Porcelain Veneers in Colombia: Your New Smile Guide

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made, thin shells crafted from high-quality ceramic material designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They’re known for their strength, durability, and natural-looking appearance, closely mimicking the light-reflecting properties of your  enamel. Veneers are bonded to a tooth's surface to address a range of cosmetic concerns, such as chips, gaps, stains, or misalignment.

Why Pick Colombia for Dental Tourism?

Dental tourism has been gaining traction as a health care option, with Colombia emerging as a prominent destination to get veneers abroad. Our country has capitalized on its ability to offer high-quality dental services at a fraction of the cost back home. The combination of Colombia's skilled, often internationally trained dentists, state-of-the-art facilities, proximity to the United States, and the allure of its cultural and natural attractions has brought many international patients to our wonderful country for a dental vacation.

And though people speak Spanish in Colombia, we can communicate in English with our international patients. We’d love to see you in either Cartagena, Medellin, Bogota, or Cali.

How to Get Porcelain Veneers in Colombia

1. Get a Free Quote Online

The first step is a free online consultation. If you haven’t already, please upload 5 photos of your teeth and answer a few questions. We’ll respond shortly to confirm you’re a candidate for porcelain veneers and share a personalized, detailed treatment plan.

2. Plan Your Trip to Colombia

Once you’re happy with your porcelain veneers quote, start thinking about dates. Before you book, be sure to check with us to ensure we have availability. We have offices in Cartagena, Medellin, Bogota, and Cali.

To confirm your appointment, we’ll need your flight and hotel information. This is instead of a deposit and helps coordinate your free dental transportation.

3. Fly to Colombia

Upon arrival, we’ll pick you up from the airport and handle all of your dental related transportation needs. This includes hotel check in, to and from each appointment, and back to the airport.

4. Tooth Preparation

During your first appointment, your dentist will confirm your treatment plan by examining you up close. When both of you are ready to proceed, tooth preparation begins. This process typically requires the removal of a small amount of enamel from the front and sides of your teeth to make space for the veneers. The amount of enamel removed is usually less than a millimeter (0.3mm) and is roughly equal to the thickness of the veneer to be fitted.

5. Impressions and Temporary Veneers

After the teeth are prepared, your dentist will make an impression or mold of your teeth. This mold is used to create your custom veneers in our dental lab. The fabrication process takes a few days depending on the quantity of veneers you get. In the meantime, we’ll place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth.

6. Veneer Fabrication

Your impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where the porcelain veneers are custom-made for your teeth. During fabrication, color shading can be adjusted to match your surrounding teeth for a natural look.

7. Fitting of the Veneers

Once your full set of veneers in Colombia are ready, you will return to our dental office for fitting. Before the porcelain veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth, your dentist will temporarily place them to examine their fit and color. We will then remove and trim the veneers as needed to achieve the perfect fit.

8. Bonding

To prepare your teeth to receive the veneers, your dentist will clean, polish, and etch them. Etching roughens the teeth to allow for a strong bonding process. A special cement is applied to the veneers, which are then placed onto your prepared teeth. Once positioned correctly, your dentist will apply a special light beam to the veneers, which activates chemicals in the cement causing it to harden quickly.

9. Final Adjustments and Follow-Up

After the veneers are bonded in place and the excess cement is removed, your dentist will make any necessary final adjustments. You may be asked to return for a follow-up visit a day or two after to check how your gums are responding to the presence of your veneers and to once again examine the veneer's placement.

Maintenance

Porcelain veneers do not require any special care beyond good oral hygiene practices. Brushing, flossing, and visits to your local dentist for regular check-ups are important to maintain the health and longevity of your veneers.

This process is not reversible due to the enamel removal, so it's a commitment that should be considered seriously. 

Work Guarantee

Assuming you take proper care of your teeth, our dental work is guaranteed through an industry standard warranty of 1 year for porcelain work. This ensures work is properly manufactured and installed. 

In the rare case of an issue, we will redo the work for free. We will not pay for return airfare or hotel. We will not reimburse work done by another dentist.

Hotels and flights are very affordable

Flying to Colombia is cheap. A round trip ticket to Cartagena, Colombia will be half the price of a flight to Turkey or Thailand.

Why is the cost of dental work in Colombia so low?

How can you have quality cosmetic dental work done in Colombia for such an inexpensive price? There are many factors that go into it but the main one is how cheap the cost of labor is in Colombia.

Everything is cheaper because of it. Rent, food, services, and most everything else is about a third the price. This means your porcelain veneers will be a third the price. The US and Canadian dollar goes a long way in Colombia.

