Can you please advise on Morpheus8 and dental implant in a molar?

Question

I have one dental implant in a molar. Some say that's a contraindication for getting Morpheus8 facial treatments. Others say you can cover the tooth with gauze and just avoid that area. I'd like to get the procedure but not at the expense of burning my cheek. Please advise. Thank you.

Morpheus is similar in energy stimulation to MRI. The concern with MRI and dental implants has come up in the past and appears not to be much of a concern. It only generated ~ 1* temperature increase. Morpheus only goes up to 4mm skin deep. If you have any concerns you can put a small piece of gauze separating your tooth and cheek. Good luck with your treatment. The results should be fabulous.

Hi,I recommend you see a provider who is an expert to assess you and check your facial anatomy and the dental work you got done. How long ago was the implant? Yes, it’s Common to cover the implanted dental area with gauze and safely treat around it.
