If you are thinking about flying to Colombia for dental work, stop overthinking and just book with Dra. Yined López Montes. I recently flew in from the USA for a full set of veneers, and the experience was honestly 10/10 from start to finish. The 5-Day Process The whole trip was organized into a tight, efficient five-day window that didn’t feel rushed but definitely respected the patient’s time: Day 1: The Consultation & Prep. They spent a lot of time talking about goals. Dra. Yined is a perfectionist. She took impressions and prepared the teeth, ensuring everything was set for a perfect fit. Day 2-3: The Lab Phase. While the custom veneers were being crafted, the patient had temporaries. This is a great time to explore the city a bit! Day 4: The Trial & Fitting. This was the most important day. They did a “try-in” to make sure the shape and bite were perfect before final bonding. Day 5: Final Adjustments & Reveal. A quick final check-up to make sure the gums were happy and the smile was flawless before the flight back to the States. Picking the Perfect Shade The biggest worry for most international patients is ending up with teeth that look “too fake” or neon white. Dra. Yined was amazing at navigating the shade selection. She didn’t just hand over a color palette; she looked at the patient’s skin tone, eye color, and facial structure. She helped steer them toward a shade that looks bright and “Hollywood” but still has that natural translucency that real teeth have.
