Many people choose cosmetic dentistry to enhance their smile, whether it is white fillings, cosmetic dentures or porcelain veneers. Many cosmetic dentists are offering Botox and Restylane treatments in addition to cosmetic dentistry to enhance facial aesthetics as well as the smile.
Botox and Cosmetic Dentistry
Botox is used to soften facial lines or wrinkles caused by excessive frowning or smiling. It acts by relaxing the muscles of facial expression.
Botox – Is It Safe?
If administered in the right doses by qualified professionals, Botox is perfectly safe as your medical history and allergies would be checked before administration.
Botox – How Long Does It Last?
On average Botox last 3-4 months, but after continued application it may last longer.
Do Lines Get Worse If You Stop Botox?
No, they just return to how they originally were!
How Much Does Botox Cost?
It varies from dentist to dentist or doctor to doctor, but usually starts around £250.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Restylane
Restylane is facial filler that can correct facial lines, wrinkles and deep folds.
Restylane – Is It Safe?
Restylane, like Botox if used by a qualified professional is safe. It is made of hylauronic acid which breaks down to water after a few months.
How Long Does Restylane Last?
It usually last 6-12 months. It can be used on lips, forehead, cheeks and chin. Just like Botox, if you stop treatment your lines will return to how they were. They will not get worse!
Cost of Restylane Treatment
Restylane treatment costs start at similar prices to Botox.
What Is The Difference Between Botox And Restylane?
Botox is used to relax the muscles of facial expression e.g. the ‘frown’ or ‘crow’s feet’; whereas Restylane is good to soften deep lines like nasal labial folds or depressed lips.
