Complement your beautiful smile with a beautiful face! Dr. Daniel Butterman is certified by the International Academy of Facial Esthetics to perform Botox and Juvederm injections. He was encouraged to pursue the certification by patients who, during the course of the past seventeen years, have benefitted from Dr. Butterman's gentle injection technique.  And patients who had experienced smile make-overs with implants, veneers or other cosmetic procedures were asking Dr. Butterman to give them beautiful lips to frame their new smile.
 
Because a dentist has better knowledge of oral and oral-facial areas than any other health care professional, Dr. Butterman is the provider of choice for Botox and dermal filler procedures.  He is familiar with the function and position of facial muscles and administers many oral injections each day.  Typically, the dermal filler procedure is very painful when it's performed by a provider who is limited to using only topical skin anesthetics.  With a simple injection; however, Dr. Butterman can eliminate any pain involved with the dermal filler procedure.  
 
Botox and fillers can be performed quickly and easily during your routine check-up and cleaning appointment, or you can schedule a separate appointment for the procedure.  For more information about botox and dermal fillers, or to schedule your consultation, please contact us today.  

Dermal Fillers

Juvederm is the one of the latest dermal fillers introduced to the U.S. market by Allergan, the company which manufactures Botox. It is a smooth gel that flows consistently and easily into the skin and provides a natural look and feel.

Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

With Juvederm, the results are immediate. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last up to 6 months or more. Juvederm can be used virtually anywhere on the face, with most success in the lips, nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth), and the marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth downward to the jawline).

Botox

Botox treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the affects of facial wrinkles. Crow's feet, worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. These are referred to as dynamic wrinkle lines and all are treatable with this procedure. Cosmetic denervation is the process of injecting botox into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.
 
Botox injections also can be used to cure a "gummy smile."  A gummy smile is caused by a strong pull of the upper lip, resulting in a lot of gums showing when smiling.  Fox News recently featured a Botox for Gummy Smiles story about how a dental botox procedure can quickly turn a gummy smile into a beautiful smile.     

Botox injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research suggests that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment's effect.
