Frequently Asked Questions
Is it unusual for a dental office to have a MedSpa?
Dental clinics are becoming more and more popular for providing MedSpa services, including BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and injectable fillers. At Gentle Care Dentistry, our dentists are very well educated and trained in the anatomy and physiology of the head and neck, and they are very familiar and competent with facial injections, as they give hundreds per week for both routine and esthetic dental work. Our dentists specialized education, training, and experience in this area provides our patients with a unique advantage of receiving esthetic injectables at our MedSpa.
How long will my results last?
The MedSpa services at Gentle Care Dentistry are designed to be long-lasting. However, most of them are temporary and will necessitate additional treatments in the future to maintain results. The effects of KYBELLA® are permanent as long as patients lead a healthy, active lifestyle.

Because PRP is harvested from your blood, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction to it. Experiencing complications after PRP treatment is extremely rare.
