FAQs

Do you provide warranties or guarantees on treatments?

Yes. The clinic offers written coverage for lab-made restorations, such as crowns, veneers, bridges and dentures, and honors manufacturer terms for implant components when applicable. Your plan’s warranty period, maintenance requirements and any exclusions are reviewed in writing before treatment begins. Keeping up with aftercare and scheduled checkups helps maintain coverage.

Where exactly is the clinic and how do I get there?

Merida Smiles is located near the city center of Mérida, Yucatán. From MID Airport, plan roughly 25 minutes by Uber, Didi or taxi, depending on traffic. If you’re staying downtown, most rides take 10–20 minutes. Booking confirmation includes a GPS pin, nearby landmarks and the best curbside drop-off point.

What payment methods are accepted?

The clinic accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, cash, bank transfer and PayPal. For extensive lab or surgical work, the team can confirm deposits, processor fees and currency details so there are no surprises.

Which languages are spoken at the clinic?

Consultations and consent can be handled in English and Spanish, and team members are experienced with American Sign Language, also known as ASL, for accessible communication with Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients. If you need another language, mention it when booking so support can be arranged.

How long do All-on-4/All-on-6 or zygomatic implant cases take?

Surgical placement is usually organized over a short window, followed by healing before the final fixed bridge. Your itinerary outlines each step, including diagnostics, surgery, try-ins and delivery, so it fits your travel schedule. Zygomatic cases, used when upper jawbone is limited, follow similar planning but may involve additional imaging and consultation.

I only need crowns or veneers—how much time should I allow in Mérida?

Most porcelain or zirconia crowns and porcelain veneers are completed in 2–4 days here thanks to efficient lab coordination, with shade selection and try-ins scheduled to fine-tune the result. Complex smile makeovers may require additional time for mock-ups and adjustments.

What sedation or comfort options are available?

Sedation options are available for longer or anxiety-provoking procedures. Your dentist will discuss suitability, preparation, such as fasting, and post-visit instructions so you can plan transportation and recovery time.
