When you feel great about how you look, you end up projecting that confidence outwards. Often, that makes others perceive you as more attractive, successful, and inviting. Do you wish you had that kind of confidence but feel burdened by wrinkles around your brow, your eyes, or around your mouth and nose?
Dr. Tim Brooks’ Oklahoma City dental office has two popular cosmetic solutions that can help—Botox and Juvéderm.
The first of these, Botox, is well known for its ability to soften lines frown lines and crow’s feet. It works by preventing the muscle contractions that cause lines to form and deepen in the first place. Treatment only takes about 10 minutes and yields fresh, youthful results that can last for up to four months.
With Juvéderm, patients can achieve similar results with parentheses lines—that is, lines that start near the bottom of the nose and curve around the mouth, forming what look like parentheses. The key difference between Botox and Juvéderm is that Juvéderm fills wrinkles instead of preventing muscle contractions. Using hyaluronic acid, it attracts water and volumizes, creating a softer, more youthful appearance that can last for as long as a full year.

Not much is more humiliating than trying (and inevitably failing) to hide bad breath. It’s unavoidable at times–after ingesting a hearty serving of garlic or onions, for example–but if you find that your breath repels friends and family despite avid brushing, mouthwashing, gum chewing, etc., we have a suggestion…
A beautiful smile lets the world know you’re ready to take on whatever life brings you. But the idea of spending years trying to achieve that perfect grin by walking around with a mouth full of metal isn’t appealing to most adults. Brackets cemented to the front of your teeth, tiny rubber bands in an assortment of colors, and metal wires barring the way to effective dental hygiene are more than just a pain in the mouth. They also immediately bring to mind the awkwardness of adolescence, and none of us want to relive those years.
