Botox®

Looking for a way to relieve chronic discomfort caused by TMJ disorders and migraines? Botox® offers a non-surgical solution for managing these symptoms—all with a quick, effective treatment that fits into your schedule.

What is Botox®?

Botox® is a prescription medication administered by trained healthcare professionals. While widely known for its cosmetic benefits, it also offers therapeutic advantages by temporarily relaxing overactive muscles. This, in turn, helps reduce the pain and tension associated with TMD.

How Does Botox® Work for TMD?

Botox® contains a specialized protein that blocks nerve signals to the treated muscles. By relaxing these muscles, this treatment can do the following:

  • Alleviate jaw pain and tension.
  • Reduce the frequency of TMD-related headaches.
  • Minimize teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
  • Help dental implant patients by minimizing jaw stress.

Results typically appear within hours to a few days and last between 3 and 6 months, depending on the individual. Once the treatment wears off, the muscles regain their activity, and symptoms may return. This makes regular maintenance important for lasting relief.

Who is a Good Candidate for Botox®?

A consultation with our experienced team will determine if Botox® is the best option for your goals. This treatment may be right for you if you:

  • Experience chronic jaw pain or tension.
  • Suffer from frequent headaches linked to TMD.
  • Want a non-invasive, temporary solution.
  • Are in good physical and mental health.

Understanding that results are temporary and require ongoing maintenance is important for achieving the best outcomes.

“Pain-Free and Impressed!”

“After many problems and consistent pain due to prior dental work on a cap, I decided to visit Dr. Sciortino. She was able to fit me in right away. I was so impressed by the office and staff. Dr. Sciortino is extremely knowledgeable and personable. She was able to resolve the issue that I had spent many visits at other dentists trying to resolve, and my pain is now completely gone. I highly recommend her!”
