Dr. Scott Kupetz has been serving Dutchess County residents since 1988. He’s one of the only dentists in the Dover Plains area offering Botox treatments, combining over three decades of facial anatomy expertise with advanced cosmetic training.

You’ll start seeing results within 72 hours, with full effects visible in about a week. The treatment typically lasts 3-4 months, and we’ll schedule your follow-up appointments to maintain your results. No downtime means you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.

But our Botox treatments in Dover, NY go beyond cosmetics. We use Botox to treat TMJ disorders, chronic headaches, teeth grinding (bruxism), and excessive sweating. Many Dutchess County patients find relief from jaw pain and tension headaches that other treatments couldn’t address.

Yes, Botox is highly effective for treating TMJ disorders and related jaw pain. By relaxing the masseter and temporalis muscles that control jaw movement, Botox can provide significant relief from TMJ symptoms including jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding.
Many Dover, NY patients experience chronic jaw tension from stress, teeth clenching, or structural issues. Botox injections into the jaw muscles reduce this tension, often providing relief within days of treatment.
Dr. Kupetz’s understanding of dental and facial anatomy allows him to precisely target the muscles causing your discomfort. The treatment typically lasts 3-4 months, and many patients find their TMJ symptoms improve significantly during this time. For those dealing with both cosmetic concerns and jaw pain, combining aesthetic and therapeutic Botox treatments offers comprehensive relief.
Botox results typically last 3-4 months, though individual results may vary based on factors like muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment area. Some patients notice effects beginning to fade around the 3-month mark, while others maintain results closer to 4-5 months.
Dr. Kupetz will discuss your expected timeline during consultation and help you plan maintenance treatments to keep results consistent. Many Dover patients schedule their next appointment before their current Botox fully wears off to maintain continuous results.
First-time patients sometimes find their results don’t last quite as long, but with regular treatments, many people notice their Botox lasts longer over time. Dr. Kupetz tracks your response to treatment and can adjust timing and dosing to optimize your results and minimize the frequency of appointments needed.
Botox and dermal fillers address different types of aging concerns through different mechanisms. Botox works by relaxing muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles – the lines that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning or squinting.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add volume to areas that have lost fullness due to age, addressing static wrinkles and hollow areas. Dr. Kupetz offers both Botox and Juvederm fillers, allowing him to create comprehensive treatment plans.
Many Dover, NY patients benefit from combining both treatments – Botox for expression lines around the eyes and forehead, and fillers for lip enhancement or deeper facial lines. During your consultation, Dr. Kupetz will assess your specific concerns and recommend the most effective approach, whether that’s Botox alone, fillers alone, or a combination treatment plan.
Botox requires minimal downtime, but following a few simple guidelines helps ensure optimal results. For the first 4 hours after treatment, avoid lying down, exercising vigorously, or rubbing the treated areas to prevent the Botox from migrating.
You can return to work and most normal activities immediately after your appointment. Some patients experience minor swelling or redness at injection sites, but this typically resolves within a few hours.
Dr. Kupetz provides detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment areas and lifestyle. Most Dover patients appreciate being able to schedule Botox treatments during lunch breaks or between other appointments without disrupting their busy schedules. Avoiding alcohol for 24 hours and refraining from facials or massages for a week helps ensure the best possible results from your treatment.
