The Benefits of Botox
Smoothes Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Botox gently relaxes specific facial muscles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, allowing the skin to smooth out naturally. This creates a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance that lasts for months.
Reduces Appearance of Gummy Smile
If your smile shows too much of your upper gum line, Botox can help by relaxing the muscles of your upper lip. After treatment, your lips will cover excess gum tissue when you smile, creating a more balanced, confident smile.
Alleviates TMJ and Myofascial Pain
TMJ disorders involve the muscles, joints, and nerves of the jaw and are often linked to chronic pain and migraines. Botox can ease tension in these strained muscles, helping your jaw work in pain-free harmony and potentially reducing headache frequency.

The Botox Treatment Process
Consultation
During your initial visit, we'll discuss your personal goals and how Botox might help you achieve them. If you're experiencing jaw pain, we'll evaluate whether Botox could provide relief for your specific condition.
Treatment Plan
Once we determine that Botox is right for you, we'll develop a personalized plan covering your initial treatment. Since Botox typically lasts 3-6 months, we'll also discuss scheduling follow-up appointments to maintain your results.
Procedure
After preparing the treatment area, we use a very fine needle to inject Botox precisely where needed. The procedure is quick—usually completed in just minutes—and most patients experience minimal discomfort. You and your dentist will decide if any numbing is necessary to ensure your comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botox results develop gradually. While you might notice subtle changes right away (especially with your first treatment), most patients see initial improvements after 4-6 days, with full results appearing around 10-14 days after treatment.
Botox typically lasts between 3-6 months before requiring another treatment. The results, while long-lasting, aren't permanent—regular follow-up appointments are needed to maintain the effects. Many patients find their results last longer after several treatments as muscles become conditioned.
Botox has proven effective for many patients suffering from TMJ-related pain. While the causes of TMJ disorders can be complex, common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, discomfort while chewing, and sometimes lockjaw. Botox works by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles, which often allows the entire TMJ system to function more harmoniously, providing significant pain relief.
Additionally, Botox injections in the forehead and scalp area have been approved as a treatment for chronic migraine sufferers. By relaxing specific muscles in the forehead, temples, and back of the head, Botox can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of tension headaches and migraines. Many patients who receive these therapeutic Botox treatments report fewer headache days per month and improved quality of life.
Dentists bring unique expertise to Botox treatments. With extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and oral health, they understand how Botox can complement dental treatments and address oral-facial issues. For patients with TMJ disorders or teeth grinding, Botox can work alongside other treatments like nightguards. Your dentist can even use Botox to help patients adjust to new dentures more comfortably, offering comprehensive care that considers both function and aesthetics.
