Dermal Fillers
Yes, it is. Dentists like Dr. Brian Cook, who has specialized training in facial anatomy and injection technique, can safely administer dermal fillers, while drawing on greater expertise than a dermatologist in how the mouth and surrounding facial structures work together.
Why Dentists Are Great for Dermal Fillers
Dentists spend years studying every detail of the anatomy of the face, jaw, and mouth. This gives them a strong foundation for administering fillers around the lips, smile lines, and lower face. Combined with additional certification in injectable treatments, this allows dentists like Dr. Cook to safely and precisely administer dermal fillers.
Expertise on Facial Aesthetics
Because dental treatment already focuses on the smile and surrounding facial structures, dentists bring a function-focused perspective to cosmetic injectables. This is especially valuable when fillers are used alongside other smile-enhancing treatments.
What Training and Safety Actually Involve
Proper administration of dermal fillers requires specific training in injection technique and facial anatomy. These credentials go beyond general dental education. Dr. Cook has pursued this additional training to safely offer this treatment to our patients here at Twickenham Family Dentistry.
