How much do veneers cost in India compared to the US or UK?
Premium e-max/porcelain veneers run roughly $180–$350 per tooth with our partner clinic in New Delhi, versus $1,000–$2,500 per tooth in the US and £400–£1,000 in the UK. A typical 8-veneer smile costs $1,500–$2,800 in India against $8,000–$20,000 at home.
How many trips to India do veneers need?
One trip of 5–8 days covers most cases: consultation, smile planning and tooth preparation early in the trip, then final bonding of the lab-made veneers a few days later, with a fit review before you fly. There is no long remote phase — you go home finished.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Conventional veneers require removing 0.3–0.7mm of enamel, which is permanent — a veneered tooth needs a veneer for life (replacements every 10–15 years). Minimal-prep and no-prep options exist for suitable cases. If alignment or whitening can achieve your goal, veneers are the wrong tool and we'll say so.
How long do veneers last?
Quality e-max porcelain bonded correctly lasts 10–15+ years with normal care. Avoid using teeth as tools, wear a night guard if you grind, and maintain normal hygiene.
Will they look fake?
Not if designed properly. Shape, translucency and shade are planned digitally against your face and approved by you via a trial smile mock-up before any permanent work. "Piano key" veneers come from bad planning, not from the material.
What's included in the quote — and what isn't?
Included: consultation, digital smile design, trial mock-up, lab-made e-max veneers, bonding, bite check and a night guard where needed — itemised. Not included: flights, hotel and food, which you book and pay yourself. No packages, no markups — you pay the clinic directly, with a deposit and the balance across your visit milestones.
