My last trip to Dental Cibao was May of this year. Extraction (done in December 2023), panoramic x-ray, sinus lift, bone graft, prp, implant, crown came to $3,000.00. It would be nearly $8,000.00 if done in N.Y. The sinus lift was because it was a rear upper molar and those implants are a little shorter than those on forward teeth. That alone cost $600.00. I don't know how Dr. Rojas did it, but no sutures were used after the implant. My first implant there was in 2018, and was about $2,000.00 including extraction but no sinus lift.

They quote in USD, but charge my credit card in DOP. FWIW mi amiga - a genuine Dominicana - bought her house about 8 years ago from another Dominican. The house was quoted in dollars, but purchased with pesos. She tells me this is not unusual.

I can't know, although he did mention it was a "customized" implant for 2 teeth. He paid $800.00 per crown is what I paid. I've never had those other procedures. My implants were pretty standard, what I call "rip and stick".
