Preparing for your visit to the dentist in Mérida
By: Dr. Guillermo Trujillo
If you already have your dates set to come see us, I want to share a couple of practical tips to make your arrival as smooth as possible. The Whiteline Crew and I are used to receiving patients from out of town, and the truth is that the process is quite simple if you know the basics.
To enter Mexico, you only need your valid passport. Upon arrival at Mérida airport, the immigration process is digital and quick; the agent will scan your passport and authorize your stay.
If you are asked about the reason for your trip, you can confidently say that you are coming to see your dentist in Mérida and to visit the city. It is important that you keep any receipts or stamps you are given, as you will be asked for them when you return home.
In terms of logistics, Mérida is very easy to navigate. To get from the airport to your accommodation or to the clinic, the most practical option is to use Uber or authorized airport taxis. We do not arrange transportation or accommodation, but the city has many high-quality options.
If you want some ideas on what to do in your free time or which areas to visit depending on how long you're staying, you can take a look at our guides "The Dental Express" for exploratory trips or "The Dental Vacation" for longer trips for treatment. There we have listed several of our favorite spots in the region for those looking for dentists in Yucatán and want to take advantage of the trip to explore.
Regarding payments here at the clinic, you can use your international credit or debit card without worrying about extra charges on our part. For your personal expenses, I recommend withdrawing some pesos from a local ATM so you can move around more freely in small shops or markets, where cash is still the most common form of payment.
Mérida is a warm city in every sense of the word, so bring comfortable, light clothing. We will send you a confirmation letter for your appointment by email; keep it handy on your cell phone in case you need to show it at any point during your trip.
“Great experience and I plan to come back. I live in the States and come to Merida often. After reaching out to the clinic, they quickly set up a video call for me to speak to the dentist about all my needs. Not only was the price much better than back home, but also the customer service was better. Apparently most of their clients are English speakers and I felt very comfortable talking with each person who helped me.”
