How do you say "dental veneer" (a porcelain face on a front tooth) in Spanish

Question

I want to phone a dentist in spain and ask how much a dental veneer is going to cost. All I need is the correct word for a dental veneer. Thanks, Chris.

Bit late reply, but a carilla cost me 74€ today in Castilla la Mancha! - GerryLawson, May 13, 2016

Answer 1

The dictionary here at the site gives several words for "veneer": laminado (m) chapa (f) ; fachada

One of the entries for veneer in Gran Diccionario Oxford is: "capa" or "barniz" de algo

(...the "algo" would be a tooth) "Barniz" more likely refers to "varnish" or "nail polish" though...not the right kind of "veneer" in the context.

You're right and this case, you could say to the dentist, "capa de porcelana." - 005faa61, Jan 17, 2010

Answer 2

I found "carillas dentales".

"Carilla" is 100% correct (just had one today). Note the difference to "funda" since this is just one side (coming from "cara") - GerryLawson, May 13, 2016
