BOTOX® Alpharetta, GA

BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a versatile injectable treatment that can enhance both aesthetics and oral health. While commonly associated with reducing facial wrinkles, BOTOX has gained recognition for its ability to relieve pain and discomfort caused by various dental conditions. Whether you are seeking a refreshed appearance or relief from jaw tension, BOTOX may be an effective solution.

Cosmetic BOTOX for a Youthful Appearance

As you age, repetitive muscle movements and facial expressions can lead to wrinkles and fine lines. BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, smoothing lines and preventing further creasing. If you have moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet or forehead wrinkles, BOTOX can help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed look.

The treatment is quick, minimally invasive and requires no downtime. Our team carefully administers small injections into the facial muscles, often using ice or a numbing cream for added comfort. You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect appearing in about a week. Results typically last three to four months, after which maintenance treatments can help you preserve your rejuvenated appearance.

Therapeutic BOTOX for TMJ & Facial Pain Relief

Beyond its cosmetic benefits, our dentist may also recommend BOTOX as an effective treatment for patients experiencing discomfort due to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, bruxism (teeth grinding) and chronic facial pain. When injected into the jaw muscles, BOTOX helps reduce excessive muscle contractions, alleviating tension, soreness and headaches caused by overactive jaw movement.

Patients who suffer from TMJ-related pain, jaw clenching or nighttime grinding may benefit from BOTOX as part of their overall treatment plan. Many patients report significant relief within days of their injection, with results lasting several months. Unlike traditional approaches such as night guards, BOTOX directly addresses the source of muscle tension, providing an alternative for those who have not found relief through conventional methods.

A Safe & Effective Treatment Option

BOTOX is a nonsurgical treatment with minimal side effects. Most patients experience only mild discomfort at the injection sites, which typically subsides quickly. You can resume normal activities immediately following your appointment.
