Ladysmith Botox
Neuromodulators, commonly known as botox, can address dental concerns such as teeth grinding, TMJ disorder, and jaw clenching, in addition to cosmetic enhancements. Ladysmith Smiles offers patients both therapeutic and aesthetic botox injections under the care of Dr. Nadia Stymiest.
- Neuromodulators help alleviate symptoms of teeth grinding by relaxing the jaw muscles, reducing tooth wear and jaw discomfort.
Botox FAQs
How do neuromodulators work in dentistry?
Neuromodulators work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles. This reduces muscle contractions, which can relieve pain and discomfort associated with bruxism, TMJ disorders, and jaw clenching.
How long do the effects of neuromodulator treatments last?
Botox results generally last about three to four months, though this can vary based on individual factors. People who are more active or have a higher metabolism might notice their results fading slightly sooner than those with a more sedentary lifestyle.
What's the difference between therapeutic and cosmetic botox?
When it comes to cosmetic and therapeutic botox, almost everything besides the desired result is the same. Cosmetic botox aims to achieve a certain appearance (diminished wrinkles), while therapeutic botox aims to achieve a certain functionality, such as reduced muscle activity. Both cosmetic and therapeutic botox treatments are approved by Health Canada and the FDA.
What can be treated with neuromodulators?
Botox is effective in treating the following:
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
- TMJ Disorder
- Jaw Clenching
- Facial Wrinkles
- Migraine Relief
- Muscle Spasms
Are there any side effects?
While neuromodulators are generally safe, some potential side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort at the injection site. In rare cases, patients might experience temporary weakness in nearby muscles. At Ladysmith Smiles, we take every precaution to minimize side effects and ensure a positive experience. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to discuss them with us.
How much does botox cost in Ladysmith?
The cost of Botox® Cosmetic and similar brands like Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Nuceiva® ranges in the Vancouver and Vancouver Island areas. Prices may vary, so for the most current and accurate information, please contact our team.
