At Smile Line Dentistry, we take a comprehensive approach to patient care, offering our patients the latest in BOTOX® & Dermal Filler dental therapeutic treatments. Today facial injectables are widely used to alleviate TMD, facial pain and number of other dental related issues. Experienced in an extensive range of dental procedures, Dr. Mandeep Sidhu is highly skilled and trained to perform non-invasive injectables to treat facial muscles and structures in and around the mouth. In addition, BOTOX® & Dermal Filler dental treatments often have a dual benefit, offering patients therapeutic care while also providing aesthetic results.
Dentists are trained to anesthetize cranial nerves in the head and neck that are critically sensitive, more so than the nerves treated with BOTOX®. A dentist seeks to optimize the results of any cosmetic or restorative dental procedure, and Dr. Sidhu considers the benefits of facial injectables for the most comprehensive approach to your customized treatment plan. Who has more knowledge or training of the oral maxillofacial areas and experience giving painless injections than a dentist? Arguably there is no one more qualified to offer BOTOX® and filler treatments.
BOTOX® is used to remedy a number of dental issues, such as facial pain, jaw tension, angular cheilitis and facial muscle spasms. TMJ disorder, teeth clenching, and teeth grinding (Bruxism), can cause pain and discomfort, disrupting daily life. Quick and painless BOTOX® injections deliver targeted treatment to relax the muscles that control the jaw, preventing wear on teeth and alleviating facial pain. TMJ BOTOX treatments also have an aesthetic effect of naturally slimming the face, narrowing the appearance of a square or wide jaw. Upper face areas can also be treated with BOTOX® to help with tension headaches and facial pain that are often times associated with TMD. Treating these areas will also help reduce the signs of aging that come from heavy contraction of muscles.
BOTOX ® is a proven alternative to help you alleviate symptoms and provide instant relief.
Many patients see their dentist with complaints of jaw or facial pain. In many cases, this pain is caused by either bruxism (teeth grinding) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which are related conditions.
TMJ disorders refer to a collection of jaw problems that may be treated by a dentist. The jaw joint is a complex one, with a number of structures that facilitate vertical and lateral movements. Problems may develop in the numerous muscles, ligaments and nerves that help the joint perform correctly. A misaligned jaw can also lead to TMJ disorder.

The BOTOX® alternative treatment for TMJ disorders and jaw tension is usually quick and effective.
BOTOX® is a safe alternative treatment for most people who experience jaw tension or have a TMJ disorder. This treatment helps to alleviate pain from many joint and muscle spasms associated with TMJ.
BOTOX® injections often provide substantial relief while reducing the ability of facial muscles to engage in problematic, excessive grinding.
BOTOX® allows muscles to perform daily activities such as talking, chewing, and swallowing. In addition, the treatment can help safeguard dental health, since excessive grinding can result in worn teeth and damaged gums that may require costly treatment.
The TMJ BOTOX® treatment is a non-surgical procedure performed in our dental office that takes just a few minutes.
Most patients experience noticeable improvement within 1-2 days of their first treatment, although relief can take up to a week. Results last 3-4 months.
Bruxism is a specific condition in which people grind or clench their teeth, often while sleeping (most do so involuntarily). Grinding or clenching causes the muscle to grow stronger, resulting in headaches, earaches, or facial pain, which worsen with time.
BOTOX® treatments have been shown to alleviate Bruxism. BOTOX® Bruxism treatment works by relaxing the jaw muscle sufficiently to reduce grinding symptoms while maintaining normal jaw and teeth action.
Besides relief from jaw pain, tension and headaches, patients see a dramatic change in appearance after 2-3 sessions of BOTOX® treatments. The square, heavy appearance of their lower face softens into a more narrow and esthetically pleasing one.
Gummy smile refers to the excessive display of gum tissue when smiling, often considered unattractive.
An injection of BOTOX® above the upper lip reduces the lifting action of lip muscles, thus reducing the display of gum tissues. Treatments provide patients with a more aesthetic and beautiful smile.
Treatments are painless and take 2-5 minutes. The results can last between 3-4 months.
As our skin ages, it gradually loses its major constituents: Collagen, Elastin and Hyaluronic Acid. Collagen acts as the major support protein for our skin, elastin allows our skin to stay firm, and hyaluronic acid helps to trap water and add volume to our skin - keeping collagen and elastin moist. Since Hyaluronic Acid is a primary component of healthy skin, naturally diminishing levels associated with age result in dryness, reduced flexibility, and facial volume deficiencies.
Smile Line Dentistry provides Juvéderm™ treatments to restore perioral volume loss and sagging and depressions in the skin that can lead to angular cheilitis. Angular cheilitis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the corners of the mouth or oral commissures when skin breaks down due to the aging process.
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your skin.Dermal Fillers can be used to volumize lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, corners of mouth, filling interdental papilla (the small gap between adjacent teeth), and to correct smile asymmetries.
Minimally invasive injectables are becoming an increasingly popular remedy for the appearance of aging skin. However, many people may not be aware of their other uses. Candidates for injectable treatments include:
One of the many advantages of treatments in our dental office is the use of multiple anesthetic options. Patient comfort is important to us. For this reason, we offer prescription strength numbing cream and ice that can be applied to areas prior to treatments. We offer a modified dental block for painless injections in sensitive areas such as the lips. Dr. Sidhu can also perform this procedure with lidocaine diluted within the filler, providing maximum patient comfort every time.
Dental Practitioners are experts in injections and anesthetic techniques resulting in minimal discomfort for pain-free treatments.
Depending on the area treated, Juvéderm™ results typically last from 6 months to 1 year. BOTOX ® can last 3-4 months, sometimes longer.
Procedures are brief and only take approximately 10-30 minutes depending on treatment(s).They can be done during routine dental appointments, with no downtime.
BOTOX® is one of the safest cosmetic procedures available and its use has a history of more than 20 years. Only a small amount is needed to produce optimal results. Juvéderm™ is a hyaluronic acid, which is produced naturally in your own body. During your consultation, Dr. Sidhu will review your options, including any possible contraindications.
