At Regency Dental, our approach to care looks beyond just your teeth.
Because dentists spend years extensively studying the intricate muscle structures, nerves, and anatomy of the face and neck, we are uniquely qualified to offer safe, highly precise facial rejuvenation treatments. Located right here in Omaha, NE, our practice seamlessly blends clinical expertise with an eye for aesthetics. We believe that true comprehensive care means ensuring your beautiful smile and your facial features are in perfect harmony, all within a safe, trusted, and familiar environment.
Enhancing Facial Balance & Natural-Looking Aesthetics
We know that many patients want to refresh their appearance without ever looking overdone or “frozen.” Our goal is to provide subtle, natural-looking enhancements that highlight your best features and reflect how youthful you feel on the inside. By carefully administering treatments to specific areas, we can soften fine expression lines around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. This perfectly complements the restorative and cosmetic dentistry you have already invested in, beautifully framing your smile and boosting your overall confidence.
How Facial Injectables Can Support TMD Care
Facial injectables are not just about aesthetics; they are an incredibly powerful tool for your daily comfort and overall wellness. Temporomandibular Joint (TMD) dysfunction can cause debilitating jaw pain, chronic headaches, and severe tooth damage. We utilize specialized injectables for TMD to directly target the muscles responsible for this joint stress. By temporarily relaxing these hyperactive muscles, we can drastically reduce your pain, improve jaw function, and protect your teeth from the heavy, destructive forces of grinding.
Addressing Jaw Tension, Clenching, & Overworked Muscles
Chronic jaw clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism) often go unnoticed during the day but can wreak havoc while you sleep. Over time, overworked jaw muscles—particularly the masseter muscle—not only cause constant tension and morning headaches but can also physically alter the shape of your lower face, making it appear wider or more square. Targeted facial injectables relieve this constant muscle tension, providing you with profound physical relief while gently softening the jawline for a more relaxed, balanced facial profile.
Cosmetic Vs. Therapeutic Facial Rejuvenation
At our practice, we offer treatments that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, and we will always clearly explain your options without any pressure.
- Cosmetic rejuvenation: Focuses on softening expression lines, smoothing wrinkles, and creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance to frame your smile.
- Therapeutic rejuvenation: Focuses on relieving chronic facial pain, reducing intense jaw tension, and protecting your valuable dental restorations from grinding. Because we firmly believe that insurance limitations should never dictate your quality of life, we will openly discuss your specific needs and provide honest recommendations based on what will best support your long-term wellness.
Personalized Treatment Planning Based On Facial Anatomy
We never take a cookie-cutter approach to your health. Dr. Ellingson, Dr. Spanel, and Dr. Nelson take the dedicated time to evaluate your unique facial symmetry, muscle mass, and natural expressions. We look at the big picture of your oral and facial health to create a customized treatment plan. Whether you are seamlessly combining facial injectables with a full smile makeover or simply seeking relief from chronic jaw pain, your treatment in our Omaha, NE office is designed exclusively around your anatomy, your goals, and your comfort.
What To Expect During & After Treatment
We understand that you may have questions or slight anxiety about facial injections. Our promise is to always ensure you feel completely comfortable, safe, and fully informed before we begin.
- During the visit: The process is remarkably quick and gentle. We use ultra-fine instruments, and most patients report feeling nothing more than a minor, temporary pinch.
- The recovery: There is virtually no downtime. You can typically step right back into your normal daily activities immediately after your appointment.
- Seeing results: While therapeutic relief for jaw tension often begins within just a few days, full cosmetic and functional results beautifully settle in around the two-week mark.
