If you thought dental veneers were too expensive, how about considering affordable dental veneers in Costa Rica to save up to 70% compared to the cost at home? Book with Dental Departures to get the best price, guaranteed.

Veneers are typically classified as a cosmetic procedure, which means they are generally not covered by dental insurance. However, you can significantly reduce your costs by opting for veneer treatment at our verified partner clinics in Costa Rica. These clinics offer high-quality services at competitive prices, ensuring you get the smile you desire without breaking the bank. 

The procedure is non-invasive, allowing you to partake in activities you want to without undue dental pain. Combining dental care with a vacation is an attractive option for many. Costa Rica's beautiful scenery and tourist-friendly environment make it a popular destination for high-quality dental treatments.

Costa Rica is a great option for a holiday destination as it offers a wide range of activities and attractions that cater to all interests and budgets. Located just a few hours away from most US cities, this tropical paradise is perfect for a quick getaway or a longer vacation, especially if you are looking for affordable dental treatment. With its diverse landscape of rainforests, mountains, and beaches, as well as its friendly and hospitable locals, Costa Rica is a great place to explore. 

Costa Rica is small but has it all—rainforests, mountains, beaches, and welcoming hosts. If you like exploring there’s plenty to see and Costa Rica’s compact size means you can cover a lot of ground in a little time.

Whether you are interested in adventure, relaxation, or simply soaking up the local culture, you can do it all in Costa Rica.

Transforming crooked, stained, and damaged teeth is relatively simple with dental veneers. However, they are prohibitively expensive in the US, Canada, and the EU. If you are looking to get several veneers, the savings will be more than enough to pay for flights, accommodation, and some of your holiday expenses. 

Our quality-checked dentists in Costa Rica ensure your dental veneers will be of the same high standard that you would expect to find from your dentist at home. Furthermore, all our dentists warranty their work, as well as work performed in the lab. Many of our English-speaking dentists have trained internationally, including in the US, at reputable institutions, and are members of the American Dental Association.

Our best clinics use the same popular brands and materials used by the labs at home, such as eMax porcelain veneers.

Booking an appointment through Dental Departures will ensure you receive your dental care from a quality-checked dentist, giving you peace of mind that your dentist and clinic have been verified, and that procedures and lab work are guaranteed.

The material used to create your dental veneers will affect the cost. In the US, the average price for a porcelain veneer is around $1,500 per tooth. In Costa Rica, a porcelain veneer costs only $500 on average.

If you are seeking to change your smile and need multiple dental veneers, a trip to Costa Rica will save you thousands, and provide you with a stunning smile for years to come.

For top dental clinics in Costa Rica, our patients give high praise to the following:

– All-on-6 Costa Rica by Freer Dental, San Jose

– Aesthetic Dental Care, San Jose

– DDS Dental Costa Rica - Dr. Prada,  Escazu

Depending on the clinic and type of veneer, you will need to spend 5-10 days in Costa Rica for your treatment, including an appointment with your dentist on the first and last days, allowing time for the lab to create your veneers.

If a clinic has the latest CAD/CAM technology studio and you require only one or two veneers, it's possible to get veneers done in a day or two.

At your first appointment, your tooth will be prepared to receive the veneer by shaving a thin layer of enamel from the front of the tooth. Impressions are then made and sent to the lab.

After your dentist has received the veneers from the lab, you will return to have them fitted. The veneers will sit comfortably on the tooth from where the enamel has been shaved, held in place by a strong light-activated adhesive that bonds the veneer to the tooth. The procedure for each tooth only takes a few minutes, after which your dentist will clean your teeth to complete the process. 

For patients who are apprehensive about dental treatment, dental veneers are a painless and easy procedure, requiring minimal interference with your tooth structure, and creating a white, even smile that will greatly improve your appearance.

While veneers may not be appropriate for every patient, they offer a cosmetic solution for various dental issues affecting the front teeth, such as:

– Broken or chipped teeth

– Small gaps between teeth

– Stained or discolored teeth

– Need to replace old filling

– Uneven or crooked teeth

If your teeth are currently healthy and free from gum disease, cavities, teeth grinding, and other significant problems, but you are dissatisfied with certain aspects of your smile–you might be an ideal candidate for veneers.

Depending on your tooth health condition, you may also consider getting a dental crown that covers the whole tooth and is made of thicker material.
