BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a versatile treatment that can help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance while addressing certain medical concerns. At Shores Family Dentistry, we use BOTOX for cosmetic enhancements and to provide therapeutic relief for specific dental and facial issues. Whether you are seeking to smooth frown lines, alleviate migraines or manage TMJ symptoms, we are here to guide you through this effective treatment option.
Cosmetically, BOTOX is FDA-approved to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. These signs of aging can make you appear tired or stressed, even when you feel your best. BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, resulting in smoother skin and a rejuvenated look. Many of our patients choose BOTOX to boost their self-confidence and enhance their natural beauty.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, BOTOX offers therapeutic solutions for dental concerns. If you suffer from TMJ disorder or chronic facial pain, BOTOX may help by relieving muscle tension and reducing discomfort. It can also be used to address conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing overactive jaw muscles. For patients experiencing migraines, BOTOX injections may help lessen the frequency and intensity of headaches.
The BOTOX procedure is simple and minimally invasive, requiring no surgery or recovery time. During your appointment, our dentists will administer the injections directly into the targeted areas. To ensure your comfort, we may use ice or a topical numbing agent before beginning. Most patients find the procedure quick and virtually painless.
Results typically start to become noticeable within 24 to 48 hours, with full effects visible after about two weeks. Depending on the area treated and your individual response, the results can last up to four months. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain your desired appearance or therapeutic benefits.
