Santo Domingo or Punta Cana for dental implants

Asenjo One Visit Dentistry in Punta Cana is associated with Dr. Miguel Asenjo. S.O.I. FACE in Santo Domingo is associated with Dr. Carlos José Contreras Columna. These are separate clinics. Ask which clinic would provide each service and who would collect each payment. A shared coordination contact does not answer those questions.

Dr. Asenjo publishes documents about his qualifications and training. They include the clinic’s operating authorization. He also appears on the scientific team of the manufacturer of the graphene-containing material. That relationship explains his connection to the product. It does not replace independent clinical outcomes for the complete treatment.

Dominican Dental Association sources list Dr. Contreras as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. That specialty addresses conditions involving the mouth, jaws, and face. His training should not be confused with the number of full-mouth treatments he has performed using a specific technique. Ask about both qualifications and relevant case experience.

Keep each doctor’s experience separate

Dr. Asenjo’s published restoration counts differ between pages. A restoration can be a crown, a covering that replaces the visible portion of one tooth. It is not the same as a full-mouth treatment. This guide therefore does not turn restoration counts into verified experience with complete-mouth cases.

Each professional’s number of full-mouth cases is to be confirmed. Whether Dr. Asenjo would operate on or supervise any Santo Domingo case is also to be confirmed. Shared professional activities do not establish participation in every surgery at the other clinic. Ask which person would take responsibility for each part of your proposal.

Request results from the doctor who would treat you. Ask how many cases used the proposed technique, how long they were followed, and which complications occurred. The answers may differ by location. Another team’s testimonials should not be used to fill a gap in one doctor’s documented experience.

The technique described by the clinics uses one-piece implants. An implant is a support placed in bone. The prosthesis forms the replacement teeth. The graphene-containing material is in the prosthesis acrylic. It is not a graphene implant. Ask for a description of the full proposed assembly.

Corticobasal implants seek support in cortical bone, the hard outer layer of bone. Avoiding bone grafts is a goal of this technique. Your doctor confirms whether it applies to your case at the evaluation with your test results. A graft adds or rebuilds bone. A CT scan provides three-dimensional images that help the doctor assess whether a proposal fits the anatomy. A convenient city cannot replace that assessment.

Habash and colleagues’ 2024 review considers the advantages of basal implants over conventional implants uncertain. Choosing Punta Cana or Santo Domingo does not remove that evidence limit. Ask the professional to explain the alternatives and why they propose a particular one after evaluating you. The same questions belong in either city.

The reviewed documents place Dr. Asenjo’s clinic at Centro Profesional Noriega Group in Verón Punta Cana. Before booking lodging, request the appointment address. The location of every treatment phase needs confirmation for your case. A published clinic address does not automatically establish where all services would occur.

Public sources for Dr. Contreras show different addresses. The current Santo Domingo address for Hexa Smile patients is to be confirmed. Avoid choosing a hotel around a location the team has not verified. Ask which address applies to the actual appointment rather than relying on an older listing.

Also ask where imaging, surgery, and adjustments would happen. Knowing that a laboratory is associated with a clinic does not identify every location in the process. Locations and hours for each phase are to be confirmed. Keep those details with the proposed appointment schedule for anyone helping you travel.

Having a home and family support in Santo Domingo may make planning easier. A trip centered on Punta Cana may make that city more convenient for your itinerary. These are practical considerations to review after understanding treatment needs. Neither establishes which clinical proposal is appropriate.

Calculate trips from the place you would actually sleep to the confirmed clinic address. Travel time depends on the route and day. Times for your trip are to be confirmed. A city name does not mean every hotel or family home is next to the clinic. Ask how the appointment schedule would fit those journeys.

Check flights, schedules, and prices for your chosen dates. This guide does not publish seasonal routes or fares. Hexa Smile’s lodging, pickup, and transportation packages are to be confirmed. Do not assume a service is included because someone else received it on a different trip.

Immediate loading means attaching fixed teeth on the day implants are placed or within a few days. That interval does not determine when you can fly. The CDC warns that surgery and flying can increase thrombosis risk. Thrombosis means a blood clot inside a blood vessel.

Ask the doctor for guidance on the stay and what could change it after evaluation or surgery. No single dental rule permits everyone to fly home the next day. The clinics’ recommended stay and preflight checkups are to be confirmed. If you work in the United States, discuss how an extension could affect your paid time off.

If you live in the Dominican Republic, ask how many office visits would be needed too. Surgery in another city may require transportation and family help. Prices at both locations, any price difference, and the checkup schedule are to be confirmed. A domestic trip still needs a follow-up plan.

Do not assume you can have surgery at one location and every checkup at the other. Care between clinics is to be confirmed. Ask what agreement would apply, who would maintain records, and who would make clinical decisions. Coordination does not establish interchangeable clinical responsibilities.

For a return to the United States, the CDC recommends arranging complication care and carrying records. Request implant brands and models, imaging, and a prosthesis description. The local care network, warranty, and costs of returning to the Dominican Republic are to be confirmed. Follow-up with a US dentist familiar with the system is to be confirmed.
