Botox at the Dentist —
More Than Just Aesthetics

At Seoul Michigan UPenn Dental Clinic, we use Botox for two distinct purposes: medical treatment of jaw-related conditions, and aesthetic enhancement of the smile and facial profile.

Dentists are uniquely qualified to administer facial Botox — with deep clinical knowledge of facial anatomy, muscles, and occlusion that general aesthetics practitioners often lack. Dr. Lee is trained through the American Facial Aesthetics Society in both therapeutic and cosmetic Botox applications.

  • Treats TMJ pain, bruxism (teeth grinding) & jaw tension
  • Aesthetic softening of the masseter for a slimmer jaw profile
  • Correction of gummy smile
  • Perioral lines, lip flip & smile enhancement
  • All administered by a US-trained dental specialist
  • Full assessment in English before any treatment
Medical / Therapeutic

TMJ & Bruxism Treatment

Botox injected into the masseter and temporalis muscles reduces grinding force, relieves jaw pain, and protects teeth from wear — without surgery.

Aesthetic / Cosmetic

Facial Aesthetics & Smile Enhancement

Masseter reduction (V-line), gummy smile correction, lip flip, and perioral rejuvenation — delivered by a specialist who understands how facial muscles interact with your bite.

Results
3–5 Days to effect
4–6 Months duration

Medical Botox for TMJ & Bruxism

Many patients come to us specifically for Botox to treat jaw-related problems — not for cosmetic reasons. This is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for chronic TMJ pain and teeth grinding.

TMJ Disorder

Jaw Joint Pain & Tension

Chronic jaw pain, clicking, locking, and tension headaches associated with TMD (temporomandibular disorder) respond well to Botox injected into the masseter and temporalis muscles.

  • Reduces muscle hyperactivity driving jaw pain
  • Relieves tension headaches from jaw clenching
  • Non-surgical — no recovery time required
  • Effects begin within 3–7 days
Bruxism

Teeth Grinding Treatment

If you grind your teeth at night (bruxism), Botox into the masseter significantly reduces grinding force — protecting your teeth, crowns, and implants from further wear, even while you sleep.

  • Reduces grinding force by up to 70–80%
  • Protects enamel, restorations & implants
  • Often combined with a night guard
  • Lasts 4–6 months per treatment
Masseter Hypertrophy

Enlarged Jaw Muscle — Medical & Aesthetic

Masseter hypertrophy (κ³Όλ„ν•˜κ²Œ λ°œλ‹¬ν•œ κΉ¨λ¬Όκ·Ό) can occur from grinding or genetics — causing a square jawline, facial asymmetry, and jaw fatigue. Botox into the masseter gradually reduces the muscle bulk over 4–6 weeks, addressing both the functional problem and the cosmetic concern simultaneously. This is one of our most popular combined therapeutic-aesthetic treatments.

  • Gradual V-line jaw slimming over 4–6 weeks
  • Relieves jaw fatigue and clenching discomfort
  • Corrects facial asymmetry from uneven grinding
  • Results last 4–6 months; muscle reduces progressively with repeat treatments

Cosmetic Facial Botox & Smile Enhancement

Patients who want facial rejuvenation or smile enhancement alongside their dental treatment can receive aesthetic Botox in the same appointment — administered by a specialist with deep knowledge of facial anatomy.

Which Type of Botox Is Right for You?

Concern Therapeutic Aesthetic
Jaw pain or TMJ disorder βœ“ Recommended
Teeth grinding (bruxism) βœ“ Recommended
Jaw tension & headaches βœ“ Recommended
Square jaw / jaw slimming βœ“ + Aesthetic βœ“ V-line
Gummy smile βœ“ Recommended
Lip flip / fuller lips βœ“ Recommended
Forehead / eye lines βœ“ Recommended
Perioral lines βœ“ Recommended

Many patients benefit from both — for example, masseter Botox simultaneously treats bruxism and slims the jaw. We assess each case individually and never administer Botox without a full consultation first.

Dental Botox FAQ

What our Songdo patients ask most about Botox treatment at a dental clinic.

Is Botox at a dentist safe?
Yes — dentists are highly trained in facial anatomy and muscle function, making them among the most qualified practitioners for facial Botox. Dr. Lee has completed specialist training through the American Facial Aesthetics Society, covering both therapeutic and cosmetic Botox techniques. We use only medical-grade, licensed Botox products.
How is dental Botox different from a beauty clinic?
Dentists understand how jaw muscles, bite mechanics, and facial anatomy interact in a way that general beauty clinic practitioners often don't. For TMJ and bruxism especially, dental expertise is essential — because the treatment must account for how Botox will affect your bite, grinding patterns, and overall jaw function. For aesthetic cases, this deep anatomical knowledge also leads to more precise, natural-looking results.
Does it hurt?
Botox injections are made with very fine needles and most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinch lasting 1–2 seconds. Topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if desired. Most sessions are completed in 20–30 minutes with no recovery time.
How long do the results last?
Therapeutic Botox for TMJ and bruxism typically lasts 4–6 months. Aesthetic Botox for forehead lines and crow's feet lasts approximately 3–5 months. Masseter reduction becomes more pronounced and longer-lasting with repeat treatments as the muscle gradually reduces in size.
Can I combine Botox with dental treatment?
Yes — Botox can be administered in the same appointment as most dental procedures, making it very convenient for busy patients. Common combinations include Botox with a dental cleaning, crown fitting, or Invisalign check-up. Simply let us know at booking that you'd like to discuss Botox.
How soon will I see results?
Botox effects begin within 3–5 days and reach full effect at around 2 weeks. For masseter reduction, the visible slimming of the jaw typically becomes noticeable at 4–6 weeks as the muscle gradually reduces in bulk.
