When you visit Smile! Dental Center, you’ll meet a highly skilled dentist dedicated to restoring more than your smile. Dr. Gregory Novotny has advanced training and credentials that have helped him master the art and science of dental implants and cosmetic dentistry. He understands that beautiful aesthetics are about more than perfect pearly whites. Although treatments such as ClearCorrect, porcelain veneers, and tooth whitening can remedy some issues, these procedures only provide part of a dream smile transformation.
In addition, many patients who receive full-mouth dental implants desire to improve their overall facial beauty. As such, we offer BOTOX® in Gibsonia, PA, for cosmetic applications and as an adjunct therapy for patients with chronic facial pain related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. After receiving tooth replacements, we also offer dermal fillers such as Juvéderm® as a stand-alone cosmetic treatment or facial esthetics enhancement.
Seeking these treatments from a highly skilled dentist like Dr. Novotny provides significant benefits due to his in-depth knowledge of oral and maxillofacial anatomy, from the forehead to the chin.
Dentists perform more injections in the oral and maxillofacial areas than any other medical practitioner. As a result, they’re better equipped to deliver safe, relatively pain-free, quick, and comfortable injections for their patients.
BOTOX is a neurotoxin formulated from botulinum toxin that improves the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults. Since its use was expanded to esthetic procedures in 2002, Botox has been the subject of numerous research studies that have proven its efficacy when administered carefully and properly. Although Botox injections can be completed in a few minutes, it can take 24 to 48 hours to start seeing a diminished appearance of wrinkles, and three to 10 days for more noticeable smoothing. While everyone has a unique experience, cosmetic improvements generally last between three and four months.
Located on each side of the head in front of your ears, the small triangular-shaped temporomandibular joints (TMJs) work together when you chew, speak and swallow. Botulinum toxin type A has been shown to improve symptoms in up to 90% of participants with TMJ symptoms who didn’t respond to conservative treatments. Botox injections help relax the muscles around the mouth and jaw, thereby reducing the clenching reflex, jaw pain and headaches associated with TMJ disorder, as well as primary bruxism (tooth grinding/clenching). Because BOTOX has not yet received FDA approval to treat TMJ disorder, we use it judiciously to help patients with severe symptoms that don’t respond to other treatments, including those who can’t tolerate wearing a customized mouth guard. Although BOTOX can alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorder, it is not a cure.
Facial contouring with injectable dermal fillers in Gibsonia, PA can correct volume and improve facial asymmetries, revitalize sagging skin, minimize creases in your cheeks, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles around your eyes and on your forehead. Juvéderm is a popular injectable dermal filler with hyaluronic acid for facial and lip applications.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in the body, with high concentrations in soft connective tissues and fluid surrounding the eyes. Juvéderm acts as a volumizer (or “plumper”) that fills out lips and static folds in the face caused by diminished hyaluronic acid, collagen, and fat production in the normal aging process.
Multiple studies have concluded that hyaluronic acid is a safe and effective dermal filler for adults with minimal side effects when administered by a trained and skilled clinician like Dr. Novotny. This minimally invasive treatment can also improve the structure and beauty of your smile after receiving full-mouth dental implants. Long-term Juvéderm results typically last anywhere from six to 12 months before further treatment is required.
