Dental Botox

Dental Botox is a procedure performed using botulinum toxin, primarily aimed at improving smile aesthetics and chewing function.

The treatment involves relaxing facial muscles and controlling overactive muscle activity.
It is especially beneficial for patients who suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism), as it helps alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by excessive tension in the jaw muscles.
By reducing the overactivity of the chewing muscles, Botox helps prevent tooth wear and relieves associated pain.

Dental Botox can also be used to enhance smile aesthetics.
In cases of a “gummy smile”—where too much gum tissue is visible when smiling—Botox can help reduce the appearance of the gums, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. The procedure is typically quick and painless, and patients can return to their daily routines immediately after treatment.

Patients usually begin to notice results within a few days.
Mild and temporary side effects such as slight swelling or bruising may occur, but these typically resolve within a short time.
The effects of Botox generally last between 3 to 6 months, and more lasting results can be achieved with regular treatments.
