TMJ + Filler Treatments

Nothing better complements a healthy, sparkling smile than beautiful skin. At InStyle Dental Group in Houston, you can achieve both great-looking teeth and reap the benefits of the FDA-approved wrinkle-fighting properties of the botulinum toxin and our lip injections.

Improve and Prevent Noticeable Signs of Aging

The botulinum toxin used in our office is in a purified form; the product contains no live bacteria. This widely-popular, proven anti-wrinkle treatment is safe and highly effective at preventing and smoothing fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and across the forehead.

How Does It Work?

Your Houston dentist injects the botulinum into your facial muscles. The toxin interrupts nerve-muscle connections, making it impossible for muscles to contract. Continuous muscle contractions lead to creases in the skin. When the motion stops, the wrinkles go away. Results are visible in about two to 10 days following treatment. The smoothing effect should last 3-4 months. Once lines and wrinkles begin to resurface, it is time for another series of injections.

Dental Uses

This treatment is not only used for aesthetic purposes, but dentists also use the injections to treat TMJ and teeth grinding. The painful contractions that contribute to these chronic disorders are greatly reduced because the botulinum toxin relaxes muscles. Patients report less facial pain and significant relief.

When the injections are used in conjunction with dermal fillers for lip augmentation, the weakened muscles around the lip can no longer raise as high. Although the patient can no longer elevate the lip as high as before treatment, eating, speaking, and kissing ability are not impacted. The advantages of using this combination are rapid results in only one treatment visit, and there is no tooth preparation.

What are the benefits of our lip treatment?

The lip treatment available at InStyle Dental Group in Houston is a dermal filler that gets injected into the skin around the mouth to plump up smile lines and smooth wrinkles.

The injection is placed mainly in areas that frame the mouth. The substance is injected beneath the creases and folds to restore lost volume and typically lasts about six to 18 months.
