Dentistry has seen numerous paradigm shifts over the past 100 years, but perhaps the most dramatic has been the transition from treating oral diseases to prevention and esthetics. Minimally invasive injectable esthetic treatments have become a popular treatment choice in our society. This paper reviews some of the most common injectable aesthetic treatments with an emphasis on dental-related applications. Over the past 30 years, dentistry and its specialties have progressively embraced cosmetic techniques; the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery now includes cosmetic facial surgery. The safe and effective administration of injectable fillers and neurotoxins requires a command of head and neck anatomy and physiology, pain control, and injection expertise, which puts dentistry in an optimal position for providing these treatments.
