Cosmetic Dentistry in Orange Park, FL
Getting Botox from a dentist is actually a natural extension of cosmetic dentistry. The first sign of fine lines and wrinkles usually develop around the mouth and eyes (crow's feet) for most people. But dentists have been playing a role in helping men and women look younger with professional teeth whitening, which studies have shown can take a few years off of your face and generally improve your overall appearance.
Who Should Get Botox?
Have you ever wondered why they are called laugh lines? As the muscles in the face repeatedly move and contract to produce common everyday expressions like smiling, frowning, squinting, and laughing, they eventually create the frown and worry lines that we all experience. Dr. Vanover offers Botox for the most common trouble areas including:
- Forehead
- Between the eyes/brow (known as "bunny lines")
- Crow's feet
- Smile and frown lines
Botox is available for healthy adults who are looking to smooth out creases and fine lines before they become too deep. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just a treatment for women, men also benefit from the treatment. The effects of a Botox injection typically last three to six months. Many people find that lines appear less severe with successive Botox injections.
