Cosmetic Botox in Clearwater & Safety Harbor, FL
At Prime Dental Care, Botox is offered as a precise, clinically guided treatment rather than a purely cosmetic add-on. Dr. Nan Zhong, DDS, brings training in facial aesthetics together with a detailed understanding of facial and oral anatomy, helping patients soften the appearance of fine lines, support smile symmetry, and maintain a natural, balanced look.
We see patients from Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Palm Harbor, Largo, Dunedin, and Belleair who are looking for Botox treatment in a dental practice setting.

What Botox Can Treat
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. At Prime Dental Care, we use it to address:
- 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 related to bruxism or TMJ disorders
Botox is sometimes incorporated into smile makeovers or combined with lip enhancement for a more complete result.
Botox for Gummy Smile Correction
Dr. Zhong also uses Botox to address a gummy smile, where the upper lip reveals more gum tissue than desired when smiling. By relaxing the muscle responsible for that movement, we can reduce excess gum display and create a more proportionate smile, without surgery. This is sometimes paired with veneers or Invisalign as part of a broader smile design plan.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation: We review your facial expressions, skin condition, and goals to determine the appropriate dosage and injection sites.
- Treatment: Botox is injected with a fine needle. The appointment typically takes 10 to 20 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
- Recovery: There is no downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur but generally resolves quickly.
- Results: Effects begin within three to five days and reach full effect in about ten to fourteen days. Results typically last three to four months.
Botox for Preventive & Dental Use
Beyond its cosmetic applications, Botox has a role in supporting oral and facial function. We use it to help patients:
- Manage clenching and grinding (bruxism)
- Relieve muscle tension associated with TMJ dysfunction
- Soften perioral muscles that influence the shape of the lips and smile
- Address early signs of wrinkle formation with light, preventive treatment
As a facially trained dentist, Dr. Zhong considers both function and appearance when developing a treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to get Botox from a dentist?
Yes. Dentists who pursue additional training in facial aesthetics, like Dr. Zhong, have an in-depth understanding of facial muscles, nerves, and anatomy from their dental education, which translates directly to safe and precise Botox administration.
How much does Botox cost at Prime Dental Care?
New patients receive an introductory rate of $10 per unit. Your total cost will depend on the treatment area and the number of units needed, which we'll review during your consultation.
Will Botox make my face look frozen or unnatural?
Not when it's dosed conservatively. Dr. Zhong uses a measured, individualized approach designed to soften lines and relax targeted muscles while preserving natural facial movement and expression.
How long does Botox last?
Results typically last three to four months. Many patients schedule follow-up treatments on a recurring basis to maintain their results over time.
Does the treatment hurt?
Botox is injected with a very fine needle, and most patients describe the sensation as mild and brief. The appointment itself usually takes 10 to 20 minutes, with no downtime afterward.
Can Botox help with teeth grinding or TMJ pain?
Yes. Botox can relax the jaw muscles involved in clenching and grinding, which may ease discomfort associated with bruxism or TMJ dysfunction. This is one of the ways Botox is used for both function and appearance.
Can Botox be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Botox is often paired with dermal fillers, Juvederm, or cosmetic dental work like veneers as part of a broader smile and facial aesthetics plan.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for Botox?
Most healthy adults are candidates for Botox. The best way to know for sure is a consultation with Dr. Zhong, who will review your facial anatomy, goals, and medical history before recommending a treatment plan.
