Okay, so you’ve spent thousands with a dentist in the city of London to get your teeth looking like you did when you younger and the bet is, they look fantastic. However, that has probably highlighted the lips that look a bit like a sparrow’s foot. You can see why dentists hopped on the botox bandwagon- from the teeth it’s a natural progression to the lips. And let’s face it, considering it doesn’t take long to administer botox injection and the fact that a dentist already has the injections to do the job, who can doubt the reasoning- you’re already in the chair! Botox, for all its bad press is perfect for turning back the years; it’s a perfectly safe toxin that once injected, inflates the skin and removes wrinkles that come with age. Generally it only takes around a quarter of an hour to do, is pretty painless and one treatment will set you back around £100. Now that’s not bad for shaving 20 years off your life! But, and there is one, the only problem is that the body will breakdown botox and so you will have to return to the chair again every few months for a top up.

The beauty of Botox in the City of London
September 26th, 2011City of London dentists improve patients’ smiles with botox
June 23rd, 2011
In recognition of the marvellous facilities that many dental surgeries have and the adaptability and professionalism of the staff, dentists are broadening the services that they are offering. In many surgeries you can now have cosmetic procedures carried out as well as the usual root canal treatments and tartar removal. This makes sense, given that the cosmetic dentistry branch of dentistry is primarily concerned with improving the looks of patients anyway.
In a number of surgeries in the United Kingdom, patients can now get an injection of botox to improve the look of their smile. Botox is a chemical that can be injected into muscles to paralyse them and stop wrinkles from coming about. It is a perfectly safe substance to have in the body because it will naturally break down and leave the body in the usual fashion.
The procedure of having a botox injection will probably last around one hour and twenty minutes and can cost less than one hundred pounds. It is worth thinking about if you are worried about the look of your smile and feel that your confidence is suffering from wrinkles around your mouth. Patients sometimes report that they feel a little nauseous after the injection but the effects are immediate in terms of firming up your smile.
Next time you are talking to your City of London dentist, ask them about which cosmetic procedures they offer. More than four million people have botox injections in the United States of America every year and the numbers are increasing in the United Kingdom. Why not give it a go and see what it can do for the look of your smile?
Smiling and Botox in the City of London
April 24th, 2011
On first consideration, you may find yourself wondering what on earth botox has got to do with dentistry, but as you delve deeper it all makes perfect sense. Not content with meddling, fixing and making you look beautiful in the mouth, those canny old dentists in the city of London have moved onto the area around the mouth. And the reason why can be summed up in one word- injections. When dentists inject your gums prior to treatment, they use a specially designed needle that will administer the anesthetic with pinpoint accuracy, for the best effect. Pretty much the same way botox is delivered into the skin, so it’s not surprising that dentists have spread the wings quite naturally to include botox treatments in their repertoire. As we get older, some of us may develop wrinkles around the lips, less flatteringly termed ‘crows feet’ (smokers particularly suffer from this). From a vanity angle, it seems only natural that after spending thousands on your teeth, you would want to beautify your lips too; after all, lips + teeth = smile! And it’s generally the first impression you get when you meet someone for the first time. Injecting botox takes around an hour to complete, but it reverses the wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles around them. There may be a little discomfort at first, but the affects are immediately sensational; and all this without getting out of the chair you had your teeth cleaned in! Don’t you just love going to your dentist now!
Botox in london w.1
November 15th, 2010
As the world chases the dream of eternal youth, there are so many options to choose from to keep us looking young and a rather fashionable choice right now is botox. Every city in the world is offering this clever non-surgical solution to old age and deep in the heart of London’s wealthy W.1, it’s as common as a trip to the dentist, which ironically is generally the place to get the treatment at the moment. Most cosmetically orientated dentists will offer botox and dermal fillers as an extension to regular cosmetic dental treatments so that not only the teeth look beautiful in the mouth, but also the face that houses it. And if you think about it, an injection of botox is done in exactly the same way as an anaesthetic is administered into the gums, with finite needles and pinpoint precision. Botox is an intense protein injection, intended to smooth out the wrinkles on the face, lines around the lips and to make the lips look fuller too. Treatment takes around 15 minutes and is a perfect addition just after any dental work has been completed- taking around a few days to settle and lasting up to 6 months. Prices start from around £200 per area, but consider busy people on the move; combine botox injections with CEREC treatments… that’s a new face and mouth in a long lunch hour!
Look younger and healthier with Botox from London W1 dentist
June 1st, 2010
Cosmetic treatments have come a long way in the last twenty years in terms of affordability and availability. Nowhere is this more evident than with Botox. Botox is a form of dermal filler that aims to firm and plump the skin reducing wrinkles and the other signs of aging. Botox is especially relevant to dentists and dentists who have recently had cosmetic dental treatment because the skin around the mouth frames the smile and could spoil the appearance of an otherwise brilliant and stunning smile.
Originally Botox was used solely by the very rich and wealthy because it was very expensive but over the last ten or so years it has been adopted and offered by more and more cosmetic dentists in the UK. This increase of supply has brought the price down to a more competitive level and allowed more people to benefit from the rejuvenating effect of Botox.
Botox works by preventing signals transmitting through facial tissues. It is these signals that cause tiny muscle movements that over time lead to the appearance of wrinkles. By temporarily blocking these signals, the wrinkle appears to disappear and the skin looks younger, smoother and firmer. There is no surgical procedure involved with Botox. It is injected using an ordinary syringe, into an area of skin that has been numbed with an anaesthetic gel. This means there is very little pain and discomfort other than a slight feeling of numbness
There is also very little risk involved if carried out by a trained London W1 dentist as Botox has been judged to be perfectly safe for use in the human body and breaks down naturally over the course of about four months.

