Before You Travel
Before traveling to Santo Domingo, we recommend completing an online dental evaluation so our team can review your dental concerns, photographs, X-rays, or other available records and develop a preliminary treatment plan. Our international patient coordinator can help you plan your appointments, estimated treatment timeline, transportation, and accommodation in the Dominican Republic. This allows you to better understand your proposed dental treatment before arriving at our office.
How Long Should I Stay in the Dominican Republic?
The length of your stay depends on the type and complexity of your dental treatment. Some procedures may require a short visit, while dental implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, and other complex treatments may require multiple appointments and additional healing time. Before you travel, we will discuss the anticipated number of appointments and estimated treatment timeline based on your individual case.
Dental Treatment Costs
Dental treatment costs in the Dominican Republic may be lower than comparable treatment costs in the United States or Canada, depending on the procedure and individual treatment plan. Jose Alonso DDS provides estimated fees for commonly requested dental treatments. Final costs depend on your diagnosis, treatment plan, materials, and any additional procedures that may be clinically necessary. An online dental evaluation can help international patients understand their potential treatment needs and estimated costs before traveling.
What Happens After I Return Home?
Before completing your treatment, we will provide information about recommended care, maintenance, and follow-up. For patients who return to the United States or another country after treatment, maintaining regular dental examinations and following the recommended maintenance schedule are important for the long-term health of your teeth, gums, implants, and restorations. If additional clinical care is required after you return home, we recommend coordinating with your local dentist when appropriate and maintaining communication with our office.
