What Makes Us Different
BEYOND AESTHETICS: PIONEERING TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
At Smile in Style, we go beyond traditional dental aesthetics to offer comprehensive care for your oral and facial health. What truly sets us apart is our expertise in trigger point injections - a niche service rarely found in dental practices. While many offices provide Botox and fillers for cosmetic purposes, we take it a step further by offering trigger point therapy as a therapeutic treatment. This advanced technique targets chronic pain and muscle tension, addressing issues like TMJ disorders, headaches, and facial pain that can significantly impact your quality of life. Our unique combination of Lidocaine, Botox, and PDO threads in these injections not only provides immediate relief but also promotes long-term healing. By integrating this therapeutic approach with our cosmetic and dental services, we offer a holistic solution for both your comfort and confidence. At Smile in Style, we're not just enhancing your smile - we're improving your overall well-being.
HOW TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS WORK
Trigger Point Injections are used to soothe tense muscle fibers or commonly known as "knots." These knots are caused by acute or repetitive microtrauma, leading to stress on your muscles. They can often times lead to tension headaches. We use trigger point therapy at our office to relieve neck and shoulder knots, especially ones that are stubborn and cannot be improved by deep tissue massages or other therapies.
How Botox Injections Work
At Smile in Style, we use Botox to help you look and feel your best. This remarkable treatment works by relaxing specific muscles in your face, smoothing out wrinkles and even easing pain from dental issues like teeth grinding. When we inject Botox, it blocks signals from nerves to these muscles, giving you a more relaxed and youthful appearance. You'll start seeing results within two weeks, and the effects typically last for several months, letting you enjoy a refreshed look and improved comfort.
How Filler Injections Work
Our filler treatments at Smile in Style offer a fantastic way to enhance your facial features and restore a youthful fullness. When we inject these gel-like substances beneath your skin, they immediately add volume, smoothing out lines and plumping areas that have lost their youthful bounce. Most of our fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your body, making them safe and effective. The results are instant and can last anywhere from six months to over a year, giving you a natural, rejuvenated look that complements your beautiful smile.

What do I do in a Dental Emergency?
Control Swelling & Pain
You can temporarily lessen any pain or swelling you might be experiencing using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. But, avoid aspirin and similar blood-thinning medicines, as they could hamper clot formation and make it harder to halt bleeding. Besides medication, a cold compress can also offer pain relief. Apply an ice pack to the cheek or lip near the affected area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’ve knocked out a tooth?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
If you've accidentally knocked out a tooth, it's important to act quickly to increase the chances of saving it. First, carefully pick up the tooth by the top (crown) and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with warm water to remove any debris, being careful not to scrub or rub it. If possible, try to place the tooth back into its socket without forcing it. If it doesn't go back in easily, store it in a container of cold milk and contact us immediately for guidance and to ensure we are prepared for your visit. Time is of the essence, as the tooth needs to be replaced and splinted within 1-2 hours to avoid further damage.
What should I do if my dental work has fallen out?
If any of your dental work, such as a filling or crown, has fallen out, it's important to take action promptly. Place the dental work in a plastic bag or container and bring it with you to our office. Call us right away to schedule an emergency visit so we can address the issue as soon as possible. Even though it's not a natural tooth, losing dental work can expose vulnerable parts of your mouth to bacteria, leading to infection, decay, or other complications. Don't delay in getting in touch with us to ensure your smile is restored with restorative dental work.
What should I do about a severe toothache?
If you're experiencing a severe toothache that lasts for 2 or more days, it could indicate a tooth infection, which requires immediate attention. Contact us without delay to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, you can manage the pain by applying a cold compress to your cheek, taking over-the-counter pain medication, or using a topical product like Orajel to numb the tooth. However, it's crucial to seek professional dental care to address the underlying cause of the toothache and prevent further complications. Root canal therapy may be necessary to save the tooth.
What should I do about a chipped, broken or cracked tooth?
If you have a chipped, broken, or cracked tooth, it's essential to seek professional dental care as soon as possible. Without a thorough examination, it's difficult to determine the severity of the damage. Leaving such issues untreated can lead to infections and additional complications that could have been prevented. Contact us immediately to schedule an appointment and allow us to assess the extent of the damage. We will provide guidance and recommendations on how to restore and protect your smile, as well as alleviate any dental pain you may be experiencing.
What should I do about a loose tooth?
If you have a loose tooth due to a dental injury, it's crucial to contact us right away to schedule a same-day appointment. Leaving a loose tooth untreated can result in the nerves supporting the tooth dying, leading to its loss. To maintain stability, avoid touching the loose tooth with your tongue or fingers. When you arrive at our office for emergency care, your dentist will attach the loose tooth to the adjacent teeth with a stabilizing splint. This splint will provide support and initiate the healing process, allowing the tooth to reattach itself to your gums. Don't hesitate to reach out for our help – we are here to assist you in preserving your tooth.
