Why You Can Get Botox and Dermal Fillers at the Dentist
As a highly trained and experienced dentist, Dr. Patel has an in-depth knowledge of the musculoskeletal structure of the face. This enables her to work with you to achieve a beautiful, lasting result using Botox and dermal fillers. Dr. Patel and our dental care team are uniquely qualified to deliver cosmetic services. These services can help you achieve a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Botox and dermal fillers could reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These cosmetic treatments can also address other signs of aging, like lost volume and facial sagging.
However, in some cases, these cosmetic treatments can address teeth grinding and symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). They also address muscle problems that arise from chronic teeth clenching and grinding. Botox and dermal fillers can treat sore muscles, headaches, lockjaw, and jaw tension.
Visiting our Hoffman Estates, IL office to receive Botox and dermal fillers can save you time regarding dental care. Patients can receive cosmetic treatment in just one visit to our dental office. Dr. Patel can work with you to monitor your results. She can also provide touch-up treatments during routine dental visits for your convenience.
Real Patients, Real Results: Before and Afters
Botox and Dermal Fillers in Hoffman Estates, IL
Dr. Patel will meet with you to evaluate your skin’s condition, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment for achieving the look you desire. Our facial treatments are tailored to your unique needs for a safe, natural-looking result that addresses your concerns or completes a smile makeover.
Botox® Cosmetic
This popular cosmetic solution can help support your smile. Botox in our Hoffman Esates, IL, office can treat dynamic wrinkles or wrinkles created by muscle movements. These movements occur most often when smiling, frowning, and squinting. Examples of dynamic wrinkles can include crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.
Botox is an FDA-approved neurotoxin that targets muscles commonly used in facial expressions. The neurotoxin acts as a muscle relaxing agent, helping to reduce contractions in the face. As the muscles relax, the skin covering them often becomes smooth. This can help reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles.
Botox is not a permanent solution to facial aesthetics. Patients will need touch-up treatments to ensure their smile remains wrinkle-free. Most patients can expect Botox injections to last between three and six months. Scheduling your touch-ups alongside your routine dental cleanings can help keep your smile fresh and beautiful year-round.
Botox for TMJ Treatment
Patients with TMJ disorders may also benefit from Botox treatment in our Hoffman Estates, IL office. Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are bite disorders that create painful symptoms. Common symptoms of TMD include facial and jaw pain, migraines, and headaches. This is due to tension in the facial muscles.
Because Botox works as a muscle-relaxant, injections often help reduce pain and discomfort in the jaw. When administered by a trained dental professional, Botox can be an effective treatment option for TMJ disorders. However, it does take some time for the injections to work, and most patients can expect to notice an improvement in symptoms after a few days.
Botox can help reduce pain and discomfort, but it is not a permanent treatment for TMJ. Many dentists recommend combining Botox treatment with custom-made nightguards that help safeguard against tooth grinding at night. Injections often provide relief for three to six months. Patients can schedule touch-up treatments to continue addressing TMJ symptoms.
Dermal Fillers
In addition to Botox, we provide dermal fillers. Most dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, a skincare ingredient that helps smooth and tone the skin.
Fillers add volume to facial lines, including the cheeks, lips, and chin. They are a minimally invasive and long-lasting treatment option. Fillers can also target and treat smaller muscles in the face. We can use fillers to address marionette lines, acne scarring, laugh lines, and eye bags.
On average, fillers can last six or more months. Like Botox, patients may want to undergo filler touch-ups after the initial treatment to maintain their results.
Patients can receive Botox and fillers simultaneously. This is because each injectable acts differently. We will use Botox first to freeze the muscles. Then, after we provide Botox, we will add volume to the face with dermal fillers.
We can safely provide both cosmetic treatments in one session. We will precisely plan treatment so the injectables work on different parts of the face.
Botox® and Dermal Fillers FAQs
Discover more about Botox and dermal fillers in our Hoffman Estates, IL office. Read answers to these commonly asked patient questions:
How painful is Botox treatment?
Most patients who receive Botox say there is little or no pain with the procedure. Patients may feel minor discomfort and a pinch, which is normal. We will use a topical cream to minimize sensation or stinging during treatment.
How quickly will Botox results appear, and how long will they last?
Botox results typically become fully apparent around two weeks after the initial treatment and last a couple of months. Most patients undergo Botox treatment every six months to revamp their results.
Why do dentists give Botox treatment?
Dentists administer Botox treatment for a variety of reasons. Botox often helps patients who have pain in their face or jaw. It also helps with TMJ or TMD. Botox relaxes facial muscles around the mouth and can help many patients with muscle pain.
Dentists already have a thorough understanding of the facial structure. Many dental problems, including TMJ disorders, are connected to the smile. Dentists who complete Botox training are certified just like other certified Botox estheticians.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
You should not feel severe pain when you receive fillers. It is normal to feel some initial discomfort, particularly because fillers use a thicker gel. We will use an anesthetic to numb the treated areas before placing fillers.
What happens when dermal fillers wear off?
When your dermal fillers wear off, your skin will feel and look as it did before treatment. Dermal fillers use natural substances like hyaluronic acids that are reabsorbed into the body. You will notice that you lose volume in treated face areas as the fillers wear off.
