Here’s part of an article published recently about Medical Tourism in Lima, Peru, featuring… yep, you guessed it – TRAVELandSMILE
”Who would have thought quality dentistry at a fair price could be equally difficult to get in the so-called “free market” of the United States and the so-called “socialist” system of the United Kingdom. Both systems seem to let some people down… and even if they don’t… even if you can afford great treatment, you’re just as likely to be able to afford a life-changing couple of weeks travelling through the deserts, mountains and jungles of exotic Peru. Why not have your treatment done on the side and use the savings to pay for the flight over? More and more people are thinking the same.
Dental treatment lends itself well to being most people’s first step into the world of treatment abroad with most procedures being relatively minor. One dental clinic set up yo meet this ever increasing demand from patients who would otherwise have simply been called tourists is Travel and Smile.
“Combine a vacation with your dental work to see one of the 7 Wonders of the New World at the awe-inspiring lost Inca city of Machu Picchu, visit the world’s highest navigable lake at Lake Titicaca and fly over the ancient and mysterious Nazca Lines that still baffle scientists as to their purpose”, the clinic tells potential clients.
Set up by Dr. Enrique Yuen, the clinic offers the latest equipment and procedures, including high precision 3D CAD/CAM designed restorations, all conforming to European and American standards, if not surpassing them. “We are pioneers in this field in Peru and most established dental tourism firm with 6 years experience”, they explain. The ”dental tourism” orientated clinic also offers clients an English-speaking environment.
If the low prices were something that might cause alarm, these are explained. “We can boast world class dentistry at a great price due to services, property and living costs being much lower in comparison to many other countries. In fact, your treatment here can cost you up to three times less than identical treatments in Europe and the United States”.
In affect, the prices aren’t cheap, just reasonable, whereas the prices you might pay back home are exorbitant.”
