Dental Veneers in
Mexico City.
Porcelain & Composite. Up to ~60% Less.

Porcelain veneers cost from ~$900 USD per tooth at DrDiente, compared to $1,000–$2,500 per tooth in the US — a saving of up to ~60%. Composite (resin) veneers cost from ~$300 USD per tooth vs $650–$1,500 in the US. A full smile of 8 porcelain veneers runs roughly ~$7,200 USD at DrDiente versus $8,000–$20,000 in the US. USD figures are approximate (based on Clínica DrDiente's published MXN list) and confirmed at your virtual consultation. The savings come from lower operating costs in Mexico, not cheaper materials.

A dental veneer is a thin, custom-made shell bonded to the front surface of a tooth to improve its color, shape, size, or alignment. Veneers correct discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor crowding to create a uniform, natural-looking smile. They come in two main types: porcelain (ceramic, lab- or CEREC-fabricated) and composite resin (sculpted directly on the tooth in one visit).

Porcelain veneers are the premium choice: they last 10–20+ years, resist staining, and look the most natural, but cost more and usually need 2–3 visits. Composite veneers are more affordable (from ~$300 USD/tooth), can be done same-day in a single visit, and are easily repaired, but last 4–8 years and may stain over time. Choose porcelain for a long-term full smile makeover; choose composite for budget-friendly or smaller corrections. Dr. Ariza recommends the right option for your case during your consultation.

It depends on how many teeth show when you smile. Many patients get 6 veneers (the "social six" upper front teeth) for a visible improvement, 8 veneers to cover a wider smile line, or 10 veneers for a complete, symmetrical full-arch smile. During your Digital Smile Design consult, Dr. Ariza analyzes your smile width and lip dynamics to recommend the exact number for a balanced result.

Yes. DrDiente uses the same materials and technology as top US and European practices: Ivoclar Vivadent IPS e.max ceramic, CEREC CAD/CAM milling, and iTero intraoral scanners. The clinic is COFEPRIS certified (#2409132002A00145), Mexico's equivalent of the FDA, with sterilization protocols exceeding ADA guidelines. Dr. Ariza trained in Aesthetic Rehabilitation internationally.

Porcelain veneers typically last 10–20 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular checkups; many last well beyond that. Composite/resin veneers last about 4–8 years and may need polishing or replacement sooner. Longevity depends on care: avoid biting hard objects, wear a nightguard if you grind, and maintain routine cleanings.

Composite veneers are often completed in a single same-day visit. Porcelain veneers typically require 2–4 days in Mexico City for the digital scan, smile design preview, tooth preparation, and final bonding. Because we mill many restorations in-house with CEREC, we eliminate the 2-week lab wait common elsewhere. Many patients combine treatment with a short stay in Polanco.

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 refractive index similar to natural enamel, making veneers virtually indistinguishable in photos and in person. You approve the design digitally before we touch your teeth.

Modern veneers require only minimal enamel reduction, and in some cases (especially composite and ultra-thin porcelain) little to no enamel removal at all. The procedure is conservative and preserves most of your natural tooth structure. Once bonded, veneers protect the front surface of the tooth. Dr. Ariza uses digital planning to remove as little enamel as possible.
