Here at Smile Galleria, we’ve found that many of our clients have enjoyed having facial aesthetics procedures after completing a course of cosmetic dental treatment. In many cases, if you have invested the time and the effort in boosting your smile with the help of cosmetic dentistry, dermal fillers and botulinum type A toxin treatment can be the ultimate complementary procedures to leave you looking and feeling up to ten years younger

The benefits of treatment with dermal fillers

For many years, people who wanted to reverse or slow down the signs of ageing – wrinkles, lines, hollows, folds and such like on the facial skin – had only one option, and that was plastic surgery. Expensive, daunting, and requiring time off from work or socialising to recover, this was not the ideal treatment for everybody.

A cosmetic dentist is an excellent candidate for delivering facial aesthetics treatment, because they have good knowledge of facial structure, and can deliver the right amount of treatment in the right area to create results that, whilst noticeable by friends and family, are also subtle and entirely natural in appearance

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite. Fillers are used to create additional volume in the face to fill out wrinkles. Dermal fillers naturally stimulate collagen production in areas that have lost elasticity, creating younger, firmer looking skin. Dentists can also use dermal fillers to augment the lips in cases of high lip lines or to correct uneven lips.
