Refresh your look and diminish fine lines with expert injectable facial aesthetics for a naturally vibrant appearance.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment in Dulwich
Here at Smile 4 U Dental Practice Dulwich, we know that a beautiful smile is only part of the picture – so it is logical that our experienced, knowledgeable practitioners should extend their cosmetic skillset from the smile to the entire face. To that end, we are delighted to offer a range of science-backed, injectable facial aesthetic treatments in Dulwich, including botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. They work in different ways to soften wrinkles and deep expression lines, plump and sculpt lips and cheeks, and rejuvenate the entire complexion.
While these popular treatments can create a fantastic aesthetic result, they do contain active agents that need careful management. With our advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and training in the use of the chemicals and materials used in dental practice, the team at The Gardens Dental Centre is uniquely qualified to carry out facial aesthetic treatments safely, for a subtle, natural-looking result.
Wrinkle Softening in Dulwich
At The Gardens Dental Centre (Part of Smile 4 U), we use botulinum toxin injections to smooth away deep expression lines such as crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and ‘elevens’. Botulinum toxin is the same generic ingredient used by the Botox ® brand, and works in the same way to relax the facial muscles and revitalise the skin.
Anti-Grinding & Migraine Relief (Masseter Botox)
Stop the pain. Protect your smile. Feel the difference.
At The Gardens Dental Centre, we understand that jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism) can quietly cause real damage, worn enamel, cracked teeth, persistent jaw ache, and debilitating headaches or migraines that disrupt daily life. Our masseter Botox treatment offers a clinically proven, minimally invasive solution that addresses the root cause.
The masseter is the powerful muscle on either side of your jaw responsible for chewing. In people who grind or clench, often unconsciously, and frequently during sleep, this muscle becomes overactive and hypertrophied (enlarged). A small number of precisely placed Botox injections into the masseter relax the muscle’s activity, reducing the intensity of grinding and clenching without affecting your ability to eat or speak normally.
The same treatment also provides significant relief for tension headaches and migraines that originate from jaw muscle tension, a root cause that is often overlooked.
- Bruxism (teeth grinding & jaw clenching) – day or night
- TMJ pain – aching, clicking, or tightness in the jaw joint
- Tension headaches & migraines linked to jaw muscle overactivity
- A widened, square jaw – the treatment naturally slims the lower face over time as the muscle reduces in size
The procedure is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. After a thorough consultation, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle on each side of the jaw. The appointment typically takes around 20–30 minutes, and most patients return to their normal routine immediately afterwards.
Results begin to take effect within one to two weeks, with full results visible at around four to six weeks. The effects typically last four to six months, and with repeat treatments, many patients find the muscle gradually reduces its activity over time.
Dentists are uniquely qualified to administer masseter Botox, our deep understanding of jaw anatomy, bite mechanics, and facial musculature means you are in expert hands. At The Gardens Dental Centre, serving our communities in Dulwich and Peckham, we take a whole-mouth approach to your health. We don’t just treat teeth, we treat the whole person.
Every treatment begins with a full consultation to understand your symptoms, assess your bite, and confirm that masseter Botox is the right option for you. We take the time to listen, and we’re honest about what the treatment can and cannot achieve.
Masseter Botox may be suitable for you if you experience any of the following:
- Waking up with a sore jaw, headache, or facial tension
- Visible wear, chipping, or sensitivity on your teeth
- A dentist or doctor who has noted signs of grinding
- Regular migraines or tension headaches without a clear cause
- A noticeably square or heavy jawline you’d like to soften
