Why Botox?
Odds are you have already heard of Botox treatments as it often goes hand in hand with plastic surgery or other cosmetic practices. Many are often surprised to discover that dental practices also use Botox.
Well, the reason is quite simple: Botox provides incredibly effective results for our health when properly administered by licensed dental professionals like those at our office.
While Botox’s medicinal applications can be overshadowed by its effectiveness as a cosmetic agent, we here at Ponderosa Dental Group take full advantage of this wonderful treatment to improve both your smile’s aesthetic and your oral health.
Is Botox Right for Me?
When the word “Botox” hits our ears, it is easy to immediately think of ageless, Hollywood celebrities. But that just isn’t true! Botox has a wide range of applications and has never been more accessible thanks to your friends here at Ponderosa Dental Group.
Consider contacting our office for a consultation if any of the following apply to you:
- You want to smooth away wrinkles.
- You are looking to get rid of laugh/smile lines around your mouth.
- You suffer from TMJ/TMD pain-related symptoms like chronic migraines or muscle tension.
- You have been diagnosed with bruxism or tooth grinding.
- You are having difficulty adjusting to a new pair of dentures.
How Is Dental Botox Different?
We all know there are different branches in the world of medicine; cardiology focuses on heart health and dentistry focuses on oral health. However, we may use the same tools such as X-rays but to focus on different issues or even use them in slightly different ways.
This idea applies to dental Botox. As dentists, we are uniquely qualified to not only understand oral health, but how all the muscles of your jaw, face, and even neck work together to maintain that health.
Therefore, we can create fantastic results by applying Botox to targeted areas in certain muscle groups. These treatments come in one of two forms: cosmetic and therapeutic.
Cosmetic Botox
If you are experiencing wrinkles and face lines on your skin that are affecting your smile, Botox could be the solution. Botox works by relaxing your wrinkle-causing muscles, creating a smoothed and improved appearance. Botox is administered via a few tiny injections of purified protein into the muscles to block impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions.
With our cosmetic Botox, we can reduce crow’s feet, worry lines, and other wrinkles to help you look just the way you want. Botox is a simple and quick, minimally invasive treatment that delivers dramatic results with no downtime.
Enjoy renewed confidence in your appearance after a Botox treatment with our caring staff members.
Therapeutic Botox
One of Botox’s lesser-known but highly useful functions is as a pain reliever. If you suffer from jaw pain due to excessive teeth clenching or grinding, a Botox treatment could change your life for the better.
Just as Botox can relax muscles to increase skin smoothness, it can also relax muscles in your jaw to greatly reduce the intensity of your clenching or grinding. An application of Botox could be what you need to eliminate your jaw, neck, or face pain, as well as TMJ-induced migraines.
There’s no reason to suffer from treatable pain. If any of the TMJ side effects listed above apply to you, consider investing in the relief that a Botox treatment can provide.
