Does anyone know a good "cosmetic dentist" in LT? I chipped a front tooth and need veneers--
I was going to just ask LTSteve this question, as I understand there's a dentist in Don Cesar where he used to live... but decided to ask you all ;) I could also go to the Capital if there's someone better there-
Thanks for your help!

Sorry, this does not answer your question, you do not need "veneers", any decent cosmetic dentist can bond it.
I am missing 1/3 of my front tooth from a kayaking accident, and it looks 100% with bonding.
Make sure they have the latest materials.

Veneers will look more natural, don't stain and will last a lot longer. Plus they are better at covering up bigger corrections. Downside, they are much more expensive.

Had veneers and bonding done. All depends on the application.

Susan, can't really help you with this although I have seen past posts referring a dental specialist in Santiago. I would think you should be able to find a decent dentist in LT. Look in the back of the tourist guidebook for Samana Pennisula and I believe they have phone number listings for DRs. and Dentists. Good luck, hope you can find some help.

You might want to ask Dr. Gabriel Albala, upstairs from Banco Santa Cruz.
