How many days do I need to stay in Medellín for my smile design?

The clinical workflow takes 5 to 8 business days (around 7 to 10 calendar days). This ensures sufficient time for 3D scans, aesthetic mockup trials, artisan laboratory sintering, and bite verification prior to your departure.

What happens if I have an issue after returning to my home country?

You have direct WhatsApp communication with Dra. Angélica and Dr. Esteban. We provide you with a comprehensive clinical case dossier detailing the specific ceramics, bonding resins, and shades used.

Can I eat normally once my veneers are bonded?

Yes. Once bonded to healthy tooth enamel, dental ceramics regain remarkable compressive strength. You can enjoy normal foods; simply avoid biting into non-food items, ice, or hard shells with your front teeth.

How do I start the process if I live outside Colombia?

Message us on WhatsApp (+57 320 820 1361). We will send you instructions to take 5 simple photos of your smile. The doctors will review your anatomy and share a tailored clinical assessment before you book your flights.

How our smile design process works

1. Clinical evaluation and high-resolution imaging

We assess your gum health, bite dynamics, and facial balance using high-resolution dental photography and 3D digital scans.

2. Digital simulation and intraoral mockup test

We design your ideal tooth anatomy using CAD/CAM software and place a temporary mockup directly in your mouth so you preview shape, length, and speech phonetics.

3. Conservative tooth preparation and temporaries

We perform microscopic, ultra-conservative tooth preparation only where needed to preserve your natural enamel, followed by custom temporaries.

4. Final ceramic bonding and bite calibration

Master ceramists craft each veneer from high-translucency feldspathic ceramic or lithium disilicate. We bond each piece with resin cement and calibrate your bite.
