Botox in Dentistry
Botox is widely used in dentistry to help manage a variety of dental and oral conditions. Botox works by reducing muscle contractions, allowing targeted facial and jaw muscles to relax.
In dentistry, Botox can be used to relieve pain and headaches associated with TMJ disorders, improve jaw function, and enhance facial aesthetics such as gummy smiles.
At Tustin Dental Group, we offer Botox treatments as a non-surgical option to alleviate chronic TMJ pain, headaches, and jaw soreness. Botox can also enhance facial smiles, with results that typically last up to three months.
Dr. Gina Assaf is a certified Botox administrator, and many of our patients have benefited from her expertise and personalized Botox treatments.
Dental Uses of Botox
Botox can help relieve pain, improve function, and enhance your smile in the following dental and oral conditions:
- Bruxism (Teeth Grinding and Clenching)
Relaxes the jaw muscles to reduce clenching and grinding, helping to protect teeth and relieve muscle tension.
- TMJ Disorder (TMD)
Eases jaw pain, muscle spasms, soreness, and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint disorders.
- Gummy Smiles
Relaxes the upper lip muscles to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile line.
- Facial Pain
Helps alleviate chronic facial pain and muscle spasms and may assist with conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia.
- Denture Adjustment
