Preventive dentistry if your foundation for a healthy smile. With regular cleanings and exams, small dental issues can be caught before they turn into large and costly problems. Preventive dental care along with a diligent at-home brushing and flossing routine can help prevent dental issues all together. It’s these small investments in your oral hygiene that lead to a beautiful, healthy smile.

Over 6 million people receive Botox treatment every year!
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your personal smile goals, and discuss how Botox, dermal fillers, or a combination of the two may be able to help you achieve your unique vision. Additionally, if you’re experiencing jaw pain, we’ll find out if Botox can help relieve your discomfort.
Once we’ve decided on what treatment is best for your unique situation, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that covers the initial set of injections, as well as any follow-up appointments. Botox treatment generally lasts between 3-6 months, while dermal fillers can last much longer depending on the type of filler that is used.
The procedure is similar for both Botox and dermal fillers. After cleaning and sanitizing the treatment site, a thin needle is used to inject the materials into the target areas. You and your doctor will decide if you require any numbing for the procedure.
Most Botox & dermal filler treatments can be done in under 15 minutes!
Botox & fillers haven’t always fallen in the same sentence as dentistry - but there’s no reason they shouldn’t! Botox minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while fillers create volume and elasticity.
These cosmetic alterations only require a few small injections that take as little as 15 minutes! Plumping the lips and cheeks and reducing the appearance of crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles can do wonders for your overall smile.
Not only do Botox & fillers have tremendous aesthetic effects, but Botox can also be used to treat TMJ and teeth grinding. If you suffer from tension headaches, jaw pain, and other radiating pain from clenching or grinding your teeth, a few injections into the forehead, temple, and jaw muscles.
Because Botox blocks nerve signals from reaching the muscle, it prevents muscle contractions which reduces facial expressions that cause wrinkles. When injected into the right areas, it can also prevent your jaw from contracting in a way that causes you to grind or clench your teeth.
Instead, these muscles are effectively frozen so you don’t grind your teeth and suffer from the pain-related consequences of Bruxism and TMJ.
Yes, Botox and dermal fillers are considered very safe when injected by a Board-Certified professional who has received ample training in the use of these treatments. Both Botox and Fillers are FDA-approved and are only administered in very small doses.
Side effects are rare and very minimal, such as numbness, tingling, or some slight bruising. To ensure you don’t experience unwanted side effects, follow your dentist’s instructions, do not lay down for at least 6 hours after the treatment, and don’t massage your face. Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in your body that promotes hydration and is great for the skin.
Today! We can use Botox to treat a gummy smile, relieve migraines, and reduce sweating. While you’re here, you can also receive teeth whitening or address other concerns with your smile. Contact us at Perkasie Dental Loft today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lindsey Cerdas.
