Why Botox?

Botox is a trade name for botulinum toxin, which comes in the form of a purified protein. Botox is a safe, effective, proven method for smoothing out wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth. Our favorite Botox injectable right now is Xeomin, the purest form of botulinum toxin.

What to Expect

BeforeTreatment

Arrive at your consult or treatment appointment without makeup. Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to treatment and anti-inflammatory medications for 7 days prior to treatment when possible. Patients should not be needle-phobic.

DuringTreatment

Your injector will mark the areas where the botox will be injected. A very small needle is used to inject the Botox under the skin. Most patients describe a very small pinch or nothing at all! The treatment will take about 10-15 minutes.

AfterTreatment

Do not exercise or partake in any strenuous activity for 4-6 hours after botox injections. Do not rub or massage the treated area. Avoid makeup application for 2 hours. Do not lie down for 4 hours. The effects should take place 2-10 days after injections. Enhancements (additional units) may be required after 2 weeks if the desired effect is not achieved. Call for a follow-up as needed.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming. They talk to you like a person and not just another “patient”. They explain everything and take their time to answer questions for as long as it takes. The best dental office I’ve ever been a patient of.

Martin H.

I am impressed after my first appointment with Dr Ullrich. I was dreading my appointment since I had not seen a dentist in years. She put me at ease and was gentle, thorough, and explained my next steps.

Kimmerly

My childhood experience with my home town dentist left me fearing going to the dentist... until being introduced to this practice. What an amazing and painless approach to dentistry. Friendly, welcoming and capable. Thank you

Mark D.

Everyone was friendly. Dr.Edwards did a thorough job reviewing my Xray and explained everything clearly. The technician that did my X-rays was great

Christine G.

One of the best experiences at a dentist in a long time. After an exhaustive search for a new dentist they came highly recommended from coworkers and I can see why. From the office staff who were very helpful, the hygienist who made sure I was aware of what was going on at every step and the tech who did my X-rays and scans was one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. You can't go wrong with them.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Botox?

Botox is a trade name for botulinum toxin, which comes in the form of a purified protein. Botox is a safe, effective, proven method of smoothing out wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth. Our favorite Botox injectable right now is Xeomin, the purest form of botulinum toxin.

How does Botox work?

Wrinkles are caused by the repetitive contraction of the muscles underneath the skin. Botox attaches itself to the nerve endings that are responsible for nerve transmission to the facial muscles. This partially and temporarily paralyzes the muscles so they are not able to contract at their full capacity. This creates a smoother facial appearance approximately 2 to 10 days after treatment. The effects of Botox last approximately 3 to 4 months.

What treatments do we specialize in?

Lip Flip/Gummy Smile Correction: Botox treatment can be used around the mouth and along the border of the lip to relax the muscle/lips. This gives the illusion of a fuller lip (without filler!) and less gummy smile.
TMJ Injections for Teeth Grinding/TMJ Issues: By injecting the largest muscle in the TMJ, the masseter, we can greatly reduce the strength in which the muscle contracts. For patients with chronic teeth grinding or bruxism, this helps stop or reduce teeth grinding at the source.
Jaw Reshaping/Slimming: Over the course of several treatments (6-12 months) of Botox injections into the masseter muscle, Botox treatment can actually cause the muscle to shrink over time since it cannot contract at full strength. For patients with a more square jaw or prominent jaw muscle, this can create a more slim/oval shaped face vs. square.
Injections for Crows Feet, Scowl Lines, Forehead Wrinkles

How do I know if Botox treatment is right for me?

The doctor will evaluate your face at the time of treatment to decide where and how much Botox is right for you. Every face is different, but Botox treatment is generally great for patients with fine lines and wrinkles, as well as for younger patients interested in preventing signs of aging. Botox can also help treat the appearance of a “gummy smile” by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, and can also treat TMJ related muscle pain and headaches.

Does Botox treatment freeze your face?

This is a common misconception about Botox injections. Botox treatment does not have to create a frozen look. With proper technique, your face can still have natural movement while lessening the creasing of the skin.
