Botox & TMJ Therapy in Langley, BC
Therapeutic and aesthetic Botox treatments administered by our trained dental team — providing relief from jaw pain, bruxism, headaches, and more.
Botox at Astra Dental Centre, Langley
At Astra Dental Centre in Langley, BC, we offer both therapeutic and aesthetic Botox treatments administered by our trained dental team. Dental professionals are uniquely qualified to provide Botox — we have advanced knowledge of facial anatomy, muscle function, and the jaw structures that make Botox treatments both safe and highly effective.
Therapeutic Botox is used to treat jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), TMJ disorders, chronic headaches related to muscle tension, and gummy smiles. Cosmetic Botox smooths facial lines around the mouth, forehead, and eyes — a natural complement to your dental treatment. Our approach is conservative, precise, and focused on results that look and feel completely natural.
What We Treat with Botox
TMJ & Jaw Pain Relief
Botox injected into the masseter (jaw) muscle reduces clenching force and relieves TMJ pain. Most patients feel results within 1–2 weeks, lasting 3–6 months.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) Treatment
Reducing masseter muscle activity with Botox protects your teeth from the grinding forces that cause wear, fractures, and enamel damage — especially at night.
Chronic Tension Headache Relief
Overactive jaw and facial muscles are a common cause of tension-type headaches. Botox relaxes these muscles, providing lasting headache relief for many patients.
Gummy Smile Correction
A small, precise injection into the upper lip muscle reduces how much gum shows when you smile — a natural, balanced result with no surgery required.
Cosmetic Facial Lines
Smooth crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles with aesthetic Botox administered by your dental team who understands your facial anatomy.
TMJ Treatment is Also Part of Our Orthodontics Services
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can also be addressed through our Orthodontics services, which include bite guard therapy and orthodontic approaches to jaw alignment. Many patients benefit from a combined approach using both Botox and orthodontic care.

Botox & TMJ Therapy FAQ
Yes. Dentists are among the most qualified professionals to administer Botox due to their extensive training in facial anatomy and injection techniques. At Astra Dental Centre, Botox is administered by our trained dental team in a clinical, sterile setting.
Therapeutic Botox for TMJ and bruxism typically lasts 3–6 months. Many patients find that repeated treatments help retrain jaw muscles over time, leading to progressively longer-lasting relief.
Botox injections involve a very fine needle and are generally well tolerated. Most patients describe only a brief pinch sensation. Topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to maximize comfort.
The number of units varies depending on the size of the masseter muscle and the severity of symptoms. Your provider will assess your specific needs during a consultation and recommend an appropriate dose.
Botox and night guards serve complementary roles. Botox reduces the force of muscle contractions at the source, while a night guard protects the tooth surfaces from wear. Many patients benefit from both.
Therapeutic Botox targets overactive jaw and facial muscles to relieve pain and dysfunction. Cosmetic Botox softens expression lines and wrinkles. Both use the same product but injected at different sites and doses for different goals.
Most patients begin to notice reduced jaw tension and pain within 1–2 weeks. Full effects from both therapeutic and cosmetic Botox are typically seen at the 2-week mark.
Dentists have specialized training in orofacial anatomy, nerve distribution, and muscle function that most cosmetic providers do not. This makes dental professionals uniquely suited for jaw, TMJ, and perioral Botox treatments.
