A Struggle with Damaged Teeth
Sebastian Olacio, a 45-year-old man from Pembroke Pines, Florida, had always been self-conscious about his teeth. Over the years, his teeth had become damaged due to decay and wear, and he was left with several broken and discolored teeth that made him embarrassed to smile. He had tried a few temporary fixes, but nothing seemed to last long enough to restore his smile to what it once was.
It wasn’t just about aesthetics for Sebastian. His damaged teeth were also affecting his ability to eat comfortably and enjoy his favorite foods. He knew it was time for a permanent solution, but the high prices for dental care in the U.S. left him feeling stuck.
"I wanted my smile back, not just for vanity but because I was tired of hiding it. I wanted to eat and smile comfortably again, but the treatments here were out of my reach."
Struggling with Costly Options – "The Prices Here Were Overwhelming"
Sebastian explored local options for dental crowns, but the cost was simply too high. The U.S. dental prices, even with insurance, were more than he could afford. He didn’t want to settle for temporary solutions or continue living with discomfort, but he wasn’t sure where to turn for affordable care that still met his needs.
Feeling overwhelmed, Sebastian started to look for alternatives abroad. He knew he didn’t have to live with poor dental health, but he just needed to find the right place where he could get high-quality treatment without breaking the bank.
"The prices in the U.S. were simply out of reach for me. I needed an affordable option that would still provide quality care. That’s when I started looking internationally."
Exploring Affordable Treatment Abroad – "I Needed a Solution Without Sacrificing Quality"
After researching options abroad, Sebastian discovered that dental care in the Dominican Republic was not only affordable but also renowned for its high quality. He learned about several people who had traveled there for dental work and had positive experiences. Intrigued by the idea, he began to seriously consider it as a viable option.
However, the thought of traveling for dental work still made him uneasy. Was it safe? Would the quality of care really match what he could get in the U.S.? He knew he needed to do more research, but the idea of affordable, high-quality treatment seemed like a dream come true.
"I was hesitant at first. What if the quality wasn’t up to par? What if I didn’t understand the process? But the more I looked into it, the more confident I felt."
Finding the Right Support – "PlacidWay Made It All Possible"
Sebastian found PlacidWay during his search for dental tourism options. He reached out for help and was quickly connected with Jesus, a patient coordinator at PlacidWay. Jesus patiently listened to his concerns, answered his questions, and guided him through every step of the process. Together, they selected the best clinic for his needs: Centro Odontológico Dres. Alcántara Polanco in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The clinic had a solid reputation for dental crowns, with many satisfied patients who shared their success stories. After Jesus explained the process in detail, Sebastian felt confident and ready to take the next step.
"Jesus was incredible. He answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything. Thanks to him, I felt confident about my decision."
Getting Ready for the Journey – "A Little Nervous but Excited for What’s Ahead"
With the clinic and treatment plan finalized, Sebastian prepared for his trip to the Dominican Republic. Although he felt nervous about traveling for dental work, he was excited about the prospect of getting his smile back without spending a fortune.
As the departure day approached, Sebastian was filled with a mix of emotions. He was eager to get started but still had some jitters about being away from home. However, knowing that he had everything arranged with the help of PlacidWay made him feel more at ease.
"I was a little nervous, but I kept reminding myself that this was the right choice for me. I couldn’t wait to finally get the dental care I needed."
Arriving in Santo Domingo – "Professional Care and Warm Welcomes"

Dr. Alcántara took the time to explain the procedure and ensure Sebastian was comfortable with every aspect of the treatment. The clinic’s welcoming atmosphere helped ease any remaining doubts he had.
"The clinic was amazing. Dr. Alcántara was thorough, professional, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I knew I was in good hands."
The Dental Crowns Procedure – "A New Smile That Feels Like Home"
Sebastian underwent the dental crown procedure, which included restoring his damaged teeth to full functionality and appearance. The procedure was smooth, and the team took great care to ensure he was at ease. Sebastian was amazed at how quickly the crowns were fitted and how natural they looked once completed.
"It was incredible to see the change in my smile. The crowns fit perfectly and felt just like my real teeth. I was overjoyed with the results."
Recovery – "A Smooth Healing Process and a Confident Smile"
Recovery was smooth, and Sebastian followed the post-treatment care instructions carefully. His new dental crowns allowed him to eat and smile comfortably once again. The discomfort he had once felt was gone, and he was thrilled with how natural his new smile looked.
"I couldn’t believe the difference. It felt like I had my old smile back – I could eat, talk, and laugh with no pain or discomfort anymore. It was a new beginning."
Returning Home – "Smiling Without Hesitation"
When Sebastian returned home to Pembroke Pines, his family and friends immediately noticed the change. He was smiling freely again, without worrying about his damaged teeth. His newfound confidence made him more outgoing, and he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Coming home with my new smile was a game-changer. I feel more confident than ever before, and I can’t stop smiling."
