Your teeth are an extremely impactful part of your face, but not the only one. At Symmetry Dental, our cosmetic dentistry focuses on maintaining and improving the appearance of your teeth and gums to ensure they contribute to a confident, easy, and natural smile. Our goal is to have your teeth look their best so that you feel your best, including feeling confident enough to smile broadly for the whole world.
If your goal to unleash your brightest and most confident smile extends beyond the health and appearance of your gums and teeth, your dentist in Cranbrook can provide even more cosmetic options. We support our patients’ goals to present the best version of themselves by offering Botox injections to reduce and eliminate wrinkles.
Our goal is to give you teeth and gums to smile about! If you smile so broadly that your face displays character lines, wrinkles, or crows feet around your mouth, eyes, and eyebrows, we can help you eliminate them using Botox and fillers.
What can Botox do for you?
Botox is a drug produced from a neurotoxin derived from a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. Botox has a very unique effect when it is injected into a muscle. What happens? When Botox is injected into a muscle, the nerve signal directing that muscle to contract is interrupted. That means the muscle stays in an entirely relaxed position.
If Botox is injected into muscles around your lips, eyes, and eyebrows, those muscles won’t contract and display wrinkles on your face when you smile. And, if we’ve done our job right with the rest of our cosmetic dentistry services, you’ll have plenty to smile about.
We can apply Botox in Cranbrook on a preventative basis if your goal is to keep worry lines and the like at bay. Preventative Botox applications involve lower doses sufficient to eliminate the earliest sign of wrinkles that might otherwise deepen over time. If you have existing wrinkles and want to be rid of them — perhaps to best frame your newly bright and straight smile — a dentist near you can provide strategically located Botox injections on a maintenance basis. You can expect the best and most consistent results by receiving injections every three to four months.
What can dermal fillers do?
Fillers are also a method of reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles on your face. Fillers are also applied by injection, but work very differently than Botox. Fillers are a gel-like substance that your dentist in Cranbrook can place underneath your skin in priority areas to smoothen and fill out the surface. The effect of placing those fillers under the skin is to soften the creases and wrinkles where you don’t want them.
Fillers are a versatile product that can be used for more than the elimination of wrinkles and lines in your skin. Are you disappointed by lips that seem thin, troubled by recessed scars, or plagued with facial contours that cast gloomy shadows? Your dentist in Cranbrook and their staff can strategically place fillers under your skin to plump your lips, lift recessed scars, and eliminate shadow-projecting contours.
Depending on the depth and location of wrinkles that are detracting from your preferred appearance, we may recommend deep Botox treatment to address wrinkles caused by the loss of collagen and volume in your skin. Deep Botox treatments combined with the injection of dermal fillers are an ideal combination of strategies for those deepest wrinkles.
Are you interested in learning how fillers and Botox in Cranbrook can contribute — along with maintaining a healthy complexion and excellent skin hydration — to your ideal and preferred appearance? Our cosmetic dentistry goal is straightforward. To brighten your smile by giving you the teeth you’ve dreamed of. If you feel like Botox treatments and fillers may help you achieve your goals and have you smiling even more broadly, contact us right away about Botox near you.
