02 — What veneers can fix

Six common issues we solve with veneers.

If your smile has any of these, and the underlying teeth are healthy, veneers are usually the fastest path to the smile you want.

  • Stains and discoloration

    Tetracycline staining, fluorosis, or yellowing that whitening can't lift.

  • Gaps and spacing

    Diastemas and uneven spacing, closed without orthodontics.

  • Chips and worn edges

    Chipped incisal edges or wear from grinding restored to the original shape.

  • Mild misalignment

    Slightly rotated or uneven teeth corrected visually, without braces or aligners.

  • Short or worn teeth

    Length restored for a balanced smile line and a younger-looking face.

  • Full smile redesign

    Whole-arch veneer treatment with digital smile design and previewed result.

09 — Aftercare

Caring for your veneers, your first year and beyond.

Veneers fail twice as often from poor habits as from bad bonding. None of these are difficult, they're just consistent. Follow them and a $4,980 set of porcelain veneers comfortably lasts 15+ years.

01

The first 48 hours

Stick to soft foods. Avoid biting directly into anything hard or sticky, no apples, ice, crusty bread, or gum. Sensitivity to cold is normal for the first few days; it fades as the bonding cures fully.

02

Daily brushing & flossing

Soft-bristled brush, non-abrasive toothpaste (avoid charcoal or whitening pastes, they scratch the glaze). Floss once a day; veneer margins are precise and clean margins are what keep them sealed.

03

Stains and your morning coffee

Porcelain and zirconia veneers don't stain. Composite veneers can, espresso, red wine, dark teas, turmeric, tobacco. If you drink coffee daily, rinse with water after, and book a polish every 12–18 months.

04

Night guard if you grind

Bruxism is the #1 cause of premature veneer failure. If your dentist sees wear or your partner says you grind, we make a custom night guard before you fly home. Wear it. It's the difference between 8 and 18 years.

05

Cleanings every 6 months

See your local hygienist twice a year, same as before veneers. Tell them you have veneers so they use a non-abrasive prophy paste. We coordinate with your US dentist if anything looks off at a routine cleaning.

06

If something feels off

Message us on WhatsApp the same day. A loose veneer caught early is a 30-minute re-bond. A loose veneer ignored for two months is a remake. Multi-year warranty covers material defects and bonding failures, including a return flight if needed.

10 — Questions

Veneer questions, straight answers.

The questions we hear most from US, Canadian, and UK patients.

How much do dental veneers cost in Colombia?

Composite veneers start at $119 per tooth, porcelain at $249, and zirconia at $289, about 70–85% less than US pricing. A full set of 20 porcelain veneers costs around $4,980 in Colombia versus $36,000–$60,000 in the US.

How long do veneers in Colombia last?

Porcelain veneers last 15–20+ years with good care. Composite veneers last 5–8 years and can be polished or repaired chairside without replacing the whole veneer. Zirconia lasts 15+ years and resists chipping better than porcelain.

Is it safe to get veneers in Colombia?

Yes. Our clinic is INVIMA-licensed (Colombia's FDA equivalent) and we use FDA-approved materials. Sterilization follows international protocols. Many of our patients are referred by their US dentists.

How long does the procedure take?

Porcelain and zirconia veneers take two appointments across 2–5 days: preparation, then bonding the finished veneers once our in-house lab has crafted them. Composite veneers are typically two 90-minute sessions across two days. Most patients are home within a week.

Will my veneers look natural?

Yes. We start every case with digital smile design, a preview of your final smile shape, length, and shade before any tooth is touched. Veneers are matched to your face, lip line, and skin tone. You approve shape and color before the final bonding.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards, cash, and wire transfers. We do not offer in-house financing and we do not accept CareCredit. Because savings versus US pricing on a full smile are typically $30,000–$55,000, most patients comfortably cover the trip with the savings on the treatment itself.
