Immediate Load Dental Implants are implants that are placed in to the jaw bone with the final crown ”loaded” and treatment finished all within 7-10 days. A lot of patients are suitable for this procedure that have optimal quality jaw bone.
The skill and expertise of the surgeon is also critical in the success of this procedure. Dr Marticorena, our Master Implantologist and Dental Surgeon has been doing these procedures with high levels of success for nearly 20 years.
Mr Jack Howard from Kentucky needed complete upper dental implants and fixed, permanent teeth.
Jack remarks about his treatment;
”Dr Enrique Yuen and his staff of professionals put the kabash on many to the criticisms I read regarding professionalism, customer service, and technology to mention a few when speaking of Peru and services. Over the past few months I have had full top dental implants, a root canal, two crowns, veneer, and hours of treatment by a completely professional and compitent staff. I have read about but never seen some of the technology until coming to the offices of Travel and Smile but what was most reassuring to me was the staff who not only were extremely professional but extremely supportive in what for me were some difficult situations that at times took hours.
I researched and found the place for dentistry. Monica the person who greets you in the office to Daniel and of course Enrque with a great team off assistants will take care of any of your needs. I would add the thousands of dollars that I saved, but I have to honestly say that I would come back to Travel and Smile regardless of the price as I am that satisfied.”
Take a look at our gallery of recent smile changes – some are extreme, while others are more simple. Either way, with the latest in digital dental technology, treatments can be completed within very short time frames and in most cases, the same day for simple treatments and less than a week for complex work! Veneers, crowns, implants, extractions, sinus lifts, one hour teeth whitening, root canal therapy…and more! We provide you a complete, first class service from beginning to end.
Dental Implants are perhaps the most comfortable and longest lasting treatments for missing teeth. Dental Implants with us in Lima, Peru can be placed quickly by our Master Implantologist, Dr Coz and with the latest technology in ”Immediate Load” implants, you can have treatment complete with the final tooth all within a week.
The ”Immediate Load” procedure isn’t suitable for everyone, but if you have sufficient jaw bone density to support it, it is an excellent option. If you’re not suitable, a period of three months is required before placing the final tooth. This allows the implant post to become fully integrated with the jaw to support biting forces once the final crown is placed.
Either way, dental implants are the best option for replacing missing teeth. How much do they cost? We use the best and most recognized brands of implants around the world.
What’s the Cost?
Our implants start from just US$789! That’s around 1/3 the cost of the US, Canada and the UK. Plus, they all come with Lifetime Guarantees and certification, too – all for your added peace of mind.

In the ”good old days”, most people, as a matter of course, expected to lose their teeth as they aged. These days, we know that with proper dental care, there is no reason that you shouldn’t continue to enjoy your own teeth, no matter what age you are.
The key to good oral health in your twilight years is to establish good brushing and flossing habits early in life, to prevent decay and gum disease from deteriorating your dental health. Regular dental checkups are a must too, as not only do they give us the opportunity to check your teeth, but they also allow us to contribute to your total health as we check for periodontal (gum) disease, oral cancer and other diseases that can effect other parts of your body.
In today’s health conscious society, it’s shocking to hear that, according to the Acadey of General Dentistry, three out of every four adults over the age of 35 are affected by some sort of gum disease. We believe that this statistic can be reduced drastically by following some simple steps:
1. Brush with a flouride toothpaste twice daily for 2-3 minutes
2. Floss once per day
3. Have a dental checkup and professional cleaning every 6 months
4. Ask us about sealants that protect your teeth from bacteria that cause decay
In severe cases, gum disease can lead to loose teeth that eventually fall out, leading to a host of other expensive and possibly unpleasant tooth replacement options such as dentures and implants. Patients with osteoporosis need to be especially aware of this, as the bones holding their teeth in place are much more vulnerable than other peoples’.
Please talk to us about proper brushing and flossing techniques and remember that healthy teeth give a healthy, beautiful smile which is something that we are all entitled to.
Periodontal procedures are available to lay the groundwork for restorative and cosmetic dentistry and/or to improve the esthetics of your gum line. You may have asked your periodontist about procedures to improve a “gummy” smile because your teeth appear short. Your teeth may actually be the proper lengths, but they’re covered with too much gum tissue. To correct this, your periodontist performs crown lengthening.
During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth, to even your gum line, or to several teeth to expose a natural, broader smile.
Your dentist or periodontist may also recommend crown lengthening to make a restorative or cosmetic dental procedure possible. Perhaps your tooth is decayed, broken below the gum line, or has insufficient tooth structure for a restoration, such as a crown or bridge. Crown lengthening adjusts the gum and bone level to expose more of the tooth so it can be restored.
Whether you have crown lengthening to improve function or esthetics, patients often receive the benefits of both: a beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health – your key to smiling, eating and speaking with comfort and confidence.

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.”

Subtle improvements in your smile can make a world of difference and often creates new found confidence giving you more direction in life to achieve those goals you always wanted to.
Some people however, have teeth that appear to be ‘short’ or ‘small’ in size. Others have had their gums retract leaving large spaces between teeth or even exposing the root surfaces. If this is the case for you, we have a solution to give you that smile you’ve always wanted. ‘‘Gum lifting’’ or ‘‘reshaping’’ with tooth enamel contouring may be the perfect solution.
One of the best things about this procedure is that it is usually completed in just one visit.
We will remove a small amount of your gum tissue and contour it to reveal more of your natural teeth. Surgical instruments or a laser may be used to complete the procedure. The results are instant and dramatic – showing more of the teeth and a healthy, fuller smile. If you think that you can benefit from gum reshaping, ask us if this procedure would improve your smile.
