Dental Implants First or After Facial Implants?

3 months are typically a sufficient amount of time to wait between procedures. However, the dental procedures commonly require more than one procedure. I would recommend meeting with your oral surgeon first to have a better understanding of the steps involved . 

As a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, I will perform both procedures at the same time. In my OR, you are treated as any hospital case and everything is completely sterile. I will usually place the MANDIBULAR and para nasal implants first, then the dental implants after a thorough intraoral rinse and swab with antibacterials. If you don't have the luxury of having someone who has the training in both, then do the facial implants first and wait at least 6 weeks to have the implants. Make sure your see board certifiied surgeons for both parts for the best outcome!!

I would always recommend that the cosmetic dentistry be done first and than have the cosmetic facial surgery after. The reason being, sometimes after mulitiple dental implants, you will find a more attractive smile and your face make look much younger.. Often times, you will decide that you like what you see and may not want to do any serious cosmetic work. Maybe a little botox and some derma fillers around the mouth and the eyes will do the trick. True, it is not a permanent cosmetic procedure, but they are much less expensive and non invasive.  I would try this route rather than all of the surgery first.

Sometimes implants, veneers, and botox can change your entire smile and face! 

Between procedures, you need to wait until the implants have healed and all swelling is gone ....a few months depending on how many implants and how complicated the case turns out to be.  Good luck and enjoy your new smile!
