Botox is a quick, non-surgical treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles behind certain facial wrinkles, softening forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet for a refreshed, natural look. At Dentistry at Millennium Park, it's administered by trained professionals with deep knowledge of facial anatomy, right here in Chicago's Loop. Results last about three to four months.
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the small muscles responsible for certain facial expressions. When those muscles ease, the lines they create, like the creases across your forehead or the lines between your brows, soften and smooth. The result is a refreshed, rested look that still moves and feels like you.
It's most often used to treat dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form from repeated movements such as frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows. Common areas include forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
You might be surprised that a dental practice offers Botox, but it makes a lot of sense. Dentists have extensive training in the muscles and anatomy of the face, which is exactly the expertise that helps deliver precise, natural-looking results.

Beyond cosmetic treatment, we also offer Botox therapeutically to ease TMD (temporomandibular disorder) and the jaw tension that comes from chronic clenching and grinding. When the jaw muscles are overworked, they can cause soreness, headaches, and added wear on your teeth.
By placing small amounts of Botox into those overactive muscles, we help them relax. For many people, that means less clenching force, less jaw soreness and tension, and relief from related discomfort. We may use it on its own or alongside other TMD care, such as a custom nightguard.
Botox is a cosmetic treatment, so it isn't covered by dental or medical insurance. The cost depends on the areas treated and the amount used, and we'll give you a clear, personalized quote at your consultation, no surprises.
To make treatment easy to budget for, we offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry. We'll walk you through your options.
Botox is a safe, popular treatment with a long track record, but a few things are good to know. Results are temporary, lasting about three to four months, so maintaining them means repeat treatments. Minor, temporary effects like slight redness, tenderness, or a small bruise at the injection site are possible. Botox softens dynamic wrinkles caused by movement; it doesn't address loose skin or volume loss.
To be clear about what we offer: we provide Botox, and we do not offer dermal fillers or lip injections. If your goals would be better met by something we don't provide, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
Few professionals understand the muscles and structure of the face as thoroughly as dentists do, and that expertise is exactly what makes for precise, natural-looking Botox. We take a careful, conservative approach focused on results that look like a refreshed version of you, never overdone.
As a proudly woman-owned, all-female practice in the heart of the Loop, led by a woman of color, we pair modern care with genuine, personal attention, in a comfortable setting you already trust with your smile.

Yes. Along with cosmetic treatment, we offer Botox therapeutically for TMD. Small injections help relax overactive jaw muscles, which can ease clenching, reduce jaw soreness and tension, and protect your teeth from grinding. We may use it on its own or with other care like a custom nightguard. See our TMJ/TMD treatment page to learn more.
