So whether you’re interested in or a TMJ treatment in Craven County, Botox could give you the care you need.
TMJ Relief
At Evolve Dentistry & Aesthetics, we help you determine whether your jaw pain or other symptoms stem from a TMJ disorder. If they do, we may recommend Botox.
The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, allows your lower jaw to move up and down for everyday processes, like eating and speaking.
When the muscles around the TMJ become strained, it can make even the simplest of jaw movements painful. Fortunately, Botox can ease your irritation using botulinum toxin, a powerful neuromodulator.
A neuromodulator can block signals between your nerves and your muscles. When we inject a neuromodulator into the muscles around your TMJ, it relaxes them, easing pain for more comfortable jaw movement.
Performing injections of Botox for TMJ only takes about 15 minutes, and you can experience results after just a single session.
Aesthetic Results
Botox isn’t just effective for treating TMJ—there are also aesthetic benefits as well. When we inject Botox into the masseter, it can slim the face. The muscle atrophies, and appears less bulbous in appearance for a more contoured look. So while you treat pain from TMJ, you can also get a boost in your self-confidence.

Botox can help you reach your wellness and aesthetic goals. But we also have a variety of other treatments available, from dental cleanings to veneers.
