TMJ Treatment

At Park Place Dental, we are excited to have Dr. Moore on our team as a certified BOTOX provider in Barrie, ON.

BOTOX not only enhances your appearance with the elimination of fine lines and wrinkles, but it can also help alleviate teeth clenching and grinding, along with headaches and other painful jaw joint issues.

Dentists are the ideal providers of BOTOX because of their previous training. Dentists study facial anatomy quite extensively while they are training to become dentists. They are also skilled at delivering dental anesthetics in a comfortable manner to patients on a daily basis with injections. This gives them an advantage when it comes to delivering BOTOX comfortably to patients. 

Benefits of BOTOX in Barrie

Whether you are hoping to reduce or eliminate debilitating migraines or looking to enhance your appearance, BOTOX may be an excellent solution for you. The effects of BOTOX typically last for about four months, so we can easily incorporate those treatments in with other dental appointments such as your routine teeth cleanings to save you time.

The good news is that many patients are finding relief from migraines and frequent headaches with BOTOX injections. BOTOX helps with migraines because it relaxes your muscles to smooth wrinkles and fine lines; however, many patients have found that calming their muscles also reduces the frequency of their headaches.

Studies have shown that patients who receive BOTOX for migraine headaches notice that the number of headaches they have each month is significantly reduced and have more pain-free days.
