ANTI-AGING AND PAIN RELIEF IN THE DENTAL PRACTICE
Botox® Treatment
At VanSmileDesign, we combine dental expertise with advanced facial aesthetics to offer FDA approved Botox® treatments.
Whether you're addressing dynamic wrinkles or managing jaw-related discomfort, our approach is rooted in clinical research, precision, and natural-looking results.
​
WHAT IS BOTOX® AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
​
Botox® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) is a neurotoxic protein produced by Clostridium botulinum. Administered in therapeutic doses as a purified protein, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals, relaxing the muscles that causes facial wrinkles. Over time, it can give your skin a smoother, less wrinkled and more youthful appearance.​
​
​COMMON TREATMENT AREAS FOR ANTI-AGING
​
-
Glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
-
Crow’s feet (lateral canthal lines around the eyes)
-
Forehead lines
-
Bunny lines (on the nose)
-
Radial lip lines ("smoker's or water bottle" lips)
​
Studies demonstrate visible improvement in wrinkle severity within 3–7 days, with peak effects at around 14 days, and results lasting approximately 3 to 4 months.
​
THERAPEUTIC RELIEF FOR TMJ AND BRUXISM
​
Botox® is increasingly used in dentistry to alleviate temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) and bruxism (teeth grinding). Research indicates that Botox® reduces the intensity of clenching, muscle spasms, and associated pain by weakening the masseter and temporalis muscles.
​
WHAT HAPPENS DURING TREATMENT?
​
-
​Tiny injections of Botox® are placed directly into the muscles that cause wrinkles.
-
The treatment takes about 10–20 minutes, with little to no discomfort.
-
Results appear within 3–7 days and can last about 3–4 months.
-
As the effect wears off, muscle movement gradually returns—regular treatments help maintain your results.
