Botox & Dermal Fillers in Orlando, FL
Rejuvenate Your Smile & Face
Whether you’re hoping to ease TMJ-related discomfort or refresh areas like the forehead, lips, or cheeks, every treatment plan starts with a real conversation: what’s bothering you, what you’ve tried before, and what kind of change you’re hoping to see.
What are Botox & Dermal Fillers?
Botox and dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that can be used for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. From TMJ pain relief to minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Illume Dental Studio is your home for facial aesthetic treatments in Baldwin Park.
Key Differences
Botox smooths movement-related wrinkles like forehead lines and crow’s feet. It starts working in a few days, with results typically lasting 3 to 4 months for most people.
Dermal fillers add volume to areas like the lips, cheeks, and under-eyes. Results are visible right away. Longevity depends on where it's placed and the type of filler -- some last 6 months, while others (like those used in the cheeks or jawline) can last up to 18 months or more.
How Botox & Dermal Fillers Work
What can Botox & Fillers be used for?
Reducing Facial Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Paired together, Botox and dermal fillers help address the source and severity of issues like creasing in your skin, deep wrinkles, and fine lines. Dr. Do can apply cosmetic medications throughout the face, including around your eyes, forehead, and jawline.
Restoring Lost Volume
It’s normal to lose some of the volume in our lips and cheeks as we age, especially if we’ve experienced tooth loss. This can also lead to creases in the skin. Injectable cosmetic fillers help smooth out and restore volume to your face, for a more youthful appearance.
Gummy Smiles
An overactive upper lip muscle can cause your lip to retract a bit higher than normal, creating the appearance of a gummy smile. By applying Botox at key points just under the lip, we can relax the muscle so that the lip drops lower in line with your teeth for improved aesthetics.
Myofascial Pain Management
Botox is a natural muscle relaxer. When administered by a skilled dentist, Botox is effective for managing muscle tension, joint pain, and headaches caused by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD/TMJD) and excessive bruxism.

Not really. Most people return to normal activities right away. You’ll want to avoid rubbing the area, intense workouts, or lying down for a few hours after Botox. Swelling or tenderness from fillers may last a day or two.
Depending on the cause behind your TMJ disorder (TMD), then yes, Botox can help treat and prevent symptoms such as pain and headaches. Especially if they are caused by muscle tension or teeth grinding and clenching.
Botox is injected into the masseter or other jaw muscles to relax them, which can reduce clenching, tension headaches, and facial soreness. Many patients say they notice a major difference after just one or two treatments.
A gummy smile shows more gum tissue than you'd like when you smile. A small dose of Botox near the upper lip can lower its resting position slightly, revealing more teeth and less gum.
