What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that are placed under the skin. They are used to change or enhance the appearance of someone’s face.
The fillers are a gel-like substance that can do many things, including:
- Smooth fine lines around the mouth, including smile lines and marionette lines
- Restore youthful fullness to lips and cheeks, framing your smile beautifully
- Balance facial proportions after dental restorations for a harmonious look
- Improve comfort with dentures in select cases by enhancing lip and cheek support
- Enhance results when paired with other cosmetic treatments like veneers or whitening
- Reduce the appearance of scarring or other damage to your skin
While often associated with med spas or cosmetic surgery clinics, dermal fillers also have a valuable role in dentistry because they enhance the aesthetics of your smile. We focus on more than just your teeth by using dermal fillers to improve the look of the lips, mouth, and surrounding facial areas.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers in Dentistry
Dermal fillers can be a subtle yet powerful complement to your dental care. Dermal fillers offer many benefits, especially when paired with cosmetic dentistry treatments:
- Customizable: You get to choose where the dermal filler goes, and with what other treatments you pair it with.
- FDA-Approved and Safe: Dermal fillers help improve your appearance without risking your health.
- Long-Lasting But Not Permanent: Dermal fillers are not permanent, so if you need to adjust placement, you can, but you also don’t need to get the fillers renewed often.
- Versatile: You can use dermal fillers for a variety of things in a variety of places on your face or even your neck.
- No Recovery Time: This treatment has very little downtime, making it easy to get without interrupting your schedule.

Am I a Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Are in good general and oral health
- Desire a non-surgical option for facial enhancement
- Want to address fine lines, lost volume, or asymmetry
- Are looking for natural-looking results to complement your smile
You may need to postpone treatment or seek alternative treatment if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain allergies, or have an active skin infection near the injection site.
How Dermal Fillers Complement Your Smile Makeover
A truly radiant smile isn’t just about teeth; it’s about the harmony with the rest of your face. Dermal fillers can:
- Support orthodontic results by refining facial symmetry
- Provide fuller, more defined lips that enhance your new veneers or crowns
- Reduce the appearance of lines that can distract from your smile
- Restore lost volume to create a youthful, balanced look after dental reconstruction
Dermal Fillers vs. Botox: What’s the Difference?
Patients often confuse Botox and dermal fillers. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Botox: Relaxes facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by expression (like crow’s feet or forehead lines).
- Dermal Fillers: Add volume and shape to smooth static wrinkles, plump lips, and enhance contours.
Rudnick Dentistry offers both treatments so you can achieve a comprehensive, youthful look.
Longevity and Maintenance
Results from dermal fillers typically last 6–18 months, depending on the type used, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism. Many patients schedule touch-ups once a year to maintain a consistent look.
Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and skincare habits can influence how long results last. We’ll give you personalized recommendations to help extend the benefits of your treatment and keep your look fresh for as long as possible.
