Because they spend years studying facial anatomy and proportions dentists have a keen eye and a trained hand for delivering excellent skin treatments and enhancement. Not only can Lorna- our in-house skin specialist- help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, she can improve “gummy” smiles and treat excessive sweating.
LORNA DYSART BMSC, BDS, MFDS, DIP CLIN ED
DENTIST - GDC NO: 74817
Lorna graduated from Dundee Dental School in 1998.
She first worked in General Practice in Fife, Scotland before progressing to The Edinburgh Dental Institute in 2002 where she gained Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
In 2004, Lorna and her Scottish husband (David), moved to Northern Ireland where she quickly became a familiar face at Causeway Dental. Having gained a Diploma in Clinical Education at the School of Dentistry in Belfast as a Clinical Teaching Fellow, Lorna also plays a lead role in the teaching of all Queens University dental students.
Lorna continues to work in her clinical teaching role and we are delighted that she also leads our Facial Rejuvenation Clinic here at Causeway. Her wealth of clinical experience means her patients are in the best of hands!
When she’s not busy at work, Lorna enjoys cooking, gardening, Pilates and looking after David and their children.

Not only do our Facial Aesthetics help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin, Lorna’s experience and skills mean they’re incredibly safe and effective.
Wrinkles are caused by the contractions of muscles beneath your skin’s surface. They are a perfectly normal part of life- but that doesn’t mean you can’t fight back!
Lorna is trained to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles- especially those between the eyes (frown lines), on your forehead, and next to your eyes (crow’s feet)- for as long as 6 months with only one treatment.
She’ll discuss the best ways to tighten and firm your skin- as safely as possible- for the best possible results.
There’s no official definition of a “gummy smile” (or excessive gingival display) but essentially it’s when a large amount of gum tissue shows above the top teeth when you speak or smile.
Though a gummy smile is perfectly natural, it can make many people feel self-conscious and affect how they relate to others.
At Causeway Dental we have a simple procedure that will effectively stop your lip muscles from lifting too high, giving you the gorgeous smile you’ve always dreamed of!
Contact Causeway Dental and we’ll be happy to answer all your questions about creating your perfect smile.
Masseter muscles are the large muscles on either side of your face. Habits such as grinding
and clenching (also known as bruxism) can cause the muscle to enlarge or hypertrophy.
Along with muscle enlargement, these habits can cause damage to teeth and dental work
and may be a cause of headaches.
By injecting small amounts of muscle relaxant directly into the masseter muscles, this
significantly relaxes the muscle, leading to a decrease in muscle activity. By reducing activity
in this muscle, there is a decrease in the ability to clench and grind your teeth. Each patient
will vary in the treatment required to help with bruxism and this will be discussed at your
consultation.

It’s perfectly normal and helps our bodies cool down naturally on hot summer days.
However, some people suffer from excessive sweating, even when the temperature is cool and comfortable.
Lorna can reduce the effects of hyperhidrosis by performing a special localised treatment tol help block the secretion of the chemicals responsible for activating the sweat glands.
The treatment is relatively fast and painless and the results can last up to 6 months.
If you feel excessive sweating is affecting your quality of life, this simple procedure could be a game changer- and it only takes a couple of minutes.
Say ‘No!’ to sweat and contact Causeway Dental today.
We’ll answer all your questions and see if our treatment is right for you.

ARE THE FACIAL AESTHETICS TREATMENTS PAINFUL?
No! Other than a slight tingling sensation during the procedure our treatments are nearly painless and take only a few minutes. We also use mini ice packs and numbing cream to ensure any discomfort is minimal. Many people can have treatment in the morning and happily return to work later that same day.
HOW LONG WILL THE EFFECTS OF SKIN TIGHTENING LAST?
The effects of the treatment usually become visible in three to five days and reach their peak in 14 days. This enhanced effect will last from three to six months and if you want to keep your new and improved look, simply repeat the procedure. Keep in mind that if the treatment is repeated before the effect is completely gone, it will ultimately last longer.
IS THE PROCEDURE SAFE FOR MEN?
Of course! The only difference is that men, because of their larger body mass, tend to require a larger dose for an additional cost of £25.
WILL MY FACE LOOK FROZEN?
We prefer the “less is more” approach to ensure you get the results you want. We make it our best practice to see you again within two weeks of your treatment to see how things are going and will ‘top-up’ if we think it’s necessary.
WILL MY WRINKLES BE WORSE WHEN THE TREATMENT WEARS OFF?
No. In fact, what most people don’t know is muscle relaxants have both a therapeutic and preventative effect on wrinkles. What this means is even if you stop the treatment, and your wrinkles gradually reappear, they will be exactly as they were before you visited our skin clinic.
DOES THE ‘GUMMY SMILE’ TREATMENT HURT?
Generally speaking, you shouldn’t feel much pain at all during the procedure. Lorna has the skills and experience to achieve optimal results with very little discomfort. We can also use a topical numbing cream to reduce the risk of pain even more.
HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS LAST?
For most patients the effects of our ‘gummy smile’ treatment should last anywhere from 4 to 6 months. A good rule of thumb is to expect to have the treatment about three times per year to keep your new smile on a more permanent basis.
HOW LONG BEFORE I FEEL ‘NORMAL’ AFTER TREATMENT?
To help you on your recovery we will ask you to NOT rub or touch the treatment site for at least 6 hours, avoid exercise for the rest of the day (to reduce sweating), and NO lying down or leaning forward until the treatment has fully taken effect (usually after a few hours).
By following our post-treatment advice you should be enjoying normal life in nearly no time at all.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT OF HYPERHIDROSIS LAST?
Your new found dryness can last anywhere from 4 to 14 months. However, it’s not uncommon to have repeat treatments every 6 months or so for consistent results. Our treatment is simple, safe and effective so you can have the treatment as often as needed.
IS THE HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT PAINFUL?
No, not really. In fact, you shouldn’t feel much, if any, pain during the procedure. Lorna has the experience and skills to give you the best results with as little discomfort as possible. We can also use a topical numbing cream to reduce the risk of pain even more.
IS HYPERHIDROSIS COMMON?
Excessive sweating is fairly common and affects approximately two million people in the UK- or roughly three in every one hundred people. Hyperhidrosis can affect many different parts of the body including your underarms, the soles of your feet and palms of your hands, and can happen at any age. The important thing is to remember you’re not alone and we can help.
