There are many cosmetic injecting courses for dentists in Australia. Our head educator is a dentist, so she has hands-on, real-life experience in the cosmetic injecting and dentistry space. Not only that, when you come to our cosmetic injecting course in Melbourne, you will visit our accredited dental practice and see how we integrate the business of cosmetic injectables with a dental practice.

The best cosmetic injecting course for dentists in Australia is not in a hotel, but based in an accredited dental practice and clinical environment. Our ethos is Safety through Anatomy, best Technique and best Product choices. This is the ATP approach. The most suitable cosmetic injecting course for dentists will also include advice on insurance, how to structure your appointment and what treatments you can do within your scope as a dentist.

At Dermal Distinction training academy, we offer a full pathway for cosmetic injecting courses for dentists. Most dentists start with the Level 1: Complete Lip Artistry, as lip filler is the most commonly requested cosmetic facial procedure. However this course is fully inclusive of botox techniques that compliment lip filler and add to the result.

Our educational content is thoughtfully created and structured to allow dentists to be successful in achieving predictable results - with little to no side effects. To do this, practitioners require a deep understanding of underlying anatomy, as well as a specific treatment and injection practices that provide the highest level of patient care. Both topics of botulinum toxin (Botox) and dermal fillers require ample anatomy-based instruction and clinical hands-on practice. It is not possible to obtain the depth of skill needed to be successful at both in a combined botox and dermal filler course. Our cosmetic injecting courses for dentists cover both the cosmetic uses of Botox, but also Botox for grinding. You can help preserve your patients teeth with our Dental Botox course for grinding.

YES! It is in the scope of practice for a dentist to use botox as part of your dental treatment. There are a number of cosmetic uses of anti-wrinkle treatment, and we will teach you to assess the face, identity areas that you can assist your patient with, and treat within the scope of being a dentist. Our Botox courses for dentists include treatment for grinding and clenching too. Botox treatments that you can learn as a dentist include:

Ideal candidates for anti-wrinkle injections are those who have dynamic wrinkles that are visible when their face is moving. For patient that have deeper, static wrinkles (which are present even when the face isn’t moving), they may require a combination of dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments to achieve the desired outcome, and we will teach you how to identify what will work best for different facial shapes. Your patients will benefit from you attending our Botox course for dentists.

There is significant overlap between aesthetic and therapeutic treatments. Therapeutic treatment can have aesthetic side effects and vice versa. A thorough understanding of how the two are related is required for effective and appropriate treatment. Our Botox course for dentists will teach you both the functional and cosmetic use to assist your patients.

Both therapeutic and aesthetic uses work synergistically for your patients. Precise anatomical placement and proper dosage is required in each case.

Frown treatment can assist in tension release for grinding and clenching patients, and facial slimming use of botox will also reduct wear and pressure on the teeth therapeutically.

To learn both cosmetic and therapeutic use of botox, Dentists should enrol in the Level A: Botulinum Toxin course.

Botox and dermal fillers combine with cosmetic dentistry to finesse and deliver the full result to the patient. Cosmetic dental restorations and orthodontic treatments can deliver great results, but may not be able to finalise the soft tissue conditions. Without cosmetic injectable treatments, you will be confined to intra oral treatments, relying on the patient to seek other practitioners to complete their cosmetic transformation. Our cosmetic injecting courses for dentists cover all uses of Botox and Dermal filler.

By undertaking cosmetic injectable training, not only do you control the dental and orthodontic components for the patient, but also the soft tissue draping. Many authors have traversed the divide between what was once in the domain of cosmetic doctors and cosmetic dentists, and have recognised that cosmetic injectors can be from a variety of educational and vocational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common; "Great results for all patients, safely".

We recommend that when using the title Cosmetic Injector you add your official dental title or post-nominals to make it clear what your qualifications are. Cosmetic injecting requires proper training, insurance and observing the guidelines and requirements of AHPRA. The risks must be explained to the patient, along with achieving consent in a face-to-face dental visit in your dental practice, no different to your usual daily dentistry activities.

To understand Dermal Distinction Training Academy's position here, let us look at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Dr Ken Loi, The NSW RACS committee chairman, said "titles such as 'cosmetic consultant' or 'practitioner' do not have the same impact as 'cosmetic surgeon': because the moment you mention surgery your mindset is already having surgery. But being a consultant or a practitioner you are not necessarily having surgery by a surgeon." Therefore the use of the descriptive title 'cosmetic injector' does not bear this weight of confusion to the patient, and there are no restrictions on the use of this title.

AHPRA have included the use of dermal filler and botulinum toxin in the documents for dentists. Throughout our cosmetic injecting courses for dentists, we will be clear in the use of Botox and filler for dentists. It is important that you continue to provide all the relevant examinations and provide information to patients when considering any treatment option, including botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. To read the fact sheet on botulinum toxin and dermal filler AHPRA documents, visit here.
You should use the AHPRA reflective practice tool when evaluating treatments that you perform within your scope of practice. This can be found here.

When considering learning new skills, you should investigate whether you can obtain insurance, and what support you will receive after training to ensure that you can remain competent in those procedures. We offer free mentorship following training to assist your cosmetic injecting journey.
