Can I go through treatments of ultrasonic cavitation if I have dental implants?

May 16, 2016
Asked By:shygirl900 in Chicago, IL

I have a dental implant (titanium alloy I think) in my mouth. I was wondering if I could still go through treatments of ultrasonic cavitation on my stomach area. Would it be safe since the metal is so far away from the treatment area? Ive read that its unsafe to have it done with any metal inside of you. So now I am confused. Please help! Thank you.
