Botox® Treatment in Calgary

Botox® is often used for cosmetic reasons. When it is injected into certain facial points, it blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, resulting in limited movement of the muscles. This limited movement reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and creates the overall appearance of smoother and more youthful skin. Since dentists know what makes a great smile better than anyone else, and since they are highly trained in facial anatomy and facial structure, they are particularly qualified to administer Botox®.

Examples of cosmetic Botox® treatments include:

• Wrinkle Reduction: Botox® is very often injected around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyes (glabella), and around the mouth (frown lines).
• Gummy Smile Reduction: While the traditional treatment for a high lip line would be surgery, with Botox® however, dentists can help raise your gingival height to meet the lip line. With a combination of lip fillers and Botox®, the various muscles that surround the lip are weakened so that they cannot raise the lip as high as before.
• Smile Symmetry Correction: With the use of Botox®, in conjunction with a bridge or crown for example, a more symmetrical dental aesthetic can be established for your smile.
• Jawline Reduction
