Aesthetics & Dentistry
We are pleased to be offering our patient Botox and Filler treatments in our office; Cosmetic dentistry and aesthetics go hand in hand. While creating a more beautiful appearance through your smile it is natural to consider enhancements to other facial features.
BOTOX® is FDA approved to treat frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet in adults. With over 16 years of research documenting BOTOX®’s safety and effectiveness, the use of BOTOX® is becoming more common place and socially understood. The cosmetic use of BOTOX® has shown to have simultaneous medical benefits such as injection into the masseter muscle for facial slimming resulting in relief of TMJ symptoms.
JUVÉDERM ® dermal and lip fillers are an injectable gel made of a modified form of hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. HA keeps skin soft and moisturized, unfortunately HA decreases as we age. Fillers can be used to create a hydrated lip or fuller cheek resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Benefits of BOTOX®
We all want to look and feel our best. Sometimes there is a disconnect between how we feel and how we look. Some benefits of BOTOX® injections include:
- more youthful appearance through decreased fine lines and wrinkles
- smile enhancement by correction of “gummy smile”
- relaxation of frown lines
- correction of facial asymmetry
BOTOX® injections into the masseter muscle have cosmetic and medical benefits such as:
- slimmer jawline
- relief of TMJ symptoms
- relief of headaches related to clenching and grinding
- prevention of tooth damage from bruxism (excessive grinding and clenching of the jaw).
