At Mountain Dental Care, we use BOTOX® to help improve facial aesthetics and treat minor jaw joint (TMJ) concerns.

BOTOX® Treatment

At Mountain Dental Care, our team offers all the cosmetic dental services patients need to enhance their smiles and appearance, including BOTOX®.

Did you know, however, that BOTOX is not just for cosmetic treatments but can also relieve the pain and discomfort of a jaw joint problem known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD)?

Here’s what you should know about how we use BOTOX at Mountain Dental Care.

What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a form of botulinum toxin that is purified and strategically injected into specific muscles in small, controlled doses to temporarily relax them. Its effects generally last four to six months.

When the muscles relax, they reduce fine lines and wrinkles and can also relieve jaw and muscle pain and headaches caused by TMD.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does BOTOX® help with TMD?

The dentists at MDC often recommend BOTOX® as an effective treatment for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). This innovative approach can significantly relieve patients struggling with jaw pain and discomfort.

BOTOX temporarily relaxes the muscles around your jaw. Jaw muscles are powerful and exert massive force, which can lead to inflammation and pain. When injected into specific facial muscles, BOTOX blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This reduction in muscle activity can alleviate the tension and strain on your temporomandibular joint, leading to decreased pain and improved jaw function.

The treatment is quick, typically taking only 10-15 minutes, and causes minimal discomfort or downtime. Many patients notice improvements within a few days; full effects are usually seen within two weeks to a month—the benefits typically last three to four months, providing extended relief from TMD symptoms.

Why Choose Your Dentist for BOTOX Injections?

It's important to note that BOTOX for TMD is a specialised treatment. Our dentist's expertise ensures precise injections tailored to your specific needs. While not a permanent solution, regular treatments can offer long-term management of TMD symptoms, helping you regain comfort and quality of life.

If you're struggling with TMD, we encourage you to book a consultation with one of our dentists to discuss whether BOTOX in Tamborine Mountain might be right for you.

BOTOX for Cosmetic Purposes

To create a youthful look, we can use BOTOX to smooth lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and the fine lines around the eyes and mouth.

Some patients combine BOTOX with cosmetic dentistry to take years off their appearance and rejuvenate their facial aesthetics.

BOTOX to Treat TMD Discomfort

TMD is a disorder that occurs when your jaw joint isn’t functioning correctly. It can result in several different symptoms, such as:

Tenderness when biting or chewing
Neck and shoulder pain
Jaw joint clicking or popping upon opening and closing
Frequent headaches or migraines
Limited jaw movement
Jaw locking open or closed

The dentists at MDC often recommend BOTOX treatment for patients suffering from TMD discomfort. Sometimes, we combine BOTOX with other treatments to help TMD patients achieve relief.
