# Frequently asked *questions.*

## 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.

## Safety and quality

### Is it safe to get veneers in Colombia?

Yes, with a dentist you can verify. Dr. Mendoza has 17+ years of experience, 1,000+ smiles, 4.7★ on Google (73 reviews) and a written 20-year warranty.

### What warranty do I get?

A 20-year warranty certificate for veneers and smile design, physical and digital, in your name.

### Does it hurt?

The procedure uses digital anesthesia; most patients say it feels like a cleaning.

## Travel

### Do I need a visa?

Not if you are a U.S. citizen — just a valid passport and a return ticket.

### How long do I need to stay?

Veneers are ready in 24 hours; the package includes 2 hotel nights. Implants usually require more than one trip.

### Is transport included?

Yes: airport → hotel → clinic → airport.

### Where are you located?
