Can I have ultherapy if I nave tooth implants?

Question

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

Your tooth implants should not affect your ability to have Ultherapy.  I would make sure that your provider use more superficial depths when treating the area of your implants.

Mary Beth Luca, DO, FAOCD · Answer

Ultherapy treatments should not have any affect on your dental implants.  It can be said, however, that you may experience a temporary increase in sensitivity when receiving the ultrasound directly over the implants.  Be sure to notify your Ultherapist for the best possible treatment.

Robert S. Bader, MD, FAAD · Answer

Tooth implants are unaffected by Ultherapy. It would be nearly impossible for the ultrasound energy to go deep enough to affect them in any way.

Carlos Burnett, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes. Dental implants are not a contraindication for the use of Ultherapy. Ultrasound waves will not effect the integrity of the implant. You may experience some increased sensitivity when energy lines are delivered directly over the implant. Good luck. Dr. Burnett

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.When we first started doing Ultherapy in 2011, we recommended that they avoid areas over implants.Since that time, we have gained experience and have performed Ultherapy over those areas knowing full well that the energy source will not go that deep and that it is perfectly safe. Make sure you let the physician know that you have dental implants before the procedure. Best,Dr. Karamanoukian
