Enhance Your Smile with Botox

Botox is typically thought of only as a cosmetic treatment that minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, plumps up skin, and makes you look younger. This kind of miracle work has made Botox one of the most popular beauty treatments available. Where and how does dentistry enter the equation?

Using Botox in Conjunction with Dental Procedures

Certain cosmetic and restorative dentistry solutions can affect the shape of the mouth and face. For example, a restoration like a dental implant is intended to stimulate and support the jawbone. Veneers can slightly plump out the lips because of how the micro-thin pieces of porcelain lie on the teeth.

There are also medical dental uses for Botox. It can be used to help treat, control, and minimize the discomfort caused by problems such as TMJ disorders, teeth grinding and clenching, and orofacial pain.

What Qualifies a Dentist to Deliver Botox Injections?

Who else but dentists work exclusively and daily on the mouth and face? Dentists give targeted anesthetic injections safely in the cranial nerves to prepare patients for dental procedures. Our staff at Bedminster Family & Cosmetic Dentistry are skilled, experienced, and ready to beautify your facial features.

Besides finely honed technical skills, cosmetic dentists are highly adept at assessing balance to improve facial aesthetics for a refreshed, younger appearance. Your dentist understands how your face will look with cosmetic dentistry changes, and how your teeth relate to the soft tissue around your mouth. Using Botox to supplement these improvements in a natural-looking way creates a truly rejuvenated look.

The Cosmetic Advantages of Botox

Botox is known for smoothing facial wrinkles and tightening up collagen. When Botox is injected into the facial muscles, the botulinum toxin blocks the communication between nerves and muscles so the muscles cannot contract.

Botox is commonly used in the following areas:

• Forehead.
• Between the eyes.
• Around the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet).
• Around the lips.
• To curb worry lines and laugh lines.

Essentially, Botox stops wrinkles and smooths out the skin. The effects of Botox usually last for three to four months.
