If you are a patient of Hoye Dental, you are qualified to receive
XEOMIN® injections. XEOMIN® is a neurotoxin with the same active
ingredient, botulinum toxin A, as Botox. Used to treat a range of
ailments, the neurotoxin’s side effect is that it reduces the appearance
of wrinkles.
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your browns contract,
which causes the skin to fold. As you age and your skin loses its
elasticity, the repeated contractions of these muscles cause persistent
frown lines. XEOMIN® is a prescription medication used in facial
aesthetics to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe
frown lines between the eyes.
Botulinum toxin type A, which is the active ingredient in XEOMIN®,
acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from
contracting. If the muscles’ contractions are minimized, then frown
lines can be temporarily reduced.
While we do not allow patients to come in exclusively for XEOMIN®
injections, it is an available service for our dental patients, but we
are always accepting new patients to our practice!

What You Need to Know about Crowns
A dental crown is used to protect and strengthen a tooth if it has
become extremely weak, fractured or decayed. It covers your affected
tooth and restores it to its original shape and size while reducing
pain, saving your tooth from extraction and keeping your smile
functional. At Hoye Dental, we can see if a crown is necessary to save
your bite.
As we age, our teeth begin to weaken, making them more susceptible to problems, such as decay, cracks and discoloration. If a tooth reaches a point where the structure is compromised and in danger of breaking, crowns can be used to reinforce and protect it. When a crown is installed, the decay is removed from the tooth and a core build-up is used to insulate the nerve and create a surface to bond the crown to. Then an impression is taken of your tooth so that a crown can be custom made for your mouth out of gold or porcelain. This process can take two to three weeks. When completed, the crown is then cemented onto the current tooth.
Crowns are made of incredibly strong material in order to protect the remaining tooth structure, and the custom fit ensures that the seam between the tooth and crown is minute to protect from further decay.
If you’re experiencing decay and pain in one of your teeth, stop by one of our offices to see if a crown can save your bite. Call 508-823-1600 to schedule an appointment in Taunton, MA, and call 781-444-4647 to schedule an appointment in Needham, MA.
