Therapeutic Botox
Botox isn't just cosmetic. In dentistry, it's a powerful therapeutic tool for jaw pain, TMJ disorders, chronic teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism), and the tension headaches they cause. By relaxing overworked jaw muscles, therapeutic Botox relieves pain, protects your teeth and dental work from grinding damage, and can correct a "gummy smile" by softening the muscles that over-lift the upper lip.
Cosmetic Botox & dermal fillers
We also offer cosmetic treatment to smooth frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet, and dermal fillers to restore volume, soften smile lines around the mouth, and enhance lips — always with a natural, refreshed result rather than an overdone one. Because the smile and the face frame each other, pairing facial treatment with your dental care produces a result no standalone med spa can match.
Why have a dentist do it?
Dentists administer injections in and around the face every single day, and study head, neck, and facial anatomy more deeply than almost any other provider. That anatomical expertise means precise placement, safer treatment, and better-looking results — all in the same office you already trust for your smile.
