Botox in Dentistry – Warsaw
Dental Botox in Warsaw
Botox (botulinum toxin) in dentistry is a minimally invasive treatment that temporarily relaxes overactive facial muscles. It is used therapeutically in bruxism (injections into the masseter muscle), in temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), and in correcting a “gummy smile” or supporting denture adaptation. The effect typically lasts 4–6 months. At the Adent clinic in Mokotów, the treatment is performed by Dr. Agnieszka Barańska, with prices starting from 950 PLN.
What Dental Botox Is
Botox is a preparation based on botulinum toxin that locally and temporarily reduces the tension of the injected muscle by blocking nerve signal transmission. In dentistry, this effect is used therapeutically — to relax overworked chewing muscles — and aesthetically, in the lower part of the face. The treatment involves precise injections into selected muscle points and is minimally invasive, with no incisions.
Applications of Botox in Dentistry
Botulinum toxin is used both to treat muscle overload and for smile aesthetics.
Bruxism (masseter muscle)
Injections into the masseter reduce the force of clenching and grinding teeth, relieving strain on teeth and the joint.
Joint dysfunction (TMD)
Relaxing overactive muscles eases pain and tension in the temporomandibular joint.
Gummy smile
Correcting a “gummy smile” — relaxing the lip muscles reduces excessive gum visibility when smiling.
Denture adaptation and aesthetics
Helping muscles adapt to a new denture, and smoothing expression lines in the lower face.
How the Treatment Works — Step by Step
The treatment is short, and injections are barely noticeable thanks to a fine needle.
- Consultation and qualification
Assessment of indications, muscle tension, and a medical history to rule out contraindications.
- Planning injection points
Determining injection sites and the dose tailored to the treatment goal.
- Botulinum toxin injections
Precise administration of the preparation with a fine needle into selected muscles.
- Recommendations and follow-up
Post-treatment care instructions and evaluation of the effect at a follow-up visit.
Effect and Duration
The effect of Botox appears gradually, usually within several days to about two weeks after the treatment, and lasts on average 4–6 months. After this time the muscle regains full activity, so the treatment is repeated to maintain the result. In bruxism, Botox is sometimes combined with occlusal splint therapy.
Post-Treatment Recommendations
A few simple rules help achieve an even result.
- Avoid lying down and do not massage the injection sites for several hours.
- On the day of the treatment, avoid intense exercise, saunas, and tanning beds.
- Do not apply hot compresses to the treated area.
- Attend the follow-up visit to assess the effect as recommended.
Contraindications to Botox
Qualification is decided by the doctor after a medical history review — the treatment is not performed in cases including:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- neuromuscular diseases (e.g. myasthenia gravis),
- allergy to the preparation’s ingredients,
- active infection or inflammation at the injection site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Botox treatment hurt?
Injections are given with a very fine needle, so they are barely noticeable — patients describe them as a light pinch. If needed, the area can be numbed with a topical anesthetic beforehand.
How long does the effect of Botox last?
The effect lasts on average 4–6 months and appears gradually over several days to about two weeks. After this time, the treatment can be repeated to maintain the result.
Is dental Botox safe?
Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine for years. The treatment is performed by a trained physician after assessing indications and ruling out contraindications, with the dose tailored individually to the patient.
Bruxism — splint or Botox?
These methods complement each other. An occlusal splint protects teeth from wear during clenching, while Botox in the masseter reduces the muscle force itself. In severe bruxism, they are often used together.
Does the face look natural after Botox?
Yes, with a properly selected dose. In dentistry, the goal is to relax specific muscles (such as the masseter), not to “freeze” facial expression — the face keeps its natural look.
