What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal filler is an FDA-approved gel injected under the skin to create a fuller, smoother appearance. Dermal fillers improve the area of a smile (jawline, cheeks, chin, lips, gums) and can combat TMJ.
What can Dermal Fillers do?
Dermal fillers have many uses in dentistry and cosmetology. A few benefits include the following:
- Close the gap between teeth. When the mouth lacks gum tissue, it can leave gaps between the base of the teeth. These “black gaps” can be hazardous over time, depending on the size and seriousness. We use dermal fillers to repair the gum line.
- Remove facial lines. Dermal fillers can remove marionette lines, wrinkles, and other unwanted facial features.
- Treat the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). We can add more volume to the facial muscles surrounding the TMJ with dermal filler, allowing smoother movement. Dermal fillers reduce pain and inflammation.
- Fuller lips. Over time, our lips are prone to shrinkage and thinning. We increase the lips’ volume, firmness, and elasticity with dermal filler.
- Improve jaw and chin structure. Using dermal fillers, our dentists can enhance the appearance of the jaw.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Yes, however, side effects can occur. You can read more about their pros and cons below.
Pros of Dermal Fillers:
The benefits of dermal fillers include:
- Look younger. Dermal filling gives a smoother face, fuller lips, and a more robust jawline- all attractive qualities.
- Impermanent. As dermal fillers are impermanent, you can always change your appearance the next time you get a dermal filler. You don’t have to worry about irreversible changes done to the face or mouth.
- Minimum discomfort. We inject dermal fillers with surgical needles that won’t damage your nerves. Coupled with a topical anesthetic, you won’t feel a thing.
Cons of Dermal Fillers:
- Dermal fillers can be spendy and are an impermanent solution. While rare, dermal fillers also come with potential side effects:
Potential Side Effects:
Hypersensitivity
Both type 1 and type 4 hypersensitivity reactions are potential side effects. These reactions can occur minutes or days after the injection.
Bruising, bleeding & swelling
While fully biocompatible and FDA-approved, dermal fillers can cause these symptoms at injection sites. With medications, rest, and ice packs, these outbreaks are short-lived and self-resolving.
Lumps & nodules
Untrained experts may use too much filling, which creates lumps and nodules in the skin. At Dental Solutions, you’ll never have to worry about these.
