Is it okay to get a filling and a temporary crown 10 days after dermal filler?

Question

I have a dental appointment on Saturday which will be 10 days after dermal filler injections around my lip and nasal fold area. My provider told me to wait 10 days but I now see that most people are told to wait 2 weeks. I'm now scared that dental work will affect the filler results or cause infection.

Patricia Moezinia, DDS · Answer

If you can wait until two weeks, it would be better, to allow the filling material to be more stable and to avoid the possibility of migration of the material due to forces in the labial position, although this is very unlikely to occur. If it is a dental emergency, you can proceed to fix the emergency, but if you can postpone the appointment until the two weeks have passed it would be best. Dr. Patricia Moezinia, a specialist in dental esthetics, will be in charge of guiding you to the best treatment plan.
