Northwoods Dentistry in Phillips, Wisconsin is the first and only dentist in the state to offer Emface, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive technology designed to provide effective relief for patients experiencing TMJ pain and jaw tension. The treatment uses gentle electrical pulses and soothing heat to improve blood flow, relax tense jaw muscles, and reduce TMJ-related discomfort. Emface also has aesthetic benefits, as it strengthens facial muscles, smooths fine lines, and tightens skin.

Why it matters

TMJ disorders can cause significant pain and discomfort, impacting a person's quality of life. Emface represents a major advancement in treating TMJ issues without invasive procedures or downtime. By offering this innovative treatment, Northwoods Dentistry is expanding access to effective TMJ relief for the local community.

The details

Emface treatments take just 20 minutes and involve no needles or surgery. A series of four treatments is recommended for best results. When paired with EXION, another advanced skincare treatment offered by Northwoods Dentistry, the treatment further enhances results by stimulating the body's natural production of hyaluronic acid, promoting healthier, more hydrated skin.

  • Northwoods Dentistry will host a complimentary launch party for Emface and EXION on Thursday, March 5, 2026 from 12:00-6:00 p.m. at their Phillips location.
