Dentists, like our own Dr. Sanati and Dr. Shahram, have advanced training in facial anatomy that equips them to use BOTOX® to treat both cosmetic and functional concerns, including jaw tension, TMJ discomfort, and smile lines, in one visit. As a result, BOTOX injections at a dental office are delivered with an eye toward improving not just aesthetics, but also oral function and overall quality of life.
A Deeper Understanding of Facial Anatomy
Dentists spend years studying the muscles, nerves, and structures of the face, jaw, and mouth. Their depth of knowledge is far greater than that of most general aesthetic providers. This gives dental providers a precise understanding of facial musculature, which is especially valuable when administering BOTOX near a patient’s jaw and lower face.
Treating Function, Not Just Appearance
Unlike a typical med spa visit, BOTOX at a dental office can address a number of cosmetic goals and functional concerns at the same time:
- Tension from teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Jaw discomfort related to TMJ disorders
- A “gummy” smile
- Fine lines around the mouth and lower face
Convenience and Continuity of Care
Because your dentist already has a detailed picture of your oral and facial health, there's no need to explain your dental or jaw history to a new provider. As a result, your BOTOX treatment can be more coordinated and precise in addressing both functional and cosmetic concerns.
