Dealing with Dental Problems – "I Just Wanted My Smile Back"
As a business consultant, I meet with clients every day. My job relies on confidence, clear communication, and making a strong first impression. But for years, I struggled with damaged and worn-down teeth. A few cracked teeth and older fillings had left my smile looking uneven, and I knew I needed dental crowns to restore both function and aesthetics.
I kept putting it off because of the high cost of treatment in the U.S.. The price of a full set of crowns was overwhelming, even with insurance. Every time I thought about fixing my teeth, I felt stuck between needing the procedure and not being able to justify the cost.
"I wanted to smile freely again, but every time I looked at U.S. prices, I felt like I had no options."
The High Cost of Dental Crowns in the U.S. – "Way Too Expensive"
During my consultation in Miami, I was quoted a price that made me do a double take. Thousands of dollars per crown, even with insurance? I couldn’t believe it.
When I checked with other clinics, the prices were just as high. Some places offered payment plans, but the total cost still felt unreasonable. I started searching for alternatives because I knew I couldn’t ignore my dental health any longer.
"The idea of spending tens of thousands of dollars on dental work just didn’t make sense to me."
Exploring My Options – "Could There Be a Better Way?"
While looking for alternatives, I started reading about dental tourism. I joined online forums, watched patient testimonials, and quickly realized that many people were traveling to South America—especially Colombia—for high-quality dental work at a fraction of the cost in the U.S.
At first, I had concerns. Was the treatment safe? Would I get the same quality care as I would at home? But the more I researched, the more I realized that many dental clinics in Colombia use the same technology and materials as top U.S. dentists. The difference was the price, not the quality.
"I wasn’t just looking for cheap treatment—I wanted high-quality care at an affordable price."
Finding PlacidWay – "A Trusted Recommendation"
When I asked for recommendations, many people suggested PlacidWay. They explained that while every clinic claims to be the best, PlacidWay only works with certified, accredited clinics that meet international standards.
I reached out and was connected with Gonzalo, a Patient Coordinator at PlacidWay. He took the time to understand my concerns, explain my options, and help me choose a trusted clinic in Colombia that specialized in dental crowns.
"PlacidWay made the process easy—I didn’t have to guess or worry about picking the wrong clinic."
Arriving in Colombia – "A Better Experience Than Expected"
The moment I arrived in Colombia, I knew I had made the right decision. The clinic was modern, clean, and professional. The staff welcomed me warmly, and my dentist took the time to explain every step of the process.
The first visit included digital scans and a consultation. I was impressed with how advanced their technology was. It was clear that I was in the hands of experienced professionals.
"The clinic exceeded my expectations—it felt like a high-end dental office in the U.S., just at a reasonable price."
The Treatment – "A Seamless Process"
Over the course of a few visits, my damaged teeth were prepared, and my custom crowns were crafted to match my natural smile. The final step was placing them, and when I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t believe it—my smile was restored.
"It was the smile I had been wanting for years, and I finally had it—without breaking the bank."
Returning Home – "A New Smile, A New Confidence"
Back in Miami, my friends, family, and even clients immediately noticed the difference. But the biggest change? My confidence. I felt like myself again—no more hiding my teeth, no more hesitation when speaking.
If you’re considering dental crowns abroad, PlacidWay can help you find the best clinic, just like they did for me.
