Dental Botox: What to Expect and How to Prepare

If therapeutic Botox is part of your care plan, knowing what a visit involves takes away the mystery. Here is how we handle it at Cambie Dental from start to finish.

The Consultation First

Every treatment starts with a conversation about your symptoms and goals, whether that is jaw tension relief or softening a gummy smile. We examine the relevant muscles and confirm that Botox is the right tool.

We also review your medical history to make sure the treatment is appropriate for you. Only after that do we plan the exact placement and dose.

The Appointment Itself

The treatment is quick, using a very fine needle to deliver small, targeted doses to the planned muscles. Most people describe only a brief pinch, and there is no downtime afterward.

Because the doses are conservative and precise, the goal is relief or subtle refinement rather than a dramatic change. You can return to your day right away.

Simple Aftercare And Results

Aftercare is easy, with a few short‑term reminders like staying upright and avoiding rubbing the area for the rest of the day. Effects build gradually over several days rather than appearing instantly.

The results are temporary and wear off over time, so we plan follow‑ups to keep you comfortable. At Cambie Dental we check in to see how you responded and adjust future treatment as needed.