Please note that the drop in price has nothing to do with dentists in Colombia using cheaper dental products. In fact, most dentists in Colombia use the exact same top American and European dental manufacturers as dentists back home.

We proudly use BioHorizons, Microdent, Zimmer, and Straumann.

Get a quote, share previous x-rays and/or treatment plans

If you’re like many, you’ve explored getting cosmetic dental work back home but have been turned away by how expensive it is.

If you have copies of your current x-rays and/or treatment plan, please share them with your dentist in Colombia. Medical information like this will make it easier to construct a more accurate quote and dental treatment plan for you.

If these are not available, complete a free online consultation

If you don’t have prior x-rays and/or treatment plans to review, taking photos of your teeth is the next best option available.

We have a free online consultation form you can easily complete on your phone. It’s a short form that will guide you in taking 5 specific photos we need to make a proper assessment. We’re examining your bite, the straightness of your teeth, gaps, and other issues we can easily see.

Please note that these photos will not replace the need of taking x-rays and/or having a physical clinical examination. This will simply help us make a more informed initial diagnosis.

Costs for treatments with multiple phases are split between trips

A lot of dental work, especially dental implants, is done in multiple phases. If this is the case for your dental work in Colombia, know that the cost of treatment will be split between the trips. This will save you from having to have all the money up front, making things financially easier on you.

Consider the flight when calculating the cost of dental work in Colombia

The cost of dental work is not the only thing you have to keep in mind. You have to get to Colombia in the first place after all right?

Good news, there are many, inexpensive, short flights that go to Colombia on a daily basis. A lot of flights go direct to Colombia but if not, you’ll most likely connect in Florida or Georgia.

You also will not have to worry about any significant time zone changes as depending on the time of year, Colombia is in EST or PST. This is because Colombia does not observe daylight savings. This makes Colombia a better choice than Turkey, India, or Thailand in this regard.

Remember the hotel when determining the cost of dental work in Colombia

Hotel nights are another thing that will add to the total. There are many hotel options in Colombia. You can sleep in a great hotel for $40 USD a night or splurge and stay at a luxury hotel for just $150 USD a night. Hostels and Airbnbs are also great options to explore.

Think about food and transportation when figuring out the cost of dental work in Colombia

Food is inexpensive, natural, and high quality as well. You can eat like royalty in Colombia for just $15 USD a day. These costs are not so significant but they should still be factored in when totaling your cost of dental work in Colombia.

Transportation is also cheap. Taxis are everywhere and you can also call a car using Uber whenever is convenient from your phone. Again, expect things to be about a third the price.

Please know that most dentists in Colombia will also have a staff member pick you up from the airport, help you check into where you’re staying, and show you to your first appointment so things are as easy as possible for you.

How many dental implants will you get in Medellin?

Not only do you have to consider the type of dental implant procedure, you should think about quantity. How many implants will you need? Will you need 2 single implant procedures and some implant-supported bridges as well?

Will you need any tooth extractions for your dental implants in Medellin?

Depending on your situation, you may need some of your teeth extracted in order to have your dental implant procedures done. This is a separate cost as it is not needed in all cases and patient dependent.

The type of extraction can also vary. There are simple extractions for $90 USD, surgical/impacted ones are priced at $150 USD, and wisdom tooth extractions cost $225 per tooth.

Understanding what type of extraction and how many you will require is needed in order to get a good sense of the total cost of getting dental implants in Medellin.

Do you require bone grafts and/or membranes for your dental implants in Medellin?

Depending on your jaw bone density, you may need a bone graft and membrane in order to perform the dental implant procedure.

These bone grafts don’t come from other parts of your body but instead grafted from bovine (cattle, cows, oxen, etc).

A bone graft is $230 per gram and most patients that do need it, need 1-2 grams per tooth. Membranes are $190 USD.

How about temporary crown solutions for your dental implants?

Though not required, you may opt for a temporary crown solution to have in between the 4-6 months while your implants fuse to your jaw bone.

As you may know, all implant procedures are done in 2-3 phases. Once the implant (the rod/screw itself) is inserted into your jaw bone, it will take a few months for your jawbone to fuse to the titanium implant and heal.

During this time, you may elect to wear a temporary crown solution in the form of a partial or denture, or a combination of the two. This is done for aesthetic purposes or if you’d like to have a little more support while chewing your food. If you’ve gone a long time without a tooth, you may decide you don’t need a temporary solution.

Temporary single crowns/flippers for $50 USD, partial dentures are $130 USD, and full dentures are $370 USD in Medellin.

