Why Get Veneers in Mexico?

The price is lower. The quality isn't. Here's why.

Same Materials

IPS e.max by Ivoclar Vivadent — the gold standard in porcelain veneers worldwide. Mexican clinics order from the same suppliers as US dentists. Same product, same warranty, same longevity.

Same Lab Technology

CAD/CAM milling, digital smile design, and 3D imaging. Our partner clinics use the same CEREC and Planmeca equipment found in top US cosmetic dental offices. Some offer same-day veneers.

Same Training

Many of our partner dentists completed postgraduate training in the US or Europe. They attend the same international conferences (AAE, ADA, AACD) and hold certifications from recognized cosmetic dentistry programs.

So why is it cheaper? Lower rent, lower labor costs, lower malpractice insurance, and a favorable exchange rate. Mexican dentists don't carry $300,000+ in student loans. The savings pass directly to you — not because they cut corners.

What to Expect: Your Veneer Timeline

Most veneer cases require 2 visits over 5-7 days. Here's the typical process.

1

Visit 1 — Consultation + Preparation

Day 1

  • Full consultation, X-rays, and digital smile design preview
  • You approve the design before any work begins
  • Teeth are gently prepared (thin layer of enamel removed)
  • Impressions taken and sent to the lab
  • Temporary veneers placed — you leave with a great-looking smile
...

Between Visits — 3-5 Days

Your permanent veneers are crafted in the lab. Enjoy your time in Mexico — explore, relax, hit the beach if you're in Cancun. Eat normally with your temporaries (just avoid very sticky or hard foods).

2

Visit 2 — Final Veneers Placed

Day 5-7

  • Temporary veneers removed
  • Final porcelain veneers tried in — you check the fit, color, and shape
  • Veneers permanently bonded once you approve
  • Final bite adjustment and polish
  • You fly home the same day or next day

Same-Day Option Available

Some partner clinics have in-house CAD/CAM milling (CEREC). For cases of 4-6 veneers, they can design, mill, and place your permanent veneers in a single visit. Ask about same-day availability when you submit your case.

Veneers + Vacation in Cancun

Get your smile makeover in one of the world's top beach destinations. With 5-7 days between visits, you have plenty of time to enjoy Cancun.

Why Cancun for Veneers

  • Direct flights from most major US cities (2-4 hours)
  • World-class cosmetic dental clinics in the Hotel Zone
  • Recover at the beach between visits — soft food and smoothies are everywhere
  • English widely spoken in tourist areas and at partner clinics
  • Even with flights and hotel, you save thousands compared to US prices

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about getting veneers in Mexico.

How much do veneers cost in Mexico?

Porcelain veneers in Mexico cost $350-600 per tooth, compared to $1,000-2,500 in the US. E-max veneers run $400-700 per tooth. A full smile makeover (8 veneers) typically costs $2,800-4,800 in Mexico vs $8,000-20,000 in the US. The exact price depends on the veneer type, the clinic, and how many teeth you're covering. Submit your case to get an exact quote from verified clinics.

Are Mexican veneers the same quality?

Yes. Top clinics in Mexico use the same materials as US dentists — IPS e.max by Ivoclar Vivadent, the same brand placed by cosmetic dentists in Beverly Hills and Manhattan. Many Mexican cosmetic dentists trained in the US or Europe and use the same CAD/CAM technology and digital smile design software. The cost difference comes from lower overhead and labor costs, not lower quality materials or training.

How long do I need to stay in Mexico for veneers?

Plan for 5-7 days with two clinic visits. Visit 1: consultation, tooth preparation, and temporary veneers. Visit 2 (3-5 days later): final porcelain veneers are placed. Some clinics with in-house CAD/CAM labs can do same-day veneers in a single visit, though this is typically limited to 4-6 teeth. Your treatment plan will specify the exact timeline for your case.

Do veneers hurt?

The tooth preparation is done under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, most patients experience mild sensitivity for 1-3 days, especially to hot and cold. Over-the-counter ibuprofen is usually enough. The sensitivity is significantly less than what you'd experience with a dental implant or extraction — most patients are eating normally within 24-48 hours.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

High-quality porcelain veneers (IPS e.max) last 15-20 years with proper care. Composite veneers last 5-7 years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, avoiding biting hard objects, and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth. The material and craftsmanship are identical whether placed in the US or Mexico — the lifespan is the same.

Can I see what my veneers will look like before I commit?

Yes. Most of our partner clinics use digital smile design (DSD) technology. Before any tooth preparation begins, you'll see a digital mockup of your new smile on screen. Some clinics also create a physical wax-up or temporary 'trial smile' so you can wear your new look before committing to the final veneers. You approve the design before any permanent work begins.
