Targeted relief for dental-related muscle pain and dysfunction
XEOMIN® injections are a therapeutic treatment we offer to help manage certain dental-related muscle conditions—not for cosmetic purposes. XEOMIN works by relaxing overactive muscles that contribute to pain, tension, and dysfunction in the jaw and face.
For patients who struggle with chronic clenching, grinding, or jaw discomfort, XEOMIN in Lincoln, Nebraska, can be an effective part of a comprehensive dental treatment plan.
Why XEOMIN is used in dentistry
Excessive muscle activity in the jaw and face can lead to:
- Jaw pain and tightness
- Chronic headaches or facial pain
- Tooth wear, fractures, or failing dental work
- TMJ discomfort or limited jaw movement
- Muscle fatigue and soreness
XEOMIN helps calm these overactive muscles, allowing the jaw to function more comfortably and reducing stress on the teeth and joints.
Benefits of therapeutic XEOMIN
- Reduces jaw clenching and grinding (bruxism)
- Helps relieve TMJ-related pain and muscle tension
- Decreases headaches linked to muscle overuse
- Protects teeth and dental restorations from excessive force
- Nonsurgical and minimally invasive
- No added proteins, which may reduce resistance over time
A dental-first approach
Because we understand bite forces, jaw mechanics, and facial muscle function, XEOMIN is used thoughtfully and conservatively as part of dental care—not aesthetics. Treatment is customized based on your symptoms, muscle activity, and overall oral health.
XEOMIN may be recommended by our dentists and team alongside night guards, bite therapy, restorative treatment, or other TMJ-focused care to improve comfort and long-term outcomes.
What to expect
Treatment is quick and typically well tolerated. Most patients notice relief within days, with results lasting several months. Our focus is on improving function and reducing pain—helping you feel better and protect your smile.
