FAIRFIELD, NJ--(Marketwire - Sep 11, 2012) - Dr. Jerry Strauss, a cosmetic dentist in New Jersey, recently received certification for performing BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers following completion of a two-day course at Englewood Hospital. With recent statistics reporting that the total number of cosmetic minimally invasive procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic increased by six percent in just the past year, Dr. Strauss says many patients have been requesting the procedure at his practice, either in support of a smile transformation or simply as a way to maintain their vibrant and youthful appearance. He says he is excited to have completed the course and looks forward to being able to offer his patients even more cosmetic procedures for effectively restoring their confidence.

At his New Jersey cosmetic dentistry practice, Aesthetic Dental Care of New Jersey, Dr. Strauss focuses on a wide variety of procedures ranging from porcelain veneers and dental implants to TMJ treatment and sedation dentistry. Because of its ability to reduce fine lines and smooth out wrinkles, he says BOTOX® Cosmetic has become a popular option for patients looking to improve their smile, as well as their overall facial aesthetics. Dr. Strauss says he typically combines the procedure with a smile makeover in order to address several patient concerns and create a natural, vibrant result.

"BOTOX® and other dermal fillers allow us to complete smile makeovers and facial transformations," says Dr. Strauss. "As an adjunct procedure, they put the finishing touches on a procedure by taking patients' results to another level."

Also having received certification to perform dermal fillers such as Restylane® and Perlane® through the course, Dr. Strauss says his recent accomplishment opens up endless doors for creating beautiful smiles and helping his patients look as young as they feel. He says dentists have a unique understanding of facial structure, as well as the administration of anesthesia, so their experience lends itself naturally to performing dermal injections.

"Patients know that cosmetics are our main focus," he says. "So when they are looking to treat localized facial issues, they know we've been helping them for years, so we already have an intimate knowledge of their goals and what they want to look like."

For patients looking for BOTOX® in New Jersey, Dr. Strauss says he urges anyone considering treatment to consult with an experienced and qualified professional before undergoing a procedure. He says choosing the right practice can help ensure patients receive the highest quality care and the most effective results. By taking the time to select a dedicated cosmetic dentist for their dermal fillers, Dr. Strauss says patients can enjoy the benefits of an enhanced, rejuvenated appearance.
