Looking good and feeling good are connected. We offer botulinum toxin, specifically Xeomin, and dermal filler treatments planned by a dentist around your smile and the way your face moves.
Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers work differently to reduce muscle activity or add volume. Because Dr. Hammoud is a dentist, he understands the complex anatomy of your lips, jaw muscles, and smile. We evaluate your facial proportions to ensure your results look natural and complement your existing dental work. We help you address:
We carefully target specific facial muscles to soften expression lines and smooth dynamic wrinkles.
We use targeted injections to relax overactive chewing muscles, reducing jaw tension and protecting your teeth from grinding.
We use dermal fillers to restore volume and define lip borders, creating a balanced frame for your smile.
We sit down to discuss your aesthetic goals and map out a treatment plan based on your unique facial anatomy.
Consultation & Health Review We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and evaluate your facial proportions both at rest and in motion.
Product & Risk Discussion We tell you exactly which product we recommend and explain whether it is FDA-approved or off-label. We go through the side effects and risks that apply to you before you agree to anything.
Precision Treatment We perform your injections carefully in our Dearborn office. We prioritize your safety and aim for a natural, balanced aesthetic.
Aftercare & Follow-Up We send you home with clear written instructions on what is normal and what requires immediate attention. We then schedule a follow-up to evaluate your final results.
Dr. Hammoud built 313 Dental with the belief that when you look good, you feel good, and you do better. Most people asking about Botox or lip filler are not chasing a dramatic, artificial change. They simply want to look like themselves on a good day. As a dentist, Dr. Hammoud works around the complex muscles of the face and jaw every single day. This means we plan your facial aesthetics against your actual smile and bite, rather than treating them in isolation. We prioritize your safety and natural proportions above all else. If your aesthetic goals fall outside our clinical scope, Dr. Hammoud will tell you straight and point you toward a trusted specialist.
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces activity in selected muscles to smooth out lines. Dermal filler adds volume and changes the contour of areas like your lips. They work differently and carry different risks.
No. Both Botox and dermal fillers wear off over time. How long they last depends on the product we use, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism. We will give you a realistic timeline before we begin rather than a fixed number.
No. Using botulinum toxin for TMD or bruxism is considered off-label. While it can temporarily reduce jaw muscle activity for some patients, it is not a guaranteed fix and does not cure the underlying habit.
While common side effects include swelling and bruising, rare but serious complications can occur if filler accidentally enters a blood vessel. This can lead to tissue damage, vision changes, or stroke. We maintain strict clinical safety protocols and complication-response plans to minimize these risks.
You must seek immediate emergency medical care if you experience unusual or severe pain, vision changes, skin that turns white or blue near the injection site, sudden facial weakness, difficulty speaking, or confusion.
Yes. We never provide injectable treatments based simply on a requested brand or number of units. We require a full consultation to review your health history, discuss the risks, and ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
