Book OnlineBOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is widely known for its cosmetic benefits, such as smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. However, it is also FDA-approved to treat several medical conditions, including:
- Chronic migraines
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders
- Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching)
For these conditions, BOTOX® is often recommended as a temporary but effective treatment. It works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, allowing the muscles to relax. This not only relieves pain but, in the case of bruxism, can also help prevent further damage to the teeth and jaw.
During your treatment, a certified provider will carefully inject BOTOX® into targeted areas—typically around the jaw, neck, or ears—to alleviate tension and reduce symptoms. Our dentist will evaluate your muscle structure and the severity of your condition to determine the appropriate dosage for optimal relief. The procedure is quick, non-surgical, and minimally invasive, with no incisions, stitches, or downtime. You can resume your normal activities immediately after your visit.
