Botox & Dermal Fillers: Turn Back the Clock on Aging
Dr. Amy has received extensive training in the application of both Botox and dermal fillers for a variety of cosmetic concerns. We offer Botox and Juvederm® for addressing fine lines, wrinkles and folds in the nose and mouth area. Dr. Amy will meet with you to assess your needs and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Botox Cosmetic is effective in reducing the appearance of lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and lines around the mouth. It can also effectively treat a “gummy smile.” Treatments generally last about 6 months, sometimes longer with successive treatments.
Juvederm® is one of the first FDA-approved dermal fillers that lasts up to a year. Also used for facial lines, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds, Juvederm has a “plumping” effect on treated areas, restoring lost volume to reduce the appearance of the signs of aging.
Juvederm creates gorgeous lip enhancements for those who feel they “have no lips” or fuller lips for those who just want a little more “wow”! As you can imagine, framing a beautiful smile with a beautiful lip is something Dr. Amy LOVES to do!
Facial Esthetics FAQs
What’s the best way to prolong my botox?
For the first 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, direct sun exposure, and tanning salons. This will help your skin get used to treatment without harmful external factors getting in the way.
How long do fillers like Botox last?
On average, Botox’s effects last about three to four months. To elongate the effects of treatment, you may need re-treatment during that time period.
Can a dentist provide Botox and Juvederm?
Yes! With certified training, most US states allow general dentists to perform both Botox® and dermal fillers in the oral and maxillofacial areas. Dr. Amy has undergone extensive training in Botox and Juvederm procedures and best practices.
How long does it take for Botox to work and see results?
On average, patients see the full effects of Botox after the first week. It may start to show as early as one day after treatment.
How do you make Botox last longer?
The best ways to make your Botox last longer are to avoid sun exposure and abrasive facial products. A healthy diet, with an increased intake of Zinc, may also promote Botox effects to last longer.
How long after dermal fillers can I exercise?
After dermal fillers, we recommend taking a brief break from strenuous exercise. Wait at least 24 to 48 hours before returning to an exercise routine.

“The Botox for my “gummy smile” has been life-changing! I wish I could\’ve had this done years ago! Not to mention, I now have a reason to look forward to going to the dentist!”
Angela
“This was my first experience with Juvederm. I had been unhappy with the size of my top lip for a very long time. I thought about having it done in the past but was extremely nervous about having someone touch my lips that did not know me and what I wanted exactly.
Once I found out that Dr. Amy was doing it, I was convinced it was the perfect time to do it. I have trusted her with my teeth/smile for over 10 years now, and with this being a service now offered, who else would I ever want to do this for me other than the person who looks at teeth, smiles, and lips every day!!
She made it a great experience for me, knowing I was still nervous since it was my first time. She and her staff told me everything that would happen from before they started up to what I should expect for the first two weeks. They were both exactly right!!!! I am nothing but PLEASED!!!! Will do it again in the future:) Thanks Dr Amy and Amanda-you guys changed my life on how I feel about my smile now.”
