Aesthetic Services in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Fine lines, frown lines, forehead lines, or changes in facial volume can affect how you feel about your appearance. You may notice lines that stay visible when your face is relaxed, or areas that look less full than they once did. These changes are common as your skin and facial tissues change over time.
At Providence Dental, Dr. Londan Davis and our team take a calm, education-first approach to aesthetic treatments. Our Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, office offers Botox® and dermal fillers for appropriate adult patients who want to address certain facial concerns without surgery.
Aesthetic care should be personal. Your facial features, overall health, medical conditions, medications, and goals all matter. We take time to listen, explain realistic treatment results, and help you decide whether an aesthetic treatment fits your needs.
Botox® or Dermal Fillers: Which Is Right for You?
Botox and dermal fillers are often mentioned together, but they address different concerns.
- Botox®: Temporarily reduces selected muscle activity that contributes to movement-related lines, such as frown lines and forehead lines.
- Dermal Fillers: Add or restore volume in selected areas to address concerns such as volume loss and changes in facial contours.
Some patients benefit from one treatment, some from both, and some from neither. During your consultation, we look at what you want to change and explain which option, if any, makes sense for your goals.
Why Choose a Dental Office for Aesthetic Treatments?
Dentists work with the muscles, nerves, and structures of the face and mouth every day, and giving precise injections is a routine part of dental care. Dr. Davis brings that same attention to detail and understanding of facial anatomy to aesthetic treatment.
Because you already know our team, aesthetic care can feel more comfortable and familiar. We take the same unhurried, no-pressure approach we use for your dental care, so you can ask questions and make decisions at your own pace.
Who May Be a Candidate for Aesthetic Treatments?
You may consider aesthetic treatments if frown lines, forehead lines, facial wrinkles, or volume loss bother you and you want to explore a nonsurgical option. However, wanting a change does not automatically mean Botox or dermal fillers are appropriate.
Before treatment, we consider factors such as:
Your Goals
We want to know which specific feature or change concerns you.
Your Health
Certain medical conditions may affect whether treatment is appropriate.
Your Medications
Tell us about prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and supplements you use.
Your Treatment History
Previous Botox, dermal fillers, or other aesthetic procedures can affect planning.
Your Expectations
We discuss what treatment may realistically change and what it cannot.
A consultation allows us to determine whether treatment may be appropriate rather than assuming everyone is a candidate.
Safety and Realistic Expectations
Injectable aesthetic treatments are medical procedures. Even when treatment is elective, safety matters.
Before receiving Botox or dermal fillers, provide a complete health and medication history. This helps identify possible concerns and allows us to discuss whether treatment is appropriate.
Temporary side effects can occur with both treatments, including discomfort, swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Serious side effects are less common but possible with any injectable treatment and require appropriate attention.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviews injectable products for their approved uses and known risks. Dosage, treatment location, and individual health factors all matter, which is why we plan each treatment carefully.
Dr. Londan Davis approaches aesthetic care with the same steady attention given to dental treatment at Providence Dental. We want you to understand the expected benefits, limitations, alternatives, and possible side effects before you decide to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox Cosmetic temporarily reduces activity in selected muscles that contribute to movement-related facial wrinkles. Dermal fillers add or restore volume in specific areas. The right choice depends on whether your concern involves muscle movement, volume loss, or facial contours.
How long do Botox and dermal filler results last?
Neither Botox nor dermal fillers are permanent. Botox gradually wears off as muscle activity returns. How long dermal fillers last depends on the product, treatment area, amount used, and your individual response. We discuss reasonable expectations for your specific treatment rather than promising a set timeframe.
Are Botox and dermal filler injections painful?
Comfort varies from person to person and depends partly on the treatment area. You may feel a pinch, pressure, or brief discomfort at the injection site. Temporary tenderness, swelling, redness, or bruising may also occur afterward. We explain what to expect before treatment begins.
Can Botox or dermal fillers treat acne scars or sun damage?
No. Botox mainly softens certain movement-related lines, and fillers restore volume in selected areas. Concerns such as acne scars, sun damage, or uneven skin texture call for different types of treatment that we do not provide. If that is your main concern, we will tell you so you can look into the right option.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for aesthetic treatment?
Candidacy depends on your goals, medical history, medications, overall health, previous procedures, and the area you want to address. A consultation gives us time to evaluate your needs and explain potential benefits, limitations, side effects, and alternatives before you make a decision.
