I am having 3 dental implants placed, and I am also having a paranasal implant, and manibular implants. Should I do dental implants first? How long should I wait between procedures, and healing? I am not having the mandibular implant and paranasal implants placed at the same time. Is 3 months long enough between procedures?

Answer: Dental Implants first and than Cosmetic Work
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!

Answer: Timing of dental implants vs other facial implants
Depending on the location of the dental imlants, it may not make much difference which comes first. However, I agree with other clinicians that two to three months of healing is more than adequate from implant surgery and to allow any potential swelling to subside before facial implants surgery. If the implants are done in a non-iinvasive fashion, then you may not have any swelling at all and the time in between can be even less. A discussion between your surgeons is a good idea.
