Reduce Wrinkles, Treat Gummy Smiles, and Relax Jaw Muscles
Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, widely used in aesthetic and medical treatments. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In dentistry, Botox can enhance facial aesthetics by addressing concerns such as gummy smiles, lip lines, and jaw tension related to TMJ disorders. By calming overactive muscles, Botox refreshes your smile and relieves symptoms of teeth grinding and jaw clenching, contributing to improved dental and facial harmony.

Botox Treatments We Offer…
Perioral Wrinkle Correction
Perioral wrinkles, often called “lip lines” or “smoker’s lines,” are fine lines that form around the mouth due to aging, sun exposure, or repetitive facial expressions. Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for these lines, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance around the lips. The treatment is minimally invasive and subtly softens wrinkles without affecting your ability to express yourself naturally, giving the area around your mouth a refreshed look.
Gummy Smile Correction
A gummy smile can occur when the upper lip rises too far above the upper teeth, revealing an excess of gum tissue. Botox is applied to the muscles that control the upper lip, limiting its movement and preventing it from lifting too high when you smile. This adjustment creates a more balanced, natural-looking smile by subtly lowering the lip to cover excess gum tissue and improve overall smile aesthetics.
Bruxism Treatment
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can cause discomfort, jaw tension, and even damage to your teeth. Botox offers relief by relaxing the masseter muscles responsible for the force behind grinding and clenching. By reducing muscle activity in this area, Botox relieves jaw pressure, prevents further dental damage, and decreases pain associated with bruxism. The treatment provides comfort for those who suffer from chronic grinding.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) affects the jaw joints and can cause symptoms like jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty chewing. Botox is applied to the jaw muscles, such as the masseter and temporalis, to ease excessive tension and reduce involuntary movements contributing to TMJ discomfort. Botox treatment can alleviate jaw pain, minimize jaw clenching, and improve your ability to open and close your mouth with ease.
Lip Flip
A Botox lip flip is a technique that enhances the appearance of the upper lip by relaxing the muscles around it, causing the lip to gently “flip” outward. This creates the illusion of a fuller upper lip without adding volume through fillers. Ideal for those who want a subtle enhancement, the lip flip can improve lip symmetry and create a more prominent, attractive lip shape, complementing your natural smile.
