WHAT IS BOTOX AND FILLERS?

Most people think of Botox and dermal fillers as only being used for cosmetic reasons. However, most dermal fillers can be used to treat a variety of dental and oral conditions. Botox is safely injected into the area needing treatment and will help in reducing and eliminating both pain and discomfort. We will consult with you to determine if Botox or other types of fillers are right for you.

WHY MIGHT BOTOX AND FILLERS BE NEEDED?

Botox has safely been used in the medical industry for years. It has many different uses and is not just a cosmetic option for patients. Some of the more common uses for Botox and other dermal fillers in dentistry include:

  • Treat TMJ disorders

  • Help in reducing the look of a "gummy" smile

  • Treat and reduce migraines

  • Help in making dentures or partials more comfortable to wear

  • Relaxes muscles in both the face and mouth
