Dental Botox & Dental Filler
You’ve probably heard about dental Botox and dental fillers, as they’ve become some of the fastest-growing and most sought-after treatments in recent years – and for good reason. People turn to Botox for all kinds of reasons, such as aesthetics, migraines, wrinkles, teeth grinding, and to ease the pain associated with dental and jaw dysfunction like that of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
Dr. O’Leary is determined to help patients look and feel their very best, and dental Botox and filler treatments are among the many gentle ways we do exactly so.
What Are Dental Botox and Dental Fillers?
Dental Botox is a muscle relaxant that we use in small doses to treat things like jaw clenching, tension, and chronic headaches. It works by using botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the facial muscles that are overactive, like those in teeth grinding and TMJ disorder. It can also soften fine lines around your mouth or forehead.
Dental filler is used to restore volume and smooth out areas of the face that may have lost fullness with age. Fillers can enhance the lips, soften smile lines (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth), and reduce other facial creases. Fillers help bring back a youthful look and work great as a complement to cosmetic dental treatments like whitening or veneers.

Overview of the Procedure
Both dental Botox and dental filler procedures are minimally invasive and typically take under 30 minutes. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:
- Consultation – During your first visit, Dr. O’Leary will listen to your concerns and evaluate your medical history and aesthetic goals. He’ll explain the recommended areas of treatment and what you can expect from the results.
- Preparation – The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing agent is applied for comfort.
- Injection – Dr. O’Leary will administer the dental Botox or filler to the targeted areas with a very fine needle. The process is quick and well-tolerated by most patients.
- Aftercare – There’s very little downtime. You may have slight redness or swelling at the injection site, but this usually disappears within a day or two. Patients are typically able to go about their normal activities immediately.
- Results – Botox results usually begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effects in about two weeks. Fillers often show immediate improvement and settle fully within just a few days.
