Facial rejuvenation is perhaps one of the most exciting new treatments available in our comprehensive care package at New Hampshire Smile Co. in Nashua, NH, and Dr. Neveu’s extensive background in dentistry and facial cosmetics lends the scientific support that natural therapeutic facial rejuvenation results demand.
The whole-person care approach that shapes all the care here in our practice also translates naturally to our facial rejuvenation treatment, because a smile makeover that doesn’t look at the whole picture of the face cannot be deemed a success, and a bruxism management plan that doesn’t tackle the muscular source of the forces of grinding cannot be deemed to address the entire clinical issue.
Facial Rejuvenation Definition
Facial rejuvenation at New Hampshire Smile Co. involves a delicate, minimally invasive delivery of neuromodulator injectable agents, which temporarily relax certain facial muscles, diminish visible dynamic wrinkles and fine lines (the result of repeated muscle contractions), and provide valuable therapeutic relief from the muscle hyperactivity that causes teeth clenching, bruxism symptoms, and TMJ-related discomfort.
This treatment is performed chairside by Dr. Neveu, with the level of care, patient attention, and honesty for which we are well-known here in our practice, all in just one visit, with no need for downtime or activity restriction.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Facial Rejuvenation?
Facial rejuvenation at New Hampshire Smile Co. addresses two important, distinct patient groups: people wanting cosmetic improvement and people looking for therapeutic relief, although many patients have a need for both of these at the same time:
Cosmetic Candidates
- People who want to minimize the look of forehead lines, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet
- Patients who wish to make their facial appearance look more rested and refreshed (without the surgical intervention and downtime of surgery)
- Patients who want to enhance or complement the results of cosmetic dental work with a more refreshed overall facial look
- People who are interested in lip enhancement, perioral rejuvenation, and gummy smile treatment, all things that can beautifully highlight a smile
Therapeutic Candidates
- People who have not yet been able to successfully treat clenching and grinding with a nightguard
- Patients who experience muscle tension in their jaw, muscle soreness in their face, and/or headaches at the temples, all of which result from chronic nocturnal teeth grinding
- Patients who are uncomfortable with TMJ issues, a situation where relaxing some of the jaw muscles with injectables can be of meaningful help
- Patients who have undergone (or are considering) cosmetic or restorative dental work and want to consider injectable management as a part of bruxism treatment for the sake of protecting their teeth
Facial Rejuvenation Benefits
Facial rejuvenation at New Hampshire Smile Co. can provide several cosmetic and therapeutic benefits, which demonstrates the comprehensive, patient-centered treatment approach that guides Dr. Neveu’s patient care philosophy:
Cosmetic Benefits
- A noticeable, yet very natural, improvement to the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines that helps patients look more relaxed and refreshed
- Natural-looking treatment that doesn’t make a patient’s face look frozen or unnatural, thanks to the level of skill and aesthetic judgment that Dr. Neveu brings to each injection
- A more rejuvenated overall facial look that supports the smile treatment provided by the cosmetic dentists here in our office
Therapeutic Benefits
- Significant reduction in the strength of the involuntary muscle contractions that are responsible for the worst cases of nocturnal teeth clenching and grinding
- Relief from the jaw muscle tension, facial soreness, and headaches at the temples that come with chronic grinding
- Reduced joint load during sleep that will help preserve your TM joints
- Reduction in the risk of parafunctional forces damaging your restorative and cosmetic dental treatment
- Improved quality of life as the pain and discomfort caused by clenching and grinding is relieved, and sleep is less disturbed
Why See A Dentist For Facial Rejuvenation?
Dentists receive some of the most advanced training of any health professional regarding facial anatomy; they undergo multiple years of learning the muscle, nerve, and soft tissue structure of the face, which will support the successful and safe administration of facial cosmetic injectables. Dr. Neveu’s unique attributes as a provider of facial rejuvenation here at New Hampshire Smile Co. go well beyond his education and training as a dentist:
- Specialized advanced education and training in dentistry and facial cosmetics for injectables
- Specific clinical knowledge regarding the masseter muscles and their role in bruxism and TMJ problems, which very few injectable providers possess
- The ability to coordinate cosmetic injectable treatment with the rest of a comprehensive smile makeover treatment, providing a complete aesthetic improvement
- The level of honesty and communication with patients that ensures what we recommend will always serve our patients’ best interest, not our financial interest, here in our practice in Nashua, NH
