Botox for Great Results
You’ve probably heard about Botox before, but you might not think of it as a dental procedure. While it’s true that Botox is offered at many medical spas and doctor’s offices, Botox can also be given by cosmetic dentists as a safe and effective way to address issues ranging from wrinkles to TMD.
In fact, Botox in a dental setting has many uses and benefits. Just like with cosmetic medical procedures, it can be used to improve the appearance of your mouth and smile, but it can do much more than that.
Dr. Marcus Torrey offers Botox options that may be helpful to you. If you’re curious how Botox can be used to improve your smile or improve your dental health, reach out to the friendly staff at Torrey Dental to set up a consultation!

What Is Botox?
Botox used in dentistry is the same as Botox used in other medical settings. It’s a type of drug that will relax the muscles, so it’s often used to help with wrinkles. Botox comes from a bacteria, called Clostridium botulinum. While this might sound weird, Botox has been used widely for years and is quite safe and effective.
Botox is administered using small injections. However, Botox isn’t permanent, so it requires regular treatments to maintain results, especially cosmetic ones. Request more info about Botox by calling today!
What Botox Can Treat
Botox has many uses and can help patients in various ways. Let’s break down these uses into two categories: cosmetic and restorative.
The most common cosmetic purposes for Botox include:
- Reducing high lip lines: Often known as having a “gummy” smile, Botox relaxes the muscles to fix this issue without the use of surgery.
- Lessening lip and face wrinkles: You can also ask your cosmetic dentist to use Botox to reduce wrinkles around your mouth.
There are also other restorative and preventive uses for Botox in dentistry, such as:
- Helping with TMJ pain: For those with frequent jaw pain, Botox can provide relief.
- Reducing teeth grinding: When you grind your teeth, it can lead to major dental problems. Botox can help with this issue by relaxing tense muscles in the jaw.
These are just some of the ways Botox is used in dentistry. If you have questions about this process, reach out to our team at Torrey Dental today to learn more.
