Enhancing Smiles and Confidence
At Panneton Dental Group, our Omaha, NE dentist, Dr. Mark Panneton, and our team believe in the power of a confident smile. Beyond traditional dental care, we’re proud to offer Botox® treatments to our patients at our Omaha location, providing them with a comprehensive approach to both their dental well-being and aesthetics. Daoka Collins, APRN, our Botox specialist, is dedicated to helping our patients achieve a youthful and confident appearance by smoothing out the skin around their smiles.
What Is Botox?
Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is an FDA-approved injectable wrinkle muscle relaxer. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles and fine lines on the face. When administered correctly, Botox can significantly reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. The treatment is non-surgical and typically produces noticeable results within a few days, with effects lasting for several months.
The Connection Between Dental Well-Being and Aesthetics
A person’s smile is a powerful expression of confidence and self-assurance. Dental aesthetics and facial appearance are closely intertwined, with one often impacting the other. By offering Botox treatments, Daoka aims to enhance both the beauty of our patient’s smiles and the overall harmony of their facial features. A radiant smile paired with smooth, youthful skin can boost self-esteem and create a lasting positive impression.
