Dermal Fillers

Why Patients Request Dermal Fillers

You, as the dental practitioner, are the authority on facial beauty and can deliver painless therapy because of your unique knowledge of local anesthesia.

Dermal rejuvenation is a natural adjunct to cosmetic dental procedures. Many patients may initially seek to reverse the aging process on the lower face by improving the oral esthetics with the implementation of cosmetic dentistry; i.e., whitening teeth, crowns, veneers, replacing missing teeth, and/or straightening teeth. This process can be further enhanced by the use of dermal fillers. The reverse could also be the case; the patient could initially seek the use of dermal fillers, and then choose the benefits of cosmetic dentistry procedures.

Most patients seek dermal rejuvenation for the following concerns:

1. Achieve a more youthful, rested appearance.
2. Enhance a beautiful smile.
3. Get rid of wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.
4. Return the lips to their youthful appearance.
5. Lift the corners of the mouth.
6. Enhance and sculpt the contour of the lips.
7. Achieve fuller lips.
8. Erase the dreaded “bleeding-lipstick” look.

Dermal rejuvenation has been proven safe and effective. Restylane® has been approved by the FDA as a dermal filler to treat wrinkles, folds, and enhancements. There have been over a million and a half treatments of patients worldwide.

How Non-Animal Based Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) Dermal Fillers (RESTYLANE®) Work

Dermal fillers restore volume and fullness to skin. They work to smooth lines, eliminate wrinkles and enhance or sculpt lips. By injecting directly into the dermis your patient’s youthful and natural facial contours are easily restored with results lasting from 6 to 12 months before touch ups are required.

NASHA is the dermal filler of choice because it already exists in the human body and it binds with the water in the dermis to create volume. NASHA is nonallergenic and has been used safely by dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide since 1996. Since NASHA is non-animal based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. NASHA Dermal Fillers are safe and predictable.

Restylane® is a safe and natural dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Treatment takes from 20 minutes to 1 hour and is painless.
