Botox
Botox has more than cosmetic and aesthetic benefits. It can also provide relief from jaw tension and pain, as well as relieve the pain that comes from teeth grinding.
At Dental Care Associates in Sioux Falls, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dental services. Whether you need teeth whitening or dental implants, our dental professionals are qualified to perform any treatment you might need to look your best.
These popular cosmetic procedures include Botox. Botox can help adjust your lip shape, sculpt your smile, and smooth wrinkles around your mouth.
Benefits of Botox:
- Can relieve pain caused by TMJ disorder, grinding teeth, and the discomfort of jaw tension
- Reduce Migraine pain
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines
Botox can also help retrain facial muscles for patients with dentures or patients adjusting to certain kinds of orthodontic treatment. In these cases, it only makes sense to receive Botox injections from a trained dentist who understands both the cosmetic and the dental aspects of the procedure.
What is Botox? Botox is the common name for botulinum toxin, a protein that can be injected into the facial muscles. Botox doesn’t affect the muscles themselves — it blocks the transmitters between the nerves that move the muscles so that the muscles can’t contract. This stops the motion that causes wrinkles. 3-10 days after the treatment, the skin that surrounds these muscles smooths itself out.
Why see the professionals at Dental Care Associates for Botox? Our dentists spent years studying facial anatomy and injecting anesthetics in many of the same areas treated with Botox – let’s talk about if Botox is right for you.
