EXPERT BOTOX AND FILLER TREATMENTS IN RANDOLPH, NJ

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes overactive facial muscles. It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, which helps soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At Revive Dental, we use Botox not only for cosmetic enhancements—such as smoothing forehead lines or lifting the brows—but also for therapeutic purposes, like treating TMJ disorders, jaw clenching, and chronic facial pain. When administered properly, Botox can restore a more relaxed, refreshed appearance without altering your natural facial expressions.

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances that add volume to areas of the face that have thinned or sagged over time. Unlike Botox, which works by relaxing muscles, fillers physically plump up the skin to smooth wrinkles or enhance facial contours. Fillers are commonly used to define the lips, fill in nasolabial folds (smile lines), restore cheek volume, and contour the jawline or chin. At Revive Dental, we carefully assess your facial structure to determine whether fillers, Botox, or a combination of both will best suit your goals.

Yes, in fact, dentists are among the most qualified professionals to perform facial injections. Dentists receive extensive training in oral and facial anatomy, nerve pathways, and muscle function, which makes them uniquely skilled at administering injectables with precision and safety. At Revive Dental, our team follows strict clinical protocols and only uses FDA-approved products from reputable manufacturers. Patients often report that they feel more confident receiving aesthetic treatments in a dental environment because of the additional safeguards and professional expertise involved.

Results vary depending on the treatment and the area being addressed. Botox effects typically become noticeable within a few days and can last several months. Dermal fillers generally produce immediate results, with full effects visible once any initial swelling subsides. The longevity of fillers depends on factors such as the type of product used, the injection site, and your body's natural metabolism. While results aren’t permanent, they can be maintained with scheduled follow-up appointments, which we’ll help you plan based on your individual needs and goals.

Your appointment will begin with a consultation, during which we review your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and examine your facial structure. The actual injection process is quick and relatively comfortable, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild pinch. After the treatment, you can return to your normal activities almost immediately, although we may advise avoiding strenuous exercise or facial massages for the first 24 hours. Mild redness or swelling is common, but it typically subsides within a day or two. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.

Yes, Botox is increasingly used to treat the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), including jaw pain, clenching, and teeth grinding. By injecting small amounts of Botox into the overactive jaw muscles, we can help reduce muscle tension and prevent involuntary movements that cause discomfort. Many patients experience significant relief within a week of treatment and report better sleep, fewer headaches, and improved jaw mobility. At Revive Dental, we carefully evaluate your symptoms to determine whether therapeutic Botox is the right solution for your condition.

Not at all. When administered correctly, Botox enhances your appearance by softening lines while preserving your ability to express emotions naturally. At Revive Dental, we prioritize subtle, conservative treatment techniques that align with your natural facial structure. Our approach ensures that you’ll look refreshed, not overdone. We tailor each treatment to your facial anatomy and personal preferences, aiming for results that look like you—only more relaxed and rejuvenated.

Most healthy adults over the age of 18 who want to improve facial symmetry, reduce wrinkles, or restore volume are good candidates for Botox and dermal fillers. However, suitability depends on a variety of factors including your medical history, skin condition, and personal goals. During your consultation at our Randolph office, we’ll perform a full evaluation to determine whether injectables are right for you. If you’re not a good candidate, we’ll recommend alternative options or refer you to the appropriate specialist.
