How I Saved $7,000 by Getting Veneers in Colombia

I’ll be honest: I never thought I’d get on a plane to fix my smile. But after months of researching cosmetic dentists in the U.S., I realized two things: 1) veneers are outrageously expensive, and 2) I didn’t need to bankrupt myself to get the smile I wanted.

The U.S. Quotation That Made Me Choke on My Coffee

I’d visited three clinics in my city. The lowest quote I got for 20 resin veneers was $9,000 USD - $10,000. Not including whitening, cleaning, or consultations. Some even wanted to upsell me into “packages” that cost more than my car. I don’t have a trust fund. I just wanted teeth I could smile with.

How I Found Out About Colombia

A friend of mine — let’s call her Sarah, because that’s her name — had visited Cali, Colombia, for her own smile design. Her results were flawless. She paid a fraction of what I was quoted and even got airport pickup and hotel nights included.

That led me to Clínica Matizz, a clinic that specializes in cosmetic dentistry for international and local patients. The reviews were solid, the team was responsive, and yes: the prices were real.

Their Instagram was full of before-and-afters, and their staff responded to every question I had within hours.

They offered:

• 20 resin veneers

• In just 8 hours

• For $1,800 USD total

• With a free cleaning

• And no sales pressure

• Consultation included

• No call centers. No “surprise” charges.

• And yes, I stayed at a beautiful hotel next to the clinic.

I booked the flight. Honestly, the dental quote was cheaper than my phone.

What the Experience Was Like

The clinic felt modern, clean, and calm. The team was warm and professional — no call centers, no confusing paperwork. Just real people who knew exactly what they were doing. They walked me through the design process, and a few hours later, my new smile was in place. Same day.

Was It Worth It?

I came back with a brighter, straighter smile. The dentists at Clínica Matizz were professional, kind, and (thankfully) didn’t try to upsell me on anything. They just listened, explained, and got to work.

If you’ve been on the fence about veneers or smile design, this is your sign. Book a consultation and ask questions. You might just find that your perfect smile is waiting for you in Colombia.
