- Dentsply Sirona CEREC — same CAD/CAM system used in top US practices
- Digital Smile Design protocol — precision-planned, patient-approved results

- —Single-tooth diagnosis, rarely holistic smile planning

From a single veneer to a complete rehabilitation — all planned, designed, and delivered in-house.
Dental Veneers / Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct shape, color, gaps, and minor misalignment. We use E-max lithium disilicate and feldspathic porcelain — the gold standard for natural translucency, matching the light-reflective properties of real enamel. Results last 15–25 years.
Dental Veneers · E-max · Feldspathic Porcelain · Veneers Mexico
Digital Smile Design (DSD)
A comprehensive esthetic planning protocol that maps your facial proportions, lip dynamics, and gum line to design your ideal smile before a single tooth is touched. Using dedicated DSD software and intraoral 3D scans, you see your result digitally — and approve it — before treatment begins.
Digital Smile Design · DSD · Smile Design Mexico · CAD/CAM
Smile Makeover / Holistic Smile Makeover
A curated combination of cosmetic procedures — veneers, crowns, whitening, gum contouring, and orthodontic touch-ups — designed as one cohesive plan to achieve a complete aesthetic transformation. Our prosthodontist treats your smile as a whole, not tooth by tooth.
Smile Makeover · Holistic Smile Makeover · Cosmetic Dentistry Mexico
Zirconia Crowns & E-max Crowns
Full-coverage restorations milled in-house using our CEREC CAD/CAM unit. Monolithic zirconia offers unmatched strength for posterior teeth; E-max provides translucency ideal for anterior teeth. No metal substructure — no grey gum line. Both are VITA-shade matched and delivered same-day in most cases.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation
For patients whose teeth have significant wear, structural damage, or bite collapse, full mouth rehabilitation restores every tooth using a combination of implants, crowns, veneers, and prosthetics — planned and delivered under one roof. Also called full mouth restoration or full mouth reconstruction.

Teeth Whitening & Composite Bonding
In-office Zoom whitening achieves 8–12 shades brighter in a single 90-minute session. Composite bonding corrects minor chips, gaps, and irregularities with no enamel removal — a reversible, affordable entry into smile enhancement. Often combined with veneers as a pre-treatment step.

How much do dental veneers cost in Mexico?
+
At DrDiente, porcelain veneers start from $920 USD per tooth and composite/resin veneers from $305 USD per tooth, compared to $1,100–$3,500 per tooth in the US — a saving of up to $2,500 per tooth. A customized full smile design (typically 8–10 veneers from $920/tooth) costs a fraction of the $15,000–$25,000 charged in the US, with savings of up to 70%. USD figures are approximate (converted from the clinic's published MXN list) and confirmed at your free virtual consultation.
Is cosmetic dentistry in Mexico safe and high quality?
+
Yes. DrDiente uses the same materials and technology as top US and European practices: Ivoclar Vivadent E-max CAD blocks, CEREC Dentsply Sirona milling, and iTero intraoral scanners. The clinic is COFEPRIS certified (#2409132002A00145), Mexico's equivalent of the FDA. Dr. Ariza has trained in Aesthetic Rehabilitation internationally. The savings come from lower operating costs in Mexico — not from cheaper materials.
What materials are used for veneers in Mexico at DrDiente?
+
We use E-max lithium disilicate and feldspathic porcelain — both are ceramic, lab-grade materials with natural light-transmissive properties. Porcelain is what we recommend for permanent, long-lasting results (15–25 years). Composite/resin veneers are also available from $305 USD per tooth as an affordable, reversible option. Crowns are milled from monolithic zirconia (for strength) or E-max (for anterior esthetics), using our in-house CEREC CAD/CAM unit — the same technology used in top clinics in Beverly Hills and New York.
How long does a smile makeover take in Mexico City?
+
Most cosmetic procedures are completed in 2–7 days: porcelain veneers and E-max crowns can be completed from 3 days with CEREC technology — even a 10-veneer smile makeover — depending on case complexity; a full mouth rehabilitation takes 7 days maximum. We plan your entire treatment schedule before you arrive to minimize your stay without compromising results.
Do I need to stay in Mexico for my veneers?
+
For a typical veneer case, yes — you'll need 2–4 days in Mexico City. This allows for the digital scan, Digital Smile Design preview, tooth preparation, and final bonding. Because we mill restorations in-house with CEREC, we eliminate the 2-week lab wait common elsewhere. Many patients combine the treatment with a short leisure stay in Polanco.
Will my veneers look natural?
+
Yes — natural-looking results are central to Dr. Ariza's approach. Using Digital Smile Design, we map your facial proportions and smile dynamics before preparing any teeth. E-max porcelain has a similar refractive index to natural enamel, making it virtually indistinguishable in photos and in person. You approve the design digitally before we touch your teeth.
What is Digital Smile Design (DSD)?
+
Digital Smile Design is a planning protocol that uses photos, videos, and 3D intraoral scans to digitally preview your new smile before any treatment begins. The software maps your facial midline, lip symmetry, and tooth proportions to create a customized blueprint. You see — and approve — the result on screen before the first tooth is prepared. It's the difference between guessing and knowing.
Can I get a free smile assessment before traveling?
+
Absolutely. Send us a front and side smile selfie plus any existing X-rays via WhatsApp or our form below. Dr. Ariza reviews your case and sends a preliminary assessment within 24 hours. Your full virtual consultation — including a Digital Smile Design preview via video call — is completely FREE, with your treatment plan and exact written price in USD before you book a single flight. No commitment required.
Do I need a passport?
+
Yes, a valid US passport is required to enter Mexico (a Real ID only works for domestic US flights). If your passport has lapsed, renewal takes 4–6 weeks — so check its expiration date as soon as you start planning your trip.
What if something goes wrong after I fly home?
+
You're covered three ways. First, all ceramic work comes with a written warranty — adjustments within 12 months are included. Second, you receive complete digital records (3D scans, X-rays, and your treatment plan) that any US dentist can use. Third, you get 12 months of virtual follow-up: scheduled video check-ins at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, plus a direct WhatsApp line to Dr. Ariza throughout your recovery.
Your dream smile is
one conversation away.
