Best dentist in Santiago

[Lafcadio]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know of a first rate dentist for putting in crowns in Santiago. Someone with modern facilities.

A phone number would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

For Endodontist (root canals & microsurgery) use Dr. Manuel Paulino 2nd floor of Edificio Cristal on Calle Sol across from the monument (582-4139).
He's absolutely pain free, sterile, competent and with the most modern and complete equipment I've ever seen.

Since most of these are graduates of my PUCMM program, I can say that they are very good. I personally use the first one and the third one.

Good Luck,

HB

And, please don't forget Dr Oscar Morel Doctor Oscar Morel - Odontólogo en Santiago de los Caballeros, Rep. Dominicana. He does implants, crowns and other stuff. I'm not a dentist, so I don't know all the different procedures he does, I just know he is very well educated and experienced. He spends the summers working on patients who come from the US to have him do their dental work. His office is in the building right across from the Metro station, easy to find. At least, give him a call and tell him you heard about him on dr1.com! Thanks

Regarding Dr. Morel in Santiago: Have you (or anyone else) had work done by him?
I am considering some implants - very heavy lifting and no fun to consider.
Does he use gas?
Shiver me timbers - I prefer a visit to the IRS to the dentist.

Sorry I missed this yesterday. Dr Morel did 2 root canals a couple of years ago on me. He is now specializing in implants and more permanent type replacement dentistry. He calls me a "chicken". He is really good at making you comfortable, causing no pain and continually reassures you about the procedure you are undergoing so you know what to expect every minute. Going to the dentist is terrifying for me, but I can admit that I didn't have any pain with Dr Morel. Give him a call and talk to him. He speaks very good english.

Bests, and thanks again.
