Looking for facial aesthetics in Colchester
Here at The Dental Studio, we understand that a person’s appearance can have a dramatic impact on their self-confidence, so we offer a wide choice of treatments to help make them feel at their absolute best. As well as a range of dental treatments, we also offer facial aesthetics in Colchester. These allow our patients to turn back the clock a little so that they can rediscover their youthful and vibrant selves. Here, we explain what is on offer and how each treatment works.
Anti-wrinkle injections 
One of the most popular choices for facial aesthetics in Colchester, our anti-wrinkle injections are designed to combat the signs of ageing that occur from facial movement over time. Sun exposure and lifestyle choices can also result in increased lines and wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes and mouth.
The injections smooth out lines on the face by causing the muscles underneath to relax, and they give great results. As well as being used for anti-ageing purposes, these injections can also be employed in those patients who suffer from a high degree of sweating that cannot be controlled by ordinary deodorants. They are very effective at eliminating this problem, which can be an excellent way of restoring confidence lost as a result of the condition.
The length of time for the treatment depends on how many areas the patient wants to be treated, but it is usually a matter of minutes for each area. This means that even people who lead very busy lifestyles will be able to benefit from the injections. There is no anaesthetic required so the patient can be in and out of the practice within a relatively short period of time. The results can last several months, and continued appointments at regular intervals are chosen by many of our patients so that they may maintain their youthful new look.
Treatment for bruxism
Bruxism is the term for grinding the teeth. People usually do this at night when they are asleep, so often have no memory of it occurring. The symptoms to look out for are having a headache and sore jaw on waking, and a person might notice that their teeth have been worn down a little or even damaged by continuous grinding. It is important to resolve this issue as it can affect oral health as well as causing a person to be in pain or feel unwell.
There are two main ways that we can help to treat bruxism. Patients can be fitted with a special mouth guard to be worn at night. This helps to prevent them from grinding their teeth. Alternatively, anti-wrinkle injections into the jaw can reduce or stop bruxism. They do this by relaxing the area and basically ‘unclenching’ the muscles. This treatment has helped a lot of our patients with teeth grinding, and the effects generally last for several months.
Other options
We offer a variety of other facial aesthetics in Colchester. These include neck lifts and facial fillers under the eyes, into the cheeks and for the hands and neck. We like to tailor our treatments to individual patients, so it is worth making an appointment to discuss the best options for gaining a more youthful appearance and feeling more confident.
