When it comes to finding an injector for your tox or filler treatments, you’ve certainly got options. However, the outcome of your result is directly related to the level of skill and talent of the injector you select. This in and of itself is the determining factor of whether you will look gorgeous and refreshed…or just a little “off.” Think imbalanced facial features and uneven eyebrows “off” – yes it can be scary! Therefore, who you choose is of paramount importance, but why should you choose your dentist as your injector? Well, it turns out that there is no better option than a talented dentist-injector, such as our very own Dr. Edward Lorents, DDS. In this article, we are going to discuss why talented dentists make THE very best injectors!
Dentists Are Experts In Facial Anatomy
Unlike a nurse, physician assistant, dermatologist, or even a plastic surgeon who was educated in various non-related aspects of the human body, a dentist spends years exclusively studying the unique anatomy of the face. This includes ideal shapes and facial proportions, facial harmony and functioning, and the precise location of the face’s blood vessels, muscles, bones and nerves. While many injectors may need to rely on a special safety device to locate blood vessels prior to injecting, our dentist does not! Dentist-injectors are also intimately familiar with key facial structures, such as the lips, teeth, chin, nose and cheeks. Their in-depth knowledge means that they are experts at safely administering tox and filler injectables to create the most beautiful, balanced, and natural-looking results!
Dentists Are Experts In Sterilization
While some injectors work out of sub-par (even dingy) rooms, a dentist works in a highly-sterile dental office environment. Our treatment rooms are fully and thoroughly sanitized between each patient. Therefore, there is a significantly decreased risk of our patient experiencing infections or other complications from the injections.
Dentists Have Great Dexterity & An Eye For Detail
A talented, highly-skilled dentist is good with their hands and able to notice the smallest details and even the most minor changes with the teeth, mouth, and gums. This is important for detecting serious issues like oral cancer, but is equally essential for dental procedures such as root canals or the placement of crowns, implants, or veneers. As a result, your dentist has already developed great dexterity and a high-level of accuracy when treating the face. Their livelihood has required these skills, and they have trained their hands to be incredibly steady and precise when administering treatments, operating, or conducting various procedures. Since injecting muscle relaxers and dermal fillers both require great precision, they possess the very best training, knowledge and skillset for creating beautiful results with cosmetic facial injectables!
Dentists Can Offer Pain-Free Injections
A typical cosmetic injector will only apply numbing cream prior to injections. This requires an additional wait time, as the numbing cream takes time to kick in. Since most are pressed for time and have patients waiting, they will often times inject before the patient is fully numb. Numbing cream is also not very effective at relieving pain from some hyper-sensitive areas, such as the lips and mouth region. Most patients are brought to tears during these painful injection sessions. Fortunately, you won’t have to suffer when being treated by our dentist-injector! Dr. Lorents can administer local anesthetic prior to injections. Therefore, our patients feel great and experience no pain throughout the injection session! If you do not want to use anesthetic, that is completely doable as well. As a dentist, Dr. Lorents was trained at injecting a patient in a way that is virtually pain-free. Since he administers facial injections multiple times daily for dental procedures, his well-honed injection skills guarantee the most painless experience possible for our patient!
Dentists Can Provide Additional Treatments With Injections
While a typical cosmetic injector can only use muscle relaxer “tox” treatments and dermal filler for cosmetic purposes, a dentist-injector can use injectables to provide relief for numerous medical issues, including tension headaches, migraines, teeth grinding, teeth clenching, TMJ pain, orofacial pain, craniofacial pain, myofascial pain and dysfunction, neck and shoulder pain, and many other issues!
“When it comes to cosmetic injections, I have received advanced training and worked very hard to perfect my craft. Being a highly skilled dentist-injector is one of my favorite aspects of my profession. I get to help people gain a refreshed appearance, restore self-confidence, and live out their very best life. Be sure to ask us about packages for combining cosmetic injectables with dentistry treatments such as mouth makeovers or veneers!”
