At Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry & Smile Design, we’re proud to introduce EMFACE — the first technology that directly supports both the functional and aesthetic aspects of TMJ health.Using advanced radiofrequency and targeted facial stimulation, EMFACE relaxes overactive muscles, reduces jaw tension, improves circulation, and promotes natural tissue recovery — all without downtime, injections, or surgery.
For patients struggling with TMJ issues, clenching, grinding, facial tightness, or chronic jaw fatigue, EMFACE offers a modern solution that aligns perfectly with our Biomimetic Dentistry philosophy and commitment to Bio-emulation.
Why EMFACE Is a Game-Changer for TMJ Care
EMFACE is more than an aesthetic treatment — it’s a functional therapy that enhances how your muscles move, rest, and recover.
Benefits for TMJ Patients
Relaxes overworked jaw muscles
Reduces facial and jaw tension from clenching & grinding
Supports healing when combined with nightguards or Invisalign®
Helps reduce headaches related to muscle overuse
Improves symmetry and balanced muscle function
Enhances overall facial comfort and mobility
Non-invasive, gentle, and comfortable
No needles, no downtime
EMFACE works deeper than traditional TMJ therapies — reaching tissues and muscle layers that are difficult to treat manually.
A Perfect Fit for Biomimetic Dentistry & Facial Harmony
Our approach is rooted in Bio-emulation — restoring natural movement, function, and aesthetics without invasive procedures. EMFACE complements that philosophy by supporting the muscles that surround your teeth, jaw, and facial structures.
It integrates beautifully with:
Biomimetic Smile Makeover™
Non-Invasive Reconstructions & Fillings
Tooth Bonding
Inlays & Onlays
Porcelain Veneers
Invisalign®
TMJ Issues & Nightguard Therapy
Laser Gum Reshaping
Relaxed muscles = better bite balance; better smile symmetry; better long-term stability for restorations; more comfortable TMJ function.
How EMFACE Works
EMFACE combines two powerful technologies:
1. Advanced, Focused Radiofrequency
Improves tissue hydration, circulation, and recovery.
2. Targeted Facial Stimulation
Retrains muscles, reduces hyperactivity, and promotes balanced function.
Together, these modalities relieve tension and restore natural movement patterns — promoting a healthier TMJ system and a more relaxed facial appearance.

EMFACE for Aesthetics + Function
Though EMFACE was designed to improve facial tone and contour, it has quickly become a favorite among TMJ patients because it:
Softens overworked jaw muscles
Reduces clenching intensity
Makes nightguards more effective
Enhances posture of the facial muscles
Promotes natural symmetry
This creates a healthier foundation for any smile enhancement, including a Biomimetic Smile Makeover™ or cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers.

EMFACE is ideal for patients who experience:

How EMFACE® Supports Facial Muscles, Skin Health, and TMJ Comfort
Your facial expressions—the way you smile, frown, or show emotion—are driven by more than 30 interconnected muscles just beneath the skin. Over time, these muscles naturally weaken, and the skin above them begins to lose tone and elasticity. Imbalances in facial muscle activity can also contribute to jaw tension and TMJ-related discomfort.
EMFACE® targets key facial muscles using HIFES™ technology combined with synchronized radiofrequency (RF). This dual-action approach helps restore natural muscle tone, improve skin elasticity, and rebalance facial contours—all without needles, surgery, or downtime. By strengthening and rebalancing facial muscles, EMFACE® may also support patients experiencing TMJ issues, jaw fatigue, or muscle-related tension by promoting healthier muscle function.
Clinical studies have shown a 30% increase in muscle tone, a 37% reduction in wrinkles, and significant improvements in collagen (+30%) and elastin (+103%), contributing to a more lifted, refreshed, and naturally balanced appearance.

I had an amazing experience with EMFACE at Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry!After struggling with jaw tension I felt noticeable relief after just one session! The treatment was comfortable, non-invasive, and left my face feeling lighter and more balanced. By the end of my series, my jaw tension had significantly improved, and I could see a natural lift and better muscle symmetry. I highly recommend EMFACE at Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry on the Upper East Side to anyone looking for a gentle and effective way to ease tension and refresh their facial appearance.

I am absolutely blown away by Dr. Lazare’s work. His precision and patience were incredible. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure to preserve as much of my natural tooth structure as possible. If you’re looking for top-quality dental care, Dr. Lazare is the person to see. Highly recommended!

I’ve been going to Dr. Fay for a while now and I can genuinely say she’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. She guided me through Invisalign and some cosmetic work that made a huge difference in my smile. What I really appreciate is how careful and thorough she is—she actually takes time to explain what she’s doing, and is proactive when it comes to dental care. The whole experience feels professional, honest, and comfortable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their smile or just have a dentist they can trust.
