Botox in Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Botox is a safe, minimally invasive treatment used to address both cosmetic concerns and dental-related conditions. At Town Crest Dental Clinic, Dr. Navjot Sodhi is trained to administer Botox for facial and neck rejuvenation as well as for the relief of jaw pain and tension caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Botox for TMJ and Jaw Tension
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and is responsible for the everyday movements of chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint becomes stressed or strained, it can cause significant discomfort.
TMJ disorders are often linked to:
- Teeth grinding (bruxism), which places excessive pressure on the jaw muscles
- Jaw clenching, often related to stress or sleep habits
- Misalignment of the teeth or jaw
- Injury or trauma to the jaw area
Patients with TMJ disorders may experience jaw soreness, facial pain, headaches, earaches, or a clicking and popping sensation in the jaw. If left untreated, these symptoms can worsen over time.
Botox injections relax the overactive muscles contributing to jaw tension and pain. Dr. Sodhi will identify the specific muscles causing your discomfort and administer a series of small, targeted injections. Most patients notice relief within a few days, with results lasting three to six months.
Cosmetic Botox
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Treatment is quick, requires no downtime and can be completed in a single appointment.
Results typically appear within a few days and last three to six months. Treatment can be repeated as needed to maintain your results.
As a dental professional, Dr. Sodhi has an in-depth understanding of the facial muscles, nerves and anatomy involved in Botox treatment. This expertise allows for precise, natural-looking results in a comfortable clinical setting you already trust.
What to Expect at your Appointment
During your consultation, Dr. Sodhi will review your concerns, symptoms and medical history to determine whether Botox is the right option for you. Injections can often be administered the same day.
No significant downtime is required following treatment. Some patients experience mild soreness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a day or two. Dr. Sodhi will provide aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your results.
