Cosmetic Injections
These non-invasive, outpatient treatments are designed to reduce signs of aging and eliminate what’s known as a “double chin”. One injection offered by our dentists relaxes facial muscles to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, treat TMJ-related pain, and reduce high lip lines. The other available injection targets fat beneath the chin, destroying fat cells to permanently reduce fullness. These non-surgical options are quick, effective, and require no downtime, helping you achieve a more confident appearance.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offered at our dental office are a minimally invasive solution to restore volume and rejuvenate the face. In just under 30 minutes, immediate results can be seen which many patients appreciate. Fillers can add volume to sagging skin, plump lips and cheeks, smooth facial wrinkles, and create more symmetrical features. Perfect for combating the effects of aging, such as decreased collagen, fillers provide a refreshed, youthful outcome.
PDO Smooth Threads
A more gradual but still highly effective skin treatment, smooth threads are polydioxanone (PDO) dissolvable sutures that tighten and even out the face. These hair-thin threads, made from a neutral, biodegradable substance, are inserted under the skin to stimulate collagen production, promoting a firmer facial appearance. This minimally invasive option harnesses decades of medical safety, delivering an improvement to the skin’s elasticity over a long-term period.
Lifting Threads
A offers a non-surgical alternative to dermal fillers, using temporary sutures to subtly raise sagging skin around the nose, mouth, eyes, and neck. Medical-grade threads are placed under the skin, pulling it into a firmer position while stimulating collagen production through the body’s natural healing response. Results can last 1-3 years, with the threads dissolving fully over time, providing a long-lasting, rejuvenated appearance without the need for surgery.
Microneedling
Another minimally invasive skin treatment offered by our dentists, microneedling uses a specialized pen or roller to create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles. Ideal for treating acne scars, enlarged pores, and even promoting hair regrowth, microneedling enhances skin appearance by increasing blood flow and collagen to the treated areas for natural rejuvenation.
PRF Bio Fillers
A natural, regenerative injectable treatment, PRF bio fillers use a patient’s own blood to create a cosmetic filler. This therapy harnesses the healing power of growth factors, cytokines, and platelets to promote tissue regeneration and skin rejuvenation. Blood is drawn inside our office, spun in a centrifuge, and heat-treated to form a gel-like material, which is then injected to restore volume and enhance facial features with a completely natural, biocompatible filler.
