If you thought affordable dental veneers didn’t exist, it might be time to expand your horizons a little; by travelling abroad, you can make big savings. Reward yourself with a gorgeous new smile and high-quality, low-cost dental veneers in Rijeka, the glorious Croatian port city on the Kvarner Bay.

If there’s something about your teeth that’s spoiling your smile—a discoloured or misshapen tooth, crooked teeth or a broken tooth—fix it with this simple, but effective procedure.

You’ll save around 80% on dental veneers prices in Rijeka compared to other major countries, the UK and US. Take a look at the table below to compare prices with your home country:

Note: the prices above are approximate. Please check our current prices for your selected clinic for estimated costs of treatment.

A dental veneer is a tooth-like shell that is fixed to the front of your tooth, essentially creating an attractive white tooth that looks pristine. The shell is made from hard-wearing material and is custom-made to fit your individual tooth.

Dental veneers can be used to fit over one or two problem teeth, but are also effective in rows to correct a crooked smile—negating the need for time-consuming orthodontic treatment (braces).

1: Dental veneers are natural-looking and can be colour-matched to the rest of your teeth. If you are having veneers attached to all of your teeth, you may want to go for a brilliant white, Hollywood smile (although heed your dentist’s advice and don’t over-do it).

2: The treatment is quick. Once the veneers have been made, your dentist can fit them in just one session. If you only want one or two veneers, it may be possible to get them in one day, while-you-wait, if your dental clinic offers CAD/CAM technology.

3: Veneers are long-lasting if you look after them properly—between seven and 15 years, depending on the material you choose.

4: Veneers require minimum maintenance—just a normal dental hygiene regime with twice-daily brushing, flossing and regular trips to the dentist.

5: Veneers offer a conservative cosmetic approach to improving the shape and colour of the teeth as they don’t require the extensive shaping that dental crowns do; rather, they offer a strong, cosmetically-pleasing alternative.

What About the Disadvantages and Other Considerations?

1: You will need to have good oral health for dental veneers. Any tooth decay or active gum disease will need to be treated and you will need to have your teeth professionally by the dentist to remove any hardened plaque (tartar).

2: If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) or jaw clenching, veneers are probably not going to be a good option as you will likely damage them or cause them to fall off.

3: You will need to have an excellent oral hygiene routine to maintain the health of your teeth.

4: You may experience increased sensitivity to hot and cold after you have had veneers fitted.

The dental veneers procedure requires two or three visits to the dentist and a couple of days in-country. These can all be done during the same short trip, giving you a number of days to explore Rijeka between.

Consultation, Examination and Treatment Planning

At the first visit to the dentist, your teeth and gums will be examined so the dentist can assess your oral health. If you are suitable for the procedure, the dentist will discuss the various materials available and their pros and cons, so you can make a decision on what is best for you.

Tooth Preparation

A sliver of enamel is removed from the front of the teeth receiving the veneers. This is so the veneers fit flush with your other teeth. The dentist will take impressions of your mouth which are sent to a laboratory where your veneers are custom-made.

Veneers Placement

After several days, your dentist will receive your veneers, so you can go back to have them fitted. The dentist will hold the veneers up to each tooth to check for fit and colour. Any minor adjustments are made by the dentist before the front of the teeth receiving veneers are etched slightly to provide a rough surface, which provides a firm bond. A light-activated adhesive is applied, and the veneers are finally fixed securely to the front of your teeth.
