Facial Aesthetics: Looking Beyond Enamel and Gingiva

Facial Aesthetics: Looking Beyond Enamel and Gingiva

Price range: $20.00 through $40.00

Description

The Doctor of Dental Medicine or Dental Surgery is not merely a barber surgeon. The dentist possesses an intimate knowledge of head and neck anatomy, disease processes and craniofacial conditions. We have surgical experience that surpasses many other health care professionals. Administration of neurotoxins and dermal fillers for aesthetic or therapeutic procedures of the head and neck is a natural extension of the dentist’s skill set. Facial aesthetics involves looking beyond the enamel and gingiva and addressing the tissues that frame a smile.
