Botox: cosmetic and therapeutic treatments for a harmonious smile

At Fullum Dental Clinic, Botox® is used both to improve the aesthetics of the smile and to reduce muscle pain in the jaw. Thanks to their precise understanding of orofacial anatomy, our dentists inject Botox in a targeted manner to relax certain muscles, reduce wrinkles, reduce bruxism, and provide greater comfort on a daily basis. It is an effective, safe, and natural solution for optimizing the appearance and functionality of the face.

The uses of Botox in dentistry

Botox administered in dental clinics serves two main purposes. From an aesthetic standpoint, it reduces gummy smiles, softens wrinkles around the mouth, smooths forehead wrinkles, glabella wrinkles, and crow's feet, and improves the overall harmony of the face and smile. Therapeutically, it helps reduce bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching), relax the masseter and temporal muscles, relieve pain related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and reduce certain muscle-related migraines.

How is Botox treatment performed?

Each appointment begins with a comprehensive assessment: facial mobility, occlusion, muscle tone, and aesthetic or therapeutic goals. The injections are administered using very fine micro-needles directly into the targeted muscles. The treatment is quick (15 to 30 minutes), non-invasive, requires no recovery time, and is generally very well tolerated. The first effects appear within 3 to 7 days, with optimal results after two weeks.
