Dental Crowns Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Dr. Juan Torres was very helpful upon my arrival in D.R. He had a driver pick me up at the airport and take me to my hotel close to his office. He suggests places for me to get a bite to eat. During the process, he was very thorough and always looked to find perfection in my procedure for veneers. I strongly suggest him. Everyone was super friendly and work very hard. I never waited longer than 10 minutes for my appointment.

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.

It was an outstanding experience from here. The treatment performed by Dr. Alonso with so care. I'm so impressed by their professionalism and expertise. He performed three implants, and he did them brilliantly. He made me comfortable before performing the implantation. I'm glad that I came to him for the implantation. I must recommend Dr. Alonso.
