At Revival Dental in Metairie, LA, Dr. Rachel Neumeyer offers safe, gentle Botox and dermal filler treatments to help you look and feel your best. Many people are surprised to learn that dentists are some of the most qualified providers for facial treatments.
Because dentists study facial anatomy in great detail every day, they understand how the muscles and skin work together. This helps them place Botox and fillers with care and precision.
Whether you want smoother skin, fuller lips, or relief from jaw pain, our team is here to help. We create a calm, friendly space where you can feel confident in your care.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein that relaxes tight muscles in the face. When these muscles relax, the skin above them becomes smoother. Botox is often used to soften fine lines and wrinkles, especially in areas like the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
Botox is also helpful for dental problems such as teeth grinding, clenching, and TMJ pain. By relaxing the overworked muscles, Botox can reduce tension, soreness, and headaches.
Botox treatments are quick and usually take only a few minutes. Most patients feel only a tiny pinch during the process. There is no downtime, so you can return to your normal day right after your appointment.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like products made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally exists in your body. Fillers add volume to areas where the skin has become thin or where you want a fuller look. They are often used in the lips, cheeks, smile lines, and around the mouth.
Fillers can help:
- Smooth deeper lines
- Add shape and fullness to the cheeks
- Plump and define the lips
- Improve facial balance
Just like Botox, filler treatments are safe, quick, and done in the dental office. Results are almost immediate, and many patients enjoy the benefits for several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
How Botox Helps with TMJ Pain
TMJ disorder can cause jaw pain, stiffness, headaches, and even trouble chewing. Many people try mouthguards or other treatments but still feel discomfort. Botox can be a helpful option because it reduces the tension in the jaw muscles that cause pain.
When Dr. Neumeyer places Botox in the overworked muscles, it allows them to relax. This can ease the pressure on the jaw joint and reduce clenching and grinding. Many patients feel relief within a few days and enjoy better comfort for months.
This treatment does not change your bite, and it does not interfere with normal facial movement. It simply softens the extra force that causes stress on the jaw.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your visit begins with a consultation where Dr. Neumeyer listens to your goals and answers your questions. She will examine your facial features and recommend the best treatment plan for you—Botox, fillers, or a combination of both.
During the procedure, the product is placed with tiny, gentle injections. Most patients describe the feeling as a quick pinch. If you are nervous or sensitive, we can use a numbing cream to make the process even more comfortable.
The appointment usually takes 30 minutes or less. You can return to work, school, or errands right away.
You may notice small bumps or redness at first, but this fades quickly. Botox results appear within a few days, while fillers show results right away.
Why Choose a Dentist for Botox and Fillers?
Dentists have extensive training in the muscles, nerves, and structure of the face. Every day, they work close to the lips, cheeks, and jaw. This knowledge makes them highly skilled at placing cosmetic injectables safely and accurately.
Dr. Neumeyer uses her advanced training to deliver beautiful and comfortable results while keeping your overall health in mind. You can trust that your treatment will be customized, gentle, and done with expert care.
