Need Botox Treatment Manchester? Speak To A Cosmetic Dentist

While it might seem obvious that you’d visit a dentist for issues such as a chipped tooth repair or to undergo  patients mightn’t immediately consider a dental practice as the first port of call to undergo botox treatment Manchester. The fact is, however, that more and more dentists are adding this to their portfolio of procedures, alongside more common cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening.

So what exactly is botox treatment and how can it help? Let’s take a closer look…

Botox is a drug made from clostridium botulinum and is a safe, proven treatment used to reduce facial wrinkles. It works by injecting the drug into the areas where wrinkles are at their worst. Once injected the botox sets to work by blocking the receptors, which in turn, prevent signals from reaching the muscles telling them to contract. Because they can’t contract, frown lines, smile lines, and crows feet (otherwise known as expression lines) are softened, and in many cases can disappear altogether, giving the patient a more youthful appearance. For this reason can be used either as a stand alone procedure, or as part of a series of treatments all designed to enhance your overall smile.

So how does this work?

Let’s say that a patient has undergone dental implants in Manchester to replace missing teeth and their smile has been transformed. Despite this a person may still have tell-tale wrinkle lines around the mouth and jowl area that might spoil the overall appearance of the initial treatment. Therefore it would make sense that they might want to enhance their smile further and banish underlying facial wrinkles with a course of botox treatment.

Conversely, as part of a Smile Makeover, a patient might undergo laser teeth whitening followed by chipped tooth repair to bring about a perfect smile using cosmetic techniques such as bonding or porcelain veneers. However to complete the overall look, a patient may feel that a course of botox treatment is necessary to really enhance the end product – a smile that any patient would be proud of.

So why go to a cosmetic dentist for botox treatment rather than a doctor?

Facial aesthetics is a growing part of a cosmetic dentist’s repertoire and not without good reason. A cosmetic dentist’s job is to enhance not only the teeth but all aspects of the smile. Therefore it makes perfect sense for a dentist to offer botox treatment. Manchester patients prefer visiting their dentist because of the convenience factor. It’s probably far easier for them to have all their treatment performed under one roof and for the dentist to be able to co-ordinate all aspects of that treatment. This is opposed to say being fitted with porcelain veneers, then having to go to a doctor’s surgery to receive botox if that’s what the patient needs.
