Ontario dentists now have the opportunity to elevate patient care and expand their clinical expertise by incorporating therapeutic Botox® treatments and lip enhancement with dermal fillers into their practice—provided they complete accredited training.
At PTIFAT, our advanced, anatomy-based Botox training for dentists is built to exceed the regulatory standards of practice by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) and help dentists confidently deliver predictable, safe outcomes in therapeutic care.
Therapeutic Botox: A Powerful Tool in Dentistry
Botulinum toxin (Botox®) is a Health Canada-approved medication with a growing range of therapeutic applications in dentistry. With the right training, Ontario dentists can use Botox® to help manage:
- Temporomandibular disorders (TMD)
- Bruxism and muscle hyperactivity
- Chronic facial pain
- Implant and prosthodontic complications
- Migraines related to oral muscle strain
Therapeutic Botox works by relaxing overactive muscles, reducing inflammation, and disrupting pain pathways—providing relief for patients where other modalities may have failed.
EMG-Guided Botox®: Precise, Data-Driven Relief
Unlike traditional injection approaches that rely on visual landmarks or guesswork, PTIFAT’s training includes electromyography (EMG) guidance. This advanced technique allows dentists to:
Identify overactive muscles contributing to pain
Pinpoint optimal injection sites and dosage
Track muscle relaxation over time
Re-treat based on objective data
The result? Predictable, reproducible outcomes that improve long-term patient care—and help dentists build a reputation for clinical excellence in therapeutic treatment.
Lip Filler: Aesthetic Enhancements Within Scope
In addition to therapeutic Botox®, Ontario dentists are also permitted to provide lip enhancement using dermal fillers—so long as they have completed approved, competency-based training.
PTIFA’s Level 4 training covers lip filler techniques in detail, focusing on:
- Lip anatomy & vascular safety
- Natural enhancement and proportion
- Injection techniques to avoid complications
- Patient communication and aesthetic planning
This allows dentists to offer subtle, patient-centered lip treatments that align with their existing skill set in orofacial anatomy and patient care.
