FAQs

1. What warranties or guarantees are available?

Guarantees are usually procedure-specific and may cover lab-made work, such as veneers, crowns, and bridges, and implant components for a set period. They generally require following written aftercare, such as wearing your night guard if prescribed, and attending maintenance visits. Before treatment, Dental Departures can obtain the clinic’s current written warranty for your plan, including coverage length, what is included or excluded, and how repairs or replacements are handled, so expectations are clear.

2. Where is the clinic and how do I reach it?
 

The practice is in central Bogotá with straightforward access from El Dorado International Airport, BOG. Use an authorized airport taxi, Uber, or DiDi. Travel time is typically 20–45 minutes depending on traffic. After booking, Dental Departures can share the GPS pin, wayfinding notes, and hotel-area suggestions known for quick rides to the clinic.

3. Which payment types are accepted?

Clinics serving international patients commonly accept cash and major credit or debit cards. Some larger plans may allow bank transfers. Because accepted card brands, processor fees, and any cash discounts can change, your Dental Departures advisor can confirm the exact methods for your appointment dates and note any deposit needed to reserve lab time or surgical blocks.

4. What languages are spoken at the clinic?

You can expect service in Spanish and English across reception and chairside. Tell Dental Departures your preference at booking so they can pair you with an English-speaking dentist or assistant and provide bilingual consent and aftercare documents.

5. How long do veneers take, and how long do they last?

Most porcelain veneer cases are completed in 2–5 days, including consultation, preparation or scans, try-in, and final placement. Composite bonding can be faster, often same day for small zones. With proper care and night-guard use where recommended, porcelain veneers commonly last 10–15+ years. Composites usually need earlier refresh or polish. Your dentist will outline home care, foods to avoid for 48 hours, and review check-up timing.

6. How long do dental implants take?
 

Implants are typically two-stage. Stage 1, implant placement with or without bone graft or sinus lift, fits into 3–7 days with a short review. Stage 2, the abutment and crown or bridge, occurs after healing, also called osseointegration. If grafting is required, overall timelines extend. Dental Departures can map visits to your travel window and discuss temporary or provisional options while you heal.

7. Can I get same-day diagnostics and a plan?

Often, yes. With notice, the team can arrange X-rays, diagnostics, and a consultation on the same day, so you can review options, sequencing, and a quote in one visit. Sharing recent images and dental history ahead of time shortens the appointment and improves accuracy.
