What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injections that help diminish lines and wrinkles in the face and help restore volume and fullness. As we age, our faces naturally lose elasticity and subcutaneous fat. Our facial skin also stretches, which adds to the loss of volume. Dermal fillers were designed to help reverse this process.
Why Get Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a great treatment option for anyone who wants to add volume to their lips, cheeks, around the mouth, and to treat dental-related complications. As experts of the mouth and face, our doctors can safely and effectively provide you with this facial aesthetic treatment.
Our fillers are injected right under the skin to plump up these areas to reduce the appearance of lines and signs of aging. Learn more about why our office is a great place to receive this treatment.
Using Fillers in Dentistry
Our dentists use dermal fillers to help high lip line cases, uneven lips, and make the peri-oral area more esthetic. This can benefit our patients by making them feel more confident in their appearance as well as boost their happiness.
Drs. Cortes and Prieto will inject fillers right under the skin to “plump up” the targeted areas, making them appear fuller than ever. The treatment typically lasts between 6 and 18 months. It helps reduce wrinkles, improves lip lines, and illuminates your skin, adding an alluring dimension to your face.
Ideal Candidates for Dermal Fillers
There’s a lot of stigma surrounding injectable treatments. But the truth is, they’re extremely common, and anyone who wants to improve their appearance is a good candidate. Being a non-smoker and being committed to taking care of your skin will increase your odds of success with the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are dermal fillers used in dentistry?
Dermal fillers are used in dentistry to help plump up the skin around the mouth, in the lips, or in the cheeks. Your fillers may be made of hyaluronic acids, such as Juvederm® or Restylane, or calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, like Radiesse®.
These fillers help treat oral complications such as high lip line cases, uneven lips, and to make the peri-oral area more esthetic. Additionally, our dentists are trained to provide these aesthetics safely and comfortably to our patients, especially as professionals of the face.
How long do fillers in the face last?
The amount of time that your treatment lasts varies depending on the type of fillers used. Some dermal fillers can last as little as six months or as long as five years, but again, this isn’t the case for everyone.
When you visit our Davie office for facial fillers, Drs. Cortes and Prieto can provide you with an accurate treatment plan and an estimate on how long they will last in your desired area.
How long does it take fillers to settle?
While you may start to see results within a few days of your injections, it typically takes about two weeks for fillers to fully settle. This depends on the brand and the amount you use, but two weeks is standard.
Are dermal fillers in the face safe?
Yes! They offer a safe treatment for our patients to help enhance their natural facial appearance. Like any procedure, there’s a possibility of experiencing side effects or allergic reactions.
The most common problems associated with dermal fillers are skin rashes, itching, acne breakouts, redness, bruising, bleeding, or swelling. However, these aren’t likely to occur for most of our patients and many say they have an easy, comfortable recovery.
Can I go to the dentist after I get fillers?
We recommend waiting on coming back to our dental office for any procedure for the first two weeks after receiving your dental fillers. We don’t want you to risk any complications with your mouth or needing new fillers if you come back too soon.
Don’t visit the dentist or have a colonoscopy for 2 weeks before and after your filler treatment. Attempt to schedule your filler treatment 2 weeks before any special events to allow for possible bruising, swelling, and/or redness to subside.
