Top 5 Things to Consider When Getting Medical Procedures in Colombia (Porcelain Veneers)

Since the Beginning of the XX century, Colombia has become one of the most important hubs of medical tourism in Latin America. However, not all doctors are made the same.

In order to select the ideal doctor and city to book your procedure, it is necessary to review your budget, taste and interests.

1. Most doctors will have an online consultation platform. Use it to gather several quotes and select your best alternative.

2. Search for doctors with international certifications and diplomas. This type of document will ensure that you are using the best posible service in the country.

3. Most Colombians don't know English. Be sure to ask for potential travel packages that include translators or bilingual drivers. This will make your stay much more confortable.

4. Decide whether you want to get long lasting, durable veneers or cheap ones. There are two main categories for veneers:

-Composite resin veneers: This procedure takes around 4 hours to perform. It usually lasts 5-7 years depending on how well it is taken care of. Although it takes much less time to make, this procedure delivers less natural results. Composite veneers tend to stain and chip much easily.

-Emax Porcelain veneers: This procedures takes 3-5 days to perform, but the results last 20+ years and look much more natural. Additionaly, porcelain veneers are more resistant and do not stain.

5. Have a schedule before coming to Colombia. Since you will have a couple of spare days in between your appointments, make sure you use this time to visit around the city, get to know the local cuisine and try some of their cultural events. Colombian restaurant scene is quite developed across every major city. The incredible thing about this is that you will be able to 'fine dine' for approximately $15 USD (50,000 COP ) per person. Indulge yourself in our cuisine!
