From Frown Lines to Gummy Smiles: BOTOX® Cosmetic and XEOMIN® in Dental Care
While most people associate BOTOX Cosmetic and XEOMIN with smoothing wrinkles and softening frown lines, their applications extend far beyond the aesthetic realm. In the hands of a skilled dental professional, these neuromodulators can enhance both appearance and function—offering elegant solutions to concerns that span from facial aging to smile harmony.
The Art and Science of Facial Balance
All of our dentists here at Scottsdale Smile Center possess a deep understanding of facial anatomy and are certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, which uniquely positions them to administer BOTOX Cosmetic and XEOMIN with precision. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing overactive muscles, allowing for targeted correction of dynamic lines and imbalances that affect the facial appearance—particularly in the perioral region.
At Scottsdale Smile Center, BOTOX Cosmetic and XEOMIN can not only be utilized for facial rejuvenation when coupled with a dental treatment plan*, but they can also help support comprehensive dental care and address other concerns. By integrating these advanced injectables into treatment plans, we can help patients achieve a more confident, youthful look while improving an array of common conditions.
Beyond Aesthetics: Therapeutic Benefits
BOTOX Cosmetic and XEOMIN can be remarkably effective in treating conditions that intersect beauty and wellness:
- Gummy Smile Reduction: When a patient’s upper lip lifts excessively, more gum tissue is exposed than desired. A small amount of BOTOX or XEOMIN can relax the elevator muscles, creating a more proportionate and graceful smile.
- Lip Line Softening: Fine lines around the mouth—commonly referred to as “smoker’s lines”—can be gently smoothed to enhance the appearance of the lips and improve the outcome of cosmetic dental work.
- Jaw Tension & Bruxism Relief: In select cases, these neuromodulators can be used to alleviate clenching, grinding, and tension-related discomfort by calming hyperactive jaw muscles, offering patients both relief and protection of their dental restorations.
