BOTOX® in Scottsdale, AZ
You trust your dental professional with the most important part of your expressive personality—your face. Your smile is the gateway to communication and likely the first thing other people notice about you.

BOTOX® also offer facial pain relief for patients who suffer from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, jaw tension, and migraine headaches.

BOTOX: An Overview
BOTOX such as hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite is used for various purposes. BOTOX relaxes muscle fibers by blocking impulses along facial nerves. Facial muscles relax, which stops them from moving your jaw forcefully. BOTOX continues to work even when you’re asleep.
Relieve TMJ Pain
TMJ pain and many migraine headaches are caused by jaw clenching and teeth grinding, so pain relief often comes very quickly to patients who visit our office for BOTOX. Other medical applications for BOTOX include helping patients adjust to dentures or retraining facial muscles after a procedure.
Smooth Facial Wrinkles with BOTOX
The effect of relaxing muscle fibers in the face also provides patients with many cosmetic benefits. BOTOX is commonly used to smooth facial wrinkles between the eyes, on the forehead, and at the corners of the eyes. These are areas where many people hold tension in their faces, which causes wrinkles to develop.
How BOTOX Works
If you’ve never visited a dentist for BOTOX® injections, you likely have a few questions.
How Long Does It Take to Get BOTOX?
Your treatment is unique to you, but most BOTOX treatments take from 15 to 30 minutes. If you require more injections to get the results you want, it may take a little longer. When your dentist performs your initial exam, they will be able to tell you how long your procedure will take.
Does BOTOX Injections Hurt?
Pain is something we all experience differently, so there is no way to know how you will experience your injection; however, most patients feel little to no pain. If you’re more prone to pain, we can administer a numbing cream in the area before the injection is given.
One of the greatest advantages of choosing a dentist for BOTOX® injections is that we are facial experts. We know exactly where to place the injection to maximize its effectiveness and minimize your discomfort.
Why Trust a Dentist with BOTOX?
Botox injections are also provided by other health professionals like plastic surgeons and dermatologists, but there are several advantages to using your dentist.
Local Anesthesia for Your Comfort
First, we can provide you with anesthesia to the injection area before the procedure begins. Many patients often complain about the lack of anesthesia when receiving Botox treatments from other health professionals. Second, treatments provided by your dentist are more affordable and far more convenient.
Gentle, Skilled Facial Injections
While injections into facial muscles may seem a little scary, our dental professionals are experts at dealing with the human face. The professional dental team at Serenity Smiles has extensive experience using BOTOX. Keep in mind that, as dentists, we give patients injections all the time. We know where to place these shots better than any other medical professional.
There is an art to this process, and part of our expertise is making these injections as pain-free as possible. Giving a patient an injection inside the mouth is hardly different from giving one outside of the mouth because we target the same area.
We Care about Facial Aesthetics
Your dentist is a facial specialist. While the health of your smile is always paramount, much of what we do focuses on how you look because nothing makes a smile look better than confidence. BOTOX treatments are yet another way to boost confidence. For many others, they are the best and most effective way to alleviate facial pain.
