Facial Aesthetics in Cardiff.

Reinvigorate Your Whole Smile.

Every feature on your face contributes to creating a whole, vibrant smile that you feel comfortable expressing in every situation. With Facial Aesthetics, we can achieve your desired look by addressing concerns beyond the shape and colour of your teeth.


Our team can use Facial Aesthetics to reduce the signs of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, nose, and forehead, as well as enhancing the appearance of the lips and cheeks. We integrate this service with our dentistry to achieve natural results that boost your confidence. 

Why West Grove Dental?

At West Grove Dental, our aim is to create results that are suited to your natural face whilst giving you the smile you’ve always dreamt of. We place our focus on patient care, with experience that ensures you are in safe hands both medically and professionally. 

Facial Aesthetics Treatments Tailored to You.

Every facial aesthetics treatment at West Grove Dental begins with a consultation. This gives us the opportunity to understand your concerns, discuss what you would like to achieve and carefully assess your facial features, proportions and anatomy before recommending an appropriate treatment.

Depending on your individual needs, facial aesthetics can be used to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes. Treatment can also enhance areas such as the lips and cheeks, helping to restore or improve definition, volume and facial balance. We can also assess patients experiencing jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism) or discomfort associated with overactive jaw muscles.

Your clinician will create an individual treatment plan and explain what the treatment is designed to achieve, the areas being treated, expected results, possible risks and side effects, and any suitable alternatives.


Treatment, Recovery & Aftercare.

Treatment times vary depending on the procedure and number of areas being treated, although many facial aesthetics appointments are relatively short. Some treatments require little downtime, but temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising can occur.

Before you leave, we will provide appropriate aftercare advice and explain when you can expect to see your results, how long they may last and whether a review or future maintenance treatment may be recommended.

Why Choose a Dental Practice for Facial Aesthetics?

Dental professionals have extensive knowledge of the anatomy of the face, mouth and jaws. Our clinicians routinely work with facial muscles, nerves and surrounding structures and understand the relationship between your teeth, smile, lips, jaw and overall facial proportions.

Providing facial aesthetics within a clinical dental environment allows us to take a considered approach to treatment planning, with patient safety, facial anatomy and natural-looking results at the centre of your care.

Facial Aesthetics for Jaw Grinding.

We offer botox injections in the masseter muscle to reduce the effects of bruxism, and its impact on your life. Jaw grinding can cause a variety of complications including jaw degradation, headaches, insomnia, joint pain and ear aches that you don’t have to live with if you are given the right treatment. 


Botulinum toxin is a safe option for managing these symptoms. Controlled injections will relax the muscles responsible and vastly improve your quality of life. Our aesthetics dentists will discuss this with you as an option when you visit to discuss treatment. 

Anti-Wrinkle Injections.

Anti-wrinkle treatments minimise the signs of ageing by relaxing the muscles in the face that are responsible for expression lines like smile lines, frown lines and crow's feet. 


Our team listens carefully to your concerns about premature signs of ageing and create together a personalised care plan to address them.

Dermal Fillers.

Choosing between dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections depends on the final result you are searching for. If you wish to remove the signs of ageing, then anti-wrinkle treatments are ideal. However, if you wish to enhance your features or restore lost volume, then dermal fillers are more appropriate. 


Dermal filler treatments involve injecting small quantities of hyaluronic acid (HA) into the facial muscles. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin responsible for hydrating tissues. It has many cosmetic purposes that we are happy to discuss with you when creating your treatment plan.


Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Aesthetics.

  • 1. How long do facial aesthetics results last?

    How long results last depends on the treatment provided, the area treated and how your individual body responds. Some treatments may last several months, while others can last longer. Your clinician will explain the expected longevity of your chosen treatment and discuss whether maintenance appointments may be appropriate.

  • 2. Will facial aesthetics make me look unnatural?

    Our approach is focused on subtle, natural-looking results that complement your existing facial features. Treatment is carefully planned around your individual facial anatomy and proportions rather than trying to dramatically change how you look.

  • 3. Am I suitable for facial aesthetics treatment?

    Not every treatment is suitable for every patient. Suitability can depend on factors including your medical history, medications, previous treatments and what you would like to achieve. A consultation allows your clinician to assess these factors and advise whether treatment is appropriate for you.

  • 4. Can I combine facial aesthetics with cosmetic dental treatment?

    Yes, depending on your individual needs. Facial aesthetics can sometimes complement treatments such as teeth whitening, composite bonding, veneers or other cosmetic dentistry by considering your smile alongside the surrounding facial features. If you are interested in both, we can discuss how treatments could be planned together to achieve a balanced overall result.

  • 5. What age should I consider facial aesthetics treatment?

    There is no single “right” age to consider facial aesthetics. Treatment should be based on your individual concerns, facial anatomy and what you would like to achieve rather than your age alone. Some patients may wish to address early signs of ageing, while others seek treatment later to soften existing lines or restore lost facial volume. Your clinician can advise whether treatment is appropriate and discuss realistic options based on your individual needs.
