What Are Veneers?

Veneers, usually fabricated from porcelain, are a thin, semi-translucent “shell,” custom made to fit precisely over an existing tooth. They are permanently cemented and are held in place by a resin that adheres to the back of the veneer to the front of your tooth.

The finished result is extremely strong and durable. Though veneers are not suitable for every patient, they are a cosmetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions affecting the front teeth, including:

• closing diastema (spaces between teeth)
• restoring broken or chipped teeth
• covering unsightly, stained or washed-out fillings
• whitening permanently stained or discolored teeth
• correcting uneven or crooked teeth 

Dental veneers are one of the simplest of cosmetic dentistry procedures to perform and one of the most effective for transforming damaged, stained or crooked teeth into a white straight smile.

Dental veneers are not an invasive procedure and do not take away a large portion of the tooth as do some other treatments. 

Why Have Dental Veneers in the Philippines? 

Because dental veneers involve minimal discomfort, patients are able to enjoy a holiday or side trips between and after their dental appointments. The Philippines is a tremendous country to visit for a holiday: beautiful beaches, mountains, volcanoes and rainforests offer a wide array of different sightseeing and pastimes. 

Dental veneers are a straightforward procedure, but they are still relatively expensive. In the Philippines, veneers are up to 80% less expensive than you might find in Australia or New Zealand, meaning incredible savings particularly for patients seeking multiple veneers.

The dentists we work with in the Philippines have all been quality-checked by Dental Departures and provide superior quality services, from the treatment provided to the labs that deliver branded products available worldwide.

With the Dental Departures price guarantee you will obtain high-quality veneers at the very best price. Our patients give especially high marks to:

• Smile More Dental Clinic

How Long Do Dental Veneers Take in the Philippines?

Your dental veneers in the Philippines are usually completed in two appointments. Clinics outfitted with in-house labs and CAD/CAM ceramic studios (CEREC) can often create your veneers in a day. 

On your first visit, your dentist will examine your teeth and make impressions, which are then sent to the lab for custom-fitting. Your teeth are prepared to receive the veneers, with a very thin layer of enamel shaved from the front of your teeth so the veneer will sit comfortably on the tooth.

At your next appointment, the veneers will be bonded to the teeth with an adhesive and special bonding light. Your dentist will then clean your teeth and the procedure is complete. Voila! 

How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost in the Philippines Compared to Australia or New Zealand?

Depending on the material used the cost of dental veneers varies widely in Australia and New Zealand. The average cost is around AUD $1,200 per veneer, compared to around AUD $300 in the Philippines.
