Expert Care for Refreshing Your Appearance and Relieving Discomfort

Whether you're looking to refresh your appearance or relieve persistent jaw muscle discomfort, our experienced dental clinicians provide personalised treatment in a safe, comfortable and professional environment.

Cosmetic Treatments

Cosmetic anti-wrinkle treatments work by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, helping create a refreshed and natural appearance without surgery. This is known as cosmetic Botox treatment. 

Common treatment areas include:
  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Bunny lines
  • Lips

Our philosophy is simple—to achieve subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your features while maintaining normal facial expression.

Therapeutic Muscle Relaxation for Jaw Tension & Teeth Grinding

Many people don’t realise that muscle-relaxing treatments are also used in dentistry to help manage excessive jaw muscle activity.

If you regularly wake with jaw soreness, headaches, facial muscle fatigue or notice yourself clenching or grinding your teeth, overactive chewing muscles may be contributing to your symptoms.

By relaxing these muscles, treatment may help to:

For patients experiencing symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, relaxing the surrounding jaw muscles may help reduce the muscular forces placed on the joint. This may improve comfort and form part of a comprehensive management plan where appropriate.

Depending on your individual needs, treatment may be recommended alongside custom occlusal splints, physiotherapy, bite management and other conservative therapies to support long-term oral health.

Every treatment plan is tailored to your facial anatomy, muscle activity and individual goals.

Small amounts of medication are carefully administered into selected muscles using very fine needles. Most patients describe the procedure as causing only minor discomfort.

Following treatment, you can generally return to your normal daily activities immediately.

Results typically:
  • Begin within 3–5 days
  • Reach full effect after approximately 10–14 days

Regular review appointments can help maintain your desired results where ongoing treatment is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does treatment hurt?

Most patients report only mild discomfort. Treatment is quick and performed using very fine needles.

Results generally last between three and four months, although this varies depending on the individual and the treatment area.

For many patients, relaxing the overactive jaw muscles can reduce the force of clenching and grinding, helping improve comfort while reducing excessive muscle activity. Treatment may also be used alongside other therapies, such as custom night splints.

For patients experiencing muscle-related jaw discomfort, relaxing the surrounding jaw muscles may help reduce tension and decrease the forces placed on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Your clinician will determine whether this treatment may be suitable as part of your overall management plan.

Yes. Our goal is always to achieve subtle, balanced and natural-looking results that complement your facial features.

There is minimal downtime, and most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
