Neuromodulator treatment may be discussed for cosmetic facial concerns and, where appropriate, for clenching, grinding, bruxism, or tension-related symptoms. As a dentist with expanded training in neuromodulators, Dr. Pellosie evaluates the facial muscles and TMJ in detail and reviews whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Neuromodulators such as Botox® are purified proteins that temporarily reduce small muscle contractions. By relaxing underlying muscle activity, the skin above can appear smoother. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
Where clinically appropriate, neuromodulator treatment may be discussed as a possible support for symptoms associated with bruxism (clenching and grinding) or certain tension-related concerns. This is not a cure, and outcomes vary by patient. A full clinical evaluation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Dentistry is built around the anatomy of the head and neck: the muscles that move the jaw, the joints that hinge it, and the tissues that frame your smile. That is the same anatomy neuromodulator treatment works within.
Because Dr. Pellosie also sees your bite, wear patterns, and jaw joints, the conversation is not limited to lines on the skin. If your symptoms point to clenching or grinding, that gets evaluated as part of the same visit.
The first appointment is an assessment. We review your medical history and medications, look at how the facial muscles move at rest and in expression, examine the jaw joints and the wear on your teeth, and talk through what you hope to change.
If treatment is appropriate, we explain the plan, the areas involved, what to expect afterwards, and the fee before anything is scheduled. If it is not appropriate, we say so and discuss alternatives.
Most people return to their normal day right away. We give written aftercare guidance at the appointment, including what to avoid for the first several hours.
Effects appear gradually rather than immediately, so a follow-up is scheduled to review your individual response and note it for future visits.
Consultations and treatment take place at our Lake Sumter Landing office, alongside your regular dental care, so there is no separate clinic to travel to.
If you are already a patient here, the assessment can often be combined with a routine visit. Mention it when you request an appointment.
Discuss goals, medical history, and review whether treatment is appropriate.
