A full smile makeover by Dr Enrique Yuen which included an extraction, Zoom 3 Advanced Power teeth whitening, veneers and crowns.
Look at the difference in the photos with the Before and After shot of each one where the change can clearly be seen. The full facial shots are particularly impressive and the enormous improvement in the alignment of the smile is clear leaving a very beautiful final result and another very happy patient.
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.”
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.

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.
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.

If you would like to correct your slightly crooked, uneven or chipped teeth, or whiten and brighten teeth that are severely stained and discolored, then dental veneers could be the perfect solution.
Veneers are an excellent choice when considering correcting shape and color of teeth. We use the newest veneers available in dentistry called Direct Veneers which, unlike conventional porcelain veneers, require little or no removal of healthy tooth enamel. These often perform better than natural teeth, due to their unique stain resistant characteristics. So, if you love tea, coffee, wine and other staining foods and drinks, your new veneers will keep their original color for many years to come.
Veneers with www.PeruDental.com and Dr Enrique Yuen here in Lima, Peru are minimally invasive and a full set can be complete within just a few days. They’re a real work of art, a master piece you’ll be proud of for years to come.

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.”
