Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Very good. I would recommend Rocio Flores Paz. Her practice is located Calle Americo Vespucio Mz. L lot.59 Urb., Covima, La Molina
Office 348 4839, 301 3731 
Cell 99 573 9389

Are their fees as high as in the USA?

Thank You Vik for the addition.

Lisa,  Fees are nowhere near dental care in the U.S., especially in & around the major cities (NY, Chicago, LA, ...)  That's why so many persons, especially peruvians living in the states, arrange their travel to Peru to include much needed dental work.  I know in the states sometimes there are programs, such as American Dental, which gives low cost dental care.  However the quality of the service and the facilities are also below standard.  So in the states, you get what you pay for.  Whereas here, you can find outstanding medical & dental care, for incredibly low prices.
