Dental Botox Costs & Prices for Golders Green Patients

At our practice near Finchley Central we provide clear pricing with no hidden fees. This is a private cosmetic and therapeutic treatment, so it is not available on the NHS. For cosmetic anti wrinkle treatment the pricing starts at £220 for one area, at least £280 for two areas and from £340 for three areas. For the therapeutic treatment for bruxism or teeth grinding a jaw muscle treatment starts from £380. This amount covers the initial consultation, the Botulinum Toxin product and the treatment itself. We accept different payment methods and can discuss options during your visit. We also accept private dental insurance from Max Bupa, Denplan and Cigna, but coverage depends on the policy you hold.

You could be a good candidate if you have medical symptoms or want cosmetic improvements related to your smile. Many patients from Golders Green come to us for two main reasons. The first is relief from conditions like bruxism or teeth grinding and jaw clenching, which can cause headaches, jaw ache and excessive wear on teeth. Relaxing the jaw muscles can reduce these symptoms. The second reason is cosmetic. If you are unhappy with dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines or crow's feet, these injections can soften their appearance and support a confident smile.

The process is straightforward and efficient. You begin with a 30 minute consultation to discuss goals, assess facial muscles and determine the right dosage. We explain the procedure and answer questions. The treatment itself is quick, about 10 to 15 minutes. We use a very fine needle to deliver small injections into the targeted muscles. Most people feel only a tiny pinprick and experience little discomfort. There is no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities right after your appointment at our Finchley practice.

First 24 to 48 hours after treatment you should follow a few simple guidelines. Do not rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours and avoid strenuous exercise, saunas or lying flat for the first 4 to 6 hours to let the product settle. You may notice tiny red bumps at the injection sites that usually fade within an hour. Results do not appear immediately. They begin after about 3 to 5 days and reach their full effect around day 10 to 14. The muscle relaxing effects typically last 3 to 4 months, after which you can schedule a follow up to maintain results. If you notice eyelid drooping or muscle weakness away from the treatment area or signs of an allergic reaction, contact the practice during office hours. For emergencies outside those hours go to A and E or call 111.

A common alternative is a custom occlusal splint or night guard. This durable appliance is worn at night to protect teeth from grinding forces. It does not stop muscle activity but it prevents damage to teeth and can reduce jaw strain. It is a solid long term option but does not address the underlying muscle overactivity.

Dermal fillers are another option. Botox relaxes muscles to stop wrinkles from forming, while fillers add volume to smooth existing lines that are present even when the face is at rest. They are often used for areas such as the smile lines around the mouth and can be used in combination with Botox for a more complete result.

To choose what fits you best ask a few key questions whether you meet with us or another clinic in the Golders Green area. Inquire about the practitioner's qualifications and experience with facial aesthetic treatments, the brand of toxin used and why it is chosen, the estimated units and total cost, the most common side effects, before and after photos from previous patients, and the plan for follow up and maintaining results.
