I am putting off Dental work as I am saving for fillers. I am wondering would it be a problem if I got dental work soon after dermal fillers? Would I have to tell my dentist? Also, will dermal filler upset any nerves that go to my damaged teeth and cause pain to my teeth? Please help

Dental work first or facial cosmetic treatment

Major cosmetic surgery should usually be preceeded by dental work as the teeth are like the framing of a house. This needs to be solid before the finish work is done. But fillers aren't so major that it matters much which is first. You'll have to repeat the fillers later anyway.

Dental work and facial fillers

Major dental work can effect the shape of the face and change where filler will ultimately be placed. I would recommend that you do the dental work first and then the filler.
