You wake up without that familiar jaw ache. Your forehead feels relaxed instead of tense. The headaches that used to derail your afternoons are gone.
This is what happens when Botox actually works the way it should. Not just covering up symptoms, but addressing the root muscle tension that’s been stealing your comfort and confidence.
Within 72 hours, you’ll notice the difference. Your face looks more rested. Your jaw stops clenching. The grinding that was wearing down your teeth finally stops.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been treating Stanford, NY and Dutchess County residents since 1988. That’s three decades of understanding exactly how facial muscles work and what it takes to get lasting results.
Unlike med spas or quick-service clinics, we approach Botox as both an art and a science. Dr. Kupetz knows the difference between treating symptoms and solving problems.
Our patients from Stanford to Wappinger Falls keep coming back because we deliver what we promise: natural-looking results that actually improve how you feel, not just how you look.
Your consultation starts with Dr. Kupetz examining your specific concerns. He maps out exactly where the tension is coming from and explains what to expect.
The actual treatment takes about 15 minutes. Using precise injection techniques developed over 30 years of practice, he targets the exact muscles causing your pain or wrinkles.
Most patients see results within 3-4 days. The muscle tension releases, wrinkles smooth out, and that chronic jaw pain finally gives you a break. Effects typically last 3-4 months, and many Stanford patients find they need fewer units over time as muscles learn to stay relaxed.

We offer comprehensive Botox treatments for both medical and cosmetic concerns. TMJ disorder, chronic teeth grinding, and facial pain respond exceptionally well to targeted muscle relaxation.
For Stanford residents dealing with the stress-related jaw tension common in Dutchess County’s professional community, Botox provides relief that actually lasts. The treatment also addresses forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines with natural-looking results.
Each treatment is customized based on your anatomy, concerns, and goals. Dr. Kupetz uses medical-grade Botox with precise dosing to ensure you get exactly what you need without overdoing it.
Botox pricing in Stanford typically ranges from $300-600 per treatment session, depending on the number of units needed and areas treated. We charge per unit, which allows for precise customization based on your specific needs.
The exact cost depends on whether you’re treating medical issues like TMJ or cosmetic concerns like wrinkles. Most patients find the investment worthwhile given the 3-4 month duration of results and the significant improvement in comfort and appearance.
During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz provides a detailed cost breakdown so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
Dentists like Dr. Kupetz are uniquely qualified to administer Botox because of our extensive training in facial anatomy and injection techniques. We understand the complex muscle interactions around the mouth, jaw, and face better than most medical professionals.
Dr. Kupetz has been performing precise injections for over 30 years, making him exceptionally skilled at delivering comfortable, effective treatments. Dentists also have specialized knowledge about conditions like TMJ and bruxism that often require Botox treatment.
The combination of anatomical expertise and decades of injection experience makes dental-administered Botox both safe and highly effective for Stanford patients.
Botox results for TMJ typically last 3-4 months, though some patients experience relief for up to 6 months. The duration depends on the severity of your condition, muscle strength, and how your body metabolizes the treatment.
Most Stanford patients notice significant jaw pain relief within 72 hours, with full effects developing over the first week. As the Botox gradually wears off, you can schedule maintenance treatments to prevent symptoms from returning.
Many patients find that regular Botox treatments actually help retrain their jaw muscles, leading to longer periods of comfort between sessions.
Yes, Botox is highly effective for treating bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the masseter muscles responsible for jaw clenching. This protects your teeth from damage while eliminating the jaw pain and headaches that often accompany grinding.
The treatment allows you to maintain normal chewing and speaking function while preventing the destructive muscle hyperactivity that occurs during sleep. Most patients see a dramatic reduction in grinding within the first week.
We often combine Botox treatment with a custom night guard for comprehensive protection, addressing both the muscle tension and providing a physical barrier for your teeth.
Multiple areas can typically be treated during a single visit to maximize convenience and results. Common combinations include forehead lines with crow’s feet, or TMJ treatment paired with frown line smoothing.
Dr. Kupetz evaluates your facial anatomy to determine the most effective treatment plan. We can address medical concerns like jaw tension while simultaneously treating cosmetic issues like wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
Most Stanford patients appreciate being able to address several concerns in one 15-20 minute appointment, making the most efficient use of their time while achieving comprehensive results.
Initial results typically appear within 3-4 days, with full effects developing over 7-14 days. For TMJ and jaw pain relief, many patients notice improvement even sooner, sometimes within 24-48 hours.
Cosmetic results like wrinkle smoothing develop more gradually as the muscles fully relax. The timeline can vary slightly based on your metabolism, the areas treated, and the dosage used.
We schedule a follow-up check around 2 weeks post-treatment to ensure optimal results and make any necessary adjustments for future sessions.
