BOTOX Treatment
Botox Treatment at TDA
At TDA, we offer therapeutic applications of Botox for the treatment of symptoms our patients experience with TMJ, migraines, and bruxism. We are also trained and certified to provide cosmetic Botox to relax and refresh your appearance and improve the look of your smile.
What is Botox?
Botox treatment is minimally invasive and can be administered right in our office. Most people see the results of Botox treatment within days and the results can last for months.
Botox, short for OnabotulinumtoxinA, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It can be used for both medical and cosmetic treatments.
Why Should You Get Botox Treatment From a Dentist?
Precise knowledge of the facial structure, including the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, is crucial to the safe and effective administration of Botox treatment. As part of their dental training, dentists spend years studying and becoming familiar with the intricate anatomy of the face. This specialized training allows dentists to provide precise Botox injections that are more accurate and often less painful.
Botox Cosmetic
For over 20 years, Botox has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic treatments. It works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles in targeted areas. Some of the most common cosmetic uses for Botox include:
Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Botox Cosmetic is most commonly used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows (also known as “the elevens”), around the eyes, on the side of the nose (commonly called “bunny lines”) and in the mouth and chin area.
Prevention of premature aging
Increasingly, people are finding that starting Botox treatment from a young age can reduce or even prevent future fine lines and wrinkles from developing.
Correction of high smile lines
Also known as “gummy smile,” Botox Cosmetic can be used to relax the upper lip, achieving a smile that doesn’t extend beyond the teeth.
If you are suffering pain and discomfort from the symptoms of TMJ, migraine headaches, or bruxism, Botox can offer you effective and long-lasting relief with a treatment that takes just minutes to administer. If you want to just look and feel better about your appearance, Botox can ease or prevent the signs of aging or transform your smile.
If any of these situations sound familiar to you, we urge you to schedule a consultation with one of our knowledgeable and experienced Botox providers. Botox at TDA can transform your life for the better!
