What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is derived from a purified toxin that's been refined for medical and cosmetic purposes. We administer BOTOX to key areas to alleviate pain and tension or reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The solution blocks specific signals that cause a muscle to contract and relaxes the strain on the target muscles and joints.
Our dentist is dedicated to continued education and combines decades of experience with extensive training to offer the most current dental and cosmetic procedures. You can trust that when you choose our BOTOX treatment, you are receiving modern, quality services.
BOTOX for TMJ Disorder: TMJ, or the temporomandibular joint, may become a source of discomfort or pain if the joint is out of alignment or the muscles supporting the joint become aggravated or inflamed. This leads to TMJ disorder, which can cause pain in the jaws, headaches, and migraine. We offer BOTOX to relax the muscles and allow your jaw joints to regain their mobility and alleviate pain. This effective treatment may be used alone or alongside other TMD treatments.
BOTOX for Cosmetic Treatments: If you have fine lines or wrinkles, our BOTOX treatment can minimize their appearance. Our friendly dentist uses BOTOX as a cosmetic treatment for lines and wrinkles on the face. We are dedicated to providing all the information you need to get the most out of your treatment, and our dentist will provide instructions and tips to maximize the effectiveness and the longevity of your BOTOX treatment.
Our BOTOX Process
When you're looking for pain relief or for cosmetic services to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, you want a dentist who understands and supports your choice. Our dental team genuinely cares about helping you get out of pain from TMD or boost your confidence by reducing the signs of aging.
We begin with a gentle, thorough exam of your teeth, jaws, and gums to determine if there are any underlying issues that may be affecting your temporomandibular joints. This allows us to more accurately place the BOTOX for more effective results.
If you want BOTOX to address fine lines and wrinkles, our dentist will take the time to talk with you and discuss your goals and the results you can expect. Our team will craft a treatment plan that is tailored to you and your specific needs and goals. We then gently administer BOTOX in the target areas to address your concerns.
BOTOX FAQs
We believe that open dialogue is an important part of quality dental care. That is why we encourage you to share your questions and voice your concerns. Our team is happy to provide the answers you need to make an informed decision regarding your treatment plan. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about BOTOX treatments.
Yes. BOTOX is derived from the botulinum toxin in a purified form. It has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for medical and cosmetic purposes.
The longevity of BOTOX depends on where it's administered and how quickly your body breaks down the solution. In general, BOTOX can last for 3-6 months before you may need another treatment. Our dentist will discuss your treatment plan, including follow-up appointments, in the preliminary stages so you feel confident in your personal treatment plan.
It takes 1-2 days for you to experience the results of BOTOX treatment. To enjoy the full results, it's important that you do not rub or massage the treated area during the 24-48 hour period because the pressure can force the BOTOX to other areas and decrease the effectiveness of the service.
