How Much Does Botox Cost in Midtown NYC?

Many patients are surprised to learn that they can get Botox injections from their dentist, but dentists have a thorough understanding of facial musculature and nerves thanks to their education on the oral maxillofacial areas. This means that they’re among the best qualified professionals to offer this procedure. If you’re looking for a provider of Botox in Midtown NYC, here’s what you should know about the costs and processes involved.

One of the ways we use Botox at Midtown Dental Care Associates is to relieve temporomandibular joint pain. Botox injections help with facial pain, jaw tension, angular cheilitis, muscle spasms, teeth clenching, and teeth grinding. These injections also alleviate tension headaches, which are often associated with TMJ disorder.

TMJ disorder usually originates in the muscles, ligaments, and nerves that support the proper alignment and movement of the temporomandibular joints. Targeted Botox injections are a safe, effective treatment that eases the tension in these muscles, relieving chronic pain and headaches. You’ll notice improvement in as little as one-to-two days after treatment, with results lasting up to four months. Botox injections for TMJ disorder also have the benefit of softening the appearance of the jaw for an improved facial profile.

The cost of Botox injections for TMJ disorder range from $500 to $1,000 per session, depending on the area needed to receive the Botox.

We also provide Botox injections for aesthetic purposes. Dr. John Stanescu has received advanced training in facial aesthetics, giving him the ability to administer Botox injections that target a number of common complaints, from frown lines to crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. 

One popular treatment that we offer is Botox for people whose gums show a little too much when they smile. Rather than requiring an invasive periodontal procedure that cuts away excess gum tissue, using Botox allows us to create the smile you’re after with minimally-invasive injections to reduce the lifting of the upper lip when you smile. These painless treatments take under five minutes to complete, with results lasting up to four months.

The cost of Botox for facial aesthetics varies depending upon the type of treatment you need and the number of units required for your treatment. Treatments start at $500 and may go up to $1,000 for procedures that require a number of injections.

Whether you’re considering Botox to relieve TMJ symptoms or for facial aesthetic reasons, we recommend coming to our office for a consultation first. During this meeting, Dr. Stanescu will discuss your treatment goals with you, answer any questions you might have, and provide you with an estimate based on the number of injections needed. With his advanced training and extensive knowledge of head and neck anatomy, you can feel confident knowing that you’re getting a treatment plan that will provide you with optimal results.
