Let’s Talk about “-Tox” Botox & Dysport
Neurotoxins such as Botox & Dysport are injected to relieve TMJ Clenching/Grinding pain, fix a Gummy Smile, and more! These medications temporarily paralyze the muscles, thus relaxing them.
Masseter Botox is Dr. Kern’s favorite treatment; “Masseter Botox is the Injectable form of Stress Relief!“
Botox & Dysport in other areas works in the same way to prevent or lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Dentists have specialized knowledge of facial anatomy and extensive training in oral and maxillofacial areas. Our dental professionals not only provide cosmetic treatments but also therapeutic solutions for TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, and facial pain—conditions requiring specific dental expertise. When you choose our practice, you receive comprehensive care that addresses both your oral health and facial aesthetics from qualified professionals who understand the entire facial structure.
While cosmetic applications target wrinkle reduction, therapeutic dental uses focus on relaxing the jaw muscles that cause pain and damage. For TMJ disorders and teeth grinding, we inject these neurotoxins to reduce muscle hyperactivity, alleviating pain, headaches, and preventing tooth wear. The injection sites and dosages are specifically tailored to address these functional issues rather than aesthetic concerns, providing both symptom relief and protection for your dental health.
Both treatments typically last 3-4 months for cosmetic uses and 4-6 months for therapeutic applications. Dysport generally takes effect faster (2-3 days) compared to Botox (5-7 days) and may spread over a slightly larger area, making it suitable for larger muscle groups. Botox often provides more precision for smaller areas. During your consultation, we'll recommend the best option based on your specific needs, treatment goals, and anatomy.
We use plain language to explain the current state of each patient’s oral health, so they have a thorough understanding of what needs to be done.
We offer a warm and welcoming environment in which patients feel comfortable discussing their needs. We work to learn about the unique needs of each patient so we can provide optimum dental care.
Our bright and welcoming office operates from early in the morning, ensuring that you can schedule appointments whenever you need them.
We have all the dental services you need to restore the natural confidence of your smile.
