Botox^® and Dermal Fillers

Botox^®/Dermal Fillers

Botox^® and dermal fillers are popular cosmetic treatments that are being seen more in the dentistry field. Not only are they anti-aging solutions, but they can also enhance the appearance of your smile and improve oral function.

Using Botox^® in Dentistry

A Botox^® injection temporarily paralyzes the targeted muscles. In cosmetic dentistry, we use this treatment to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines around the mouth. Botox can also reduce the appearance of a gummy smile. For general dentistry, Botox^® can help reduce the severity of bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the jaw muscles.

Using Dermal Fillers in Dentistry

Dermal fillers add volume and shape to the face. In cosmetic dentistry, we use these injectable substances to enhance the appearance of the lips and restore volume to the cheeks and jawline. Dermal fillers can also correct facial asymmetries, improving the overall balance and proportion of the face.

Things to Consider Before Treatment

We encourage patients to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cedeño before starting Botox^® or dermal fillers. During this appointment, you can discuss if the treatment is appropriate for you, potential risks and side effects, and your current state of health.

You should also have realistic expectations about the results of the treatment. They will not change your overall appearance or make you look like someone else. Finally, patients should note that Botox^® and dermal fillers are not permanent and will require regular appointments to maintain desired results.
