Dentists utilize botulinum toxin (often referred to as BOTOX®) to calm overworked facial muscles. Dental BOTOX® targets jaw tension and deep wrinkles. These dental injectables offer incredibly safe neuromodulator therapy exactly where you need it most.

Enhancing your look goes beyond your teeth. We use BOTOX® Cosmetic injections to smooth fine lines, enhance lip balance, and correct gummy smiles. This creates better facial symmetry while maintaining your natural appearance, ensuring you look refreshed after your appointment.

We use FDA-approved cosmetic injectables to provide beautiful facial rejuvenation. As expert facial BOTOX® dentists, we offer gummy smile BOTOX® and subtle lip flips. With additional dermal fillers available, our minimally invasive care creates completely natural smile enhancements.

Beyond aesthetic improvements, our BOTOX® injection service treats several painful or disruptive conditions effectively:

  • TMJ and TMD disorders
  • Chronic bruxism and teeth grinding
  • Unconscious jaw clenching
  • Persistent facial or jaw pain
  • Gummy smiles that need adjustment

The cost of dental BOTOX depends on the type of treatment, the number of units needed, and whether the treatment is cosmetic or therapeutic. In some cases, therapeutic BOTOX for TMJ symptoms or teeth grinding may be partially covered by insurance, while cosmetic treatments are typically not covered. Click here to check your coverage before your visit. 

Because results are temporary, retreatment is usually needed every 3–4 months. Gentle Dental offers flexible financing options, including CareCredit and payment plans, to help make treatment more affordable. We’ll review your goals, coverage, and treatment plan to provide a clear cost estimate before treatment begins.

Hear From Our Patients

Robert

Gentle Dental Brighton

I can't say enough good things about how I was treated at Gentle Dental Brighton over the last few years but more specifically recently when I had an infected root. Dr. Meyer was exceptional not just in her skills as a dentist, but how compassionate she was to the amount of pain I was in. She helped me from start to finish and even checked on me after the root canal. Not just a great dentist but a great person.

Michel

Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain

Dr. Mancini and his staff got me in for an appointment within an hour of my call and took care of a loose, temporary cap. To my surprise they were able to “install” my permanent crown even though the appointment for that procedure was scheduled a week later. Perfect fit! Made my day. Thank you Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain!

Denise

Gentle Dental Nashua

Best dental care around! Immaculate office. Staff is exceptional and truly caring. Dr. Anthony is the Best! He understands my anxiety. I am telling everyone to request an appointment at Gentle Dental Nashua!

Tom

Gentle Dental Wakefield

Just had my last implant visit and can now smile again! The whole process went smoothly. Hats off to Dr. Amin, Dr. Colon and Sheela. All three, along with the rest of the staff, were very professional and pleasant to work with. I have been a patient at this office for 10+ years and would recommend Gentle Dental Wakefield to anyone for their next dentist appointment!

Carolyn

Gentle Dental Belmont

This is an excellent dental practice with flexible scheduling and friendly staff. Hygienists and dentists are very knowledgeable and skilled. Would also recommend their periodontist. Prices are quite reasonable as well. The Saturday hours are a huge plus at this dentist in Belmont.

Laura

Gentle Dental Cambridge

I would definitely recommend my experience at Gentle Dental Cambridge in Porter Square. A truly wonderful team of talented people! And they are paired with the most up-to-date technology. My experience was terrific! I needed a root canal and crowns in addition to a cavity filling. I was in safe hands! From start to finish, I was treated well and the procedures were completed in a timely manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does BOTOX® last​?

You can expect the effects to last 3-6 months. Muscle recovery varies by patient, but regular maintenance stretches out the benefits over time. Our BOTOX® injection clinic makes it easy to schedule follow-up visits to prevent pain or wrinkles from returning.

How much does dental BOTOX® cost?

The cost of dental BOTOX® depends on the type of treatment and the number of units needed. Therapeutic and cosmetic treatments vary in price. We’ll provide a personalized estimate and review financing options during your consultation.

Does jaw BOTOX® change your smile?

Jaw treatments strictly resolve clenching and pain without freezing your facial expressions. We isolate the large chewing muscles, so the muscles that define your smile remain fully functional and natural. You gain lasting comfort without sacrificing your normal appearance.

What dental BOTOX® treatments does Gentle Dental offer?

You can receive BOTOX® dental injections for both pain relief and cosmetic enhancement. We actively treat TMJ disorders, chronic clenching, and facial pain. Aesthetically, we smooth wrinkles, correct high lip lines, and resolve gummy smiles for a balanced look.

How long does a dental BOTOX® appointment take at Gentle Dental?

Appointments are incredibly fast, typically taking less than 20 minutes. Following a brief consultation, the actual injections take only a few minutes.

What other injectables does Gentle Dental offer alongside BOTOX®?

Dentists at Gentle Dental often pair dermal fillers with our main injectable treatments. Fillers use smooth gels to plump up depleted areas, define lips, and fill deep creases around the lower face. Combining the two approaches achieves top-tier facial rejuvenation.

Can fillers and BOTOX® be done in the same appointment at Gentle Dental?

You can absolutely receive both during the same visit. This dual approach provides an instant, comprehensive aesthetic upgrade. We relax your tension points and instantly restore lost volume in the lips or cheeks, making the absolute most of your scheduled time with us.

Does Gentle Dental accept insurance for dental BOTOX® treatment?

Yes, Gentle Dental accepts most major insurance plans. Click here to check your coverage, or call us, and we will explain it before your visit.

Why should I get BOTOX® from a dentist instead of a dermatologist?

Our dentists analyze the function of your jaw and facial muscles every day. Due to this intense focus, our dentists and registered dental hygienists provide BOTOX® injections seamlessly. This knowledge guarantees safe administration and superior symmetry for your smile.

Can BOTOX® help with teeth grinding (bruxism)?

It treats teeth grinding incredibly well. The formula gently relaxes the overloaded jaw muscles that clench. It significantly reduces the force your jaw exerts during the night, protecting your teeth from severe wear and preventing painful morning headaches.

How does BOTOX® help with TMJ disorder?

The injections force overactive jaw muscles to disengage. This massive reduction in muscle tension significantly reduces stress on your TMJ mechanism. The joint finally heals properly, significantly reducing popping, locking, and radiating pain, all safely and quickly.

Is dental BOTOX® painful?

The process is remarkably comfortable. Due to fine needles and the speed of the injections, patients generally feel only a tiny prick. The slight sensation fades instantly, offering a fast, completely painless overall experience with zero physical recovery time.

How long will it take to see results from dental BOTOX®?

Most patients notice significant changes within 3 to 5 days. Whether we are smoothing out a gummy smile or easing deep TMJ tension, the product reaches its absolute peak effect precisely around the 2-week mark. You enjoy steady, gradual improvement every single day until then.

How long do dental BOTOX® results last?

The effects generally last 3 to 4 months. As your body slowly processes the medication, normal muscle activity gradually re-emerges. Maintaining a strict schedule with your dentist ensures your symptoms or wrinkles never get a chance to fully return between visits.

What should I avoid after dental BOTOX® treatment?

Following basic after-BOTOX® injection care is essential. Do not push on the treated areas or undergo intense facial treatments. Skip vigorous exercise and hot saunas for a day. Keeping your head upright right after the session helps the product bond properly.
