Look no further than Union Dental Health for Botox and dermal filler treatments. Yes, you read that right – our friendly and skilled team can administer these popular cosmetic and therapeutic treatments.
If you’re in the Lewisburg or Susquehanna Valley area, you’re in luck – our dental practice offers Botox and Juvederm® treatments to help you achieve a more youthful and balanced look while relieving facial pain caused by bruxism or TMJ issues.
Here’s a breakdown:
Botox For Cosmetic Purposes
Botox is a highly effective treatment for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, particularly in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. As aging occurs, the repeated contractions of the muscles in these areas can cause the skin to become creased and wrinkled, giving the face a more ‘aged’ look. When Botox is injected into the skin, it temporarily relaxes these contracted muscles, smooths out the skin, and gives you a more youthful and refreshed appearance. For these reasons, Botox has historically been a common anti-aging practice many people utilize.
While we believe that aging is beautiful and natural, we know that sometimes, getting Botox injections can go a long way in improving self-esteem.
But Botox isn’t just for cosmetic purposes – you can also use it therapeutically to help alleviate facial pain caused by bruxism or TMJ issues.
Botox For Jaw Pain
Roughly 20 percent of Americans experience Bruxism. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common condition that can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, neck, and head. It can occur both at night and during the day and is a cause of mild to extreme discomfort.
Similarly, over 10 million Americans suffer from some level of TMJ. TMJ issues can also cause pain in areas similar to Bruxism, with other pains such as earaches, headaches, and ear ringing.
Botox is a highly effective and successful treatment for reducing muscle tension and spasms, which are often the root cause of bruxism and TMJ issues. By injecting Botox into specific muscles in the jaw and face, we can help reduce the tension you experience that causes pain and discomfort. This can also help reduce the wear and tear on your teeth caused by Bruxism.
Dermal Fillers For Pain
In addition to Botox, Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm®, are another popular treatment we provide. These fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally derived substance that helps plump up and hydrate the skin. Juvederm® is used to add volume to the cheeks and other areas of the face, which can help alleviate muscular pressure that leads to pain and discomfort. It can also be used to correct a “gummy smile,” where the gums are overly prominent when you smile.
