What Are Botox and Dermal Fillers?
Botox and dermal fillers are injectable treatments used in dentistry and facial care:
- Botox® is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes muscles. It can reduce facial lines, soften a tense jaw, and ease muscle-related pain.
- Dermal Fillers are gel-like substances placed under the skin. They restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance natural facial contours.
Both treatments are safe, quick, and performed right here in our Rockville office.
Cosmetic Benefits of Botox & Dermal Fillers
Over time, natural changes in the face can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Many patients choose Botox and fillers as a non-surgical way to refresh their appearance.
Botox smooths frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Fillers plump areas like the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. The results of both treatments are natural-looking and can last for months.
Cosmetic injectables are a great way to regain confidence without downtime.
Botox for TMJ and Jaw Pain
Beyond aesthetics, Botox can be an effective treatment for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. TMJ issues often cause jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding, or clicking when opening the mouth. By relaxing the overworked jaw muscles, Botox can:
- Reduce jaw tension and clenching
- Lessen headaches and facial pain
- Protect teeth from grinding damage
- Improve comfort during daily activities
Many patients find relief after just a few treatments, making it a simple and effective option for managing TMJ discomfort.
