What our Patient Think About Us?
Therapeutic & Cosmetic Botox in Burnaby by Certified Dentists
Ever catch yourself frowning at the mirror, rubbing your jaw from tension, or wishing your smile looked just a little more relaxed and refreshed?
Everyday stress, teeth grinding, and muscle strain can leave your face looking tired and even cause chronic pain. That’s where Botox® and facial esthetics come in.
At Burnaby Dentist and Orthodontist, we use therapeutic and cosmetic Botox to do more than smooth lines. Our dentists help patients relieve jaw pain, calm overworked facial muscles, and restore balance to both function and appearance.
If you’re dealing with TMJ discomfort, bruxism, or simply want a more youthful, natural look, our approach focuses on precision, safety, and harmony, so you can feel confident every time you smile.
Ready to see how subtle, expertly placed Botox can enhance your comfort and confidence?
Let’s see how it works, what to expect, and why it’s quickly becoming one of the most trusted esthetic treatments in Burnaby.
What Is Botox and How It Works?
Botox is a purified form of Botulinum Toxin Type A, a neuromodulator derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In controlled, medical doses, it safely relaxes targeted muscles by blocking the nerve signals that cause them to contract.
This temporary muscle relaxation smooths fine lines, softens expression-related wrinkles, and helps ease tension caused by overactive facial or jaw muscles.
The Science Behind Botox
Facial movement begins when nerves release a chemical messenger called acetylcholine, which tells muscles to contract. Botox works by preventing the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, the connection between the nerve ending and the muscle fiber. Without that signal, the muscle relaxes and the overlying skin appears smoother and less creased. These effects typically begin to appear within a few days and last three to four months, gradually fading as normal nerve activity returns.
Botox Safety in Dental Administration
Dentists are uniquely qualified to administer Botox due to their in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, nerve mapping, and muscle function in the head and neck. At Burnaby Dentist and Orthodontist, every injection follows Health Canada–approved standards for sterilization, product authenticity, and dosage precision. The result is a comfortable, predictable treatment experience that enhances both facial esthetics and muscle balance, with minimal risk of bruising or asymmetry.
Cosmetic Applications of Botox
Our cosmetic Botox treatments in Burnaby are designed to refresh your appearance while maintaining your natural expression. Each injection is placed with precision to relax specific facial muscles that contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, or imbalance.
Below, you’ll discover the most common areas where Botox is used for cosmetic enhancement, from forehead and eye treatments to jawline contouring. Each treatment area targets specific muscles to create subtle, natural improvements that bring balance and harmony to your entire face.
Forehead & Frown Line Treatment
Repetitive movements like raising your eyebrows, concentrating, or frowning can cause horizontal lines on the forehead and vertical creases between the brows (called glabellar lines).
These lines deepen with time, making the face appear tired or tense. Forehead and frown line Botox gently relaxes the overactive muscles responsible for these expressions. The treatment smooths the skin, prevents future wrinkle formation, and gives you a calm, approachable appearance while preserving natural motion.
Many patients notice a refreshed, rested look within days, with results lasting three to four months.
Brow Lift and Hooded Eyes
As we age, the muscles that pull the brows downward can begin to overpower those that lift them, leading to drooping brows and “hooded” eyelids.
A Botox brow lift restores balance by selectively relaxing these downward-pulling muscles, allowing the brows to lift slightly. The eyes appear more open, alert, and youthful, without the overarched or “surprised” look associated with over-treatment.
This approach works especially well for individuals seeking a non-surgical lift that brightens the upper face while maintaining subtlety and natural proportion.
Crow’s Feet & Periorbital Area
The delicate skin around the eyes is often one of the first places to show fine lines caused by years of smiling, squinting, and sun exposure.
Botox for crow’s feet smooths these lines by temporarily relaxing the muscles at the outer corners of the eyes. The treatment can also soften under-eye creases and subtly elevate the outer edge of the brows for a brighter, more rested look.
When done correctly, results enhance expression rather than erase it, you’ll still be able to smile and laugh naturally, just without the deep wrinkles that come with it.
Bunny Lines (Upper Nose)
Bunny lines are the small diagonal wrinkles that appear on the sides of your nose when you smile or scrunch your face. Though subtle, they can disrupt the smoothness of your mid-face.
