Botox and Fillers

Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®

At West Ridgewood Dental Professionals, PA we offer Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Botox®. These

injectable neuromodulators are commonly used to combat wrinkles in the face and alleviate

jaw muscle discomfort caused by TMJ Disorders. This non-surgical approach temporarily

softens frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet, deep eyebrow furrows and other facial

wrinkles. It can also minimize the appearance of a gummy smile and treat facial asymmetry.

FAQs

How is the procedure performed?

A thorough consultation will be performed by your treating provider in order to understand

your desired treatment goals. Once established, your doctor will expertly inject into the

desired areas to treat wrinkles, facial creases, or jaw muscle discomfort. The treatment takes

approximately 15 minutes and is done through a series of tiny injections. No anesthetic is

required. You may be asked to squint, frown, raise your eyebrows, smile, or clench your teeth

so that your muscle interactions can be assessed and targeted.
