Price and payment
How much does a full smile cost?+
US$6,000 for a full-mouth smile design (upper and lower, about 20 porcelain veneers) in qualifying cases, including 2 nights in a 5-star hotel, VIP transport and a 20-year warranty.
What does "qualifying cases" mean?+
That your teeth and gums are healthy enough for veneers without extra treatment. The free virtual assessment confirms it; anything extra is quoted before you travel.
How can I pay?+
Cash in U.S. dollars or Colombian pesos, debit or credit cards, and domestic or international bank transfers.
Why is it so much cheaper than in the U.S.?+
Lower operating costs in Colombia and an in-house lab — not cheaper materials.
