Bruxism Injections Edmonton

Bruxism injections are a non-surgical injectable procedure offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. The procedure targets the masseter muscles, which are involved in clenching and grinding of the teeth, with the aim of supporting patients living with bruxism and related jaw tension.

Bruxism injections can help patients experiencing teeth clenching or grinding, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort associated with overactive masseter muscles, and the gradual changes in the contour of the lower face linked to repeated muscle activity. Over a series of treatments, the masseter muscle may gradually reduce in volume, which can also modify the contour of the jawline. The procedure may be received on its own, or paired with complementary in-clinic options depending on individual goals and clinical findings.

Because every patient’s jaw anatomy, goals and medical history are different, bruxism injections at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begin with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether bruxism injections are the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Personalized Assessment
During your consultation, our experts will assess your symptoms, grinding patterns, jaw tension, and medical history to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2
Proceed with Treatment
Bruxism injections involve a series of small injections into the masseter muscles. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes with minimal discomfort. A numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
Step 3
Return to Normal Activities
There is minimal downtime after the procedure. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites may occur but resolves quickly.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Results from bruxism injections typically start to appear within 1-2 weeks, with full effects seen by 3-4 weeks. Relief can last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual. To maintain results, follow-up treatments are recommended, with a personalized schedule to ensure continued relief from bruxism symptoms.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid this treatment. Active infections or irritations in the treatment area should be addressed first. Any allergies to injectable ingredients must be disclosed prior to treatment. Individuals with certain neurological or muscle disorders should consult a provider before proceeding.
