Dental Botox at a glance
Dental Botox is an in-office treatment that relaxes targeted facial and jaw muscles. Our Atlanta dental box procedure may be used to reduce clenching, grinding, jaw tension, and TMJ-related headaches or to soften fine lines. It’s personalized by Dr. Grace Gavric or Dr. Maria Tibavinsky and typically requires little to no downtime.
Who may be a good candidate for dental Botox?
You may be a candidate if you experience:
-
Jaw soreness or fatigue - Frequent clenching or grinding
- TMJ-related tension headaches
- Facial muscle tightness
- Fine lines caused by repeated muscle movement
Botox is not right for everyone. Your doctor will review your symptoms, health history, medications, and treatment goals before making a recommendation.
Dental Botox vs. a mouthguard
A custom mouthguard protects your teeth from the damage caused by grinding. Botox works differently by relaxing the overactive muscles responsible for clenching.
Some patients benefit from one treatment, while others may need both as part of a broader TMJ care plan. Your doctor will recommend the option that best fits your symptoms and oral health.
Benefits of dental Botox
Dental Botox may help:
- Reduce jaw tension and fatigue
- Ease clenching-related headaches
- Limit overactivity in the chewing muscles
- Protect dental work from excessive pressure
- Soften fine lines without surgery
- Provide targeted treatment with minimal downtime
Results vary, and Botox does not correct every cause of TMJ pain or teeth grinding.
What happens after treatment?
You can usually return to your normal routine after your appointment. Mild tenderness, redness, or swelling near the injection sites may occur temporarily.
Your doctor will provide personalized aftercare instructions and explain when to expect results. Most patients notice gradual changes over the following days.
How much does dental Botox cost in Atlanta?
The cost of dental Botox depends on the treatment area, the number of injections needed, and whether the goal is therapeutic or cosmetic. After evaluating your symptoms and goals, the Gavric Dental Associates team will provide a clear estimate before treatment begins.
Insurance may help cover medically necessary treatment, but cosmetic Botox is generally not covered. Financing options are available through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Proceed Finance.

Frequently asked questions about dental botox
What does dental Botox treat?
Dental Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and related tension headaches, and can also soften fine lines for cosmetic patients. Your doctor will talk through which goals matter most to you before recommending treatment.
How does Botox help with TMJ pain and teeth grinding?
Botox relaxes the jaw muscles that tighten during clenching or grinding, easing the pressure that leads to jaw fatigue and headaches. It's often used alongside a custom mouthguard or bite adjustment as part of a broader TMJ treatment plan.
Is dental Botox safe?
Yes. Botox is a well-established treatment with a long safety record for both cosmetic and dental use. Your doctor will review your health history before treatment to confirm it's the right fit for you.
How long do Botox results last?
Results typically last several months before a follow-up treatment is needed to maintain them. Your doctor can help you plan a schedule that keeps jaw tension or fine lines from creeping back.
Will insurance cover my Atlanta dental Botox treatment?
Coverage depends on your plan and whether treatment is medically necessary, like TMJ relief, or cosmetic. The team at Gavric Dental Associates verifies your benefits before your visit so you know what to expect.
