Botox
Are you looking for a solution for TMJ-related jaw pain? Or are you exploring options for headache relief? Our dentists offer Botox in Chester, VA, to help you manage headaches or reduce TMJ symptoms. These injections can also help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles!
How Does It Work?
Botox is a type of neurotoxin that temporarily stops your facial or jaw muscles from contracting or tightening up. This reduced activity helps smooth fine lines and lower the risk of having more of them form. It also helps ease tension that’s related to headaches and TMJ.
What Is It Used For?
We use Botox injections to help relieve jaw soreness and other aches and pains associated with jaw joint disorders. It’s also helpful for reducing chronic headaches and teeth grinding, a common cause of TMJ symptoms. Botox is also used for cosmetic purposes, like minimizing wrinkles.
What Are Botox Benefits?
Receiving these injections offers the following benefits:
- Gives skin a refreshed appearance
- Relieves head pain and jaw soreness
- Reduces bruxism or teeth grinding
- Has a quick recovery time
- Produces fast results
- Improves your self-confidence
Is Botox Safe?
Yes, these injections are safe — but you’ll need to have a trained professional administer them. The FDA has approved Botox for cosmetic and therapeutic uses. You might have some redness and slight swelling afterward, but it’s short-term. Have additional concerns? We’re happy to discuss them with you!
Are You a Good Candidate?
Our dentists need to ensure that Botox is right for you before providing this treatment. We’ll consider a few factors to determine this, such as whether you have allergies to any of its ingredients.
What to Expect?
We start with a comprehensive consultation to create a treatment plan for you and determine if you’re a suitable candidate. During treatment, we administer these injections quickly with minimal discomfort. You can expect every session to be roughly 30 minutes or less.
How Long Results Last
That depends on various factors, but Botox results may last for 3 to 6 months. Coming in for regular sessions helps these results last longer. Our team can recommend a timeframe for this treatment, such as how often to visit us.
