Your dental health is closely connected to your overall appearance and self-esteem. Dr. Jared French proudly offer BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) to help you feel confident in your smile and your facial appearance. BOTOX is a trusted, FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. With expert precision and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, our dentist is uniquely qualified to provide this treatment safely and effectively.
What to Expect from BOTOX Treatment
BOTOX works by relaxing targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions such as frowning, squinting or smiling. The treatment process is quick and minimally invasive. Most appointments last only 10 to 20 minutes, and no surgery, incisions or stitches are involved. Your provider will use a fine needle to carefully inject small amounts of the medication into specific areas of the face. A topical numbing cream or ice may be used beforehand to ensure a comfortable experience.
Results typically begin to appear within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect visible within one to two weeks. The smoothing results of BOTOX can last for up to four months, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking a subtle yet noticeable facial refresh.
Additional Benefits of BOTOX in Dentistry
In addition to its cosmetic uses, BOTOX can provide therapeutic relief for several dental-related conditions. If you suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, bruxism (teeth grinding) or chronic facial pain, BOTOX may help reduce muscle tension and discomfort. It has also been used to ease tension headaches and migraines that are triggered by dental or jaw-related issues.
