Dental Crowns Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

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.

I had 360 liposuction surgery. The surgery was seamless and Dr. Polanco and staff simply amazing.

I had extensive work done at Denstetica: A re-do of a root canal, opening the gums, scraping bone to remove infection that had spread, removal of a temporary crown to prep for a new crown, two molar implants with a temporary and in three months I will go back for my permanent crowns (five altogether). I also had a deep cleaning and fluoride treatment. There is no way I could ever afford to have all this work done in the United States (which is why I was putting it off in the first place). I wish I had done this long ago! Wow! I have never had this kind of experience at any doctor, dentist or any other provider I have encountered in all my years. The doctors, technician were all extraordinarily professional, kind and knowledgeable. They took care of me like family from the minute I booked the procedures back in the US. They arranged for an English-speaking driver to chauffeur me back and forth to appointments, the pharmacy, meals and even sightseeing and shopping. They completely went above and beyond my expectations. Dental work is not fun - let's face it. Especially the things I had to have done. Never was I uncomfortable or unsure. The confidence level and professionalism are just unmatched at Denstetica. I would recommend this practice to anyone who has any work to be done. The price is less than 1/4 of what I would have paid in the US for all the work I had done, including my flight and accommodations. Most importantly, though, is the treatment I received as a patient and a human being. I cannot express enough how wonderful everyone was to me. I am very thankful, from the bottom of my heart. I cannot wait to come back, finish up my permanent crowns and see the finished product. Many thanks, Dr Pena, Dr Bonilla, Dr Sarnelli and your assistant, who always made sure I was 100% comfortable and remembered my Netflix program. (I'm sorry I forgot her name!) See you all soon!

My mother has sadly neglected her teeth for decades because of money, and so after many years of saving, I have brought her to Santo Domingo to make up for a lifetime of no smiles. Dr. Nova and his team (Karina, Paula, Dra. Aponte) are all incredible; smart, kind, and efficient. My mother is having ceramic veneers, a root canal, partial dentures, and a vast number of fillings replaced in addition to deep bleaching and cleaning. Responsive and timely. Dr. Nova rearranged his schedule for us due to our limited time in the country, and has been so patient and kind with my mother. His English is great, and communication is no problem at all.