How about IV sedation for your dental implants in Medellin?

IV sedation is not required for every implant procedure but can be implemented. It’s done under the following circumstances.

1. There are many implants being done at a given time. Having you out cold will keep you completely still making it easier for the dentist to perform the surgery properly.

2. You may be squeamish and ask to be put completely under.

Single implants can be performed with a simple local sedative where the patient won’t feel a thing but will still be awake. IV sedation is $470 USD in Medellin.

3D panoramic x-rays will cost $70 USD

A 3D panoramic x-ray is done before work begins. In Colombia, most dental scans are done in separate facilities. A staff member of your dentist in Medellin will escort you to the nearby facility they use to make sure you get the right type of scan.

Get an estimate by sharing previous x-rays and/or treatment plans

Chances are you’ve explored getting dental implants back home but have been turned off by how expensive they are. If you have copies of your current x-rays and/or treatment plan, please share it with your dentist in Medellin. Information like this will make it easier to build you a more accurate dental quote and treatment plan.

If these are not available, taking photos of your teeth will help

Please note that these photos will not replace the need of taking x-rays and/or having a physical clinical examination. This will simply focus the picture and hone the quote more.

Dental implant costs in Medellin are split between phases

Dental implant procedures are typically done in 2 phases, sometimes 3. The first phase is where any tooth extractions, bone grafts, membranes are done and the implants themselves are surgically inserted into your jaw bone. If you want temporary crowns, these are done at this time as well.

Four to six months later you will return for the second phase where the permanent crowns are placed on your implants, completing the dental implant procedure.

Should you need a significant amount of bone grafts, an additional trip before the first phase may be required to ensure your jaw bone has enough bone to support dental implants to begin with.

Don’t forget flights, hotels, food, and transportation when calculating the cost of getting dental implants in Medellin

The procedure is not the only cost you have to take into consideration when getting dental implants in Medellin. You have to think about the flight, hotels, food, and transportation.

If you’re visiting beautiful Medellin, you should seriously consider getting some teeth whitening done. You could easily save yourself hundreds of dollars in the process.  

There are two types of professional teeth whitening that are done in dental offices, Medellin is no different. The post below will explain the two different teeth whitening options along with some additional tips before you get your teeth whitening in Medellin. Enjoy!

Two types of teeth whitening procedures in Medellin

There are a good deal of teeth whitening treatment options available to the average person. There are those that can be done in the comfort of your own home like tooth whitening toothpaste, tooth whitening mouthwash, and tooth whitening trips.

And then there are those that can only be done professionally in a dentist’s office. This is the same in Medellin. If you want fast, impactful, and inexpensive changes in your teeth whiteness then you should see a dentist.

In Medellin, like at other places, there are really two classes of professional teeth whitening that can be done, laser teeth whitening and teeth whitening take home kits. You will get great results from both options. What you need to do next is find out which is best for you.

In the coming paragraphs, we will explain the differences between the two. With this information, you should be able to make a better decision on which type of teeth whitening you’d like to get done while you’re in Medellin.

1. Laser teeth whitening at $100 USD per session

Laser teeth whitening is the most common option between the two. It works as follows. Before any teeth whitening begins, your dentist in Medellin will perform a general dental cleaning.

This is to make sure that any food, bacteria, and tartar are cleaned away. If this is not done, the whitening gel will not be as effective, resulting in a poor whitening experience.

After a proper cleaning, the dentist in Medellin will apply a whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The dentist will have to make sure to only cover your teeth and not to touch your gums as the whitening gel will burn and cause discomfort. Your dentist in Medellin will probably use a protective barrier over your gums to ensure this does not happen.

After the whitening gel has been properly placed, the Colombian dentist will heat up and activate the bleaching agent by using a specialized LED lamp/laser. The more time your enamel is exposed to the active whitening agent, the more bleaching, the more noticeable the results will be. This is done in a few small session intervals.

The dentist is Medellin will apply the gel three to four times, with five to ten minutes between each application. The gel will remain on your teeth for about fifteen minutes before it is removed and a new layer is applied.

Depending on your desired result, your dentist in Medellin may recommend multiple appointments. The more shades of white you’d like to increase, the more sessions you need to do. It’s as simple as that. Most patients typically require at least two to three in-office whitening appointments in order to reach their whitening goals.

Each appointment is spread out every other day to let your gums heal. You will be sensitive for a few hours after the procedure. Of course, if time is of the essence, you may be able to do daily sessions back to back if you’re not too sensitive. Patient reactions can vary.

