What Is Botox?
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily reduces muscle activity in targeted areas. When used for facial aesthetics, it can soften expression lines that form when facial muscles contract often. It may help patients with jaw tension, clenching, grinding, or TMJ symptoms.
Because the treatment briefly reduces activity in certain muscles, the focus will be on the areas you want to treat and the results you want.

Facial expressions are a natural part of life, but repeated muscle movement can make expression lines appear over time. Botox can help create a smoother, refreshed appearance while maintaining your natural facial expression.
At Jeppson Dental, we may recommend cosmetic Botox for patients who want to:
We tailor your treatment plan to your facial features and goals.
Botox for TMJ and Jaw Tension
Botox can also be used as part of a treatment approach for certain patients experiencing TMJ-related muscle tension.
The temporomandibular joints connect your lower jaw to your skull. Problems involving the jaw joint or surrounding muscles may contribute to symptoms such as jaw tension, facial discomfort, clenching, grinding, and headaches.
When appropriate, it can target specific jaw muscles to temporarily reduce excessive muscle activity. This may help decrease muscle tension and improve comfort for some patients.
Jeppson Dental also offers comprehensive TMJ treatment, allowing Dr. Jeppson to evaluate your symptoms and determine which treatment options may be appropriate for your situation.

Can Botox help with TMJ?
It may help certain patients with TMJ-related muscle tension by temporarily reducing activity in targeted jaw muscles. Dr. Jeppson can evaluate your symptoms and determine whether Botox is an appropriate part of your TMJ treatment plan.
Can it help with teeth grinding?
Botox may be considered for patients whose teeth grinding or clenching is associated with excessive jaw muscle activity. A consultation is necessary to determine whether Botox is appropriate for your individual situation.

No. Botox and dermal fillers work differently. Botox temporarily reduces targeted muscle activity, while dermal fillers add volume to specific areas. Jeppson Dental offers both Botox and dermal fillers as part of its facial aesthetics services.
Why should I get Botox from a dentist?
Dentists receive extensive education in facial anatomy, including the muscles, tissues, and structures surrounding the mouth and jaw. Dr. Jeppson also has advanced training that includes BOTOX® and dermal fillers.
