(for a minute, Robert, I was tempted to say if you are that bored, get the news for Friday up and posted, hehehe)
Dra Henriquez is available to do your work. The amount of time it may take depends on several things, such as your general health and any heart conditions, glycemia, or other health conditions; your possible reactions to any of the root canals, the type or conditions of the roots of your teeth, your age,...
She did say that generally, dental work in the DR will cost about 1/2 of what similar work costs to be done in the US. If a crown requires a post, etc the cost will be more.
She will do her own exam, and the deep gum cleaning, and then give you an estimate on the crowns and root canals. If the root canals are straight-forward, she can do those straight off. If there are complexities to your root canals, she can immediately refer you to a specialist to do this work.
If you want a better cost estimate before travelling to the DR, you can send her your x-rays, and a panoramic mouth x-ray, and answers as to your health and any conditions, and your age, and any other things she should know beforehand.
Otherwise, if you want to come down, her schedule is open for the week of 12 June 2006. If you want me to call them and schedule your appointment, I am willing to do that for you, once you know when you will fly.
She also asked me what your $$ situation is, and I told her I don't know. She works on a cash basis (she does not accept any insurance from any patients, not just you -
)
Dra. Ena Rosa Henriquez's office is located at Calle Socorro Sanchez # 157 (altos), Gazcue, Santo Domingo, and the office number is 809-688-6251. Her office is easily reached from any of the Malecon hotels, or from the Zona Colonial area.
