How Long After Nose Job Can I Get Dental Work Done?

Question

I want to have a nose job and a week after I want to have crowns and veneers done. Is it enough time after the surgery to have the dental work done?

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.

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.

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.
