More patients than ever are choosing to get dental veneers in India, through The Medical Travel Company (TMTC), combining their holiday with world-class cosmetic dentistry at a fraction of UK prices. With advanced dental technology, internationally trained dentists and savings of up to 70% compared to the UK, India has become a go-to destination for high-quality veneers, without compromising on safety or results.
"Our patients receive a truly global standard of care," assures Dr Gunaseelan Rajan, Medical Director at Rajan Dental Hospital, a TMTC partner clinic in India. "From the expertise of our clinicians, to the technology and materials used for all our procedures, we match the highest standards of dentistry worldwide."
For travellers, veneers aren't just a cosmetic procedure; they're a practical travel decision. Treatment can often be completed in a single visit or over a few days, leaving plenty of time to relax, sightsee or spend time with loved ones and return home with a brighter, more confident smile.
It's no coincidence that India is now recognised as a global hub for medical and dental tourism. As reported by the BBC, India is rapidly becoming a global hub for medical tourism, attracting thousands of international travellers each year for medical treatments. Recent data from India's Ministry of Tourism reinforces this trend: between January and April 2025, 131,856 foreign tourists visited India specifically for medical purposes, accounting for approximately 4.1% of all Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) during this period.
Turn Your Trip Into a Dental Holiday With Veneers
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth and improve their shape, colour, and appearance. They're one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments in India, because they give your teeth a natural and more appealing appearance.
Why Veneers Are So Popular Among UK Patients
- Smile Makeover: Veneers offer fast, visible results, giving you a brighter, more symmetrical smile in just a few days, especially when treated by our specialists.
- Natural, Long-Lasting Results: High-quality porcelain veneers look like real teeth and can last 10-15 years, making them a durable yet affordable option.
- Fixes Multiple Smile Concerns: Ideal for fixing discolouration, small gaps, chips, uneven edges, and worn enamel.
- Minimal Wait time: Veneers require little to no recovery time, allowing you to enjoy your holiday while completing your smile makeover.
