Transform your smile at an affordable price with dental veneers in Colombia. If you’re tired of your crooked smile and want a quick fix without having to undergo years of orthodontic work, or you have one or two teeth that are misshapen, damaged or discolored, then it might be time to consider a dental vacation to Colombia. You’ll receive good-quality dental care while enjoying a holiday to remember in this transformed, exciting country.
Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment that essentially places attractive veneers on the front of your teeth, hiding the unsightly appearances behind. As the treatment is purely cosmetic, it’s important that you have good dental health so that the veneers will stay affixed to your teeth. Thus, the dentist will ensure any cavities are filled prior to the treatment, and will also check that your gum and oral health is generally good.
Veneers can be attached to single teeth, but are also effective in a row of four, six or eight to transform a crooked smile. Celebrities love them and you can see why (particularly, for example, when you compare Tom Cruise’s before and after photos!). However, while one or two veneers may be affordable, the prices for any more than that at home can soon mount up to an unmanageable amount, which is why going abroad is so appealing.
The prices of dental veneers in Colombia are only about a quarter of the cost in the United States. Here’s the bottom line: if you want to transform your smile with a row of veneers, then it’s much more affordable in Colombia than at home.

The procedure for dental veneers normally takes two visits to the dentist:
Some dental clinics offer CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture) that makes it possible to get your veneers designed and milled while you wait.
