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!

Invisalign Teeth Straightening – Clear, Comfortable & FAST!

Invisalign treatment in Lima, Peru

INVISALIGN, or ”invisible braces” are revolutionizing the way people straighten their teeth. Clear moulds are used instead of ugly wires and results are enhanced during record breaking times! Both these people in the photo are straightening their teeth, one with Invisalign and one with traditional wires. Which would you prefer?

A series of molds are used which are used to gently straighten out-of-line teeth over a set period of time as diagnosed by our Orthodontic specialist. It’s easy and effortless and you can even remove them for eating and special events such as weddings – which has never been done before with any other system of teeth alignment. Price for this treatment vary as do treatment times and a full consultation will be required to determine the best treatment for you.

LOL: It’s a popular email term standing for Laugh Out Loud, and we all know that there is nothing better than a hearty, belly-shaking laugh to brighten your day!

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.

Kids Dental Health!

We always advocate that it’s never too early to begin good dental habits, and that means being aware of dental issues from the ”baby” tooth stage, right up until our more mature years.

Most people don’t even think about dental health for children until they have a number of teeth in their mouth, but you might be surprised to learn that even babies need dental attention! Ask us about cleaning your babies gums and first teeth, dental issues with bottle feeding and do your best to  practice excellent dental health even for your babies. Good dental hygiene at this stage will help to prevent issues later on in life.
