Cosmetic dentists don't just offer dental treatments any more. Some now also offer a range of facial injectable procedures. So, as well as regular dentistry work, your dentist could give you treatments like dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections. 

You may not have thought about having these kinds of cosmetic procedures done in the dentist's chair before. However, there are some advantages to taking this route rather than going to a traditional beauty clinic. What are the benefits of having your dentist do this kind of work?

Tap Into Expert Training

Dentists don't just learn about teeth and gums when they train. They also need to have a solid understanding of the anatomy of the face and neck. They need to know how the nerves, muscles and vascular system work in these areas.

This puts your dentist in a great position to understand the effects of facial injectables and how to use them. They understand how to get the best results in the safest possible way.

Find an Experienced Cosmetician

Dentists often have some experience of working with cosmetic injectables as part of their everyday work. For example, they may be used to injecting fillers into gums to fill the gaps between teeth; they also sometimes use injections to treat problems in the jaw joints, such as temporomandibular joint disorders.

So, if you get a dentist to give you cosmetic injections, you know that they already some experience of administering these treatments. They are also already set up with all the kit they need, and they work in a sterile and hygienic environment. This should give you some extra peace of mind.

Get a One-Stop Solution

If you've decided to have cosmetic work done on your face, then you may be combining some dental work with injectables. For example, you may have decided to brighten your smile with veneers and to have a treatment to smooth out your facial wrinkles.

If you go to your dentist to have this work done, then you can have your procedures done at the same place and by the same person. You don't have to juggle making appointments at two different clinics. You can bundle all your procedures together which may also be quicker.

If you want some cosmetic injections but aren't sure what your options are, then contact your dentist. They can tell you which facial injectables they offer and how they might work for you.
