What it is
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or ceramic bonded to the front surface of teeth to change their color, shape or alignment. They usually require removing a small amount of enamel, and the process is hard to reverse.
Trips needed
Typically 2 visits: one for preparation and impressions, and one for bonding. Some clinics need a third visit for adjustments.
Questions to ask any clinic
- Is the price per tooth or per package, and does it include the lab, temporary veneers and consultation?
- What material is used (for example, Emax or another ceramic), and who makes it?
- How much enamel will be removed, and is that reversible in my case?
- What is the written warranty on the veneers, and what happens if one chips or debonds?
- What is the license number (cédula profesional) of the dentist who will place them?
Getting to Tijuana
From San Diego, the pedestrian crossing at San Ysidro (CBP port 250401) is the most common route to the clinic areas. Parking is on the US side; check current rules and fees before you go. Walking or using a rideshare/taxi on the Mexican side are common options. Alternatively, the Otay Mesa passenger crossing (250601) serves other parts of the city. To return to the US you must show a valid passport book, a passport card (land crossings only), or a SENTRI/NEXUS card. Pedestrian waits at San Ysidro can be long at peak hours; check the live times at bwt.cbp.gov before you cross.
