Dental Work after Rhinoplasty

I recommend waiting 3-4 weeks after your rhinoplasty to have significant dental work. Your dentist will not have to worry about putting pressure on your lips, nose and midface during his surgery.

After nose job can I get dental work done

Great question. Unless it is a true dental emergency, I recommend to wait at least 6 weeks. This allows 80% healing of the nasal structures. From MIAMI Dr. B

Hi, It would be better to give yourself a little more time after your rhinoplasty before having your dentist manipulate your mouth, lip, and nasal tip. About 2 to 3 weeks after your surgery should be fine. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

I was told by my dentist in Victoria BC that I should wait at least 6 weeks before having any work done. It will give you enough time to heal and be able to stand the pressure.
