BOTOX® is widely known for its cosmetic benefits, but its uses extend far beyond smoothing wrinkles. At Aesthetic Dentistry of Georgetown, our dental team offers BOTOX® therapy for both facial aesthetics and TMJ-related pain, making it convenient to address cosmetic and functional concerns in one trusted location.
As dental professionals with advanced training in facial anatomy, muscle function, and jaw mechanics, our doctors are uniquely qualified to provide precise, medically guided BOTOX® treatments designed to look natural and support overall comfort.
Cosmetic Benefits of BOTOX®
Facial expressions are powered by small muscles beneath the skin. Over time, repeated movements — such as smiling, squinting, or frowning — can lead to visible lines and wrinkles. BOTOX® works by gently relaxing these targeted muscles, allowing the skin above them to appear smoother and more refreshed.
Cosmetic BOTOX® is commonly used to soften:
- Forehead lines
- Lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Gummy smiles
- Neck and perioral muscle tension
When administered with precision, BOTOX® does not change the way your face looks; it simply softens harsh lines while preserving natural expression. This makes it easy to appreciate the subtle, refreshed appearance that develops gradually over several days.
Therapeutic BOTOX® for TMJ Relief
BOTOX® is also an effective therapeutic option for those experiencing jaw pain, tension headaches, teeth grinding, or discomfort related to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ or TMD). These symptoms are often caused by overactive jaw muscles that place constant strain on the joint.
By carefully injecting small doses of BOTOX® into the muscles responsible for clenching or grinding, muscle activity is reduced. This relaxation allows the temporomandibular joint to rest, often leading to reduced pain, tension, and associated headaches.
Many patients report noticeable improvement within days of treatment, with continued relief as muscle strain subsides. BOTOX® is one of several strategies used to help manage TMJ symptoms and is often combined with other supportive therapies when appropriate.
What to Expect During BOTOX® Treatment
Your visit begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals — whether cosmetic, therapeutic, or both. Your dentist will evaluate facial muscle activity, jaw function, and overall oral health to determine the most effective treatment plan.
BOTOX® injections are performed in-office using fine needles and carefully mapped placement. The procedure is quick, and most patients return to normal activities immediately afterward. Results typically last multiple months, and maintenance treatments may be recommended based on your response and goals.
