 Biography: When you mention cosmetic dentistry in Los Angeles, the first dentist that comes to mind is Dr. William Dorfman. Bill is widely recognized as one of the country's leading dentists and is responsible for creating smiles for most of Hollywood's brightest stars. The innovative and accomplished Dr. Dorfman is also renowned in his field as an energy-brimming inventor and brilliant entrepreneur who has brought award-winning innovations to aesthetic dentistry. He has been consulted extensively for numerous television and magazine interviews, including most recently ABC's hit new series, "Extreme Makeover," giving people a Million Dollar Smile , NBC's "The Today Show," "Entertainment Tonight," "EXTRA," "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," (Click here to see video) and "E! Entertainment Television." In addition, he has appeared on numerous occasions on NBC4's "Channel 4 News" in Los Angeles. Dr. Dorfman graduated from UCLA where he was honored with the prestigious "UCLA Outstanding Senior Award" in 1980. He then received his dental degree in 1983 from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco where he was one of the youngest graduates to ever receive his doctorate degree. Upon graduation, he completed a two-year residency at a dental hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 1985, Dr. Dorfman returned to the United States and established his private practice in aesthetic and general dentistry. In 1989, at the age of 30, Dr. Dorfman formed the now hugely successful company, Discus Dental, Inc., the world's leading manufacturer and distributor of tooth-whitening, oral hygiene and aesthetic dental products. Here he helped develop such ground-breaking professional take-home teeth whitening products as Nite White and Day White, both of which brighten smiles much more quickly, safely and effectively than conventional over-the-counter teeth-whitening strips and paint-on gels. Recently his company has launched Zoom!, a revolutionary in-office whitening system which uses a safe, effective and gentle light-activated gel to whiten by 6 to 10 shades in just over an hour; and Breath Rx, a complete line of breath freshening products available only in dentists' offices. Dr. Dorfman is a member of the American Dental Association and the Century City Medical Staff, and he is one of only 33 Fellows in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, only two of which are in Los Angeles. In addition, Dr. Dorfman is a world-renowned lecturer and author of the best-selling cosmetic dentistry book, The Smile Guide, one of the most popular books ever in dentistry. He is also the past editor of the Journal of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. In addition, Dr. Dorfman is the founder and program coordinator of P.A.C.-live, a continuing education program to teach practicing dentists state-of-the-art cosmetic dental skills on live patients, at the University of the Pacific Dental School. He has been honored by being recognized as the "Best Aesthetic Dentist in Los Angeles" in Los Angeles Magazine and, by the young age of 42, was awarded not one but two lifetime achievement awards from the largest academies in dentistry. Throughout his accomplished career, Dr. Dorfman has been committed both to educating the public about the world of dentistry and to giving back to the community. In the past four years, Dr. Dorfman and his company, Discus Dental, Inc., together with the Crown Council of Dentists, an alliance of dentists throughout the United States and Canada, has raised and donated $15 million to more than 115 children's charities, including St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, The Children's Dental Center and Garth Brooks' Teammates for Kids Foundation.(Click here to see video) Dr. Dorfman is also active in the world of fitness and beauty and has been a repeat judge for the Miss South Carolina beauty pageant.
