Botox® and dermal fillers for natural-looking refinement — and, for clenching, Botox® may reduce clenching-related muscle tension. Treated by a doctor trained in the anatomy of the face and jaw.
Tell us your goals. Our treatment coordinator will reach out the same business day.
We use Botox® and fillers two ways: to refine your appearance and, for some patients, to reduce clenching-related muscle tension. Many patients come for one and discover the other.
Soften the lines that age the face and restore a rested, natural look — never frozen or overdone.
When the jaw-closing muscles are overworked from clenching and grinding, Botox® can relax them and may reduce clenching-related muscle tension.
The face, its muscles, and the jaw are exactly what dentists study and work within every day — which makes a dental office a natural setting for Botox® and fillers.
Botox® and fillers are all about placement — the right muscle, the right depth, the right amount. Dentists are trained in the anatomy of the face and jaw, which guides careful placement.
And because we already understand your bite and jaw muscles, we can coordinate it with your dental care when Botox® is used therapeutically for clenching, TMJ, or a gummy smile.
Same face. Same muscles. Daily familiarity.
Cosmetic refinement and clenching care from a doctor trained in the anatomy of the face and jaw.
Our goal is a refreshed, rested version of you — never frozen, never overdone.
If you're already a patient for TMJ, airway, or restorative care, your aesthetics fit seamlessly into one plan.
Treatment in a professional dental setting by a doctor trained in facial and jaw anatomy.
Dentists are trained in the anatomy of the face, muscles, and jaw — the areas Botox® and fillers target. That training is relevant when Botox® is used therapeutically for clenching, TMJ, or a gummy smile.
It may. When the jaw-closing (masseter) muscles are overactive from clenching and grinding, Botox® can be used to relax them, which may reduce clenching-related muscle tension. Results vary, and it is usually considered alongside conservative jaw care.
Cosmetically, Botox® softens lines such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet, and can address a gummy smile; dermal fillers restore volume and smooth folds. Therapeutically, Botox® can relax overactive jaw muscles related to clenching and TMJ. We review your options at your consultation.
That's not our style. We aim for natural, refreshed results that look like a well-rested you — subtle refinement, not an obvious "work done" look.
Results vary by individual and treatment area; Botox® effects are temporary and typically maintained with periodic treatment. We'll set realistic expectations at your consultation.
Request a consultation. Whether it's cosmetic refinement, help with clenching, or both — we'll build the right plan for you.
