Dermal Fillers – Colchester, VT
Get Rid of Wrinkles, Elevate Your Smile & Revitalize Your Look
Dermal fillers, including lip and cheek enhancements, naturally complement dental care because they help restore balance and harmony to the lower face—the same area influenced by your teeth, bite, and smile. After dental treatments such as orthodontics, veneers, or smile makeovers, fillers can refine the overall result by supporting facial structure, replacing lost volume, and enhancing symmetry. In the lips, fillers can define shape and proportion, creating a more youthful and natural frame for the teeth. Cheek fillers, on the other hand, help lift and support the midface, reducing the appearance of smile lines and improving facial balance. Together, these treatments bridge the gap between oral health and facial aesthetics, ensuring your smile looks beautiful, balanced, and confident from every angle.
How do Dermal Fillers work?
We typically lose volume as we age, and dermal fillers help restore this by adding water under the skin in the dermis (hence the term ‘dermal’ filler). Adding volume helps the skin appear smoother and clearer. Lips, cheeks and nasolabial lines are some of the areas we can treat!

What Are Dermal Fillers?
Though both BOTOX® and dermal fillers involve injections, their purposes are quite different. While BOTOX® relaxes overactive muscles to reduce wrinkles and tension, dermal fillers are designed to restore volume beneath the skin. They use a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that attracts and retains water, helping to plump and hydrate the treated area. As we age, collagen levels decrease, leading to wrinkles, sunken skin, and reduced elasticity. In dentistry, dermal fillers—especially in the lips and cheeks—can enhance the results of smile makeovers, orthodontic treatment, or restorative work by improving facial balance, symmetry, and overall harmony. Additionally, fillers may stimulate collagen production, supporting a more youthful, refreshed appearance, with results that are immediate and natural-looking.
