Botox

For those having cosmetic dentistry services, improving your smile can make your teeth look great.  For those wanting to also enhance the appearance of their skin to make their smile shine even brighter and their face appear younger and more vibrant, we also offer Botox treatments in our Bessemer, AL practice.  Botox is often used to treat wrinkles, enhance lips, remove forehead lines and crows feet around the eyes and to treat lines between the eyebrows called frown lines. 

How long Botox last?

The effects of Botox show up with several days and last for several months.  Many patients find it convenient to schedule their Botox injections around their 6 month dental exam and cleaning as an easy way to maintain their wrinkle free appearance, while others may come in a little more frequently. 

Are there any risks?

As with any medication, there are risks and benefits.  Having a consultation with Dr. Pitner is a great way to determine if you are a good fit for Botox and also discuss the benefits and risks.
