Porcelain veneers in El Poblado, Medellín, with the price in dollars and an honest answer about whether you need them at all.
Book a video consultationPorcelain veneers cost $250 - $375 USD per tooth in Medellín, against roughly $900 to $2,500 per tooth in the United States. A full case of up to 20 veneers is $5,000 - $6,250 USD here. The materials and the laboratory process are the same ones used in Miami or Los Angeles — a lithium disilicate veneer is a lithium disilicate veneer wherever it is milled. What changes is the cost of labour, rent and lab work in Colombia, and that difference is large enough that patients still save money after paying for flights and a hotel. That is the entire arithmetic, and it is worth understanding before anyone tries to sell you a package: you are not buying a cheaper veneer, you are buying the same veneer in a country where producing it costs less.
USD figures are approximate, converted at 1 USD = 4,000 COP (September 2026). Treatment is quoted and invoiced in Colombian pesos, so your final cost depends on your card exchange rate on the day you pay.

Lasts 10-15 años
Made by a dental laboratory from a 3D scan of your teeth. They do not stain with coffee, wine or tobacco, and they keep their shine without polishing. This is what most people mean when they say veneers.

Built directly on the tooth in fewer appointments, so they cost less. They need polishing every few months and they are replaced sooner. The price depends far more on the case than porcelain does, so it is quoted after we see your teeth.
If you are flying in for this, porcelain is almost always the right answer: it lasts 10-15 años against 3-7 años for composite, and coming back to Medellín for a touch-up is not the same as driving across town. The full cost breakdown is here.
Dr. Daniel Fernando García qualified as a dentist in 2004 and has been practising for 21 years, the last few of them in the Torre Médica Salud Vegas in El Poblado. He does the diagnosis, the digital design and the veneer work himself. When a case needs gum treatment, a root canal or an implant first, he brings in the corresponding specialist rather than doing it himself — which is worth saying out loud, because a practice that claims to do everything in-house is either very large or not being straight with you.
You will meet him on video before you book anything. That call exists so you can judge for yourself, and so you find out what your case actually needs before you buy a plane ticket. More about the dentist and his training.
You send photographs, we talk in English, and you get a realistic idea of how many teeth are involved, whether anything needs treating first, and what that means for the cost. If your case is not suitable for veneers, this is where you find out — before you have spent anything.
Clinical examination, photographs and a 3D scan. Nothing is touched until we have seen your mouth in person, because a photograph hides gum problems and old fillings.
The new smile is designed on the scan and then placed in your mouth as a temporary mock-up. You look at it, you say what you want changed, and it is changed. Nothing permanent happens until you approve this.
A thin layer of enamel is removed and you wear temporary veneers while the laboratory makes the final ones.
The final veneers are tried in, adjusted and bonded. Your bite is checked before you leave.
How long that takes depends on your case and on the laboratory, so you will get a specific number of days at the video consultation rather than a marketing figure here. Anyone who promises you a finished smile in twenty-four hours without having seen your mouth is describing temporaries, not final veneers.
The quoted price covers the assessment, the scan, the digital design, the mock-up, the veneers themselves, the adjustments and the follow-up. What is quoted separately is anything that has to be fixed first — decay, deep cleaning, gum treatment, a root canal — because not every patient needs it and it would be unfair to charge everyone for it.
Todos los tratamientos tienen garantía. El plazo no es el mismo para todos: depende del tratamiento y del material, y se te entrega por escrito con tu plan.
Be clear-eyed about warranties in dental tourism generally: they cover the dental work, not your flights. That is true here and it is true everywhere else. Ask the question anywhere you are comparing, and be suspicious of anyone who avoids answering it.
Porcelain veneers cost $250 - $375 USD per tooth at this practice in Medellín. A full case of up to 20 veneers is $5,000 - $6,250 USD, which is less than multiplying the per-tooth price. USD figures are approximate, converted at 1 USD = 4,000 COP (September 2026). Treatment is quoted and invoiced in Colombian pesos, so your final cost depends on your card exchange rate on the day you pay.
The materials and the laboratory work are the same ones used in the United States; what changes is the cost of labour and rent. What you should check is not the country but the individual practice: ask who will actually treat you, ask to see their own before-and-after cases rather than stock photos, and ask what happens if something goes wrong after you fly home.
Yes. Coordination happens over WhatsApp in English, and there is a video consultation before you book flights so you know what your case needs and roughly what it costs.
Todos los tratamientos tienen garantía. The exact term depends on the treatment and the material, and it is given to you in writing with your plan. Be realistic about what any warranty covers: it covers the work, not your flights. Ask about that anywhere you are comparing, not only here.
For porcelain veneers, yes: a thin layer of enamel is removed so the veneer sits flush and does not look bulky. That part is not reversible, which is why the mock-up matters. If your teeth are healthy and well positioned and only their shape bothers you, there is a more conservative option that removes nothing, and we will tell you if that is your case.
Most people need fewer than they think. The usual case covers the teeth that show when you smile, which is normally eight to ten on the upper arch. A full case of both arches is possible but it is not the default, and nobody can tell you the number from a photo.
It costs nothing and it is the only way to know what your case needs. Write in English on WhatsApp, or leave your details and we will contact you.
