Why Dentists Are Adding Dermal Fillers

Your dental training in oral and maxillofacial anatomy, combined with thousands of injection experiences, makes you exceptionally qualified for facial aesthetic procedures.

  • Anatomical Expertise: Your deep knowledge of facial vasculature, nerve pathways, and perioral structures provides a superior foundation for safe filler administration.
  • Complement Smile Design: Enhance smile makeovers with lip augmentation and perioral rejuvenation. Address nasolabial folds and marionette lines alongside dental work.
  • Patient Convenience: Your existing patients already trust you with their smile. Many would welcome aesthetic services without visiting a separate provider.
  • Revenue Growth: Add high-margin services to your practice. Filler treatments generate $600-900+ per syringe with excellent profit margins.
  • Injection Experience: You've performed thousands of precise injections with local anesthesia. This skill transfers directly to aesthetic filler placement.

FAQ

Filler Training FAQ for Dentists

Common questions about dermal filler training for dental professionals.

In most states, yes. Dentists (DDS/DMD) can administer dermal fillers within their scope of practice, particularly for the perioral region and lower face. However, regulations vary significantly by state. Some states fully embrace dental aesthetics, while others have restrictions on treatment areas or require additional certification. Always verify with your state dental board before offering services.
Dentists have exceptional qualifications for facial injectables: extensive training in oral and maxillofacial anatomy, thousands of precise injection experiences with local anesthesia, understanding of facial nerve distribution and vasculature, and established patient relationships built on trust. Your perioral expertise is particularly valuable for lip enhancement and nasolabial fold treatment.
Dermal fillers naturally enhance comprehensive smile design. When patients invest in veneers, whitening, or smile makeovers, they often want to address perioral wrinkles, thin lips, or nasolabial folds at the same time. Offering fillers allows you to provide complete facial rejuvenation from one trusted provider, increasing patient satisfaction and practice revenue.
Level 1 training covers nasolabial folds, marionette lines, oral commissures, and lower face volume loss—the foundational treatment areas. These directly complement dental services and fall clearly within dental scope in most states. Lip augmentation techniques are also covered. Advanced training (available after Level 1) includes cheeks, chin contouring, and jawline definition.
Most dental malpractice carriers offer coverage for aesthetic procedures when performed within your scope of practice and with proper training documentation. Contact your insurance carrier before offering services to confirm coverage and any additional requirements. Your AAOPM Certificate of Completion provides the training documentation insurers typically require.
Yes! Many dentists take both courses on the same day—Botox in the morning for wrinkle reduction and masticatory muscle treatment, Dermal Fillers in the afternoon for volume restoration. This comprehensive training allows you to offer complete facial rejuvenation services. We offer bundled pricing for combined certification.
