Porcelain Veneers Abroad in Spain
Porcelain veneers abroad at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia cost £414 per tooth — compared to £800–£1,200 at UK private clinics — with natural-looking results that last up to 15 years. Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero, specialist in cosmetic dentistry and smile design, places ceramic veneers using a digital smile design process to ensure the shape, colour and proportion of each veneer is matched precisely to the patient’s face and existing teeth.
Porcelain veneers are a thin ceramic shell — approximately 0.5mm — bonded to the front surface of the tooth using resin cement. A small amount of enamel is removed before placement, making the treatment permanent. For patients who prefer a reversible option with no enamel removal, Lumineers are available from £520 per tooth.
The first consultation is completely free and includes a personalised smile design assessment and written treatment plan. Call us on 0800 048 8058 or email office@dentalasensio.co.uk to book.

How many trips do porcelain veneers require?
Porcelain veneers at Asensio require two visits to Valencia. At the first visit, teeth are prepared, digital impressions taken using our 3M True Definition intraoral scanner and temporary veneers placed. The final ceramic veneers are fabricated in our laboratory and fitted at the second visit, approximately two weeks later. Both appointments can be planned around direct flights from UK airports to Valencia.

Frequently asked questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years with proper care. At Asensio they carry a 3-year guarantee covering material defects and manufacturing failures. See our dental guarantee for full terms.
Do porcelain veneers hurt?
The preparation appointment involves a small amount of enamel removal, carried out under local anaesthetic. There is typically some mild sensitivity in the days following preparation, which resolves once the final veneers are fitted.
Can I get porcelain veneers if I have existing fillings?
Yes in most cases. Veneers can be placed over teeth with existing restorations provided the underlying tooth structure is sound. This will be assessed at the free consultation.
Is whitening better than veneers?
Teeth whitening is suitable for intrinsic staining on otherwise healthy, well-shaped teeth. Veneers are the better option when staining is severe, when teeth are chipped or uneven, or when the patient wants to change the shape as well as the colour. Both treatments are available at Asensio — see our price list.
