If you have ever seen the phrase "same day teeth" and wondered if it is actually real, here is your answer. It is. And the reason it works has a name: immediate loading. With traditional implants, the process takes months. The implant is placed, you go home, and you wait for the bone to fuse around it. That healing process alone takes 8 to 16 weeks. Most patients wait 3 to 6 months before they have functional teeth. Immediate loading changes that entirely. The implant is plac

One of our patients just left us a review that reminded me exactly why I do what I do every day. Her name is Cee Cee, and this is what she had to say: "I had an excellent experience at Asenjo One Visit Dentistry. The staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I reached out. The office was clean and well-organized, and everything was explained clearly before my procedure. The dentist was gentle, attentive, and took the time to answer a

If you have ever felt your stomach drop when your dentist handed you the treatment plan, you are not alone. Dental implants in the United States cost between $3,000 and $6,000 per tooth. A full arch can run $20,000 or more. And in most cases, your insurance will not cover much of it. This is not your dentist trying to take advantage of you. There are real reasons why US dental care costs what it does. Running a practice in the US is expensive. Rent, staff, equipment, steriliz

One of my patients recently shared a story that reminded me why I dedicated my life to dentistry: “I literally cannot find the words to express my gratitude for Dr. Asenjo and his amazing staff. I have suffered from severe periodontal disease my entire life. Countless root canals, bridges, extractions. All of which failed over time due to my conditions. After 40 years of living in complete dental misery, I finally made the decision to solve the problem once and for all. I w

If you have spent any time researching dental implants online, you already know how confusing it can get. One website says implants are painful. Another says they are risk-free. One ad promises free implants through a government grant. Another lists a price so low it barely makes sense. Somewhere in the middle of all of it, you are just trying to figure out what is true. I want to help with that today. Watch out for ads promising free implants. Legitimate grants from governme

Waiting weeks for new teeth is a nightmare. Most dental clinics send your teeth to an outside lab. They make you wait. They make you wear uncomfortable temporary teeth. And they leave you wondering when you will finally get your real smile back. You don’t need that. We are the only dental clinic in the Dominican Republic with our own titanium milling machine. It is located right here inside our lab, and it is dedicated exclusively to our patients. This changes everything

Most people blame their sleep problems on stress, screens, or a bad mattress. But there is something most people never think to check. Their teeth. The connection between your dental health and the quality of your sleep is more real than most people realize. A review published in the National Library of Medicine looked at data from over 36,000 people across multiple countries and found a significant link between poor oral health and poor sleep quality. When you are missing t

Here is something most people don't think about. Smiling more might actually help you live longer. Back in 2010, researchers at Wayne State University looked at photos of professional baseball players from 1952. The players who smiled the biggest in their photos outlived the ones who didn't by up to seven years. It was one of the most talked-about studies on smiling and health ever published. Now, science is always evolving, and not every study tells the whole story. But one

A couple of weeks ago I told you about my trip to Belgrade for the 16th IF Teachers and Experts Retreat. Today I want to share what I brought back. During the event, I received my official certification as an IF Teacher from the International Implant Foundation, headquartered in Munich, Germany. To become a certified IF Teacher, a dentist must hold an IF Master of Immediate Loading degree, one of the highest distinctions in Corticobasal implantology. On top of that, candida

A new study was just published in the Journal of Unwanted Results, a peer-reviewed clinical publication by the International Implant Foundation in Munich, Germany. The title says it all: Failure of All-on-4 Full-Arch Rehabilitation and Immediate Corrective Management Using the Technology of the Strategic Implant. I want to share what this study found because you deserve to understand your dental treatment options. What the study looked at Four patients between the ages of 50

Today, I want to dive into a topic close to my heart, overcoming skepticism about dental implants. Of course, It's natural to have doubts, especially about an important procedure like this, so let's address them head-on. First, here's what one of our patients, G. Arbour from Canada, had to say: "I'm so grateful to Dr. Asenjo. This is likely to change my life forever. Knowledge is power, and it's 50% science, 50% experience. If I can help, you can use me as a reference. You k

There is a little secret in dentistry that most doctors won’t tell you. It is the reason why you fix a tooth, pay good money for it, and then five or ten years later... you are back in the chair fixing it again. The problem isn't always the dentist. And it isn't always you. Often, it is the material itself. For decades, dentistry has relied on Porcelain and Zirconia. They are good. But are they good enough to last a lifetime? I want to share findings from a recent in-vitro st

When it comes to dental implants, there’s a bit of a reputation. And I'll be the first to admit, the whole idea can sound a bit scary for some people. But here's the thing: most patients walk out of my office, flashing their implants like they're the new superstars in town. That's why today I want to share with you a few of the lesser-known but no less significant benefits of dental implants and how they boost your confidence: A Makeover You'll Love: Dental implants don't ju

One of the top questions I hear from patients is, "Will dental implants look and feel like my real teeth?" I'm happy to tell you that the answer is a definite yes! Here's why: Implants mimic the structure of natural teeth, with a root (implant) and crown (restoration). The implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable base like a natural tooth root. We custom-craft the crown to match your other teeth' color, shape, and size for a seamless smile. Dental implants function
