Hexa Smile coordinates contact with clinics in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana. Confirm the treatment city before arranging reservations. Included travel services are to be confirmed.
The doctor must determine treatment duration and the return date. These are different from the date you receive fixed teeth. This content is awaiting medical review.
Santo Domingo
S.O.I. FACE is Dr. Carlos Contreras Columna’s clinic in Santo Domingo. The exact treatment address is to be confirmed. The appointment time and the arrival location patients should use are also to be confirmed.
If you have family in the city, ask how practical it would be to travel from their home to the clinic. Distance on a map does not tell you everything about the trip. Request the confirmed location and discuss transportation for each appointment.
Before buying a flight, check the arrival airport and who would pick you up. Transportation service, cost, and terms are to be confirmed.
Punta Cana
Asenjo One Visit Dentistry is Dr. Miguel Asenjo’s clinic in Punta Cana. The clinic’s documents place it in Centro Profesional Noriega Group in Verón Punta Cana. Confirm your appointment location with the clinic before traveling there.
The doctor’s international patient page mentions pickup at Punta Cana airport. Whether this applies to Hexa Smile patients and under what terms is to be confirmed. A flight reservation does not automatically include transportation to the clinic.
Available lodging, rates, and any agreements with the clinics are to be confirmed. Compare distance from appointments, room accessibility, and the terms for extending your stay. If you do not have family in the Dominican Republic, ask the same questions about nearby lodging and support.
Leave room for changes
Ask the clinical team for the expected evaluation, treatment, and checkup schedule. Ask what could change if in-person tests alter the plan. Dates and the required length of stay are to be confirmed.
According to the doctors at the partner clinics, vitamin D and alkaline phosphatase blood tests are required. A panoramic X-ray or CT scan is requested if possible. If vitamin D or alkaline phosphatase levels are low, the doctor may prescribe supplements about a week before surgery. Not all cases qualify. The doctor decides at the evaluation with your test results.
When looking at flights from JFK, EWR, BOS, or PHL, compare the options available for your dates. Match the arrival airport to the confirmed treatment city. This page does not provide flight schedules or fares. Consider PTO and a return ticket that can be changed.
If someone travels with you, ask whether they would need to be present at any stage of care. Review their expenses and lodging separately. A companion’s trip is not assumed to be included in the treatment price.
We do not present beach visits or excursions as part of recovery. Ask the doctor which activities would be appropriate.
Your return and medical records
The CDC recommends arranging who would handle complications after you return home. Ask about that plan before leaving. The care network, contacts, and follow-up costs for this offer are to be confirmed.
Request a copy of your records and ask whether they can be provided in English for use in the United States. They should identify the treatment and components used. Ask which images and implant details can be included.
Before booking the return flight, ask the doctor for individual guidance on when you can fly. Ask the airline what it would cost to change your ticket if that date moves.
