When you think about cosmetic dentistry, you may be picturing options like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, options focused directly on the teeth. But we also have options that can help reduce common signs of aging. In today’s blog, your team at Delightful Dental Care talks about cosmetic treatments like Botox and dermal fillers in Kansas City, MO.
Botox
Botox uses a specially derived form of the botulism toxin to offer improvements for facial beauty. When injected into specific areas of your face, this will interrupt signals to stop contractions in facial muscles, relaxing them to ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This can offer a more youthful appearance. When injected, the results can last anywhere from three to six months, and we can re-administer them during your routine checkup and cleaning visit. This can target wrinkles between the eyebrows and in the forehead, and also remove crow’s feet located at the outer corners of your eyes.
Dermal Fillers
Our team can also offer another injectable cosmetic treatment to ease the appearance of aging with dermal fillers. These can provide a younger appearance but filling areas with deep lines in your face, such as around the lips, the lined at the corners of your mouth, and the nasolabial folds. Again, when infected these results can last for months to come, and we can re-administer in the future as needed. The process is fast and comfortable, and offer results that you can see right away.
TMJ and Bruxism Applications
While Botox is mainly known for the cosmetic benefits, the medication was originally created to help ease headaches and migraines. In addition to that, these medications can help address the discomfort surrounding common oral health issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism. By replacing facial muscles in the jaw, we can help ease the pain and strain of TMJ disorder to stop headaches and other uncomfortable symptoms. For people who have bruxism, this can also help stop chronic teeth grinding and clenching to prevent further damage or your teeth. These could be used in conjunction with our custom oral appliances.
