FAQs

Do you offer warranties or guarantees on implants and prosthetics?

Yes. Written coverage applies to lab-made restorations, including fixed bridges and crowns, and the clinic honors manufacturer warranties on implant components where applicable. Your plan’s terms, including coverage period, maintenance schedule and exclusions, are reviewed in writing before treatment. Following aftercare, hygiene visits and any recommended night-guard use helps keep coverage valid.

Where exactly are you located, and what’s the simplest way to get there?

The clinic sits downtown in Mérida’s hotel zone, close to major hotels and dining. From Mérida International Airport, plan 20–30 minutes by Uber, Didi or taxi, depending on traffic. If you’re staying in Centro Histórico, most rides are 5–15 minutes. Your confirmation includes a GPS pin, landmarks and the best curbside drop-off.

What payment methods are accepted?

Visa, Mastercard, cash and bank transfers are accepted. For larger surgical plans or multi-arch reconstructions, your advisor can confirm deposits, card-processor fees and currency handling in advance.

Which languages are spoken at the clinic?

Consultations and consent can be handled in English and Spanish. If you need additional language support, tell your Dental Departures advisor when booking.

How long do All-on-4® or All-on-6 treatments take?

Surgery and immediate provisionalization, meaning fixed temporary teeth, can often be completed in a single visit for suitable candidates. After a healing period, also called osseointegration, the team fabricates and installs your final fixed bridge in acrylic or porcelain. Your itinerary sequences consultations, imaging, surgery, try-ins and delivery to fit your travel.

What if I need bone grafting or a sinus lift first—does that extend my stay?

Minor grafts or sinus lifts are typically planned within the same surgical window. Your clinician will explain when immediate loading is possible and when staged treatment is safer. The onsite CT scan and lab testing help shorten planning and reduce additional visits.

Do you provide removable options like overdentures?

Yes. The clinic offers overdentures supported by two, four or more implants. These can improve stability compared with traditional dentures while keeping maintenance straightforward and costs lower than full-arch fixed bridges.
