Dental Crowns Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

I had a root canal, filling and tooth cleaning. I’m 50 and in my whole life, Dr. Frank Acusto is the best dentist. He is very professional, a caring dentist, a great person, he takes pride in his work and his patients.

In my late 30s I had 3 dental implants of molars done to replace missing and cracked original teeth. Starting in my early 60s, I started to lose the implants and other teeth due to looseness caused by deteriorating bone density. My dental health otherwise was good. Early last year, 2015, when I was 69, I finally decided to do something about my progressive endentulation for two primary reasons. First, it was getting more difficult and uncomfortable to chew food. Second, missing teeth gaps were visible when I smiled or laughed, making me feel self-conscious and embarrassed. My US dentist analyzed my situation, took panoramic xrays, and drew up a detailed program for an extensive restoration that would result in a solid bite and improved appearance. His recommendations included sinus surgeries to increase the size of the sinus chambers; bone grafting to harden the molar ridges upper and lower; 3 extractions, 3 root canals, 8 implants, 8 crowns. If he had done the work in the US the cost would have been around $60,000, only a very small part of which was covered by my dental insurance. With his guidance, we found WhatClinic.com and sent out a detailed request for proposal and included photos, panoramic X-Rays, and my doctor's detailed and exhaustive prognosis and recommendations. Dr. Jepssy Beltre from Clinica Odontocare in Santo Domingo in the Dominican REPUBLIC was among the fastest to reply and asked lots of good questions and even called me to discuss my needs and wants in detail. He impressed me with his professionalism, knowledge, and his concerned, empathetic attitude. Even though his pricing proposal was not the lowest I received I picked him because of his proven expertise and positive, can-do attitude. Great experience! Dr. Beltre combines knowledge, experience, state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and compassion. He also regards his patient as his co-equal and solicited my opinions all along the way. Over the six months I was under his care I felt I'd gained a true friend, not just a highly competent dental professional. I plan to engage Dr. Beltre"s services again next year for another project involving capping and veneering.

We came from miami to do veneers w/ Dr. Peña and we loved the finish results! Can't tell you how beautiful they turned out! Dr. Peña and his team got us a new smile we never dreamed could be possible. Very clean. Staff is extremely welcoming and attentive. The Dr. was very responsive. Great atmosphere.
