At Dr Emma Clinics, we treat teeth grinding, or bruxism, by using targeted injections into the masseter muscles. These injections work to relax the muscles, temporarily reducing clenching and grinding. This treatment not only relieves tension and prevents damage to the teeth but also helps reduce the size of the masseter muscles, which can widen the face due to overuse. As a result, this treatment can also achieve a more streamlined facial appearance. The same injectables used for masseter reductions are applied for both functional and cosmetic benefits.
As part of our clinic policy, all new patients receiving aesthetic or skin treatments must undergo a skin scan. Please arrive makeup-free to ensure an accurate assessment and personalised treatment plan.
A £50 deposit is required to secure your appointment, which may be redeemable against treatments or products, depending on the booking. Deposits are non-refundable.
For cancellations or changes, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice to retain your deposit. No-shows or late changes will require a new deposit.

Results are typically visible within 1-2 weeks as the masseter muscles begin to relax, providing relief from grinding and reducing jaw tension.
The effects of the injections typically last between 3-6 months, after which a follow-up treatment may be required to maintain results.
