Soften facial wrinkles
and relax jaw muscles
Dental facial rejuvenation with Botox is a specialized treatment that integrates dental care with aesthetic enhancements. At Orlando Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use Botox, a neurotoxin that relaxes facial muscles, to address both cosmetic and therapeutic needs. Botox injections help smooth wrinkles and fine lines, providing a non-surgical facelift that rejuvenates the face.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, dental facial rejuvenation treats various dental conditions. Botox effectively manages temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by reducing muscle tension and associated pain. It also alleviates bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the jaw muscles and prevents further dental damage. The minimally invasive procedure offers long-lasting results, typically lasting three to six months.
What can dental facial rejuvenation treat?
Botox treats perioral wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles around the mouth. The neurotoxin blocks acetylcholine release, preventing muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. This relaxation smooths the skin, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
TMJ disorders
Botox alleviates TMJ disorders by targeting the overactive muscles that contribute to joint pain and dysfunction. By inhibiting acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, Botox reduces muscle activity, thereby decreasing tension and pain in the temporomandibular joint.
Bruxism (teeth grinding)
In the case of bruxism, Botox is injected into the jaw muscles, particularly the masseter muscle, to relax them. This helps prevent the excessive muscle contractions that lead to teeth grinding. By reducing muscle activity, Botox minimizes the wear and tear on teeth and alleviates pain.
Migraines
Botox is injected into specific muscle areas around the head and neck to reduce muscle tension and inhibit the release of neurotransmitters that carry pain signals. This reduction in muscle activity and pain signals helps decrease the frequency and intensity of migraine episodes.

What happens during the dental facial rejuvenation procedure?
During the dental facial rejuvenation procedure, Dr. Ghetiya will assess your facial muscles and identify the areas that need treatment. After a thorough consultation, he will clean the targeted areas and may apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Using a fine needle, Dr. Ghetiya will then inject small amounts of Botox into the specific facial muscles.
You may feel a slight pinch during the injections, but the procedure is generally quick. The entire process usually takes about 15-30 minutes. Afterward, you can return to your daily activities with minimal downtime. Dr. Ghetiya will provide you with post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results and address any concerns you may have.
