  • You’ve likely contorted your face to show that you’re happy, sad, scared, angry, disgusted, or surprised. In fact, according to researchers at Ohio State University, humans can make 21 different facial expressions to show their range of emotions. Each time you make one of these expressions, the muscles underneath your skin tense and bunch up, causing the elastin under your face to begin breaking down, which creates wrinkles and fine lines that make you appear older. Other factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and genetics can make wrinkles appear as well. Fortunately, Dr. Timmerman is a trained cosmetic dentist and offers BOTOX treatment to help restore your youthful glow and allow you to feel more confident in your appearance.

    What is it Like Getting BOTOX?

    BOTOX injections utilize diluted botulinum toxin to freeze muscles in your face, helping them to relax and release wrinkles and fine lines. It’s used in small doses to ease facial lines caused by frowning or aging. Typically, patients begin to notice results within five days that last between three and six months.

    When you first visit Dr. Timmerman for BOTOX injections, he’ll discuss your goals with you to determine what muscles to inject the treatment into. Each one takes approximately five to 10 minutes to administer, so depending on how many injections you’d like, appointments can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.

    Are You A Candidate For Dental BOTOX?

    Patients who have certain neuromuscular diseases, are pregnant, have skin disorders, or deep facial scars may not be good candidate for BOTOX, which is why it’s a good idea to schedule a consultation with Dr. Timmerman if you’re considering the procedure. Typically, the best candidates for BOTOX are patients who are in their late 20s or older and are looking to fix facial imperfections, including:

    Are There Side Effects Associated With Dental BOTOX Treatment?

    Unfortunately, BOTOX treatments have suffered an unfair stereotype thanks to years of inaccurate depictions in movies and on TV, with people suffering from drooping faces and paralyzed facial features after an injection gone wrong. When used correctly in a professional setting, however, dental BOTOX treatments are safe, non-toxic, and offer incredible cosmetic results with virtually no side-effects. In fact, BOTOX injections can improve a patients’ ability to express facial emotions, and can work to naturally highlight your unique facial features and bone structure. Injections are also virtually pain-free, and are FDA-approved for numerous cosmetic applications.

    If you have a painful TMJ disorder, a disproportionate lip line that’s skewing your smile, or a chronic dental condition such as grinding or clenching, BOTOX offers a simple, affordable, pain-free cosmetic solution that will help you achieve the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of.

    If you have embarrassment or fears concerning your teeth /mouth condition this is the place to come. Very professional! They put you immediately at ease. My teeth are in horrible condition. It was difficult for me to even make the apt as I’m so embarrassed to even open my mouth. From the receptionist to the doctor I was treated as if I was the only patient they had that day. They even helped me get financing! Make the call today you won’t be sorry.
