    Botox Buford, GA

    Botox An Overview

    Chances are, you already know what Botox® is. You may not be aware that your dentist can now offer minimally invasive cosmetic treatments to reduce the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles.

    Lanier Family & Cosmetic Dentistry now offers more ways to help patients look and feel their best with Botox®. The Georgia Board of Dentistry credentials our dentists to administer Botox. Dr. Alla Brown and Dr. Amanda Newberry are trained in the safe and effective use of Botox for reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

    Their years of dental training have provided them with a deep understanding of how facial muscles function. Their skill set as dentists gives them an advanced perspective on achieving natural-looking results with Botox.

    Choosing your dentist to administer your Botox treatment makes sense. Botox results last for about six months, the same time frame as your dental cleaning and check-up!

    Your Lanier Smiles dentist can provide Botox treatment during your routine dental health exam, saving you time and eliminating the need for an additional doctor’s visit. Patients can have their biannual oral health exam, professional teeth cleaning, and Botox treatment completed in just one visit to our Buford, GA, dentist’s office.

    Next Level Smile Makeover

    Botox is an excellent way to elevate your smile makeover to the next level. Porcelain veneers and teeth whitening are great for enhancing the appearance of your teeth, but Botox can improve the skin around your smile, highlighting your beautiful new dental work.

    Botox injections are carefully injected into key muscle groups. The active ingredient in Botox “freezes” the muscles, temporarily preventing the display of frown lines or wrinkles. Botox can take years off your appearance in just a few minutes.

    Botox treatment is tailored to your unique cosmetic goals and desires. Your dentist will meet with you and help you determine the appropriate treatment plan to achieve your optimal look. Botox can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as part of a total smile makeover.

    Botox FAQs

    How long does Botox take to work?

    Botox usually starts to take effect within three to five days after treatment, with full results visible in about two weeks. The delay is due to the time it takes for the neurotoxin to block nerve signals and relax the targeted muscles. Patients seeking relief from TMJ pain, bruxism, or facial wrinkles should expect gradual improvements rather than immediate results.

    How long do the effects of Botox last?

    The effects of Botox generally last between three to six months, depending on the individual and the treated area. Factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, and frequency of use can affect how long the results last. Over time, with repeated treatments, some patients notice longer-lasting effects as the muscles weaken and become less active. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain the desired results and prevent symptoms from returning.

    Why would a dentist offer Botox treatments?

    Dentists are experts in facial anatomy, making them highly qualified to administer Botox safely and effectively. Many dental conditions, such as TMJ disorder, bruxism, and orofacial pain, can benefit from Botox treatments. Additionally, dentists trained in cosmetic dentistry often offer Botox to enhance the appearance of the lips, smile, and overall facial aesthetics. Since dentists frequently work with injections in delicate facial areas, they have the precision and knowledge needed for successful Botox administration.

    Does Botox hurt when injected?

    Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure rather than pain. The needles used for Botox injections are very fine, minimizing discomfort. In sensitive areas, we can use a topical numbing cream or ice to reduce any pain before the injection. Any mild soreness or redness at the injection site typically subsides within a few hours.

    Are there any side effects of Botox?

    Botox is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience minor side effects. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or mild headaches. In rare cases, patients may notice slight drooping of the eyelid or asymmetry, but this is usually temporary.

    Who should not get Botox?

    Botox is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with neuromuscular disorders, or those with allergies to botulinum toxin ingredients. Patients with active infections at the injection site should also avoid treatment until they are healed. We’ll determine if Botox is a good choice for you by reviewing your medical history and talking about your goals.
