Should I get dental implants before or after my breast augmentation?

Emma.LNov 18, 2016
My ba is set on january 16th; meanwhile id like to complete as much dental work as possible. Ive just had a root canal and still have to get my wisdom teeth extracted and either a bridge or an implant to replace a missing lower molar.

My dentist says that this is ok and that the only thing that would cause harm to the breast implant would be an infection, nothing else.
