the benefits
of botox therapy in dentistry
When you think of Botox, you most likely think of its most common use, which is to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. Botox is made from Botulinum toxin, and when used correctly and in the proper doses, it can have a wide-reaching variety of positive effects.
At The Dental Standard, we pride ourselves on offering a transformative dentistry experience, with evidence-based approaches to bring you dental excellence. One of the ways we do this is through Botox. Dr. Vlad Crutcher, the founder of The Dental Standard, has a background in cosmetic dentistry, which enables him to envision and perfect the aesthetic possibilities of each patient’s smile and surrounding facial areas.
Reasons that patients might come to us for Botox therapy include:
- Lessen the appearance of lip lines
Even once your exams and cleaning in Chicago have been finished, your comprehensive dental care is not over. Our team at The Dental Standard is dedicated to giving you the whole package. After you have had your teeth completely cleaned, you can feel free to discuss your past medical history, along with any questions you have about preventing future dental disasters.
- Providing facial rejuvenation
- Adjust your lip shape
- Reduce the appearance of a gummy smile
- Create a smoother transition from natural teeth to dentures or dental implants
Dentures and dental implants can be an effective solution to missing teeth, but when your teeth are a different size than what you are used to it can cause discomfort in some patients. Botox treatments injected around the muscles of the mouth can help relax the area and relieve discomfort caused by dentures, dental implants, or an orthodontic service.
- Reduce teeth grinding
- Alleviating symptoms of TMJ disorders and jaw tension
- Alleviating migraine symptoms
Benefits of Botox therapy include:
- The sessions are typically quick and do not take longer than 30 minutes.
- The results are relatively long-lasting, extending for about six months before a follow-up treatment, depending on the type of Botox therapy performed.
- Injections are minimally invasive and virtually painless.
- Botox injections are more economical than surgical alternatives.
- Patients will notice results quickly.
- Injections can be adjusted to fit each individual’s goals and needs.
- Our dentists will customize the treatments to look natural within the patient’s face and appearance.
- The treatments require minimal to no downtime and allow patients to solider on with an extra boost of self-confidence.
