How Botox from your dentist in Brentwood, TN, can help you look your best
You’ve probably heard about Botox, but did you know many dentists now provide Botox for their patients? It’s true! In addition to giving you a healthy, beautiful smile, your dentist can now also help you look younger with Botox!
Dr. Douglas McMillan in Brentwood, TN, offers comprehensive dental services, including Botox to help you look your best.
So, what is Botox and what can it do for you? Botox is an injectable material derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily freezing the muscles and nerves around the injection site. Botox can do a lot to reduce the signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox is a perfect solution to minimize the appearance of:
- Crow’s feet, which are the fine lines at the corners of your eyes
- Glabella, which are the deep creases between your eyebrows
- Furrows, which are the lines running across your forehead
- Smile and laugh lines around your mouth and nose
Botox injections are tolerated well by most people, and you can also request a numbing spray beforehand. The number of injections you need will vary depending on the area being treated, and your individual characteristics.
After treatment, you can expect your skin to look smoother and more youthful. The effects of Botox can last from 4 to 6 months, and you may need maintenance treatments to continue looking your best.
Botox treatment is the perfect way to show off cosmetic dentistry procedures too. You can pair Botox with popular cosmetic dentistry procedures like these:
- Professional teeth whitening, which can whiten your smile up to 8 shades
- Dental bonding, to repair chips, cracks, and other tooth damage
- Porcelain veneers, to give you a celebrity perfect smile
