The ultimate guide to Veneers in Madrid

Last fact-checked: 13 July 2021 

Offering internationally recognised brands and high-quality treatment, dentists in Madrid can make and fit veneers for approximately one-third of the price you would normally pay back home.

That can add up to several hundred in savings just for one veneer—whereas patients seeking a full or partial smile makeover can easily save several thousand simply by flying to Spain (even when taking holiday expenses into consideration).

About Dental Veneers in Madrid

Made from porcelain, ceramic or zirconia, dental veneers are used to cover individual or multiple teeth that are discoloured, uneven, chipped, cracked or broken.

The thin sliver of material is colour-matched to the rest of your teeth, creating a natural-looking solution that—unlike an implant with a crown—does not require invasive surgery.

Reputable veneer brands and materials used by our partner dentists in Madrid include:

• Empress® (pressed ceramic)

• Emax® (pressed ceramic)

• daVinci™ (porcelain)

• LUMINEERS® (porcelain) 

The treatment process may differ slightly, depending on which brand is used. Learn more about what the procedure for veneers entails here.

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Madrid for Dental Veneers?

If your chosen clinic has CAD/CAM or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) equipment , then a veneer or two can often be made and fitted on the same day as your original appointment.

However, for those seeking a full or partial smile makeover where 10-15 veneers are created, you may need to stay an extra day or two in Madrid: the process of fitting the veneers and making sure they are flush with the rest of the teeth can be time-consuming, even if the clinic operates its own onsite dental laboratory. 

Find out how to properly care for your new veneers here.

Note: Patients seeking a smile makeover (or “smile design”) with veneers usually have all the teeth visible when they smile covered with a veneer; your molars and premolars rarely require veneers. 

How Much Do Veneers Cost in Madrid?

• A directly boned composite veneer in Madrid costs EUR €200 (GBP £170).

• Full porcelain veneers cost approximately EUR €450 (GBP £380) in Madrid.

• Zirconia veneers at our Madrid dentists cost in the region of EUR €400-500 (GBP £340 430).

In comparison, composite veneers in the UK cost approximately GBP £400; porcelain veneers can run as high as £1,000 per tooth in London or Manchester. 

As you can see, for a full smile makeover using between 8 and 15 veneers, savings of several thousand euros/pounds are possible when compared to prices back home.

Madrid Travel Information

Madrid is the culture-packed capital of Spain, and proves hugely popular with international visitors, with around 10 million arrivals per year. 

Aside from the must-see parks, museums, palaces and Plaza Mayor (the city’s main central square), visitors are spoilt for choice in terms of restaurants, nightlife and shopping—although we would advise dental tourists to get most of their eating and drinking out of the way before their new veneers are fitted.

Talking about food, here are some of the must-try dishes around Madrid, including their famous fried squid sandwich!

How Do I Get to Madrid?

Most international visitors arrive via air at Madrid’s international airport, which is located approximately 15 kilometers from the city center.

Most major airports around the world have direct flights to the Spanish capital, including London, Berlin, Paris and New York. The flight time from London is around 2.5 hours. 

From the airport, buses, taxis, trains or the metro, can be used to quickly and cheaply reach the city center. Do also note that some of our partner clinics may offer free airport shuttle services when purchasing treatment packages over a certain price point.

How Much Do Flights to Madrid Cost?

When searching Skyscanner, it’s possible to find return flights from London to Madrid for EUR 50 (GBP 45) with certain budget carriers. Tickets from other European cities may be slightly more, depending on the time of year. (Please note that prices vary according to seasons and other factors).

Where to Stay in Madrid? 

Madrid has a huge choice of budget and affordable boutique hotel rooms across the city, with most prices on Booking.com falling into the EUR 50–100 range. 

Of course, significantly cheaper options are available, especially if you don’t mind a single room, whereas prices can go in the opposite direction, too, with the city’s top luxury hotels costing anywhere between EUR 400–800+ per night.

Feel free to ask our Customer Care Team if you need help with booking a hotel near your chosen clinic for veneers in Madrid.
