At Dental Departures, we partner with verified dentists across the Philippines, and only feature clinics that meet our rigorous standards. Clinics are listed after passing our stringent background checks, which verify credentials such as doctor’s qualifications, professional memberships and patient satisfaction.

What Are Veneers?


Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are used to correct a variety of dental issues, including:

– Discolouration: To cover teeth that are discoloured due to root canal treatment, stains from food and drinks, tobacco, medications or excessive fluoride.

– Wear and tear: To repair worn-down teeth.

– Chips and cracks: Veneers can cover teeth that are chipped or broken.

– Gaps: To close small spaces between teeth.

– Misalignment: veneers can correct minor misalignment or irregularly shaped teeth.

Types of Dental Veneers

– Composite veneers are made from resin which is similar to tooth-coloured fillings. They are less natural-looking than porcelain veneers but can still provide good cosmetic results which can last between 5-7 years. They require enamel removal before placement but less than that of a crown procedure. Composite veneers require less waiting time as they can be placed after enamel removal. The cost of composite veneers is typically more affordable than porcelain veneers.

– Porcelain veneers are made from high-quality ceramic. They resemble natural teeth and are resistant to staining. They normally last longer than composite veneers, approximately 10-15 years or more with proper care. Porcelain veneers also require some enamel removal before application and are typically more expensive due to the material and process involved.

How Much Can I Save in Manila Compared to Australia?


The cost of veneers in Manila depends on the type of material you choose. The cost of porcelain veneers in Australia averages around AUD $2,000 per tooth; in Manila: around AUD $460.

While prices vary according to the material used in creating your veneers, you can realize big savings by having your dental veneers in Manila.

Why Have Dental Veneers in Manila?


Manila, the bustling capital of the Philippines, has emerged as a prime destination for high-quality dental care, attracting patients from around the world. 

The city boasts a growing number of state-of-the-art dental clinics equipped with modern technology and staffed by highly trained professionals with English proficiency.

Filipino dentists undergo rigorous training and are subject to clinical standards similar to your dentist at home. This level of expertise is reflected in the wide range of dental services available, from routine cleanings and fillings to complex procedures such as dental implants and orthodontics. The best dental clinics are well-equipped with modern technology, safety and hygiene protocols are maintained and the dental labs in Manila use high-grade materials. 

Our quality-checked dentists will ensure your dental veneers will be of the same high standard that you would expect to find from a dentist at home. Furthermore, all our dentists guarantee their work, as well as work performed in the lab.

One of the most compelling reasons to choose Manila for dental treatment is the significant cost savings without compromising on quality. Dental care in Manila is generally much more affordable compared to Western countries - and even neighboring dental travel destinations - allowing patients to access top-tier treatments at a fraction of the cost. 

The experience is further enhanced by the exceptional hospitality Filipinos are known for. Patients can expect personalised care and attention throughout their treatment. Additionally, combining dental care with a visit to Manila offers a unique opportunity to explore the city's rich culture, vibrant history and scenic attractions.

Full-service facilities in Manila, such as Smile More Dental Clinic, specialise in veneers,  as well as implants and crown procedures.

What's Involved in the Veneer Procedure?


If your dentist has in-house ceramic studios (CEREC) you may be able to get your porcelain veneers in Manila in one day. However, veneer treatment often takes two visits a few days apart, to allow for lab work.

Below is a detailed summary of the veneer procedure, which generally involves the following key steps:

Consultation: The process begins with a thorough evaluation where your dentist examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and discusses your desired results. A personalized treatment plan is then developed.

Preparation: To make room for the veneer, the dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from the tooth's front surface.

Impression: An impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a dental lab for the creation of porcelain veneers. This typically takes less than a week, during which you will receive temporary veneers. Composite veneers, however, can be applied immediately after tooth preparation.

Placement: Once ready, the veneers will be affixed to your teeth with an adhesive that uses a special laser light to activate. For composite veneers, the resin material is directly applied and sculpted onto the teeth.

Final Touches: The veneers are adjusted to ensure a natural appearance and comfortable fit. When you are satisfied with the work, your dentist will clean and polish your teeth thoroughly, and the procedure is complete. 

To ensure the longevity of your veneers, regular dental care and good oral hygiene are essential. With proper maintenance, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years, while composite veneers typically last 5-7 years. Your dentist will offer specific instructions on how to care for your veneers. Maintain your daily oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing, schedule regular professional cleanings, and use caution when eating hard foods.

Top in every respect The Medic Antalya Dental Clinic, The team is not only highly competent but also incredibly friendly. I can recommend this clinic with a clear conscience

I was there 3 weeks ago and had my lower jaw done. The first contact was very good. After I sent the X-ray images to the clinic, very easily via WhatsApp, specific questions were asked to assess the current situations. All eventualities were discussed/mentioned. I then received a cost plan very quickly. The appointment arrangement also worked perfectly. Flights booked, that’s it. When we arrived in Antalya (due to a delay at 3 a.m.) we were personally picked up and taken to the hotel despite the delay. On the morning of the operation we were picked up by the driver in good time. The treatment that followed was the best treatment I have ever received from a dentist. Since I am an “anxious patient”, I was immediately given something to calm me down. Then, on the chair, a spray was sprayed into my mouth before the injections, which numbed everything a bit so that I hardly noticed the injections. In total the treatment lasted 3 hours. I really didn't feel any pain at any time. You just have to “endure” the noises and vibrations. I was then given painkillers and antibiotics and taken back to the hotel. When the anesthesia wore off I only had slight pain. In the evening I was able to eat mashed potatoes and fried eggs. I don't use the temporary solution that was made. Since I also had bone augmentation, no solid temporary solution could be used. Now I'll wait until January and then the teeth will finally be firmly attached to the implants. So I can recommend this clinic without reservation.

Just got back from Antalya in turkey with my temporary fixed dentures after have the first part of my “All on 6” treatment. These guys have been amazing with myself and my two friends who both had veneer crowns. I can’t recommend them enough if you plan on getting any dental work done over in turkey. Once I’ve finished my treatment in about 6 months time I will leave another review or update this one. UPDATE!!! Now completely finished my all on 6 treatment and wow. I have an amazing smile. Still the best place to go I’m my opinion. All the staff are very friendly. VIP transfers. Amazing dental facilities. I would recommend them to anyone who was looking to get some dental work.
