Why whiten your teeth?

A whiter, brighter smile can increase your confidence. If you’re not smiling because you’re uncomfortable with dull-colored or stained teeth, get in touch with Hammond & Proctor Family Dentistry. We can help.

In-Office Whitening vs. At-Home Whitening Kits

There are numerous ways you can whiten your teeth with over-the-counter products being the most convenient. However, these at-home kits often demand multiple applications over the period of a few weeks.

Is the In-Office Whitening Affordable?

You might think that requiring a dentist for a more effective whitening treatment would cost more than you can afford, but you're likely to be surprised just how inexpensive it is! Recent advancements in whitening technology have made our services much more affordable for patients.

Botox For TMJ | Folsom & Cameron Park

Relief from TMJ Disorder with Botox

Jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension are common signs of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). At Hammond & Proctor Family Dentistry, we understand how disruptive these symptoms can be to your daily life. That’s why we offer Botox therapy as a safe, effective treatment option for patients experiencing discomfort from TMJ disorder or teeth grinding.

Why Consider Botox for TMJ?

When your jaw muscles are overactive, they put stress on your TMJ, leading to pain and inflammation. Botox works by gently relaxing these muscles, which helps:

Reduce jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism)
Relieve headaches and facial tension
Ease muscle spasms in the jaw
Decrease inflammation and pain in the TMJ
Improve overall comfort and range of motion

What to Expect During Treatment

Botox treatment for TMJ is simple, quick, and requires little to no downtime. Here’s what happens:

Consultation

We’ll evaluate your symptoms, discuss your health history, and determine if Botox is the right solution for you.

Targeted Injections

Small doses of Botox are carefully placed into the jaw muscles most responsible for clenching, usually the masseter and temporalis muscles.

Quick Procedure

The injections take just a few minutes, and most patients describe the process as comfortable.

Recovery

You can return to your normal activities right away, with many patients noticing relief within days.

How Long Do Results Last?

Botox therapy may be an excellent option if you:

Have frequent headaches caused by jaw tension

Grind or clench your teeth, especially at night
