Dr. Mila Poznyak combines her specialized training in temporomandibular disorder therapy with Botox administration and Botox and Dermal Filler GA Board Approved Certification Course to provide comprehensive treatment for both medical and cosmetic concerns. Her advanced education through the Dr. Stephen Phelan’s Dental Seminar on “Temporomandibular disorders” (TMD) Academy enables her to address complex TMD cases using multiple treatment modalities rather than relying on single-solution approaches.
Unlike practices that offer Botox purely for cosmetic purposes, our medical approach focuses primarily on therapeutic applications that relieve pain and improve jaw function while also providing aesthetic benefits. This dual-purpose treatment philosophy ensures you receive maximum value from your Botox therapy.
Our comprehensive evaluation process identifies the underlying causes of your symptoms, allowing us to develop personalized treatment plans that address root issues rather than simply masking pain or discomfort through temporary measures.
Botox injections directly target overactive jaw muscles responsible for TMJ pain, teeth grinding, and jaw clenching. By relaxing these muscles, Botox provides significant relief from chronic jaw pain, headaches, and facial tension that traditional treatments often fail to address effectively.
Medical Botox therapy offers effective relief without invasive surgical procedures or lengthy recovery periods. Most patients experience significant improvement within days of treatment, with results lasting several months before retreatment becomes necessary for continued relief.
Our Botox therapy integrates with other TMD treatments including custom night guards and therapeutic exercises for optimal results. This multi-modal approach addresses various aspects of temporomandibular disorders for more complete and lasting symptom relief.
Comprehensive TMD Evaluation
Your treatment begins with thorough assessment of your jaw function, muscle tension, and pain patterns. Dr. Mila Poznyak examines your bite, jaw movement, and identifies specific muscle groups contributing to your symptoms for targeted treatment planning.
Treatment Planning
Based on your evaluation, we develop a personalized Botox treatment plan that may include multiple injection sites and coordinated therapy with other TMD treatments. This comprehensive approach ensures optimal results while minimizing the number of treatments needed.
Precise Injection Technique
Using advanced anatomical knowledge and injection techniques, Dr. Mila Poznyak administers Botox with exceptional precision to target specific muscle groups. Her medical training ensures safe, effective treatment with minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Immediate Care Instructions
Following treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results and minimize any temporary side effects. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately with only minor precautions for the first 24 hours.
Follow-up Assessment
We monitor your progress and symptom improvement over the following weeks, adjusting future treatments as needed. This ongoing evaluation ensures optimal results and allows us to refine your treatment plan for maximum effectiveness.
Jaw Muscle Tension: Botox effectively relaxes masseter and temporalis muscles that contribute to jaw pain, facial tension, and TMJ disorders. This targeted muscle relaxation provides significant relief from chronic pain while improving jaw function and range of motion.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Nighttime teeth grinding and clenching can be dramatically reduced through strategic Botox injections that relax jaw muscles. This treatment protects your teeth from damage while reducing associated headaches and jaw pain.
Chronic Headaches: TMJ-related headaches often respond well to Botox therapy targeting jaw and facial muscles. By addressing muscle tension at its source, many patients experience significant reduction in headache frequency and intensity.
Facial Pain: Chronic facial pain associated with TMD can be effectively managed through targeted Botox injections combined with other therapeutic approaches for comprehensive symptom relief.
Botox injections in enlarged masseter muscles can create a more contoured facial appearance while simultaneously addressing TMJ symptoms. This dual benefit appeals to patients seeking both medical relief and aesthetic enhancement.
Strategic Botox placement can address facial wrinkles and expression lines while providing therapeutic benefits for TMJ disorders. This comprehensive approach maximizes the value of your treatment investment.
Botox can reduce excessive gum display during smiling, creating more balanced facial proportions. This cosmetic enhancement often complements other dental treatments for complete smile transformation.
Dr. Mila Poznyak’s comprehensive TMD treatment philosophy recognizes that effective management often requires multiple therapeutic approaches. Botox therapy integrates seamlessly with custom night guards, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle modifications for optimal results.
Rather than offering Botox as a standalone treatment, our approach considers how neuromuscular therapy fits into your complete oral health picture. This integration ensures treatments work synergistically rather than in isolation for maximum effectiveness and lasting relief.
Our TMD expertise enables us to identify patients who will benefit most from Botox therapy while recognizing when other treatments may be more appropriate for specific symptoms or conditions.

Yes, when administered by qualified medical professionals like Dr. Mila Poznyak, Botox is very safe for TMJ treatment. Her specialized training and understanding of facial anatomy ensure precise, effective treatment with minimal risk of complications.
Medical Botox for TMJ targets specific muscle groups responsible for jaw dysfunction and pain, while cosmetic Botox focuses on wrinkle reduction. Dr. Mila Poznyak’s approach often provides both therapeutic and aesthetic benefits through strategic injection placement.
When properly administered, therapeutic Botox should not significantly impact chewing or speaking function. Dr. Mila Poznyak’s precise injection technique targets overactive muscles while preserving normal jaw function for daily activities.
Botox and night guards often work well together for comprehensive bruxism management. While Botox reduces muscle activity, night guards protect teeth from damage. Dr. Mila Poznyak can recommend the best combination approach for your specific needs.
