– Injectables in Calgary SW
Subtle. Natural. Expertly Placed.
Your dentist already has one of the most precise injection skills of any healthcare provider – years of training in facial anatomy, nerve mapping, and fine-needle technique. At Westside Dental in West Springs, we bring that precision to cosmetic injectables: Botox for softening lines and refreshing your look, lip enhancement for a naturally fuller, beautifully shaped result, and masseter Botox for jaw slimming and pain relief. Every injectable treatment at Westside Dental is designed to complement your features – enhancing what you have, without changing who you are.
What We Offer – Cosmetic Botox
Cosmetic Botox uses small, precise doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax the facial expression muscles responsible for dynamic lines – the wrinkles that form from repeated movement like squinting, frowning, and smiling. The result is a smoother, more rested appearance that looks natural, not frozen.
Most commonly treated areas
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows (11 lines)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Brow lifting
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines and lip flip
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands (Platysma)
What to expect: Treatment takes approximately 15–20 minutes. A series of tiny injections are placed with precision – most patients describe minimal discomfort. Results appear within 5-7 days, with full effect at 2 weeks. Results last 3-4 months on average. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain your result.
Lip Enhancement
Fuller, more defined lips are one of the most requested aesthetic treatments – and one of the most technique-sensitive. At Westside Dental, lip enhancement is performed with the precision that comes from years of working with facial anatomy. Our approach focuses on proportion and natural shape – adding volume where it enhances your natural features, defining the lip border, and improving symmetry, without the overfilled appearance that gives lip injections a poor reputation.
What we can achieve
- Natural volume enhancement
- Definition and border sharpening
- Symmetry correction
- Hydration and texture improvement
- Subtle lip flip for more visible upper lip
What to expect: Lip enhancement appointments take approximately 30-45 minutes including consultation and numbing. Lips are numbed topically before treatment. Mild swelling for 24-72 hours is normal – final results are visible within 1-2 weeks. Results last 6-12 months.
Masseter Slimming – Jaw Contouring
The masseter is the large muscle on either side of the jaw. In some patients – particularly those who grind or clench – the masseter becomes enlarged through overuse, creating a wide, square lower face that doesn’t reflect their natural bone structure. Botox injected into the masseter gradually reduces its size over 4-8 weeks, creating a slimmer, more refined lower face contour.
Jaw Contouring
This treatment has the added benefit of reducing grinding force and jaw tension – making it one of the few aesthetic treatments that also improves physical health at the same time.
Note: Patients with jaw pain or suspected TMJ dysfunction are also assessed for our Therapeutic Botox program. Ask us about the difference at your consultation.
The Dental Advantage for Injectables
Dentists have one of the most advanced understandings of facial anatomy of any healthcare provider – they spend years learning the precise location of nerves, vessels, muscles, and tissue planes in the face. This knowledge translates directly to injectable treatments
Precise needle
- Precise needle placement based on deep anatomical knowledge
- Expert understanding of facial muscle interaction
- Clinical environment with full infection control standards
- A provider who already knows your face – and your health history
At Westside Dental, your injectable treatments are integrated with the rest of your care. If your jaw contouring Botox has implications for TMJ, Dr. Z knows. If your lip enhancement complements a smile makeover you’re planning, that coordination happens naturally.
