Botox & Gum Builder Fillers in Modesto, CA
Relief for Jaw Pain, Plus Fillers for Black Triangles and Gum Recession
Dentists understand the muscles of the face and jaw in detail, which makes the dental office a natural place for therapeutic Botox. At Dental Gallery of Modesto, Dr. Kaur offers Botox to relieve pain and tension from TMJ disorders and clenching, and gum builder fillers to help fill dark triangular gaps between teeth and soften the look of gum recession.
Botox for TMJ Pain and Tension
Clenching and grinding overwork the chewing muscles, which can lead to jaw pain, headaches, a tired or sore face in the morning, and worn or cracked teeth. Small, targeted doses of Botox relax those muscles so they can't clench as forcefully. Many patients notice less pain and tension within a couple of weeks.
Results are temporary and typically last a few months, so treatments are repeated as needed. Botox can be combined with a night guard to protect your teeth.
- Jaw pain or tightness
- Headaches linked to clenching
- Grinding that wears down teeth
- Facial muscle tension
Gum Builder Fillers for Black Triangles and Recession
Black triangles are small dark gaps that appear between teeth near the gum line, often after gum recession, orthodontic treatment, or bone loss. Gum builder fillers use a hyaluronic acid filler placed in the gum tissue to add volume, which can help reduce these gaps and create a fuller, healthier-looking gum line.
Not everyone is a candidate. Your gums need to be healthy first, and results vary from person to person. We'll examine your gums and talk through realistic expectations before treatment.
What to Expect
Both treatments start with a consultation and review of your health history. For jaw pain, our 3D CBCT scanner can also be used to look at the jaw joints when it will help the diagnosis. Injections take only a few minutes, and most patients return to normal activities right away. Mild tenderness or swelling at the injection site is common and short-lived.
