Is ultherapy safe if a person has porcelain crowns?

Question

Am concerned that the adhesive bonding of the crowns to bio teeth not be loosened.

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

Ultherapy is highly focused ultrasound for noninvasive skin lifting, and the focal depth is just under the skin. It should not have any effect on the teeth because the energy is absorbed in the skin.

Babak Azizzadeh, MD · Answer

Yes it is completely safe to have an Ulthera treatment if you have porcelain crowns because the energy is not strong enough to penetrate that far. However, if you are still concerned about it, we can place gauze in between your teeth and your cheek.

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

Ulthera works at a maximum depth of about 4.5 mm.  THis is not deep enough to affect your crowns.

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi Jesse. The energy from the Ultherapy device does not go deep enough to effect your crowns. You can safely proceed with Ultherapy. Good luck to you!
