Botox Treatment

What is Botox?

You’ve probably heard of Botox being used to smooth out wrinkles and give people a more youthful appearance. But Botox does so much more than that! It’s made from Botulinum Toxin, a substance that has been widely used in medicine to treat issues such as migraines and muscle spasms.

Botox injections, commonly used in dentistry, In dentistry, Botox can help with conditions such as jaw pain, teeth grinding, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and dynamic wrinkles and even plays a role in enhancing your smile. So, whether you’re seeking relief from facial discomfort or simply want a more confident smile, Botox offers a versatile solution that goes beyond just reducing wrinkles.

How Does Botox Work?

woman-looking-at-mirror-happy

By injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin nerve signals are blocked, leading to temporary muscle relaxation. This relaxation can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly frown lines, and help alleviate issues related to the jaw muscles, such as bruxism (teeth grinding). 
This leads to two key benefits—

Therapeutic: Botox stops muscles from tightening up as much and works to relax them instead, therefore reducing pain and discomfort.

Aesthetics: Botox smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, therefore enhancing appearance by creating a refreshed look.

Think of it like pressing pause on your muscles, giving them a chance to relax. The effects last about three to six months, after which muscle activity gradually returns. The treatment can be repeated to maintain the results.

How Botox Supports Your Smile

As we age, collagen and elastin decreases and fine lines will start to appear on the forehead. Botox helps smooth out those horizontal lines.

Estimated units required: 30-90

The frown lines at the glabella (area in between the eye brows) often appears while frowning. Botox helps smooth out these vertical lines between the eyebrows.

Estimated units required: 50-90

The skin at the outer corner of our eyebrows droops as we age. Botox helps create a subtle lifting effect in the brow area.

Estimated units required: 6-12

Crow's feet often appear while laughing or squinting. Botox reduces these fine lines around the eyes.

Estimated units required: 36-45

When excessive gum is visible when smiling, it can affect your overall appearance. Botox helps minimise gum exposure for a more balanced smile.

Estimated units required: 10-20

Botox is commonly used to treat areas prone to dynamic wrinkles, like those around the mouth and jaw. Botox helps slim the jawline and relieve symptoms of bruxism.

Estimated units required: 50-90

The corners of our mouth may sag as we age. Botox lifts the corners of the lips for a more positive expression.

Estimated units required: 60

When the chin muscles contract, it can cause lines to appear. Botox helps smooth out dimpling and wrinkles on the chin.

Estimated units required: 30

Botox Works Hand-in-Hand with Dental Treatments

While Botox is effective on its own, pairing it with dental treatments can lead to even better, longer-lasting results!

For example, individuals who grind their teeth often experience jaw pain and headaches due to overactive muscles. Botox helps by reducing muscle activity, providing relief from these symptoms. When combined with a dental mouth guard, the treatment becomes even more comprehensive. The mouth guard protects teeth from damage, while Botox minimises muscle overactivity, addressing both the underlying cause and the effects of grinding.

FAQs About Botox

Is Botox safe?

Yes, Botox is considered safe when administered by skilled dental professionals. At Dental Designs, we use FDA-approved Botulinum Toxin for safe and reliable results.

Is Botox painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. Our dentists use very thin needles and the injection process is quick. While you might feel a slight pinch or sting, any discomfort typically fades rapidly.

How long does Botox last?

The effects usually last between 3-6 months, depending on the individual and the specific area treated. After this period, muscle activity gradually returns but our team can help you schedule follow-up treatments to maintain your desired results.

Will I get a frozen face after Botox?

Many people worry about an overly stiff or unnatural appearance after Botox but at Dental Designs, we prioritise a subtle, natural look. Our approach involves using less product during the initial treatment and allowing for adjustments or touch-ups to avoid a frozen face.

How to prepare for a Botox appointment?

It’s best to come in without any makeup on your face, as this allows the doctor to see your skin clearly and apply the treatment effectively. Also, please let the doctor know if you’ve had Botox before, including when your last treatment was.

What is the downtime after getting Botox?

The downtime is minimal and most patients can resume their regular activities immediately. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure and touching the treated area for the first 24-36 hours to ensure optimal results.

Cost of Botox in Singapore

The cost of Botox can vary significantly, depending on the treatment plan developed by the dentist for each individual patient.

A key factor influencing the price is the treatment area; different facial regions require different amounts of Botox due to unique muscle structures and activity levels. This variation influences how much Botox is needed, which is measured in units. For example, treating crow's feet around the eyes usually costs less than addressing deeper forehead lines. For multiple areas or larger regions, the cost will be adjusted accordingly.

During your consultation, your dentist will assess your specific needs and provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, enabling you to make an informed decision about your treatment and budget accordingly.

Beautiful and friendly dental clinic, was recommended by my colleague. Been coming here for dental cleaning and fillings. Always a good visit!
J. Kho

This dental clinic has very good staff who are well trained and friendly. The dentists are also very good and will explain the treatment in detail before starting treatment. The equipment is very high tech and I believe they are able to do high quality work as I did my crown here and it looks much better than my colleague who also recently did his at another place. The waiting room is also very comfortable. good job!

C. Zheng De

This clinic is one of the best I have ever seen. I saw dr Justin for my implant which I did many years ago, the tooth was loose, and other drs told me to remove it as they could not find out what brand it was but dr Justin was able to take 3d xrays and locate the brand and specially ordered the part in. he saved me from having to do a surgery to remove and put a new implant which would have cost me a bomb. the tooth looks even better than the original thanks to the experieced dental technician Katsuya from Japan. 

Very happy and will keep coming back for my regular dental. 

G. Hock An

my workplace is close by and I had a problem with my tooth for a few days, so I made an appointment to come down. The receptionist who booked my appointment was very helpful and friendly to explain the way to the clinic from my office. I saw Dr Nicholas who was able to do a root canal treatment on the same visit so that I didn't need to come back. I felt safe and comfortable to do my dental treatment here as the dental picks are all wrapped up and sterilized and only opened before each treatment when im inside.
