Refresh your smile and take years off of your face with Botox®, administered by your trusted cosmetic dentist, Dr. Roberto Palmieri.
What is Botox®?
Botox is a minimally invasive injection of a highly purified botulinum-toxin protein used for a variety of cosmetic and medical services, especially involving the face. It also has dental health applications, for example, to relax jaw muscles and reduce teeth grinding.
Why Choose Botox
Botox is simple, effective, and takes only minutes in our office, and the results are truly transformative.
How do Botox injections work?
Botox temporarily immobilizes the targeted muscles, reducing the number of muscle contractions, which are largely responsible for fine lines and wrinkles.
With bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) — whether stress-related or during sleep — Botox calms the nerves and tissues involved. Only the localized treatment area is affected, so there’s no danger of wider paralysis.
How do we use Botox for our patients?
How long do the effects of Botox last?
You’ll typically notice results within a week. Botox’s effects often last a few months, but results vary depending on why you received Botox and where, and you may need more or fewer treatments than others.
