Neuromodulator dentistry in Saskatoon helps relax overactive muscles to reduce tension and relieve discomfort caused by clenching or grinding. In dentistry, they’re used to support both functional and cosmetic concerns through carefully placed injections targeting specific muscle groups. We use neuromodulators to treat a range of concerns, including:
In some instances, neuromodulators are used to gently relax the muscles that lift the upper lip in order to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile.
As general dentists, we are trained to assess facial anatomy, jaw movement, and bite alignment. Our background allows us to plan and place injections carefully, with attention to accuracy, balance, and appropriate muscle response.
Botox is commonly used in dentistry to address both therapeutic and aesthetic concerns. It may be used to help manage muscle-related jaw tension and to soften the appearance of certain facial lines when clinically appropriate.
Dysport is similar to Botox and may be selected depending on the treatment area and muscle response. In some cases, it is used for broader muscle groups following a clinical assessment.
If you’ve never had neuromodulator treatment before, the idea can seem a bit unfamiliar. However, our process is quick, low-stress, and completely aligned with the Canadian Dental Association’s standards.
We begin with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your concerns, whether they’re therapeutic or cosmetic. Your dentist will assess the muscles involved, review your medical history, and walk you through the recommended treatment approach.
Using an ultra-fine needle, your dentist will carefully place the neuromodulator into the targeted muscles. The injection itself takes just 5 to 10 minutes and is typically well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
There’s no downtime required. You can return to your usual routine right away. Results often start to appear within a few days and gradually compound over one to two weeks. The effects typically last several months.

I have been a patient of Dr. Saganski’s for over 11 years. I am very, very appreciative of his help in my oral care and treatment of my TMJ. I have ALWAYS found both Dr. Saganski and his staff to be very professional, caring and helpful, both in the office and over the telephone. Very friendly place to visit! I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a new dentist!
