We offer a full range of oral surgery treatments and other options to address everything from facial damage to replacing missing teeth, including dental implant placement. But did you know that we also offer Botox? In our latest blog, your Dubuque, IA, dentist talks about how we help improve facial beauty with Botox and even offer treatment for issues like TMJ disorder and for post-surgery recovery.
The Botox Treatment
Botox uses a specialized strain of the botulism toxin, which can interrupt signals between muscles to prevent the contractions that cause fine lines and wrinkles. We administer this with injections at specific sites in your face. This smooths these areas out and offers a more youthful appearance. The results of this temporary paralyzing effect can last for up to six months, and we can re-administer during your checkup visits. We can offer this to help boost the appearance of your face and smile, but this can also aid in treating issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) by easing strain in the jaw and facial muscles.
Aiding Treatment Post-Surgery
When we conduct oral surgery, which can range from tooth extraction and dental implant placement to jawbone grafting and sinus lifts, we want to ensure a successful and limited healing period. Post-surgery, we can employ Botox to help ensure proper balance and symmetry in your facial structures. This can also help ease any stress or strain in the face or jaw as the areas heal, so you are more comfortable during this process. In addition to a younger appearance, you can enjoy a more comfortable healing period post-surgery.
Re-Administering
As we mentioned above, the results of Botox tend to last four to six months on average. If you enjoy the benefits in your face’s appearance, you may be interested in having this re-administered later. Talk to our team about your options! We look forward to helping you with your oral surgery needs, and we take time to ensure improved facial esthetics too, so you feel confident in your appearance. If you have any questions about how we use Botox to help your smile, or if you want to schedule a visit, then contact our team today to learn more. You still have time to see us and start care before the holiday season is too hectic, so you can use your remaining 2024 dental benefits before they expire at the end of the year.
