Overview
Botox at Blossom
Botox is a trusted, non-surgical treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. It is derived from Clostridium botulinum and works on dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form with repeated facial movements, to leave your skin looking smoother.
Botox can soften crow's feet, marionette lines and other expression lines, for a naturally refreshed look that helps you feel more confident. It is FDA-approved for softening certain facial lines, including crow's feet.
Because Blossom brings dental care and facial aesthetics together, Dr. Huda Aljonaidy looks at your face, jaw and smile as a whole. That's why Botox here isn't only about lines, as it can also bring relief from teeth grinding and clenching.

Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
Bruxism is unconscious grinding and clenching of the teeth, during the day or at night. Left untreated, it can lead to jaw discomfort, fractured teeth and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Common causes include stress, anxiety, sleep disorders and a misaligned bite. Watch for these common signs:
- Flattened, worn teeth (attrition)
- Pain or soreness in the cheek muscles
- Cracked or chipped teeth or fillings
- Headaches
- Gum recession
- Limited mouth opening
How Botox helps with bruxism
Dr. Huda recommends a custom mouthguard as the first line of treatment. Worn at night, it keeps your teeth from touching, which lowers the chance of the masseter muscle overworking and causing pain. For people with severe bruxism, adjusting to a mouthguard can be hard, and Botox can help on its own or alongside one.
Botox relaxes the overworked jaw muscles, such as the masseter, the medial and lateral pterygoids and the temporalis. This can ease soreness and reduce the pressure on your teeth that can lead to fractures, pain or headaches. You can still eat and chew normally, and over time it can help ease the habit of clenching.
FAQ
Questions about Botox
Still wondering about something? Call us at (386) 947-7603 or send us a message, and we'll be glad to help.
How soon will I see results?
Botox works gradually, and the full effect usually appears within three days to two weeks. Dr. Huda re-evaluates after your first treatment, so she can make adjustments if needed.
How long does treatment take, and is there downtime?
Treatment takes less than 30 minutes. You can return to your usual routine right away.
Does it hurt?
Botox is given with a very fine needle, and the injections are quick. Most people describe only a brief pinch.
Can Botox help with teeth grinding?
It can. Botox relaxes the overworked jaw muscles behind grinding and clenching, which can ease soreness and reduce the pressure on your teeth. Dr. Huda recommends a custom mouthguard first and may combine the two.
How long does Botox last?
Botox isn't permanent, so treatments are repeated to maintain your results. How long it lasts varies from person to person, and Dr. Huda will suggest a schedule that suits you.
How much does Botox cost?
Cost depends on the areas treated and how much Botox you need. We'll go over costs and options at your consultation. To get started, request an appointment online or call (386) 947-7603.
