The Perfect Frame for Your Beautiful Smile
A beautiful smile doesn’t end at your teeth. At St. Pierre Family Dentistry, we believe in a comprehensive approach to facial esthetics. Because Dr. St. Pierre has extensive training in the complex structures of the face, head, and neck, he is uniquely qualified to provide cosmetic injectables that look natural, balanced, and rejuvenated.
Whether you are looking to smooth fine lines, restore lost volume, or find relief from chronic jaw tension, our facial esthetic treatments provide a non-surgical way to look and feel your best.
Why Choose a Dentist for Injectables?
Many patients in Covington and Mandeville are surprised to learn that a dentist is often the most qualified provider for Botox and fillers.
- Anatomic Expertise: Dentists perform hundreds of injections every year in the exact areas where Botox and fillers are applied.
- Mastery of Symmetry: St. Pierre focuses on facial proportions and smile lines daily, ensuring your results enhance your unique features.
- Clinical Environment: Receive your treatments in a safe, sterile, and professional dental office.
Botox® Cosmetic & Therapeutic
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkles and certain types of facial pain.
Cosmetic Benefits:
- Smoothing Fine Lines: Effectively targets “crow’s feet” around the eyes, forehead furrows, and “elevens” between the brows.
- The “Lip Flip”: A subtle technique to relax the upper lip, making it appear fuller without the use of fillers.
- Gummy Smile Correction: Reducing the amount of gum tissue shown when you smile.
Therapeutic Benefits (TMJ Relief):
Because the treatment of TMJ problems is an area of expertise for Dr. St. Pierre, he often uses Botox therapeutically. By relaxing the masseter (jaw) muscles, we can significantly reduce:
- Chronic jaw pain and tension.
- Tension-related headaches and migraines.
- Sleep-related teeth grinding (bruxism).
Dermal Fillers
While Botox relaxes muscles, dermal fillers (such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®) add volume. As we age, we naturally lose collagen and subcutaneous fat. Fillers help “plump” these areas for a more youthful appearance.
- Lip Enhancement: Adding subtle volume and definition to the lips.
- Nasolabial Folds: Smoothing the “smile lines” that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Softening the lines that pull the corners of the mouth downward.
What to Expect
Facial esthetic treatments are quick, “lunch-break” procedures.
- Consultation: St. Pierre will discuss your goals and perform a facial analysis.
- Treatment: Using ultra-fine needles, the injections are performed in just 10–20 minutes. Most patients report only a minor pinching sensation.
- Results: Botox results typically appear within 3–7 days, while fillers provide instant results. Both treatments require zero downtime, allowing you to return to your day immediately.
