If you’ve ever wondered how to smooth fine lines around your smile or find relief from jaw tension, you’re in the right place. At Union Hills Family Dental Care & Orthodontics, we’re more than your cosmetic dentists in Phoenix, AZ; we’re your partners in facial harmony and confidence. Discover how Botox can elevate both your appearance and oral health in one seamless experience.
What Is Botox and Why Dentists Use It
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. While it’s famously used in dermatology for wrinkle reduction, we harness its power for:
- Smile Line Softening. Those tiny lines framing your mouth? They form from everyday expressions. Botox eases the muscle contraction, so your smile looks refreshed, not frozen.
- Gummy Smile Correction. If too much gum shows when you grin, Botox can moderate upper-lip movement; no surgery required: more tooth, less gum.
- TMJ & Teeth Grinding Relief. Chronic clenching strains your jaw joints and wears down enamel. Strategic Botox injections relax masseter muscles, easing pain and protecting your teeth.
- Facial Symmetry. Subtle muscle tweaks even out mild asymmetries for photos, and real life, that look natural and balanced.
By offering Botox in our dental office, we deliver both aesthetic and functional improvements in one visit. Why juggle appointments when you can get a brighter smile and smoother skin under one roof?
