If you are experiencing facial sagging, volume loss or changes in your facial proportions, you may be considering ways to restore a more youthful appearance. Traditional facelift surgery involves cutting and repositioning facial tissues, but this does not address the underlying dental and jaw structure that significantly influences facial aesthetics.
A nonsurgical facelift focuses on restoring balance and support to the face by improving the foundation of your appearance – your teeth and jaw alignment. This advanced dental approach enhances facial proportions naturally, without invasive procedures or extended recovery times.
How Your Dental Structure Affects Your Facial Appearance
Your facial appearance is deeply connected to your dental health. The teeth, jaw and surrounding muscles form the foundation that supports your cheeks, lips and overall facial contours. As teeth wear down, shift or are lost over time, the lower face may lose volume, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin and a collapsed appearance.
By restoring your teeth and optimizing jaw alignment with a nonsurgical facelift, Dr. Ronald Konig and Dr. Diane Banks can rejuvenate your facial structure, improving both function and aesthetics.
Are You a Candidate for a Nonsurgical Facelift?
A nonsurgical facelift may be an ideal solution if you experience:
- Loss of facial volume due to worn or missing teeth
- TMJ-related facial asymmetry or discomfort
- A receding chin or misaligned bite
- Wrinkles and sagging around the mouth and jawline
- Sunken cheeks or thinning lips
By correcting these issues at their source, a nonsurgical facelift provides long-lasting, natural-looking results that enhance your entire facial structure.
Benefits of a Nonsurgical Facelift
Unlike surgical facelifts, which only address skin laxity, a nonsurgical facelift provides deeper, more comprehensive improvements by restoring proper support to the facial tissues. Benefits include:
- A more youthful and proportionate facial structure
- Improved definition in the jawline and chin
- Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin
- Enhanced function and comfort, particularly for those with TMJ issues
- No incisions, downtime, or surgical risks
How Jaw Misalignment Contributes to Facial Asymmetry
Facial asymmetry often results from an imbalanced bite or misaligned jaw. When one side of the face compensates more than the other, the muscles become overdeveloped on one side, creating an uneven appearance. Additionally, chronic strain on the jaw joint can lead to swelling and changes in bone structure over time. By realigning the bite and correcting dental imbalances, a nonsurgical facelift can help restore facial symmetry and relieve jaw-related discomfort.
Nonsurgical Facelift & TMJ Treatment
Many patients seeking facial rejuvenation also struggle with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can cause facial pain, headaches and muscle tension. A nonsurgical facelift can improve TMJ function by realigning the bite, reducing strain on the jaw and optimizing muscle balance. Treatment options may include:
- Orthodontic adjustments to align the teeth and improve jaw position
- Dental restorations such as crowns or bridges to rebuild lost tooth structure
- Night guards or splints to alleviate jaw tension and grinding
- Neuromuscular dentistry to restore harmony between the teeth, muscles, and jaw joint
By addressing these concerns, patients not only achieve a more youthful appearance but also experience significant relief from TMJ-related discomfort.
The Nonsurgical Facelift Process
Your treatment plan is customized based on your unique facial structure and dental needs. Treatment may involve:
- Replacing missing teeth with implants, bridges, or dentures to restore facial volume
- Reshaping and rebuilding teeth with crowns or veneers to improve bite alignment
- Orthodontic treatments to reposition teeth and enhance jaw function
- Neuromuscular adjustments to ensure proper muscle and joint function
The result is a balanced, rejuvenated facial appearance that looks completely natural and requires no surgical intervention.
Safety & Recovery
A nonsurgical facelift is a safe and minimally invasive approach to facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional facelifts, which require extensive healing, dental-based facial enhancements involve little to no downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately, with only minor adjustments as their bite and jaw position improve.
Is a Nonsurgical Facelift Covered by Insurance?
Some treatments involved in a nonsurgical facelift may be covered by dental insurance if they are deemed medically necessary, such as TMJ therapy or bite correction. Cosmetic procedures, such as veneers or teeth whitening, are typically not covered. Our office works with your insurance provider to determine the extent of your benefits and can discuss flexible financing options if needed.
