What Botox Can Treat

Botox is an FDA-approved injectable that works by temporarily relaxing overactive muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. At Prime Dental Care, we use Botox to treat:

• Forehead lines
  
• Frown lines (“11s”) between the eyebrows
  
• Crow’s feet
  
• Bunny lines on the nose
  
• Lip lines (perioral wrinkles)
  
• Gummy smile (excess gum display when smiling)
  
• Downturned corners of the mouth
  
• Jaw tension caused by bruxism or TMJ disorders 

We also use Botox as part of smile makeovers or in combination with lip enhancement for a more balanced, confident appearance.

Botox for Gummy Smile Correction

Dr. Zhong often uses Botox to soften a gummy smile, where too much gum shows above the upper teeth. By relaxing the muscle that pulls the upper lip, we reduce excessive movement and create a more proportional smile—no surgery required. This treatment is often part of our integrated smile design approach, along with veneers or Invisalign.

What to Expect During Treatment

1. Personalized Consultation
   We evaluate your facial expressions, skin condition, and treatment goals to determine your ideal dosage and injection areas.
   
2. Quick, Comfortable Injections
   Botox is injected with an ultra-fine needle and typically takes just 10–20 minutes. Most patients report little to no discomfort.
   
3. No Downtime
   You can return to work or your daily routine immediately. Minor redness or swelling may occur but resolves quickly.
   
4. Gradual Results
   Effects begin within 3–5 days and reach full strength in about 10–14 days. Results typically last 3–4 months and are maintained with regular visits.
   

Botox for Preventive & Dental Use

Botox isn’t just cosmetic—it also plays a role in dentistry and overall wellness. We use it to:

• Manage clenching and grinding (bruxism)
  
• Relieve muscle tension from TMJ dysfunction
  
• Soften perioral muscles that affect the shape of your lips and smile
  
• Prevent deep wrinkle formation with light, early treatment
  

As a facially trained dentist, Dr. Zhong ensures Botox supports both esthetic and functional outcomes—enhancing comfort as well as appearance.
