Cosmetic Dentistry and the Importance of Smile Aesthetics

    MANDEVILLE, LA, July 23, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Are you self-conscious about your smile? If you answered yes, maybe cosmetic dentistry is what you are looking for. So, you need to figure out where to go and who can help you create the perfect smile. Good news, you don't have to sweat the details. Dr. Causin, Mandeville, LA dentist, can give you a smile you've been dreaming about.

Before Dr. Causin can map out your specific treatment, she needs to conduct a smile analysis. On her website at http://www.GrandFamilyDentistry.com, Dr. Causin instructs patients to fill out a quick form, so she can schedule an appointment with you and start customizing your picture-perfect smile. Some questions you need to answer include the following:

- How many teeth show in your smile?
- Describe the color of your teeth?
- Are there any defects on your front teeth?
- Any fillings or crowns showing?
- Are your teeth crowded?
- Do you have any spaces or gaps between your teeth?

Once you stop in for the appointment, Dr. Causin evaluates your teeth and builds your case. In terms of treatment, Dr. Causin, cosmetic dentist, offers many options: teeth whitening, Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, crowns, bridges, dental implants, veneers and dentures.

One of the most important steps before starting treatment is outlining your smile aesthetics. To create a beautiful smile, Dr. Causin applies smile design principles to every case. In each case, the principles remain the same, but each patient has different visual aesthetics. Dr. Causin uses these principles to determine how to customize your smile. Dr. Causin focuses on facial and gum aesthetics, micro-aesthetics and macro-aesthetics. Why are these so important? Think of your teeth as the picture and your facial features (lips, cheekbones and other traits) as the frame--it's always important to match a picture to the frame. And Dr. Causin can do that for you.

Facial and Gum Aesthetics
It's important to examine your basic facial structure. X-rays, photos and computer-generated images document your specific facial and smile traits, such as, the way your lips frame your smile. A cosmetic dentist also accounts for excessive (gummy smile) or uneven gums.

Micro-aesthetics
This is when cosmetic dentistry gets down to the specifics. If you look in the mirror, you might see stains, uneven coloration or small streaks/spots. Dr. Causin notes any defects found on the front teeth before starting treatment.

Macro-aesthetics
Spaces, gaps and crowded teeth are the main reasons some people feel their smiles aren't aesthetically pleasing. With the correct orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign or Six Month Smiles, you are taking a big step to a better smile.

Contact your Mandeville, LA dentist to schedule an appointment and get started on that million-dollar smile. Besides cosmetic dentistry, Grand Family Dentistry's services include sedation dentistry and sleep apnea treatment.
