Send Tinto a PM. He has lived in Medellin off and on and might be able to point you in the right direction. Be patient with his response at this time.

Anything dental is quite inexpensive in Colombia. I used one in Bogota a few years ago. Excellent work and about 20% or so the cost up here.

Colombia and Venezuela are world reknowned for their cosmetic work of all kinds.

Next week I'm getting a boob job.

Scott,

With an avatar like that you might be in more need of a good prosthetic surgeon to get fitted for those double amputations rather than getting your teeth whitened. Kidding aside, I’m sorry to report that I don’t have any dentist recommendations in Medellin. Dentists aren’t my favorite place to visit so only made a half-hearted attempt at locating a superior dentist while living in Medellin plus I’ve read some information lately that teeth whitening can actually be harmful. You might want to read the following links before deciding to get your teeth done.

Like Honk Tonk said though the procedure is inexpensive as compared to getting it done professionally stateside.
