Patient Feedback

I have been coming to Lima, Peru for 15 years and have always found the city safe and hospitable. Recently, I had the occasion to try out the reputation of the city’s Medical Tourism as a venue, seeking personal dental care. In my quest, I found Lloyd Hannis of Peru Dental and also Enrique Yuen. On my first visit seeking dental restoration, I could not help but be incredibly impressed with Lloyd’s personal patient care, the state of the art office along with the respectful and friendly staff. But what really sets this office apart is the superb skill and meticulous attention to detail of Dr Enrique Yuen. Since that first visit, I have returned 3 more times for a complete dental restoration over a period of 3 months. The amount of dental work required would have taken close to a year in the US and cost 4 times as much. In my many years, I have never experienced any dental care of this quality. Relative painless dentistry, ceramic inlays and crowns all done on site and in one visit. Incredible price and value. But once again, amazing meticulous detail. I will always return to Lima and the outstanding care of Peru Dental, Lloyd Hannis and Dr. Enrique Yuen.

Look younger and healthier with a straight, 1st class smile: Better teeth = happier you!

Research shows that a nice smile can take 5 years off your age and improves all round confidence

Your lips may be moving, but it’s your teeth that are talking. People with straight, white smiles appear more successful, more intelligent and happier in their careers than those with crooked, stained teeth, according to a study by Beall Research and Training in Chicago. And get this: A smile can also function like a souped-up anti-aging cream. In a Roper survey based on before and after photos, 41 percent of Americans said aligning a set of crooked teeth subtracted five years (yes, five!) from a person’s overall look.

Got a grin that’s less than stellar? No worries: It’s never been easier to perfect your pearly whites. Target your smile wishes here, then discover the at-home and professional fixes that will make them come true quickly, painlessly and—in many cases—much cheaper than you ever thought possible!

Press Release – Complete Upper Dental Implants

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

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.”

Taking good care of your natural tooth enamel

Tooth enamel is tough, harder even than skeletal bone. But even with good dental hygiene, the enamel protecting teeth may show signs of decay for many reasons, such as:

Too little saliva: Saliva helps repair the earliest stages of tooth decay. It supplies high levels of calcium and phosphate particles that enhance protection of the tooth’s enamel surface. In addition, saliva protects the mouth by washing away food and the sticky film of acid-producing plaque that can cling to teeth.

Because of saliva’s importance, dry mouth symptoms should be evaluated by a care provider. Dry mouth can be caused by medical conditions or their treatments.  Dry mouth is a common side effect of many prescription and nonprescription medications, including some antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, antihistamines, medications for high blood pressure, anti-diarrheals, muscle relaxants and medications for urinary incontinence and Parkinson’s disease.

Inadequate fluoride: This mineral is an important enamel ally that can make teeth stronger and can enhance saliva’s remineralizing, anti-decay properties. Most people get adequate fluoride exposure through drinking fluoridated water and brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpastes.

But people who drink primarily bottled or filtered water may not be getting adequate fluoride. Even with adequate fluoride, dry mouth can throw off the normal balance teeth need to stay healthy.

A dentist may recommend fluoride treatment to protect and strengthen tooth enamel. Fluoride can be applied two to four times a year. Another option is nonprescription fluoride rinses available in drugstores.

Helpful tips: limiting tooth enamel contact with acids that come from many foods and beverages are a good start. Examples include citrus fruits, tart candies, diet and regular sodas or sports drinks, fruit juices and wine.

Our specialist, Dr Enrique Yuen at our clinic here in Lima, Peru, uses the latest advances in modern digital dental technology to give you the most accurate diagnosis and treatment options possible.

Benefits of Dental Tourism in Lima, Peru

The coastline of Lima

Here’s a list of some of the benefits of traveling overseas for your dental care. As you read, you may be surprised to see there are far more benefits than simply saving a lot of money. Let’s take a look:

1- Travel opportunities when combining your procedure with a vacation
This is a major benefit to some. When you are told that you have a major dental procedure which needs to be done, you may think of this as a negative. You might think of all the time, cost, and begin to hate your luck.
However, stuff happens. This is a fact of life. The mouth needs it’s regular maintenance and when things go wrong, it needs fixing. Accept that this needs to be done and turn the negative into a positive. Use this as a reason and excuse to take that long awaited holiday you’ve been talking about, perhaps even that holiday of a lifetime to an exotic destination you always wanted to visit. Besides the procedure and a couple days of recovery, you will have a lot of time to relax and adventure. If you are traveling to Peru for your dental holiday, consider learning to surf on Lima’s coast, see Llamas and Alpacas and later visit the treasures of World Heritage achaelogical sites in Lima and around Peru.

2- Overseas dental care in Lima is cost effective
Traveling abroad for your dental care can save you thousands of dollars. Where a procedure may cost $7,000 back home, it might cost $2,500 here which is inclusive of your entire dental holiday!

3- Overseas dental care is convenient
This may be the hardest to believe, but it’s true. How can traveling across the world to have your dental work done be more convenient than having it done in back home? Well, depending on the procedure, you may have many screening interviews to go through before you can proceed. For the United States especially, this is a major concern and time taker. For some people taking a half day off from work five times is not an option.
With overseas dental work, you aren’t just a number to them. You are a valued customer where you can easily get hold of your dentist and in-country coordinator to do whatever needs to be done via the phone, email or visit. Patients can even select the day these take place and the dentist will work around your schedule. Not the other way around.

4- No waiting period
This is a big one for me. Why wait when waiting is not needed?
As mentioned above, if you go abroad for your dental care, your dentist will work around you schedule. You are not going to be told you need to wait three months for a procedure you want done immediately. You are able to book an immediate appointment and even speak to your dentist from your home. Arriving one day and being in the chair the following morning with Dr Enrique Yuen, our specialist – impressive stuff.

5- Affordable AND great service – something to truly smile about!
By going abroad for your dental service you are throwing away old outdated traditions and stepping into the new world. The old idea of getting what you pay for will quickly become a fallacy. Just because the dental work will be a fraction of the cost does not mean service will poor.
In fact, by going overseas you will often get better service. You will feel a higher level of service before in any medical facility back home. It’s like going to a five star hotel for the price of a half star. You truly have to experience this to believe the level of service you will receive.
