The Benefits of Getting Botox from Your Dentist

The Benefits of Getting Botox from Your Dentist

If you have been battling with chronic jaw pain or are looking for solutions to erase the signs of aging, Dr. Rick's dental practice is here to help. We are proud to offer more than cosmetic dentistry services. We provide our valued patients with Botox treatments right here at our Scottsdale, AZ office.

Why Choose a Dentist for Botox Treatments?

Dentists are the real facial specialists, with years of extensive training and intimate knowledge and understanding of oral and facial anatomy. Dentists are far more familiar with the facial structure than any other provider. They are the best-equipped professionals to deliver Botox injectables because they inject anesthetics routinely and have the training and experience to allow for quick, comfortable, and relatively painless injections. While most providers only use a topical anesthetic during Botox treatments, dentists can deliver dental anesthesia when needed to minimize patient discomfort.

If you have decided on Botox for aesthetic purposes or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, consider choosing Dr. Rick's Dentistry as your provider. With his skill, training, and expertise, you can trust that you will enjoy the most comfortable treatments with the best results possible.

Botox for a More Youthful You

The aging process leads to the thinning of the skin, resulting in facial lines and wrinkles developing. With time and repeated facial expressions, the fine lines around the forehead and the corners of the eyes become more pronounced.

As dentists, we are dedicated to improving our patients' oral health and the appearance of their smiles. In addition to our cosmetic dentistry services such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and dental implants that deliver beautiful smiles, we also offer Botox. This anti-aging solution turns back the hands of time, restoring your youthful appearance.

According to the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE), the main ingredient in Botox is purified protein. The injectable neuromodulator works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles responsible for contractions, which results in a visible reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The age-defying injectables offer an outstanding, quick, and minimally-invasive solution to erase the signs of aging with virtually no discomfort or downtime. Best of all, you'll enjoy incredibly natural-looking results. The dramatic effects of Botox last about three to four months.

Botox for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)

TMD results from problems in the facial muscles, jaw, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the lower jaw to the skull. Symptoms of TMJ problems are pain in or around the jaw, clicking, stiffness, or soreness.

Botox offers an effective solution for patients with chronic TMJ and facial pain. The cutting-edge procedure works by inactivating the nerve endings that cause involuntary contractions in the jaw during sleep or due to stress. Botox for TMD is relatively new, but AAFE indicates promising early results.
