I had a lower facelift and neck lift 4 weeks ago. Would going to the dentist after only 4 weeks be a problem?

I wondered if seeing the dentist for a cleaning and possible x-rays would create an issue due to the stretching of the jaw and holding the mouth open for a long period. I'd hate to do anything to compromise the results. Thank you for your help. :-)
