Many individuals suffer from varying degrees of pain in the facial area, whether from stress, their bite, migraines, or TMJ dysfunction (TMD).
Vassey Dental Partners offers Botox® treatment to help relieve symptoms of TMD, migraine headaches, and other facial pain. After completing a Board-approved training course, we are credentialed by the Georgia Board of Dentistry to safely and effectively administer Botox®.
Botox treatment is a simple injection of Botox into the impacted muscles in the neck, face, and jaw. This is done in-office through our dentists who are trained and approved in the procedure by the Georgia Board of Dentistry.
Botox does not work immediately, but over three to five days after the treatment, patients experience a reduction in pain and a relaxing of the muscles.
No, the Botox injection itself is not painful, but it may cause discomfort similar to a small bug bite. Typically applying ice to the site of the injection or injections is all that is required. Some people may also choose to apply a small amount of numbing cream for a day after the procedure.
Each individual is different, but most patients will find results lasting about 3 months, with the results extended further with subsequent treatments. It is also possible to train muscles to relax, which limits the need to continue with Botox therapy.
Our staff will provide information prior to your scheduled treatment. With any Botox treatment, do not drink alcohol or use any NSAID medication or blood-thinning medication prior to the treatment without talking to our dentists in advance. Discuss any supplements or prescription medication with the dentist during the consultation appointment. Do not wear makeup on the area to be treated.
Some people may experience slight bruising and redness at the injection site that naturally fades in a few hours to a day. There are some side effects with Botox, and our dentist will review those with you at the consultation and again at the treatment.
The cost of Botox treatment is based on the specifics of each patient’s treatment plan.
