Botox
What is Botox?
Botox is a therapeutic treatment designed to relax overactive muscles, helping to reduce strain, relieve tension, and support more comfortable, balanced function. At Everkind Dental, it is often used to manage symptoms of TMJ disorders, including jaw pain, clenching, grinding, and tension-related headaches.
Dr. Matini has advanced training through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and takes a precise, clinical approach to each injection. She carefully evaluates muscle activity, bite patterns, and areas of tension to create a treatment plan focused on meaningful relief and long-term comfort. While some patients may notice a softening of facial lines, the primary goal is to restore comfort and balance so you can move, speak, and rest more naturally. Each visit is designed to feel calm, supportive, and thoughtfully tailored to your needs.
