Though BOTOX® treatments are best-known for eliminating wrinkles and fine lines on the face, the muscle-relaxing properties of this compound make it useful in dental treatment as well. At AstoriaFamilyDentist.com, we use BOTOX® Therapeutic injections to relax the temporomandibular (jaw) joint to treat TMJ disorder, teeth grinding, and clenching. BOTOX® Therapeutic injections are useful in dental implant surgery – especially one-day implants – because BOTOX® injections can reduce the stress put on a new dental implant. Dr. Gene Caiafa regularly uses BOTOX® Therapeutic injections as the last stage of the immediate dental implant process to reduce stress on the new implant so it can become properly integrated with the jaw bone.