Bunny line Botox involves precise micro-injections into the upper nose area to minimize these lines while preserving your natural smile movement.
The effect is a smoother, cleaner appearance through the center of the face that blends seamlessly with other upper-face treatments like frown line or eye Botox.
Under-Eye Area (Tear Trough Wrinkles) — Advanced Treatment
Botox for under‑eye wrinkles can gently relax the fine muscle activity that contributes to creasing in this area. When performed by a skilled injector, it smooths the lower eyelid region and refreshes the under‑eye contour for a brighter, more rested look.
Because the under‑eye zone is anatomically delicate, treatment here requires advanced training and careful case selection. Not every patient is an ideal candidate, and in some cases, dermal fillers or combination therapies may provide more natural, longer‑lasting improvement.
Your dentist will discuss all safe, clinically appropriate options during your consultation to ensure you achieve balanced, healthy results.
Gummy Smile Correction
When the upper lip lifts too high while smiling, exposing excess gum tissue, it can make some patients feel self-conscious.
Botox for gummy smiles relaxes the hyperactive muscles that elevate the upper lip, reducing gum exposure without changing the character of your smile.
The effect is balanced, confident, and natural-looking, your smile stays bright, but with improved proportion and harmony.
Masseter Botox for Facial Slimming
For patients with a strong or square jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles, Botox jaw slimming offers a powerful yet non-invasive solution.
These muscles, responsible for chewing and clenching, can enlarge from chronic tension or teeth grinding. Injecting Botox into the masseters relaxes them over time, creating a softer, more tapered facial shape while also reducing discomfort from jaw clenching or bruxism.
The result is a balanced, V-shaped contour and improved comfort during speaking, eating, or smiling.
Lip Lines and Mouth Corners
Fine lines around the mouth, often called smoker’s lines or lipstick lines, tend to deepen with age and repetitive facial movement.
Botox around the mouth relaxes these small muscles, softening wrinkles and reducing puckering. It can also be used strategically at the corners of the lips to lift a downturned smile, improving the overall contour of the mouth.
For deeper lines, we may suggest combining Botox with hyaluronic acid fillers for optimal smoothing and rejuvenation.
Comprehensive Facial Harmony
The most natural results come from treating the face as a whole rather than in isolated zones. At Burnaby Dentist and Orthodontist, our team designs personalized Botox plans that balance each feature, from forehead and eyes to jawline, for total facial symmetry.
Every patient’s muscle structure and expressions are different, which is why dosage, placement, and product choice are carefully customized.
The outcome: a refreshed, balanced, and confident version of yourself that looks effortless and authentic.

Therapeutic Botox for TMJ and Bruxism Relief
Beyond aesthetics, therapeutic Botox provides meaningful relief for patients dealing with chronic jaw tension, teeth grinding, and pain associated with TMJ disorders (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). These conditions often stem from overworked jaw muscles that never fully relax, leading to headaches, stiffness, or even worn and fractured teeth.
By calming excessive muscle activity at the source, Botox helps restore comfort, function, and balance to your bite.
How Therapeutic Botox Works?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to your skull, enabling essential movements like speaking and chewing. When surrounding muscles, such as the masseter, temporalis, or frontalis, become overactive, they create pressure on the joint, causing pain, clicking, or limited movement. Therapeutic Botox injections work by temporarily blocking nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions in these areas. This controlled relaxation relieves tension, reduces inflammation, and allows the joint to recover. Clinical research supports its effectiveness. A 2012 study found that Botox could significantly decrease pain and improve jaw movement for up to three months after treatment. Similar findings were reported in 2003 and 2008 studies, showing up to 90% symptom improvement in patients who hadn’t responded to conventional therapies. While these results are promising, experts continue to study Botox’s full long-term potential for TMJ management.
Botox Benefits for TMJ Disorders and Bruxism
Chronic bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ pain can cause a range of symptoms, from jaw soreness and headaches to difficulty chewing or a “locking” sensation. Traditional methods like nightguards protect teeth but often fail to address the root muscular tension. Botox therapy works directly on the affected muscles, offering both functional and comfort-based relief. Key benefits include:
- Reduced jaw tension and facial pain: Relaxation of the masseter and temporalis muscles decreases pressure on the joint.
