As a dentist concerned about a patient's overall health and aesthetics, it seemed logical to me to receive training in Botox™ and dermal filler. Many may not know that a dentist' knowledge of head and neck regions matches or surpasses most physicians. Dentists also perform more injections in the oral and maxillofacial areas than any other medical profession.

I chose to receive Botox™ and dermal filler training from the highly accredited Academy of Facial Esthetics in 2013. I have since received additional training and accreditation as new classes are offered by the AAFE. The area of TMJ syndrome and other facial pain disorders, including headaches, migraines, stress and grinding of the teeth was important to me. Botox™ treatment can effectively relieve these conditions, by reducing the muscle strength to prevent clenching and grinding. This protects the teeth and diminishes or eliminates pain. Muscle tension responsible for headaches can also be treated.

The use of Botox™ and dermal filler to improve overall appearance of the smile and renew the entire face requires extensive knowledge of the facial muscles and how they interact. Dentists are trained well in anatomy and perform these procedures at a high level of safety and efficacy. Botox™ injections offer a quick anti-aging solution with minimal discomfort. Botox™ is an FDA-approved purified protein that temporarily blocks signals to the muscles to reduce wrinkles. When done properly there is no “frozen-face” result. Dermal fillers work to replace lost facial volume and decreased production of collagen. They return the facial anatomy to a more youthful appearance and enhance natural beauty. This is a minimally-invasive procedure with immediate results that also stimulates one's own collagen production.

BOTOX™

Botox™ is a purified protein neurotoxin that blocks signals between nerves and muscles. Botox™, when used therapeutically can prevent or lessen pain by relaxing tense muscles. When administered to key jaw muscles, a patient can gain relief from clenching and grinding (bruxing) thereby protecting the teeth. Botox is the FDA’s number one choice for the treatment of chronic migraines.
Cosmetic use of Botox™ can eliminate or reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful appearance. If you are looking to renew your facial appearance or to relieve pain, call for a free consultation.

DERMAL FILLERS

You can reclaim your skin’s natural youthful appearance with the use of Dermal Fillers. Dermal Fillers are gel-like substances made of elements that exist naturally in the body. As we age, facial features lose volume and elasticity due to decreases in the body’s production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin resulting in sagging skin, jowls, nasolabial folds and deep lines or wrinkles.

Dermal fillers can soften creases, smooth lines and increase volume. They can also enhance facial contours in areas such as the cheeks, lips and jawline. Men, women, young and old receive dermal fillers. Dermal fillers offer immediate results that are subtle and natural in appearance.
