Botox

At Fenton Family Dentistry in Fenton, MO

Botox® isn’t just used for eliminating wrinkles anymore! It’s quickly gaining popularity in the dentistry field because of all the incredible benefits it provides for your smile. Fenton Family Dentistry is proud to offer Botox® to our patients to help them feel better about their appearance.

What Is Botox®?

When Botox® is injected into a certain muscle group, it relaxes them. For cosmetic purposes, it reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles due to repetitive facial movements. A Botox® injection only lasts temporarily, which means you’ll need regular treatments to preserve and maintain its benefits.

How Botox® is Used in Dentistry

A Botox® injection can help many dental patients. Freezing the facial muscles can help with certain dental conditions and the side effects that come with them.Botox® can help with the following concerns:

Adjusting to new dentures

TMJ disorder

Bruxism

High lip line or gummy smile

How Long Does Treatment Last?

Unfortunately, Botox® does not last forever. The protein used in the injection will eventually wear off after three to four months, and you will need to get another treatment to keep experiencing the benefits. Every patient is different and can have their own unique experience and results.

Some patients, particularly those who have previously had a Botox® treatment, can see results that last about four to six months. First-timers generally notice a shorter treatment time.
