Your Smile Deserves the Best Dental Care in Colombia

Porcelain veneers are primarily made of high-quality dental ceramic; they are highly resistant, durable, and capable of mimicking the natural appearance of teeth. The materials used are feldspathic porcelain and lithium disilicate. Feldspathic porcelain is known for its translucency, closely resembling natural dental enamel, while lithium disilicate is valued for its great strength and durability.

To ensure that your treatment is carried out effectively and without any issues, we recommend planning a 5-day stay in Colombia. This will allow us to complete all phases of the treatment, including any necessary follow-up consultations, and ensure that you are completely satisfied with the results before your return. During your stay, we will make sure to provide you with all the assistance you need to make your experience as comfortable and pleasant as possible. We look forward to welcoming you soon and helping you achieve a healthy and radiant smile.

The need to shave the teeth for veneers depends on the type of veneers and the specific situation of each patient. Here is an explanation of the different types:

• Porcelain Veneers: Generally, they require slight enamel wear to ensure that the veneers fit properly and look natural. The wear is usually minimal, approximately 0.3mm to 0.5mm.
• Composite (Resin) Veneers: These may require less preparation compared to porcelain veneers, and in some cases, no wear is needed at all.
• The dentist will evaluate the patient’s dental situation and determine the necessary amount of preparation, if any, as each patient is a unique case.

Preparation and pre-care for a dental treatment can vary depending on the type of procedure to be performed. However, here are some general guidelines that patients should follow to ensure that the treatment is as successful and complication-free as possible:

Before the Treatment

1. Medication: Follow the dentist’s instructions regarding the use of medications such as antibiotics or pain relievers before the treatment. Make sure to inform the dentist about any medication you are currently taking.
2. Initial Consultation: Have a thorough consultation with the dentist to discuss your needs, expectations, and the detailed treatment plan.
3. Medical History and Health Evaluation: Provide the dentist with a complete medical history, including allergies, current medications, and pre-existing medical conditions. This is essential to identify any potential complications or necessary adjustments in the treatment.
4. Examinations and X-Rays: Dental examinations such as CT scans may be necessary when dental implants are required, or X-rays to evaluate the health of your teeth and gums before starting the treatment.
5. Oral Hygiene Care: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing regularly.
6. Specific Preparation Depending on the Treatment: Veneers: You may need to avoid hard or sticky foods before the procedure to protect your teeth. Dental Implants: You may need specific instructions regarding food intake before the surgery.
7. Additional Considerations:
8. Quit Smoking: If you are a smoker, it is highly recommended to quit smoking before and after the treatment to improve healing and reduce the risk of complications if any surgical procedure is required.
9. Medication: Follow the dentist’s instructions regarding the use of medications such as antibiotics or pain relievers before the treatment. Make sure to inform the dentist about any medication you are currently taking.
