Botox® or Xeomin® are the trade name for Botulinum Toxin, a neurotoxin in the form of a purified protein. The mechanism of action for Botulinum Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) is really quite simple; it is injected into facial muscles but really doesn’t affect the muscle at all. Botulinum Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) works by blocking the transmitters between the motor nerves that innervate the muscle.The areas typically treated with Botulinum Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) for wrinkles are the forehead, between the eyes (glabellar region), around the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet) and around the lips (smokers lines or gummy smile). There is no loss of sensory feeling in the muscles. Once the motor nerve endings are interrupted, the muscle cannot contract, causing wrinkles in the skin to smooth. The effects of Botulinum Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) last approximately three to four months, at which time the patient will require retreatment.

Botulinum Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) has important clinical uses as an adjunct in facial pain and bruxism cases for patients with chronic TMJ and orofacial pain. Botulinum Toxin (Botox or Xeomin) is also used to complement esthetic dentistry as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. Book an appointment with Dr Dikesh Parmar to talk more about how this treatment can help you.

Crowns xequals Wed, 12/06/2017 - 12:19

A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A dental crown can restore the tooth back to its original size, shape, and color. Besides that, a crown surrounds the tooth and makes it strong again, so badly broken or decayed teeth can be strengthened with dental crowns.

A crown can cover up a stained or unusually shaped tooth or close spaces between teeth and correct minor rotations and positions of the teeth. Dental crowns can improve the general appearance, adding to patients self-confidence and giving a nicer smile.

We also offer a One Visit Crown at our Upper Hutt Branch.
