BOTOX Certification Achieved by New Jersey Cosmetic Dentists

Dr. David Schor, a cosmetic dentist in New Jersey, and his practice have announced their certification in cosmetic facial injections, including BOTOX® and dermal fillers such as Restylane®, by the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry. Dr. Schor’s practice, Imagine Advanced Dental Arts, is the first dental practice in Lawrenceville, NJ to receive the certification for injectable facial treatments such as BOTOX in New Jersey.

The New Jersey State Board of Dentistry, a dental license distributor and regulation division of consumer affairs, recently approved certification for dental practices providing injectable dermal fillers such as BOTOX® Cosmetic. At his practice for cosmetic dentistry in New Jersey, Dr. David Schor and his partner Dr. Maria Rhode were the first dentists in Lawrenceville, NJ to receive certification for the use of facial injections. Dr. Schor says he is excited about the ability to provide patients with even more opportunities to enhance their appearance.

Following completion of an intensive, hands-on training course with the American Academy of Facial Cosmetics, Dr. Schor and Dr. Rhode met the requirements of the New Jersey Board of Dentistry for the administration of neurotoxins like BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® and dermal fillers such as Restylane®. The training course included live model demonstrations, hands-on technique development, education on storage and injection techniques, and understanding the types of wrinkles that can be improved. Dr. Schor says that after having attended the course, he feels confident of the aesthetic benefits available to patients through facial injections as well as the safety of these procedures. “Over time, a person’s repetitive facial movements (smiling, frowning, furrowing the brow) can cause wrinkles and fine lines, making them look and feel older than they really are. Dermal cosmetic injections bring limitless possibilities to patient’s seeking to rejuvenate and revitalize their appearance.”

Dr. Schor says facial injections such as neurotoxins and dermal fillers are effective ways to rejuvenate the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by smoothing skin and creating a vibrant, youthful appearance. He also says combining dermal fillers or neurotoxins such as BOTOX® Cosmetic with a cosmetic dental procedure can offer patients a comprehensive boost to the confidence of their smile. Dr. Schor insists, however, that patients looking to enhance their facial aesthetics through injections and dermal fillers should be sure to consult with a licensed and certified physician before undergoing any treatment. “Proper certification and experience are extremely important to ensure that injectable pharmacologics are properly administered for the health and safety of patients who use these medications for cosmetic purposes.”

Dentists in New Jersey on Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment

Approximately 6 million Americans suffer from moderate to severe sleep apnea according to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research. While many people simply do not realize they suffer from sleep apnea, top Lawrenceville, NJ dentists say this is a serious disorder that can have very serious effects on a person’s overall health. Both Dr. David Schor and Dr. Vivien Mesina are members of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and say that after attending the Academy’s annual conference, they are even better equipped to deliver effective dental treatment proven to correct obstructive sleep apnea.

Dr. David Schor, and Dr. Vivien Mesina of Imagine Advanced Dental Arts offer specialized sleep dentistry treatment, which is designed to help the nearly 6 million Americans suffering from moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea at the New Jersey cosmetic dentistry practice includes a highly effective combination of dental procedures including the fabrication of oral appliances when CPAP is inappropriate for the patient.

In addition to disrupting healthy sleep patterns, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure, hypertension, and possibly lead to strokes. While these concerns can be addressed successfully with treatment, Dr. Schor says many people do not realize they suffer from sleep apnea until someone else brings it to their attention.

Regardless of the type of treatment his patients undergo, Dr. Schor says the disorder requires immediate attention because of the detrimental effects it can have on a patient’s overall health.
As he points out, “Patients suffering from sleep-disordered breathing have increased risk of motor vehicle accidents, hypertension/cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, and stroke.”

The Must See Video

How it works

By preventing teeth clenching, the ArmourBite™ technology relieves pressure on the patient’s teeth and jaw, which allows for better athletic performance. For Dr. Schor however, protection is his top concern. As a natural reaction to sports activities, the jaw pivots forward, causing damage to teeth, and possibly leading to TMJ disorder. The Under Armour Mouthwear™ alleviates a majority of the pressure on the temporomandibular joint, thus limiting the release of hormones that cause fatigue and distraction.

The Fitting Process

The patented technology is fitted in a three-step process. An impression of our patient’s teeth is taken in the dental office to provide a custom-fit. Then the impression is sent to a lab that specializes in making the impression into a sport-guard. Finally, the patient will return to the office for the final fitting, and leave with the Under Armour Performance Sport Mouthwear™, prepared for any sporting activity.

Performance Benefits

While the mouth guard is designed to protect an athlete’s mouth and teeth, it may also enhance an athlete’s performance. Recent statistics in studies conducted by Under Armour show that the mouthwear products can increase endurance, speed up reaction time, reduce athletic stress, and diminish the G-Force impact from blows to the jaw. Whether patients are looking to protect their teeth in contact sports like lacrosse or football, or reduce stress during activities like pilates or yoga, the Under Armour Performance Mouthwear™ can be an excellent addition to each of our athletic patient’s needs.

As an authorized provider of Under Armour’s Performance Mouthwear™, Imagine Advanced Dental Arts is the exclusive provider in Lawrenceville, New Jersey for this revolutionary new technology in mouth protection. As a leader in the innovative dental environment, Dr. Schor is further supporting the varied needs of his patients, while providing additional protection for their teeth.
