Medical BOTOX® Norcross, GA
BOTOX® is widely recognized for its cosmetic benefits, but it also offers powerful medical applications that can improve your quality of life. At our dental office, we provide therapeutic BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) treatments to address various conditions affecting your oral and overall health.
This innovative treatment can help alleviate chronic discomfort associated with:
- TMJ disorders
- Chronic migraines
- Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching)
When injected, BOTOX temporarily relaxes overactive muscles by blocking nerve signals, reducing pain and tension in targeted areas. This makes it a practical, noninvasive solution for patients experiencing muscle-related disorders. For those with TMJ pain, BOTOX can ease jaw tension and help you avoid long-term damage caused by bruxism, such as worn enamel or cracked teeth. Patients with chronic migraines also report significant relief from debilitating headaches following treatment.
Each BOTOX session is tailored to your needs, with injection sites determined by the location and severity of your symptoms. Common areas include the jaw, temples, neck and around the ears, offering precise relief where you need it most. Treatment involves no surgery or incisions, meaning you can enjoy the benefits of BOTOX without any downtime.
The procedure itself is straightforward and fast. Using a fine needle, our dentists and team will carefully administer the medication, minimizing discomfort. Because the injections are precise and minimally invasive, there are typically no noticeable marks or side effects. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
BOTOX results are temporary, usually lasting between three and four months, and many patients choose to schedule follow-up appointments to maintain their relief. Whether you need help managing TMJ pain, reducing migraine frequency or preventing the damaging effects of bruxism, BOTOX can be an effective part of your treatment plan.
