How Much Are Veneers in Colombia? Price per tooth and full set
Veneers are priced per tooth, not per smile: each one is a separate restoration made for one tooth. At Dr. Escudero's clinic the price is fixed at $345 USD per IPS e.max veneer, so your total is simply the number of veneers times $345. A full set of 20 costs $6,900 USD, the same as 20 single veneers, with your hotel and transfers added at no extra cost.
Per porcelain veneer
IPS e.max lithium disilicate, fabricated in the clinic's in-house lab.
Full set of 20, all-inclusive
Plus 3 nights at The Cut, airport and appointment rides, and a bilingual coordinator.

| 20 veneers · full set | $6,900 USD | Treatment + 3 hotel nights + airport & appointment rides + coordinator |
Totals are the published $345 per-tooth price multiplied by the number of veneers. How many you need depends on how many teeth show when you smile fully; most full smiles use 16 to 20. Your number is confirmed at the clinical evaluation, not before.

Composite vs Porcelain vs E.max: Colombia veneers price by material
Material is the biggest driver of the veneers cost in Colombia. "Porcelain" is a family of ceramics; IPS e.max (lithium disilicate) is the type most patients mean when they say porcelain veneers, and the one Dr. Escudero uses. Composite resin is sculpted directly on the tooth, costs less and is faster, but chips and stains more easily.
| Material | Typical range in Colombia | How it's made | Lifespan with good care |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite resin | $120–$250 | Sculpted chairside, usually 1–2 days | About 3–7 years |
| Porcelain (E.max / layered ceramics) | $300–$500 | Lab-made from a scan or impression | Commonly 10–15 years |
| Zirconia | $250–$400 | Lab-made; very strong, less translucent than E.max | Long-lasting; suited to heavy bites |
| IPS e.max at Dr. Escudero's clinic | $345 | Made in the clinic's in-house lab | Commonly 10–15 years |
Ranges are the typical figures across Colombian clinics published in our earlier price guides; individual clinics vary. Only the last row is this clinic's own price.
Porcelain veneers
The long-term choice for a full smile makeover: natural translucency, strong stain resistance and low maintenance. See porcelain veneers in Colombia.
E.max veneers
Lithium disilicate layered to copy healthy enamel. Read the full E.max veneers cost and procedure guide.
Composite veneers
Lower cost and faster, with more upkeep over time. Compare prices in our composite veneers cost guide, and ask for both options in your free assessment.
Veneers Cost in Medellín vs Bogotá, Cali and Cartagena what changes from city to city
Prices for porcelain veneers are similar across Colombia's four main dental tourism cities. Differences come from clinic overhead, tourism demand, specialist fees and whether the clinic has its own lab, not from the ceramic itself.
| City | Per tooth | Full set (20) | Often chosen for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medellín | $300–$450 | $6,000–$9,000 | Cosmetic clinics with in-house labs and short trips |
| Bogotá | $300–$500 | $6,000–$10,000 | Prosthodontists for complex rehabilitations |
| Cali | $250–$400 | $5,000–$8,000 | Lower clinic overhead |
| Cartagena | $300–$500 | $6,000–$10,000 | Combining treatment with a beach stay |
| Dr. Escudero, El Poblado, Medellín | $345 | $6,900 incl. hotel & rides | Same dentist from design to bonding; in-house lab |
City ranges come from our January 2026 city price comparison of published clinic prices and are estimates; always request an itemized quote. Only the last row is this clinic's own price.
Why Medellín for veneers
El Poblado concentrates many cosmetic clinics, hotels and restaurants within a short ride of José María Córdova airport (MDE). Clinics with an in-house lab can adjust veneers the same day instead of waiting on a shipment, which keeps standard cases to a few clinic days. Read our complete guide to veneers in Medellín.
What matters more than the city
- Who treats you, by name, and whether that dentist is registered in ReTHUS
- The ceramic brand and type written on your quote
- Whether the lab is in-house or outsourced
- What the price includes, and what the warranty excludes
Veneers Cost: Colombia vs USA, UK and Canada per tooth and for a full set
The US national average for a porcelain veneer is about $1,425 per tooth. At $345, an IPS e.max veneer in Medellín costs roughly 76% less; against the full US range of $930 to $2,440, the difference is 63% to 86%.
| Where | Per tooth | Full set (20 veneers) | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $930–$2,440 USD (avg. $1,425) | $18,600–$48,800 USD | Treatment only |
| Canada | CA$900–CA$2,500 (avg. CA$1,500) | CA$18,000–CA$50,000 | Treatment only |
| United Kingdom (London) | £800–£1,500 | £16,000–£30,000 | Treatment only |
| Medellín, Colombia (Dr. Escudero) | $345 USD | $6,900 USD | Treatment + 3 hotel nights + airport & appointment rides + coordinator |
Sources: US figures from Pearl's national cost data (ADA fee-survey based, May 2026); Canadian figures from RealDentalCosts (June 2026), in Canadian dollars; UK figure is the London estimate from our 2026 price guide, in pounds. Full-set figures are 20 × the per-tooth range. Flights are not included in any row.
When the trip makes financial sense
The savings grow with the number of teeth. For one or two veneers, flights and time off may eat most of the difference. For a smile of 8 to 20 veneers, the gap with US, Canadian or UK prices is usually much larger than the cost of the flights.
Budget for the whole picture
- Round-trip flights (never included in any package)
- Extra nights if you want to stay longer than the three included
- Meals and sightseeing
- Future replacement: veneers are not permanent

- $300 USD deposit reserves your dates. It is non-refundable and paid through a secure Bold payment link.
- The balance is paid at the clinic by card, bank transfer or cash.

