What is Botox?
Botox is an injection that’s used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It’s injected into specific muscles and works by blocking signals from nerves to those muscles, which makes the muscles relax. This relaxation helps smooth out the skin and reduce the creases that cause wrinkles, giving a more youthful appearance. Botox is commonly used in cosmetic procedures, but it also has medical applications for treating certain conditions like muscle spasms and migraines.
Cosmetic Botox
In addition to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Botox can be used to enhance the overall aesthetics of your smile. Our dental professionals understand the importance of facial harmony and can use Botox to complement your dental work, creating a more balanced and pleasing appearance. By carefully administering Botox injections, we can achieve subtle changes in facial contours, such as reducing a gummy smile, softening chin dimples, or correcting asymmetry.
Therapeutic Botox
Botox has been found to be an effective treatment option for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ). TMJ is a condition that affects the jaw joint and can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty in jaw movement. By injecting Botox into specific jaw muscles, we can reduce muscle tension and alleviate TMJ-related symptoms. Botox is also used to treat bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the jaw muscles and reducing the excessive force exerted on the teeth.
