PGA Dentistry Offers Botox®
If the phrase “Botox at the dentist” made you pause, that’s pretty normal. For most people, a dental office and a cosmetic injector occupy very different corners of their mental map. One is about teeth. The other is about skin. But what if that separation was never as logical as it seemed?
At PGA Dentistry, Dr. Jay Ajmo and Dr. Polina Bykovskaya offer Botox® as part of a comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics, and patients who discover this are consistently surprised by how much it changes their experience. Not because it’s unexpected, but because it makes perfect sense once you understand who is actually doing the injecting.

Who Knows the Face Better Than a Dentist?
Think about what dentists do every single day.
They reconstruct full arches of teeth. They design smiles that are balanced to the exact millimeter. They work with the muscles, nerves, and bone structure of the face in ways that most physicians never will. Dentists complete thousands of hours of clinical training specifically focused on the anatomy of the head, neck, and oral-facial region.
When it comes to facial injectables, placement is everything. A fraction of a millimeter in the wrong direction changes the result. The dentists who train in facial aesthetics bring something to the table that many cosmetic injectors simply do not have: a deep, surgical-level understanding of what lies beneath the surface.
What We Offer: Botox® and Dermal Fillers at PGA Dentistry
Botox® Injections
Botox® works by temporarily relaxing the small muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form when you laugh, squint, or raise your eyebrows. At PGA Dentistry, we use Botox® to address:
- Forehead lines and frown lines: The “11s” between the brows
- Crow’s feet: The lines at the corners of the eyes
- Lip lines: Fine vertical lines around the mouth
- Gummy smile correction: A small amount of Botox® can relax the upper lip to reduce excessive gum display when you smile
- TMJ and jaw tension: Botox® injected into the masseter muscle can reduce clenching, jaw pain, and the square, bulky appearance it sometimes creates
Dermal Fillers
Where Botox® relaxes muscles, dermal fillers restore volume and structure to areas of the face that have thinned over time. We use fillers to address:
- Nasolabial folds: the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Lip enhancement: natural volume and definition without an overdone appearance
- Cheek and midface volume: restoring the lifted, youthful contour that gradually diminishes with age
- Under-eye hollows: softening the tired appearance that persists even after a full night’s sleep
Our goal is never to make you look “done.” It’s to make you look like the best version of yourself: rested, confident, and naturally vibrant.
The Smile and the Face Are One Design
Here is something most cosmetic practices do not think about: your smile does not exist in isolation.
When Dr. Ajmo designs a smile makeover or a full-mouth reconstruction, he considers the entire aesthetic frame, how the teeth relate to the lips, how the lips relate to the face, and how everything moves together when you laugh or speak. A beautifully restored smile surrounded by deep perioral lines or significant volume loss can look incongruous. The transformation is incomplete.
By offering Botox® and dermal fillers in the same practice, we can address the full picture. If you are investing in porcelain veneers or a complete smile makeover, you deserve a result that is cohesive from the teeth outward. Many of our patients who pursue cosmetic dentistry find that a few precisely placed units of Botox® around the mouth elevate the entire result.
Is It Safe to Get Botox® at a Dental Office?
Yes, and in many respects, the environment is safer than a standalone spa or aesthetic bar. PGA Dentistry is a fully licensed, clinical medical facility. Our sterilization and infection control protocols exceed industry standards. Dr. Ajmo’s team works in a setting where precision, sterility, and patient safety are not add-ons; they are the foundation of everything we do.
Additionally, because we know your full medical and dental history, we can identify contraindications that a cosmetic injector seeing you for the first time might not flag. If you’re on certain medications, if you have specific dental or jaw conditions, or if your treatment plan includes upcoming dental procedures, we factor all of that in.
- The result: a safer, more personalized experience from a provider who already knows and cares about you.
