At our clinic in Lima, we frequently welcome patients from overseas who seek high-quality dental care at an affordable price. Many of them have struggled with unresolved dental issues in their home countries and turn to us for a definitive solution.
One of our recent patients shared her experience, and we are delighted to recount her journey to relief and recovery.
The Problem: Months of Persistent Pain
This patient initially had two dental crowns placed by her dentist in Florida. However, one of them caused persistent pain, leading her to return for follow-ups over the course of two months.
Despite several X-rays and minor adjustments, the discomfort remained. Frustrated, she eventually requested a replacement crown, hoping it would resolve the issue.
Unfortunately, even after the new crown was placed, her pain persisted. Her dentist, unable to determine the cause, dismissed her concerns, leaving her with ongoing discomfort that affected her ability to eat properly.

Seeking a Second Opinion in Lima
After returning from a vacation and still experiencing significant pain, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Knowing our reputation for advanced diagnostics and effective treatments, she flew to Lima to seek our expertise.
Upon arrival, our team immediately performed a 3D imaging scan using state-of-the-art technology. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, our high-precision 3D scans provide a comprehensive view of the teeth and surrounding structures, allowing us to detect issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
And straight to work, treatment completed in approximately 1 hour, no pain, and problem solved!
Accurate Diagnosis and Immediate Treatment
Dra. Sandra Bobbio, our specialist in root canal and restorative dentistry, reviewed the scans and quickly identified inflammation in one of the patient’s teeth—something her U.S. dentist had missed.
She pinpointed the exact tooth causing the issue and confirmed the need for a root canal.
Even with local anesthesia, the patient immediately recognized the problematic area as Dra. Sandra Bobbio worked, confirming that we had found the source of her pain.
The procedure was carried out with precision, and once the infected tissue and bacteria were removed, the patient finally felt relief for the first time in months.