- Fewer headaches and migraines: Alleviating strain on the facial muscles reduces associated tension headaches.
- Improved jaw mobility: Patients often report smoother, more comfortable chewing and talking.
- Relief when nightguards aren’t enough:Botox can supplement or replace other conservative measures.
- Subtle facial contouring: Long-term relaxation of bulky jaw muscles can create a naturally slimmer appearance.
Integration with Dental Care
At Burnaby Dentist and Orthodontist, therapeutic Botox is part of a comprehensive care plan that targets both muscular and structural causes of TMJ dysfunction. Our dentists combine Botox therapy with bite analysis, occlusal adjustments, and custom nightguards when needed to restore stability and comfort long-term. By calming overactive jaw muscles, Botox therapy not only relieves pain but also protects your teeth and joints from further stress. It offers a safe, minimally invasive alternative to surgery or chronic medication, helping patients regain ease, confidence, and a naturally balanced bite.
Treatment Process, What to Expect
At Burnaby Dentist and Orthodontist, every Botox treatment is guided by safety, precision, and comfort. Whether your goal is facial rejuvenation or relief from jaw tension, the process is clear, efficient, and designed around your needs.
Step 1 : Personalized Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your goals and assess your facial muscles. Your dentist will evaluate areas of tension or imbalance, review your medical history, and explain how Botox can help you achieve your desired results safely.
Step 2 : Injection Planning & Marking
Next, we identify the exact muscles contributing to wrinkles, tightness, or pain. Each injection site and dosage is customized based on your facial anatomy. This careful mapping ensures natural, symmetrical outcomes while minimizing the chance of overcorrection.
Step 3 : Gentle Injection Technique
Using ultra-fine needles, Botox is injected into the mapped areas with precision. The treatment usually takes 10–30 minutes, feels like a quick pinch, and requires no anesthesia. Because it’s performed by trained dentists familiar with head-and-neck anatomy, discomfort and downtime are minimal.
Step 4 : Aftercare & Results
You can return to normal activities right away. Avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the treated areas for the first 24 hours. Mild redness or tenderness fades quickly, and results begin to appear within 3–7 days, reaching full effect around two weeks. Improvements last about three to four months, with routine maintenance visits recommended for lasting balance and comfort.
Each Botox treatment at our Burnaby clinic is performed in a medical-grade environment using approved products, ensuring safe, consistent, and natural-looking results every time.

Botox Longevity, Maintenance & Follow-Up
The results of Botox treatments are temporary but highly predictable. Most patients enjoy visible improvement for three to four months, though the exact duration can vary depending on individual metabolism, muscle strength, dosage, and the area treated.
Over time, as the targeted muscles adapt and learn to stay more relaxed, some patients find that the effects last longer between sessions. Consistent maintenance is the key to sustaining smooth, balanced, and natural-looking results.
Maintenance Visits
To preserve your results and prevent muscle tension from returning, we recommend follow-up treatments every three to four months. These visits allow your dentist to monitor your facial movement patterns, fine-tune injection placement, and adjust dosage if needed. With regular care, the treated muscles become trained to remain at ease, leading to longer-lasting relaxation and smoother overall appearance. Patients who maintain a consistent schedule often require fewer units over time for the same refined effect. Maintenance appointments are quick and comfortable, often completed in less than 20 minutes and can easily fit into your routine dental or cosmetic care visits.
Combination Therapies
For those seeking a more comprehensive facial or smile transformation, Botox can be safely combined with other aesthetic or dental treatments. Pairing Botox with dermal fillers can restore lost facial volume, while combining it with cosmetic dental services (such as veneers, whitening, or smile contouring) enhances the harmony between your facial features and your smile. Our dentists take an integrated approach, ensuring each treatment complements the others for balanced, natural results. If your goal is rejuvenation, comfort, or confidence, these combination therapies create a cohesive, refreshed appearance that reflects your best self. At Burnaby Dentist and Orthodontist, your Botox journey doesn’t end with your first appointment, it continues through personalized maintenance and holistic facial care designed for lasting impact.