Questions to ask any clinic
- How many veneers, and which material brand and type?
- Are X-rays, scans and the smile design included or charged separately?
- Are temporaries included?
- Is the lab in-house or outsourced?
- What does the warranty exclude, and do I get my records?
How Many Days and Trips do veneers in Colombia take?
Standard porcelain veneer cases at Dr. Escudero's clinic take three clinic days and one trip, because the veneers are made in the clinic's own lab. Medellín is about three hours by air from Miami.
- Day 1 · Arrival & evaluation
Scan, design, quote
Airport pickup at MDE. Clinical exam, periodontal screening, bite analysis, 3D scan and photos. You review your smile design and final quote.
- Day 2 · Lab day
Your veneers are made
Technicians fabricate your veneers in the in-house lab while you rest and explore El Poblado.
- Day 3 · Reveal
Try-in and bonding
A trial fitting where you approve shape and shade, then permanent bonding, a bite check and aftercare instructions.
Standard veneer cases only. If your evaluation finds gum disease, decay or an unstable bite, these are treated first, which can mean extra appointments or a second trip. You hear this on Day 1, not after your flight home. Composite veneers are placed directly and usually need fewer appointments.
What Changes the Cost of your veneers
The per-tooth price is fixed. These are the things that move your total up or down.
Number of veneers
Set by how many teeth show when you smile fully. Four covers the front incisors, six adds the canines, and most full smiles use 16 to 20.
Material
E.max porcelain costs more than composite up front but lasts longer and resists stains, which usually lowers the cost per year of wear.
Your clinical starting point
Gum treatment, decay or a root canal found at the evaluation is quoted separately, before you commit to veneers.
Shade and characterization
Very specific shades, translucency and characterization need more lab time at many clinics. Before your visit, browse our veneer color shades guide and the BL1 vs BL2 comparison.
Treating in stages
Per-tooth pricing lets you start with fewer veneers and add more later, but porcelain made months apart can differ slightly in shade. If you stage treatment, do all visible front teeth in one session.
Grinding and aftercare
If your bite shows grinding, a night guard becomes part of the plan, and warranty coverage assumes you wear it.
Cheap Veneers in Colombia: red flags to watch for

- Reviews only on the clinic's own website, none on Google
- Pressure to book and pay before your clinical evaluation
Veneers Cost in Colombia: frequently asked questions
How much are veneers in Colombia?
At Dr. Yazmín Escudero's clinic in Medellín, one IPS e.max porcelain veneer costs $345 USD. Across reputable Colombian clinics, porcelain veneers typically run $300 to $500 per tooth and composite veneers $120 to $250 per tooth, depending on the material, the clinic and your case.
How much is a full set of veneers in Colombia?
A full set of 20 IPS e.max veneers costs $6,900 USD at this clinic, the same as 20 single veneers, with three hotel nights, airport and appointment rides and a bilingual coordinator included. Flights are not included. Many full smiles need 16 to 20 veneers; your exact number is confirmed at the clinical evaluation.
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Colombia compared with the US?
The US national average for a porcelain veneer is about $1,425 per tooth, with a typical range of $930 to $2,440. At $345 per IPS e.max veneer, patients of this clinic pay roughly 76% less than the US average, before travel costs.
How much do E.max veneers cost?
E.max is the brand name of a lithium disilicate ceramic and the most common type of porcelain veneer. In Colombia, E.max veneers usually fall in the $300 to $500 per-tooth range; at Dr. Escudero's clinic they cost $345 per tooth, made in the in-house lab.
Are veneers cheaper in Medellín, Bogotá, Cali or Cartagena?
Published ranges are close: about $300 to $450 per porcelain veneer in Medellín, $300 to $500 in Bogotá, $250 to $400 in Cali and $300 to $500 in Cartagena. The city matters less than the dentist, the material written on your quote and what the price includes.
Why are veneers cheaper in Colombia?
Mostly economics: lower clinic overhead, lower labor costs and a favorable exchange rate for patients paying in US dollars. The ceramic itself does not have to be different. Ask every clinic to name the brand and type of material on your quote.
Are cheap veneers in Colombia safe?
A low price is not a problem by itself; a price that hides missing steps is. Be wary of quotes that fix the number of veneers before anyone has seen your teeth, skip the gum, decay and bite check, or do not name the material. Safety depends on the dentist and the clinic, so verify the license in ReTHUS and ask for the warranty in writing.
Is it veneers cost in Colombia or Columbia?
Colombia, with two o's, is the South American country where Medellín is. "Columbia veneers cost" is a common misspelling of the same search, and every price on this page refers to Medellín, Colombia.
How many days do I need in Colombia for veneers?
Standard veneer cases at this clinic are completed in three clinic days, and the full-set package includes three hotel nights. If the evaluation finds gum disease, decay or an unstable bite, those are treated first, which can mean extra appointments or a second trip. You are told on the first day.
Is there a deposit, and how do I pay?
A $300 USD deposit reserves your treatment dates. It is non-refundable and paid through a secure Bold payment link. The balance is paid at the clinic by card, bank transfer or cash, after your final quote is confirmed at the clinical evaluation and 3D scan.
Does the price include a warranty?
Yes. Veneers placed at the El Poblado clinic carry a 1-year limited written warranty on materials and workmanship. It does not cover trauma, grinding without the prescribed night guard or neglected hygiene, and flights and hotel for a return visit are not included.
Can I get a price before I travel?
Yes. Send three photos of your smile on WhatsApp to +57 300 300 0730. Dr. Escudero's team replies with an honest candidacy assessment and an itemized quote, free and with no obligation.
