What are Facial Injectables?

Facial injectables are known for the treatment of cosmetic skin conditions such as wrinkles, worry lines or crow’s feet. Doctors use facial injectables to block certain chemical signals from the nerves, such as the signals that cause the facial muscles to contract and tighten. This allows the facial muscles to relax and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. However, facial injectables are also used in dentistry to help provide relief for many dental problems.

What are the Benefits of Facial Injectables?

Dr. Besho specializes in a facial injectable known medically as “onabotulinumtoxinA.” Our highly-trained staff use injectables to treat a wide variety of common facial, dental and periodontal issues. The procedure is simple and can be performed in one visit. Treatment takes less than an hour, and patients usually can see results in just a few days.

We recommend facial injectables for many common issues, such as:

• Bruxism: Clenching and grinding of the teeth can be reduced with facial injectables. Relaxing the muscles of the jaw can minimize the effects of bruxism on your teeth.
• TMJ: Patients who suffer from temporomandibular joint disorders may be candidates for treatment. Joint disorders cause patients pain due to the hyperactivity of the muscles surrounding the jaw joints. Treatment can relax these muscles and provide relief.
• Tooth loss: For patients with long-term tooth loss, facial injectables can be used to improve the appearance and position of their facial muscles to accommodate new dentures. This can make dentures easier to place and more comfortable to wear.
• Gummy smile: Patients who experience a “gummy smile” due to excess gum tissue or other periodontal issues can benefit from facial injectables. Our dentist can relax the lip muscles and achieve a natural and beautiful smile without the need for gum recontouring or invasive surgery.

Are Facial Injectables Safe?

Yes. Our highly-skilled and professional staff are trained to administer facial injectables. As with any treatment, patients may experience some discomfort or side effects. We will answer any questions you may have and discuss all your treatment options.
