Benefits of Botox in Dentistry
Botox treatment, commonly known for its cosmetic applications, also offers significant therapeutic benefits in dental care. At Derek H. Tang, DDS in Sunnyvale, while we do not offer Botox in-office, we can diagnose whether a patient may benefit from it as part of their dental care. Botox can be helpful for managing TMJ disorders, alleviating jaw tension and clenching discomfort, and aiding in muscle retraining during orthodontic therapy, helping patients adapt to new dental alignments.
Botox may also be considered for treating high lip lines as an alternative to more invasive surgical options, providing quicker recovery with less discomfort. While we don't administer Botox treatments, we can refer patients to trusted providers to complement their dental care and improve both the functional and aesthetic aspects of their smile. This approach enhances patient outcomes by addressing oral health concerns while boosting confidence.
