Botox

Dr. Silva has been using BOTOX® clinically for years to help her dental patients with TMJ, facial pain, and in cases where retraining of the facial muscles has been necessary.

She is now pleased to offer BOTOX® as a natural complement to cosmetic dentistry procedures.

What Is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is an FDA-approved treatment that can make facial lines or wrinkles essentially disappear, providing a more youthful appearance. The areas most commonly treated are frown lines between the eyes, crow’s feet next to the eyes, and forehead wrinkles.

What Does Getting A BOTOX® Treatment Involve?

Treatment involves injecting small amounts of BOTOX® into the tiny muscles responsible for the movements that create the lines and wrinkles. This relaxes the muscles, reducing the lines and wrinkles, and produces smoother skin in the treated areas. Patients may feel a slight burning sensation while the solution is being injected. The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes total.

How Long Does BOTOX® Last?

The results of a BOTOX® treatment lasts 3-5 months. With repeated treatments, the results may last longer.

Why see Dr. Silva for BOTOX®?

Other healthcare providers offering BOTOX® treatments may have the technical ability to administer BOTOX®, but Med Spas and RNs just don’t have the same advanced training in facial anatomy, skeletal structure, physiology, and the vascular and nervous systems of the face as Dr. Silva received at dental school.

Dr. Silva also routinely injects anesthetic during dental procedures, so she knows how to make BOTOX® injections comfortable, quick, and relatively painless for her patients.
