Soften fine lines or ease a tight, clenching jaw
Maybe the lines on your forehead show up in every photo, or you wake up with a sore jaw after a night of clenching. Our Henniker team offers Botox for both, in the dental office you may already visit for cleanings.
How Botox softens lines and calms clenching
Botox is a purified protein that blocks the nerve signals telling a muscle to contract, so the muscle it's injected into relaxes. In the face, a relaxed muscle can't crease the skin as deeply, so expression lines soften. The muscles we don't treat keep working, so you can still smile, frown, and raise your brows.
In the jaw, Botox calms the masseter, the chewing muscle behind most clenching and grinding. Less force on your teeth and jaw joints can ease the strain that leads to jaw pain and morning headaches. Dentists study the muscles of the face and jaw in depth, so your Henniker dentist places each injection with your bite and jaw movement in mind.
Cosmetic and therapeutic Botox in Henniker
Cosmetic Botox, for fine lines and wrinkles
Botox can smooth fine lines and wrinkles in three common areas:
- Forehead: the horizontal lines that show when you raise your brows.
- Around the eyes: the crow's feet that form when you smile or squint.
- Around the mouth: fine lines near the lips.
Therapeutic Botox for jaw tension and grinding
If you clench or grind your teeth, Botox can relax the overactive muscles that contribute to TMJ symptoms. If Botox is a good fit for you, that can mean less jaw pain, fewer headaches, and less clenching.
Welcoming new patients, Monday through Friday.
What a Botox appointment is like
A Henniker Botox visit is usually short: a few quick injections with a very fine needle.
- 01
The injections: small amounts go into the specific muscles behind your lines or clenching.
- 02
Afterward: most people go right back to work or errands. Avoid rubbing the treated area for the rest of the day.
- 03
When you'll see a change: results usually appear within several days and settle in about two weeks.
Costs and coverage for Henniker Botox
