Where Dentistry and Facial Aesthetics Meet
A beautiful smile doesn't exist in isolation. The areas around your mouth, including your lips, cheeks, and jawline, all play a role in how your smile looks and how you feel about your overall appearance.
At Modern Smile Design, facial aesthetic treatments are performed by a dental professional with advanced training in facial anatomy. This background allows for precise, balanced results that enhance your natural features rather than changing them.
You May Benefit From Facial Aesthetics If You're Noticing
- Fine lines or wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, or forehead
- Loss of volume in the cheeks or midface
- Thin or uneven lips
- A "gummy" smile you'd like to minimize
- Tension or discomfort from clenching (Botox for TMJ)
- An overall look that doesn't match how you feel
These treatments can be standalone or paired with dental work for a more complete result.
Our Facial Aesthetic Treatments
Botox
Botox relaxes targeted muscles to smooth fine lines and wrinkles in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. It can also be used to address a gummy smile or reduce jaw tension caused by clenching.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth deeper lines by adding support beneath the skin. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline for a refreshed, natural appearance.
Lip Fillers
Lip fillers enhance the shape, symmetry, and fullness of the lips. Results are tailored to your preferences, whether you're looking for a subtle improvement or a more noticeable change.
Precision From a Trained Eye
Why a Dental Professional for Facial Aesthetics?
Dentists have extensive training in facial anatomy, including the muscles, nerves, and structures that surround the mouth and jaw. This makes them uniquely qualified to deliver facial aesthetic treatments with a high level of precision and safety.
At Modern Smile Design, every treatment starts with a conversation about your goals. The approach is always conservative, focused on enhancing what's already there rather than creating an overdone look.
Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Aesthetics
Is Botox safe when performed by a dentist?
Yes. Dentists receive extensive training in facial anatomy, and many pursue additional certification in aesthetic injectables. This background allows for precise placement and a strong understanding of how facial muscles work together. All treatments at Modern Smile Design are performed with patient safety as the top priority.
How long do results from Botox and fillers last?
Results vary depending on the treatment, the product used, and individual factors. During your consultation, you'll receive a clear expectation for how long your specific results are likely to last. Maintenance appointments are available to help keep results consistent over time.
Do injectable treatments hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. Topical numbing is available to improve comfort during the procedure. Treatments are quick, often completed in under 30 minutes. Any minor tenderness afterward typically resolves within a day or two.
Can I combine facial aesthetics with dental treatment?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to pair aesthetic treatments with cosmetic dental work like veneers or whitening for a more complete result. Coordinating treatments allows for a balanced, cohesive outcome. This is one of the advantages of receiving both services in the same office.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
The best way to find out is through a consultation. Your goals, areas of concern, and facial structure are all taken into account before any recommendation is made. There is no pressure to commit to treatment during your visit. The consultation is designed to give you clear information so you can make a confident decision.
