Benefits of Botox

There are many benefits to Botox, such as:

• Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive: Botox treatments are non-surgical and require little to no recovery time. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
• Quick Results: Most patients begin to see results within two to 10 days following treatment, with effects lasting around three months.
• Versatile Treatment: In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Botox can be an effective treatment for TMJ disorders, chronic headaches, and facial pain.
• Improved Esthetics: Botox not only alleviates pain but also smooths facial wrinkles, offering a dual benefit of pain relief and a more youthful appearance.

What Our Botox Can Treat:

At Newark Dental Associates, we offer Botox therapy for a variety of conditions, including:

• TMJ Disorder: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) occurs when there's a misalignment or dysfunction in the jaw joint. This can lead to symptoms such as headaches, facial pain, and jaw clenching. Botox helps by relaxing the muscles involved in these repetitive movements.
• Chronic Headaches: If you suffer from frequent tension or migraine headaches, Botox injections in specific muscle groups may provide significant relief.
• Facial Pain: Botox can help alleviate facial pain caused by muscle tension, offering relief for those with conditions like TMJ or other head and neck disorders.
• Cosmetic Concerns: Botox reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet, offering a smoother, rejuvenated appearance.

TMJ Botox Therapy Process at Newark Dental Associates

Botox for TMJ treatment is straightforward and effective. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes, depending on the number of injections required. Here’s how it works at our Newark dental office:

1. Consultation: We evaluate your condition to see if you qualify for this treatment. From there, we’ll determine the appropriate dosage (typically 40–50 units).
2. Injection: Botox is injected into the affected head and neck muscles, including the temporalis, frontalis, and masseter. These injections block nerve signals, relaxing the muscles and alleviating pain.
3. Results: You’ll begin to see results within two to 10 days, and relief lasts for approximately three months. With repeated treatments, many patients stop grinding or clenching altogether.

Aftercare

After your Botox treatment, you can resume normal activities immediately, as it’s non-invasive. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying down, or massaging the treated areas for a few hours. This helps ensure the Botox remains in the intended areas.
