Enhance Your Natural Beauty With Botox and Fillers
Botox and dermal fillers are known for their use in cosmetics, but they also have a role to play in dentistry. At Main Dental, we use both Botox and dermal filler treatments to improve the appearance of your mouth and to treat some forms of pain.
Botox is FDA-approved and can be used to enhance oneās appearance and treat other kinds of dental issues. The treatment is best known for its ability to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, which can make you look younger. However, research has also shown that Botox is effective in relieving facial and jaw pain associated with Bruxism and TMD.
The Botox treatment involves an injection, but the pain associated with this is minimal. Typically, you will have an injection with a thin needle directly into the desired area, and this injection procedure generally takes between 15 and 20 minutes. The results last, on average, about 3 months, after which the Botox solution is naturally removed from the body.
We also use dermal fillers to treat many dental issues. Like Botox, dermal fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. But they can also be used to plump lips, reduce the appearance of scars, and even reconstruct areas of the face after surgery.
Both Botox and dermal fillers can be used to improve your appearance ā fixing high lip lines or scars from injuries, or simply giving you more confidence ā as well as for therapeutic purposes.
