If I Have Sensitive Teeth Will Ultherapy Be Painful to my Teeth?

These are all viable concerns and our office usually places a small piece of wet gauze to avoid any potential problems.  Good luck with the Ultherapy session. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

I haven't noticed more pain with Ultherapy facial skin tightening and lifting in my NYC practice on patients with gum recession or with a history of dental cold or air movement sensitivity. However, we do think that some patients who exhibit more pain reception in certain spots of the mid cheek, have more dental fillings than other patients. Sometimes we're able to make these patients more comfortable by inserting gauze between their teeth and cheek as a buffer during the Ultherapy treatment.

Ultherapy only reaches up to 4mm depth into the skin so there should have no impact on your teeth. If you are especially concerned, let your provider know you have touchy teeth and he/she can always avoid any areas you designate.
