Bruxism Injections Edmonton South

Bruxism injections are a non-surgical injectable procedure that targets the masseter muscle to help reduce involuntary clenching and grinding of the teeth, relieve jaw tension and symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, and gradually reduce the volume of the masseter muscle. With repeated treatments, the reduction in muscle volume can also change the contour of the lower face and jawline. This procedure is suitable for both men and women.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's jaw anatomy, symptoms, goals and medical history are different, bruxism injections at our South Edmonton clinic 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 what a realistic treatment plan could look like, whether the primary goal is to address teeth grinding, TMJ-related discomfort or masseter reduction, 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.
