Botox and Fillers
Looking to soften facial lines or restore fullness? At Lakewood Dental of Colorado, we offer Botox and dermal filler consultations to help you explore your options and understand which treatment may be right for you.
We’ll discuss your goals, review your medical history, and explain the expected results, risks, and costs before you decide.
Botox is an injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. For cosmetic purposes, it can soften certain expression lines caused by repeated muscle movement.
Your provider will assess your concerns and explain which treatment areas are appropriate for you.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can add volume and soften certain facial lines and folds. Depending on the product and treatment area, they may be used to enhance lip fullness or restore facial volume.
Botox and fillers work differently. Botox relaxes targeted muscles, while fillers add volume. During your consultation, we’ll explain the available options and help you understand the differences.
Do you experience jaw soreness, tightness, or discomfort when chewing? These symptoms can have different causes, including problems affecting the jaw joint or surrounding muscles, known as temporomandibular disorders, or TMD.
Botox can relax targeted chewing muscles and is sometimes used as part of a personalized treatment plan for TMJ-related symptoms. During your consultation, we’ll assess your jaw discomfort and discuss your treatment options, including whether Botox may be appropriate for you.

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to soften certain expression lines. Dermal fillers add volume to selected areas. The right option depends on your goals, health history, and provider’s evaluation.
Is Botox an option for TMJ-related symptoms?
Botox is sometimes used to relax chewing muscles as part of a treatment plan for TMJ-related symptoms. Your provider will evaluate the cause of your discomfort and discuss appropriate options, including simpler treatments. This use of Botox is off-label, and its effectiveness for TMD remains uncertain.
Are the results permanent?
Botox results are temporary. Many dermal fillers are also temporary, although their duration depends on the product and treatment area. Your provider will explain what to expect and whether repeat treatment may be needed.
Are there side effects?
Side effects can include bruising, swelling, tenderness, or redness. Botox may also cause unwanted muscle weakness. Your provider will explain the risks specific to your treatment before you decide.
How much does treatment cost?
The cost depends on the product, treatment area, and amount needed. We’ll explain your recommended treatment and pricing during your consultation.
Am I a candidate for treatment?
Suitability depends on your health history, goals, and the treatment being considered. Tell your provider about any medications, allergies, previous injectable treatments, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
We provide compassionate, advanced dental care that delivers lasting confidence and healthy smiles.
