Many patients struggle with visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, hollow areas, and even jaw pain. These concerns not only affect physical appearance but can also diminish confidence and comfort.
Fortunately, modern treatments like Botox and dermal fillers offer effective, non-surgical solutions. At The Toothery in Estates, IL, we use advanced techniques to revitalize your appearance and give you a renewed sense of confidence.

Botox, a neurotoxin sourced from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, is administered via injections and temporarily relaxes muscles. It blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for muscle contractions.
While typically used in cosmetic treatments to effectively diminish dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet and frown lines, Botox is also utilized in managing conditions such as muscle spasms, chronic migraines, and Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders.
At The Toothery, we recognize that teeth grinding and jaw clenching can cause more than just headaches and lockjaw—they can lead to long-term oral health issues. Our team is dedicated to treating TMJ pain and improving your overall well-being. While traditional methods such as splint therapy, bite correction, and mouthguards are effective, Botox offers a modern alternative for TMJ relief.
Botox works by relaxing the jaw muscles, breaking the grinding cycle, and preventing further oral damage. This minimally invasive treatment helps relieve pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders, especially those triggered by stress. Incorporating Botox into personalized treatment plans provides a comprehensive solution for TMJ concerns, promoting lasting relief!
