Veneers in Colombia vs USA: Save 70% on the Same Quality

Getting veneers in Colombia offers a significant cost advantage compared to the prices in the United States, with savings of up to 70%. For example, a full set of 20 composite veneers in Colombia costs around $3,300, while in the U.S., the same procedure can range from $10,000 to $20,000. The high-quality service provided in Colombia includes transportation for appointments and dental cleaning, further enhancing the overall value. Porcelain veneers in Colombia, which offer superior durability and stain resistance, range from $5,800 to $6,300, whereas in the U.S., the same treatment could cost anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000, making Colombia a highly cost-effective choice for dental cosmetic procedures.

Beyond the financial savings, choosing veneers in Colombia means receiving top-tier care and similar longevity compared to treatments in the U.S. Patients benefit from personalized services, including transportation to appointments and complimentary dental cleanings, all while enjoying the same natural appearance and durability offered by veneers elsewhere. This makes Colombia a compelling option for those seeking a beautiful, lasting smile without breaking the bank.

Why Veneers Cost More in the USA

Veneers in the USA are significantly more expensive due to several factors. High overhead costs, including expensive dental equipment, higher wages for staff, and more costly real estate, contribute to the increased prices. Additionally, the cost of dental procedures in the U.S. is often higher due to stringent regulations and insurance practices. In contrast, countries like Colombia have lower operating costs, which allows them to offer high-quality veneers at a fraction of the price, making it a cost-effective option for many patients.

5 Reasons behind the low price of Veneers in Colombia

Lower Operating Costs: The overall cost of running a dental practice in Colombia, including rent, utilities, and staff wages, is significantly lower than in countries like the United States or Europe. This allows dentists to offer high-quality services at a fraction of the price.
Favorable Exchange Rate: The exchange rate between the Colombian peso and stronger currencies like the US dollar or Euro makes dental procedures more affordable for foreign patients. Even with travel expenses, patients often find that they save money by getting veneers in Colombia.
High Competition: Colombia has a thriving dental tourism industry, with many dentists offering competitive prices to attract international clients. The high level of competition among clinics keeps prices lower while maintaining quality.
Government Support: The Colombian government supports medical and dental tourism, offering incentives and creating favorable conditions for the industry. This support can help reduce costs for both providers and patients.
No Hidden Costs: In Colombia, dental clinics often provide all-inclusive packages that cover consultation, treatment, materials, and follow-up visits. This transparency in pricing eliminates unexpected costs, making the overall treatment more affordable compared to other countries where additional fees might be added.

How to Book an Appointment?

To book an appointment for veneers, we’ll first ask you to send us some photos of your teeth. Based on your case, we may request a video call to discuss your treatment in more detail. To secure your appointment, a deposit of $300 USD is required, which can be made via PayPal or Zelle. This deposit will be deducted from the total cost of your treatment. Once that’s done, you’re all set!

Can you get veneers if you're missing teeth?

Yes, you can still get veneers if you’re missing teeth, but it depends on the situation. Veneers are thin shells placed on existing teeth, so if you’re missing a tooth, your dentist may recommend a dental implant or bridge to replace the missing tooth first. Once that’s done, veneers can be an excellent option to improve the overall look of your smile. It’s best to consult with your dentist to determine the most suitable treatment for your specific case.

Do you need a gum contouring procedure to get veneers?

Gum contouring, or a gum lift, is not always necessary for veneers, but it can be recommended in some cases. If your gums are uneven or if too much gum tissue shows when you smile (a “gummy smile”), a gum contouring procedure may be suggested to create a more balanced look before placing veneers. This procedure helps ensure the veneers fit properly and achieve the best aesthetic result. Your dentist will evaluate your gum and tooth structure to determine if gum contouring is needed for your veneers.

Porcelain Veneers	Composite Veneers
10-15 years durability	5-7 years durability
Extremely natural and lifelike appearance	Natural, but less lifelike appearance
More expensive	More affordable
Requires multiple visits (lab work)	Usually completed in one visit
Highly stain-resistant	Prone to staining over time
More difficult and costly to repair	Easier and quicker to repair
Requires more tooth reduction	Minimal tooth reduction

How long does recovery take? Can I eat normally that same day?

The recovery time after getting veneers or a gum contouring procedure is usually short. If you only get veneers without any gum treatment, you can typically return to normal activities immediately, including eating. However, if you undergo gum contouring, the recovery time may vary. Minor discomfort and swelling can last a few days, and it’s recommended to eat soft foods during this period to allow your gums to heal. In most cases, you can resume normal eating within a day or two, depending on the procedure and your dentist’s instructions.

Is getting veneers painful?

The process of getting veneers is generally not painful. Before the procedure, your dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia, so you won’t feel discomfort during the preparation of your teeth. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, especially as the anesthesia wears off, but this usually subsides within a few days. If you feel any significant pain or discomfort, your dentist can recommend pain relief options to help you manage it.

How many visits to the dentist are required to get veneers?

Typically, getting veneers requires two to three visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will evaluate your teeth, discuss your desired results, and prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a lab to create the veneers. At the second visit, the veneers are fitted, adjusted, and bonded to your teeth. In some cases, a follow-up visit may be needed to ensure everything fits perfectly and to check your bite.

Can veneers fix crooked teeth?

Veneers can help improve the appearance of mildly crooked teeth, but they do not actually straighten your teeth like braces or clear aligners would. Veneers are thin shells placed over the front surface of your teeth, so they can mask minor misalignment and give the appearance of a straighter smile. However, for more severe cases of crooked teeth or bite issues, orthodontic treatment may be necessary. It’s best to consult your dentist to determine whether veneers are the right option for your specific situation.

Do veneers require special care or maintenance?

Veneers do not require any special care or maintenance beyond your regular oral hygiene routine. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings are essential to keep your veneers and natural teeth healthy. While veneers are stain-resistant, it’s still a good idea to avoid habits like biting hard objects, grinding your teeth, or consuming excessive amounts of staining foods and drinks to maintain their appearance and longevity.
