door to the compassionate, skillful and concerned care that Dr. Hekmat and his staff provide, my visits to his office are always like visiting a member of the family. ...And I don’t want to forget to mention that I appreciate the fact that in busy Westwood, Dr. Hekmat still provides completely free, validated parking. That’s no small feat in my part of town!

Louis Santa Monica, CA

Dr. Hekmat and his team are true professionals. He is kind and always has time to answer ALL of my questions and concerns. I began visiting him after a a friend referred to me several years ago and I have not visited any other dentists since getting work done with him because he continuously provides me and my family with excellent work. I have had a root canal, crowns, bonding, whitening and removal of amalgam fillings with him and I could not be happier with his work.

He is also totally available for emergencies, something other doctors shirk at. I was on my way to LAX when my front tooth (it was being prepped for a root canal) totally came off, I panicked, called him and drove myself to his office within a hour he had me all patched up.

He never tries to sell you anything, he and his staff know my name and always make me feel welcome and calm the anxiety that comes with getting dental work done.
