BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is widely known for its ability to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but it also offers several benefits in dentistry. At University Suburban Dental, we provide BOTOX to enhance your appearance and relieve dental-related discomfort. Whether you are looking to reduce facial wrinkles or seeking relief from TMJ pain, BOTOX may be an effective solution for you.
Enhancing Your Appearance with BOTOX
BOTOX is an FDA-approved treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. These lines develop from repeated muscle movements, such as squinting and frowning, over time. BOTOX works by relaxing targeted muscles, softening wrinkles and creating a more youthful, refreshed look. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance.
BOTOX for TMJ & Facial Pain Relief
Beyond its cosmetic benefits, BOTOX is also used for therapeutic dental applications. If you suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, chronic jaw clenching or teeth grinding, our dentist may recommend BOTOX injections to help relax the overactive muscles that contribute to these conditions. Many patients experience relief from jaw tension, headaches and facial discomfort within a few days of treatment. BOTOX can also help minimize excessive facial muscle contractions, preventing the strain that often leads to pain and dysfunction.
Quick & Comfortable Treatment Process
BOTOX injections are administered in our office and typically take only a few minutes. We may use ice or a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort before the treatment. The injections are precise, targeting specific facial or jaw muscles based on your needs. Most patients begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effects appearing within two weeks. The results can last up to four months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain optimal results.
