Botox

Botox (Cosmetic Botulinum Toxin) gently softens fine lines and wrinkles developed over our life time.  At One Dental we use Dysport both cosmetically and as a therapeutic agent for TMJ pain, Migraines and Tension Headaches.

Cosmetically Dysport (Botox) can be used to reduce frown lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, bunny lines and smoothing the forehead lines.

We are also able to lower high smile lines reducing the gummy smile.

Botox for Migraines and Tension Headaches

 

Safe. Effective. Clinically Proven Relief.

If you suffer from chronic migraines or tension headaches, you know how debilitating they can be. Botox isn’t just for cosmetic use—it’s also a medically approved treatment that can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines and chronic headaches.

What is Botox for Migraines?

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a therapeutic muscle relaxant that has been FDA and Medsafe approved for the treatment of chronic migraines. It works by blocking pain signals and relaxing muscles that contribute to tension and headache symptoms.

Who is it for?

Botox may be right for you if:

  • You experience 15 or more headache days per month, with at least 8 being migraines.
  • You’ve tried other migraine medications without lasting relief.
  • Your quality of life is affected by frequent headaches or neck and shoulder tension.

How Does It Work?

During a quick in-clinic procedure, small amounts of Botox are injected into specific areas around the head, temples, forehead, and neck. These injections:

  • Reduce muscle tension
  • Block neurotransmitters that carry pain signals
  • Help prevent headaches before they start

Many patients report a significant drop in both the number and severity of migraines after treatment.

What to Expect

  • Treatment time: 10–30 minutes following a free consultation to see if this treatment is suitable for you
  • Discomfort: Minimal—very fine needles are used
  • Downtime: None—return to normal activities the same day
  • Results: Usually noticeable within 1–2 weeks, with full effect by 4 weeks
  • Duration: Relief typically lasts 3–4 months

Is It Safe?

Botox has been used therapeutically for decades and is considered very safe when administered by trained professionals.  Advanced training in the treatment of Migraines and Tension headaches has been undertaken, this is in addition to the extensive knowledge of facial structures with a dental background and hospital work in the maxillofacial area.

Cost

Cost ranges from $50 to $1750 depending on the number of sites target.  Due to the cost I am careful to work with you to target the specific sites causing issues.  We will work together at the free consultation to establish firstly if this is suitable, and secondly sites that work for you both for price and effectiveness.

Botox for TMJ jaw pain

 

Stress can cause us to clench and grind our teeth – leading to TMJ or jaw pain. If you are finding yourself struggling with TMJ pain Botox (Dysport) can help. Botulinum toxin is injected in small doses into the masseter and temporalis muscles (the jaw muscles), this weakens the muscle enough to stop involuntary grinding and clenching – helping reduce pain.
