Your dentist can offer you more than just a great grin. They also administer Botox, which can alleviate facial pain, smooth fine lines, and cosmetically enhance your smile. Botox provides quick relief and leaves you with a rejuvenated glow that helps you look and feel your best.
The Benefits of Botox
Smoothes Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Botox evens out lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead by targeting specific muscles and enabling them to relax. This leaves you with a rejuvenated appearance for months.
Reduces Appearance of Gummy Smile
Does your smile show too much of the upper gum line? Botox can help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by relaxing the muscles of the upper lip. After receiving treatment, your lips will cover any excess gum tissue when you smile, restoring balance to your naturally beautiful grin.
Alleviates TMJ and Myofascial Pain
TMJ disorders involve the muscles, joints, and nerves of the jaw, and are linked to chronic myofascial pain and migraines. Botox can help ease the tension on these strained muscles, so the parts of your jaw work together in pain-free harmony.
The Botox Treatment Process
Consultation
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your personal smile goals, and discuss how Botox treatments may be able to help you achieve your unique vision. Additionally, if you’re experiencing jaw pain, we’ll find out if Botox can help relieve your discomfort.
Treatment Plan
Once we’ve decided if Botox is a suitable fit, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that covers the initial set of injections. Botox treatment generally lasts between 3-6 months, so we’ll be sure to schedule any follow-up appointments for additional injections.
Procedure
After cleaning and sanitizing the treatment site, a thin needle is used to inject Botox into the targeted areas. You and your dentist will decide if you require any numbing for the procedure to keep you comfortable and out of pain.