Botox is a cosmetic procedure that is injected into the face to prevent muscle spasms that cause wrinkles. It is one of the most widely used cosmetic procedures in the world with nearly five million treatments being used in the US alone last year.
Botox is short for Botulinium Toxin A and when injected it effectively paralyses facial muscles which cause wrinkles. It has been declared perfectly safe for use in the body and is naturally broken down leaving no trace after a matter of months. It is a great product to use for people who are worried about the appearance of wrinkles and lines around the mouth, eyes and brow especially. It can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by as much as eighty per cent.
The treatment takes up to about 80 minutes and is performed in the dentist’s surgery. The dentist will determine the amount necessary for each individual patient before injecting it in several different places around the designated area.
The effects of Botox are noticeable immediately in most cases. Although there are some side effects these are generally mild, including slight nausea and redness at injection points. Your City of London dentist will be able to give you more information but it is generally a very safe procedure.
Botox is especially useful for patients who have had some cosmetic dentistry work performed to improve the appearance of their teeth. Wrinkles around the mouth can spoil the framing look of a great smile and a Botox treatment may be able to give you the overall perfect smile you have always wanted. The cost of Botox varies on the amount used and each individual patient but you should expect to pay somewhere in the region of £75 to £250 per individual treatment.
Frame your smile with Botox from city of London dentist
March 18th, 2010
Every great picture needs a great frame and the same is true for a great smile. With the improvements in dental technology over the last twenty years, the possibilities for improving the appearance of teeth for patients of all ages has increased almost beyond belief. It is now possible to reverse even the most severe damage and cosmetic dentists can produce stunning results. For many patients who have undergone cosmetic dentistry treatment to improve their appearance they also might consider improving the appearance of the skin around the mouth.
Dermal fillers such as Botox can make skin appear firmer and younger completing the smile makeover transformation and taking years off the appearance of the patient. Botox has existed for many years but in the last decade it has really become more accepted as another normal beauty treatment. As it has become more widely available it has also become more affordable.
Botos works by blocking the signals that are transmitted through facial muscles. It is these transmissions that cause the muscles to spasm and create creases we know as wrinkles. By interrupting this movement the appearance of wrinkles is reduced and the skin looks younger and firmer.
Botox involves no surgical cutting of the skin and can be achieved with a few injections. City of London dentists will apply an anaesthetic gel to the area prior to treatment to make the treatment as painless as possible. The treatment involves very little risk of carried out by a trained dentist and will last up to four months before it needs topping up.

Botox is a bacterial toxin, safe for use in the human body, injected into the facial muscles to plump and firm, remove wrinkles and make you look younger. Once associated solely with Hollywood celebrities, the use of Botox has become more widespread as it has become more affordable and a treatment now is little more unusual than a nail appointment.
Botox is a type of dermal filler that improves the appearance of skin by using the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid to firm the lines caused by muscle movement in the face. It does this by blocking signals that are usually transferred between the muscles, thereby reducing their activity.
Results can usually be seen one or two days after the treatment, but improvements in the skin will continue for up to a month after treatment. In most cases results will remain for about four months before requiring a top-up. The treatment is relatively painless and only involves a few small injections. These can be made even less uncomfortable by using an anaesthetic gel on the area to be injected. Some inflammation of the area may occur after the treatment but this will usually subside relatively quickly.
More and more London W1 dentists are offering Botox as part of a wider smile makeover. After all, a beautiful smile needs a beautiful mouth to make it complete. The firm and healthy looking appearance of Botox is the perfect accompaniment for new dental work.
Reverse the aging process with dermal fillers from City of London dentist
November 21st, 2009
Dentists are increasingly offering small-scale cosmetic facial treatments as part of a wider smile makeover treatment. A smile makeover is a comprehensive restructuring of the smile to give more even and white teeth and an all round more attractive appearance. Just as every picture needs a frame, the smile needs a healthy and firm looking lips and facial tissue to complete the appearance.
Facial tissue wrinkles and sags over time as one of the inevitabilities of life. Even the most rigorous skincare regime can only delay the process. Dermal fillers, such as collagen and Botox can artificially reduce and even reverse the impact of aging on the skin. When injected into the facial muscles they interrupt the transmissions of nerve endings which cause movement in the muscles. It is this repeated movement that causes tissue to wrinkle and sag.
First used in the US about twenty years ago, dermal fillers are no longer the preserve of the rich and famous. The wider availability combined with a greater affordability means that dermal fillers are now considered a normal cosmetic treatment like a hair cut.
If applied by a professional, dermal fillers carry little or no risk and involve no surgical cutting of the skin beyond an injection. Because they mostly utilise substances that occur naturally in the body and have only temporary effects there is little risk of any long-term damage. The active ingredient hyaluronic acid is the substance that naturally makes skin look plump and healthy.
90 per cent of patients notice a visible improvement in their skin within 48 hours and treatments last up to four months before they need topping up. Make an appointment with a City of London dentist to find out more about dermal fillers and the benefits for your skin.

The injections are safe and simple and last for up to four months before the body breaks down the botox naturally. Patients usually return for top up treatments every four months

It is a painless procedure and patients usually start to see results after two to three days. 90 per cent of women who took part in clinical trials said they had noticed a marked improvement in appearance after only one treatment.
