Dental Tourism In Peru: The Complete Guide (2026)
Dental tourism means traveling to another country to receive high-quality dental care at a significantly lower cost. Peru has become an attractive destination for patients from the United States, Canada, and Europe who are looking for implants, veneers, crowns, or full-mouth rehabilitation.
At Smiles Peru, located in Miraflores (Lima), we combine clinical experience, digital technology, and personal attention so that your experience is predictable and comfortable.
Peru: A Growing Dental Tourism Destination
Dental tourism, or dental travel, is growing worldwide and for good reason: as the world becomes ever more interdependent and competitive, technique, material, and technological advances spread rapidly. Significant skill differences for knowledge-based procedures simply do not survive long. Developing countries like Peru take advantage of knowledge-based advances worldwide, while also enjoying much lower overhead costs that make up 65-80% of the average dentist’s expenses in the United States, for example. The result for the consumer is equal or better treatment to anywhere else in the world…for a significantly lower price.
Why choose Peru for dental tourism?
- Prices 50–70% lower than in the United States or Canada
- Dentists with international training and experience
- Modern technology (intraoral scanners, 3D CBCT, CEREC)
- Care in English and Spanish
- The opportunity to combine treatment with a trip to Lima or the rest of Peru
“You guys are the best.”
“I’m very, very glad I came to Smiles Peru.”
How much can you save?
Smiles Peru takes advantage of much lower fixed costs, lower labor costs, lower education fees and expenses, and lower insurance costs to provide quality dental care for about one-third or less of the price one would pay in more developed countries like the US, for example. Procedures such as dental implants are simply financially out of reach for many people in other countries. Our prices are our true competitive advantage. Please see our current price list.
Smiles Peru offers convenient lodging in our corporate apartments located very near the dental clinic, as well as free apartment transfer for patients staying in our apartments. Our lodging option was designed to reduce the stress and costs associated with finding lodging and traveling to and from the clinic.
The treatments most frequently requested by international patients include:
- Dental implants (including All-on-4 and All-on-6)
- Crowns and bridges

How long do treatments take?
Most patients can complete their treatment within a focused trip:
- Simple procedures (whitening, single crowns, or limited veneers): 1–2 visits
- Moderate cases (multiple veneers or crowns): Several days to a week
- Full-mouth dental implants (All-on-4 / All-on-6): Typically planned around a one-week stay for the initial phase and 10- day stay for the final phase
Complex cases are planned in an integrated way so that function (bite) and aesthetics are addressed together. When appropriate, treatments are coordinated within the same visit window to make the process more efficient for international patients so patients can combine treatment with time to enjoy Peru. We will give you a realistic timeline from the beginning based on your specific case.

Combining Dental Care with Travel in Peru
One of the advantages of choosing Peru is the ability to combine treatment with a genuine travel experience. Lima is the main international entry point to the country, making it convenient to begin or end a trip with dental care.
While in Peru, many patients take advantage of:
- World-renowned gastronomy
- The historic district of Miraflores and coastal views
- Day trips or extensions to destinations such as Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, or the Nazca Lines
- Peru’s thirteen UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Economic growth and modernization has helped the number of tourists visiting Peru grow substantially over the past 20 years. Lima makes a perfect place to to take a day or two and receive dental treatment, as most travelers will arrive in Peru at the new (2025) international airport in Lima. Lima itself has many attractions to offer any tourist including the Huaca Pucllana within walking distance from the clinic. Cost savings on dental procedures can easily pay for the entire trip.
