After many years of improving patient’s smiles I found that no matter how wonderful the teeth looked if the soft tissues that surrounded the smile were tired, it would detract from the overall result. As a result some years ago I took specialised training in neuromodulators (botox, dysport) and facial injectables or facial esthetics.

What Are Facial Fillers?

The facial fillers we use are made of hyaluronic acid. This is a biologically natural material found in our own bodies and skin. It is water attracting and results in plump younger looking skin. They act by providing support or scaffolding and prop up the skin which helps to eliminate lines.

It is important to have a consultation before you commence treatment. There are some guidelines to make your treatment successful and safe. The health of your skin before treatment is also very important and we need to make sure everything is in optimal health before you commence treatment to get the best results.

Dentists are the obvious choice for facial injectables.

•We use needles all day, every day.
•We know the anatomy of the face very well.
•We can co-ordinate the soft tissue result with the teeth result as they must be synergistic.
•It can be coordinated with your check-up. appointment to save time and money.
•When carrying out major aesthetic changes for the teeth that will lead to added support the soft tissues need to be taken into account.
•Facial fillers can be painful but the placement of local anaesthetic can make the procedure completely painless.
