Dento-Facial Aesthetics

At Lower Templestowe Dental Excellence, our qualified team provides dento-facial aesthetic consultations to support patients who wish to address concerns related to muscle activity, ageing, or dental function.

These treatments are designed to complement dental care and may assist in managing symptoms or supporting overall facial harmony.

Dr Mini Li and her team are trained in dento-facial aesthetic procedures that may be used to address cosmetic or functional concerns related to ageing, sun exposure, or muscle tension.

Wrinkle-Reducing Consultations

Fine lines and wrinkles can develop naturally over time due to ageing, facial expressions, and environmental exposure.

Following an assessment, your dentist may recommend wrinkle-reducing treatments. These treatments are designed to temporarily relax specific facial muscles, which may help soften the appearance of facial lines.

The duration of effect and visible outcomes can vary between individuals. A detailed consultation will help determine the most appropriate plan for your needs.

Additional Applications of Wrinkle-Reducing Treatments

Wrinkle-reducing treatments may also be used as part of the management plan for:

• Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)
• Gummy smiles

By reducing activity in certain muscles, these treatments may assist in reducing muscle tension and may contribute to a more balanced smile.
Suitability and outcomes depend on individual assessment.

Other Dento-Facial Aesthetics Treatments 

Age-related changes to facial tissue and elasticity are common. Our practitioners, who have completed advanced dento-facial aesthetic training through the Australasian Academy of Dento-Facial Aesthetics (AADFA), may recommend specific treatments to support concerns related to facial volume or elasticity.

Expected results and duration can vary depending on treatment type, individual health factors, and response. A personalised consultation is required to determine clinical appropriateness.

What to Expect Following Treatment

Some patients may experience temporary effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising. These typically resolve within a few days.

Your dentist will provide aftercare advice and discuss what to expect during your individual recovery. Responses and results vary, and visible changes may appear gradually.

Interested in Learning Whether Dento-Facial Aesthetic Treatments Are Suitable for You?

During your initial consultation, your dentist will review your medical and dental history to ensure any proposed treatment is clinically appropriate and safe for you.
