Facial Aesthetics
At South County Smiles, we combine the art and science of dentistry with facial aesthetics to enhance your natural beauty and address chronic issues. Whether you’re seeking cosmetic enhancements or relief from chronic conditions like TMJ or migraines, we are dedicated to providing you with exceptional care and stunning results.
What Are Facial Aesthetics?
Facial aesthetics involve non-surgical treatments designed to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the face. At South County Smiles, we offer two primary types of treatment:
- Botox: Botox is a purified protein that relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkles, leading to smoother skin. It’s commonly used to reduce the appearance of forehead lines, crows feet, and frown lines.
- Dermal Fillers: These are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. They are often used for plumping lips, enhancing cheeks, and reducing nasolabial folds.
Are Dentists Qualified to Administer Botox?
Yes! Dentists are highly qualified to administer Botox and filler treatments. Dentists have an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy and extensive training in administering injections with precision and care. This expertise makes them exceptionally well-suited to provide facial aesthetic treatments.

Treating Chronic Issues with Botox
Beyond cosmetic enhancements, Botox is also a highly effective treatment for chronic conditions such as:
- TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder): Botox can relieve the tension in the jaw muscles, reducing pain and discomfort associated with TMJ.
- Migraines: Botox has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic migraines. It helps to prevent headaches before they start by blocking the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission.
At South County Smiles, we are dedicated to improving your well-being and quality of life. Our facial aesthetic treatments are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you’re looking to enhance your appearance or find relief from chronic pain.

Yes, Botox is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines. It works by blocking the release of certain chemicals that are involved in the transmission of pain. This helps prevent migraines before they start, providing relief for patients who suffer from frequent and severe headaches.
