What is Botox Used For In Dentistry?
At Roden Oral, Facial, and Dental Implant Surgery, Dr. R. David Roden Jr. and Dr. Rocklin Alling use BOTOX injections as a nonsurgical treatment for various dental and facial conditions. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms of TMJ disorder, bruxism (teeth grinding), and jaw tension by relaxing overactive muscles and reducing pain. BOTOX can also help with gummy smiles, facial asymmetry, and chronic migraines caused by muscle strain. This minimally invasive treatment provides long-lasting relief and enhances both function and aesthetics, improving patients' overall oral health and comfort. To learn more or find out if BOTOX can be used to treat your dental needs, contact us and schedule a consultation at our Birmingham, AL office.
How Are BOTOX Treatments Performed in Dentistry?
BOTOX treatments at our dental office are quick and minimally invasive. To begin, one of our team members will first assess the patient's concerns and determine the appropriate injection sites. Using a fine needle, small amounts of BOTOX are injected into targeted facial or jaw muscles to reduce tension and overactivity. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes, with minimal discomfort and downtime. Results gradually appear over the next few days, providing relief from TMJ pain, teeth grinding, and other dental-related concerns for several months.
What Are the Benefits of Using BOTOX in Dentistry?
BOTOX in dentistry offers several benefits, including:
- Relieves TMJ pain and discomfort
- Reduces teeth grinding and jaw clenching
- Eases muscle tension in the jaw and face
- Alleviates chronic headaches and migraines
- Improves the appearance of a gummy smile
- Treats facial asymmetry
- Minimizes facial wrinkles around the mouth and chin
Roden Oral, Facial, and Dental Implant Surgery Reviews
I have had 2 children have wisdom teeth removed here. The staff are all very kind and friendly. The Dr follows up the next day. I would recommend to anyone needing an oral surgeon to come here !
I had a great experience at Roden Oral Surgery. The results were great and recovery was minimal. Dr. Roden’s staff is very professional and I would definitively recommend.
Dr. Roden and his entire team, from the moment I walked into the office until the moment that I walked out were all kind, helpful, calming and informative. His team explained clearly what they were doing, why, when and what to expect. They were kind, gentle and compassionate. If you or anyone you know who has a need for anything with oral surgery, you should come to this practice for care. You will be amazed beyond belief. I am grateful for all of their care and helping me with my needs.
My experience was great. I felt comfortable the entire time I was there. Everyone was very professional as well as friendly. Dr Roden took time to discuss options with me and answered all my questions. Upon leaving directions were very easy to understand. I will recommend Dr. Roden to everyone.
Dr. Roden is amazing! Him and his staff make you feel like family from start to finish. Everything went smoothly. I have gotten my wisdom teeth removed by him, and most recently had a dental implant put in. Both were very easy for recovery. The implant I have almost felt no pain... that's how you know you have a great surgeon. The staff makes you feel calm before the surgery, and answers all questions. Dr. Roden has called me after both procedures to check on how I was feeling. He is truly the best, and I recommend him to all my friends and family!!!