Understand that the whiteness of your smile naturally fades with time. Fading and staining will happen more rapidly if you’re a frequent smoker, coffee drinker, and/or red wine consumer.

You may decide to have new teeth whitening treatments done every few months or years to maintain your desired shade of whiteness. Every patient is different. If you have questions, consult your dentist in Medellin.

Each laser teeth whitening session is priced at $100 USD.

2. Teeth whitening take home kits are $150 USD

A teeth whitening take home kit is another great way to increase the whiteness of your smile with the expert supervision of your dentist in Medellin. This procedure uses custom made trays that deliver the bleaching agent to your teeth.

This is an excellent option if you’d like to save money on professional teeth whitening but cannot stay in Medellin for multiple follow up appointments or would rather just do it in the comfort of your own home. The process works as follows.

First, your dentist in Medellin will take impressions of your teeth which are sent to the lab technicians who will custom make your trays. Once they are created, you and your dentist in Medellin will sit down and go over how to properly use your new equipment, answering any questions you may have.

To simply explain, you will fill a syringe up with the whitening agent and squeeze it evenly out in your custom trays. These trays will then be placed over your teeth, covering the enamel surfaces. Once the gel has evenly covered your teeth, oxygen molecules will start to penetrate your enamel and the whitening process will begin.

The length of your treatment will depend on the strength of the whitening gel concentration designed for your intended results. Generally speaking, you should wear your tray daily anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes.

There is also an overnight treatment option where you’ll use a weaker, diluted gel that can safely be left in your mouth overnight. Please let your dentist in Medellin know if this option interests you. Most complete whitening treatment regimens should last about 2 whole weeks.

Your dentist in Medellin will recommend that you do this teeth whitening treatment every few months, or whenever stains begin to appear again. Only perform touch-up treatments with the guidance of your Colombian dentist.

Please know that over-whitening can cause permanent enamel erosion. Do not whiten your teeth if you are pregnant. The whitening gel contains chemicals that can be harmful to your child if accidentally swallowed.

Each teeth whitening take home kit costs $150 USD.

Why does teeth whitening in Medellin cost so little?

The reason why teeth whitening (and cosmetic dentistry in general) costs a lot less in Medellin compared to in the US or Canada is that the cost of labor is relatively inexpensive.

You’re really simply saving on cost of labor since many dentists in Medellin use the exact same dental manufacturers and materials as dentists back home.

Ensure your dentist in Medellin is experienced in teeth whitening

Just like you would with any dental care treatment, make sure the Colombian dentist who will be doing the teeth whitening treatment has experience with the type of procedure you’d like done.

Though these are common procedures and most dentists in Medellin will have a good deal experience, you should read reviews online, explore their website and social media, and speak with their office directly first.

What are their prices like? Are they all pretty close to one another or are there some that are way off? Disregard any outliers. A dentist in Cali that is too expensive may be trying to take advantage of foreigners like yourself, and a Colombian dentist that is too cheap may signal a poor quality in dental care.

Another important thing you’ll want to make sure of is ensuring that you’re properly comparing dental procedures. This is an issue because nomenclature among dental offices can vary pretty drastically, to top that off, there may be some language trouble. For someone that most likely does not work in the dental industry, this can be very confusing.

For example, some dental offices in Cali, Colombia will say porcelain veneers while others will call it ceramic veneers, some will say composite veneers, while others will say resin veneers. Some will say abutment, others will say post, and on and on. You get the idea.

The goal is to make sure that you are properly comparing procedure prices, “apples to apples” so to speak. If you’re not sure, a quick search online or a short conversation with the office can clear up any confusion you may have.

Complete an online consultation with a dentist in Cali, Colombia

Comparing dental costs is one thing, having a dentist in Cali, Colombia take the time to review your teeth and come up with an initial dental treatment plan is another thing entirely. You won’t be able to save thousands of dollars on dental work in Cali, Colombia if you don’t know what dental work is required in the first place.

If you’re someone who doesn’t know what dental procedures they’d require, then this is another great way to learn what can be done, and to get a quote for that work as well.

In most cases, simply texting or emailing a few photos to the dentist in Cali, Colombia will work just fine. Note that dentists could ask for any x-rays and/or treatment plans from previous dentists if the situation calls for it and they’re available.

Please be aware that emailing photos does not replace the need of a physical clinical examination and having x-rays taken. An online consultation will simply provide you and the dentist in Cali, Colombia a better idea of what needs to be done. This will make it possible to give you a proper estimate for the dental procedures necessary to treat you.

Please note, most Colombian dentists will offer to do this work for free but some may charge a small fee.
