What Are Some Benefits?
Ease Your Clenching
Xeomin is frequently used in dentistry to manage temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding). The symptoms of TMJ include headaches, jaw pain, and difficulty chewing. Bruxism can result in chipped teeth, worn enamel, and jaw discomfort. Xeomin works by relaxing the muscles involved in clenching and grinding, relieving these uncomfortable symptoms.
Smooth Out Wrinkles and Lines
Seeking to turn back the clock? Xeomin is also an efficient wrinkle treatment. Xeomin is FDA approved to treat forehead lines and can even be used preventatively to treat muscles around the forehead, eyes and mouth to prevent fine lines before they form.
Protect Your Pearly Whites
The relaxed muscles achieved with Xeomin can also positively impact your teeth. By reducing the excessive force placed on your teeth due to grinding, this treatment can help prevent future damage and preserve your smile.

What to Expect
After discussing your concerns and goals, our expert dentists will assess your suitability for Xeomin or Dysport and explain the potential benefits and risks. Your treatment plan will be personalized, with injection sites and dosage determined based on your needs.
The dentist will inject Xeomin into the designated muscles using a small needle. The injections are minimally invasive, and you can typically resume normal activities right after the procedure.
Results will show within 1-2 weeks of the injection. The treatment is so effective that we’ve found it significantly reduces the strength of your clenching habits, lasting anywhere from 3 to 12 months.
