These treatments can improve the aesthetics of smile and complement dental therapies that we offer.
Botox has been widely used in the cosmetic industry for years, and its effectiveness in treating medical conditions led to its use in dentistry. At West Coast Oral Surgery, we use Botox to treat different conditions.
Bruxism and TMJ disorder: Botox can be used to treat or alleviate bruxism which is one of the leading causes of TMJ disorders.
Muscle training for denture fittings: Botox can be used to reduce muscle activity and allow the muscles to relax and adjust to the new dentures and decrease any discomfort or problems associated with them.
Gummy Smile – Some patients experience concerns over excessive gum showing in their smiles. Botox injected in the upper lip can reduce the appearance of gums when smiling by reducing lip motion.
Wide Jaw Lines – When the masseter muscle of the jaw is causing the appearance of a wide jawline, Botox can help. By Botox injection the muscle mass will reduce over time that results slimer jaw profile. Botox can achieve this through TMJ disorder therapy or as an aesthetic treatment.
Wrinkles, Lines, Creases – Facial wrinkles can often be reduced using Botox. This treatment lowers stress in the muscles, induces relaxation in the skin, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, creases, and lines as a result.
Dermal fillers are another non-surgical option that we offer to improve your smile and facial aesthetic. As we age, our face develops creases and lines. These lines and creases can become worse over time, but dermal fillers can help reduce their appearance. Fillers work by stimulating collagen growth and providing fullness to the affected areas. Although they are not permanent, these treatments are affordable and can be reapplied as needed. At West Coast Oral Surgery, we believe that everyone deserves to have a beautiful smile and appearance. During your consultation with we will work with you to understand your oral/maxillofacial and cosmetic concerns and develop a treatment plan that is appropriate for you.
