Thinking of visiting the dentist in Merida Mexico?

Mexico is well-known for offering high-quality dental services without a hefty price tag. We last went to the dentist in Playa del Carmen and had a very good experience.

So while traveling as digital nomads in Merida, we decided to look for a dental clinic to get a checkup and cleaning.

In this blog, we’ll go through what you need to know before booking an appointment with a dentist in Merida Mexico.

Dental Tourism In Merida Mexico

Our primary concern with visiting the dentist in Merida was ensuring that we found a clinic that:

  • We could trust
  • Spoke English
  • Offered quality services

After all…

You don’t want a doctor digging around in your mouth when you don’t feel comfortable right?

Thankfully Merida is known to have good medical tourism at an affordable price. It’s also known to be an incredibly safe city – in fact, it’s one of the safest places to live in Mexico.

There are tons of dental clinics around and people regularly travel there to get dental work done.

Merida also has lots of expats. What does that mean?

Dental clinics are used to working with people from all over the world, providing trustworthy services for a very cost-effective price. This makes Merida the perfect dental tourism destination.

Just make sure that you know the best time to visit Merida. The weather changes from pleasant to very hot depending on when you go!

What’s it like to live in Merida? Check out our full review of living in Merida.

Dangers of Dental Tourism

The benefit of getting dental treatment overseas is that it costs a lot less.

But there are a couple of things to be aware of as well.

Dentists in foreign countries are not always subjected to the same laws and standards as your home country. So make sure that you always do your research and choose a dentist you can trust.

Our personal experience with dentists in Merida Mexico was good. But just make sure you do your research first and choose the right dentist for you!

Best Dentist In Merida Mexico

What’s the best dentist in Merida Mexico?

We contacted 4 different dentists in Merida before making our choice. The truth is they all seemed pretty good – but one stuck out to us most…

The best dentist in Merida, Mexico (and the dental click we chose) is Whiteline Dental Clinic.

Here’s why we decided to go with them.

Booking The Appointment

Booking the appointment with Whiteline Dental Clinic was very straightforward.

We simply messaged them on WhatsApp and they are immediately replied.

One thing that we always recommend before booking an appointment is getting a quote upfront. Most dentists in Mexico have set prices for a specific dental procedure, such as getting a filling or something more extensive like a tooth extraction.

Sometimes the prices will change once the dentist actually looks in your mouth to see what’s going on. That’s normal, but it’s smart to get an idea of the price before booking the appointment!

We were super impressed with Whiteline Dental Clinic when booking the appointment because they were flexible. We had left it a little late and Whiteline moved some appointments around to fit us in!

Already the level of service they offered made us feel comfortable.

Getting To The Dentist in Merida

After booking the appointment for a checkup and cleaning with Whiteline – they sent a confirmation and directions to get there.

When we arrived for our appointment, we walked into a clean and modern reception area.

It was exactly what you would expect to find in your home country (potentially even better). We were met by friendly staff who ushered us to sit in the comfortable little waiting area as the doctors prepared everything.

There was free fast wifi and good air conditioning so even on a hot day, we were super comfortable.

They asked us to fill out some forms to collect some general information.

Our Checkup And Dental Cleaning

After about 10 minutes, the 2 doctors came out and introduced themselves.

We were then ushered into the examination room. Whiteline had organized it so that Ashley and I could go at the same time, which was really good of them to do!

The examination room was very clean and modern.

They had everything that you would expect to see in a regular dentist and the dentist chairs were really comfortable.

We were impressed with the quality of care and precaution the doctors took!

They asked us lots of questions and explained everything in detail. Both doctors spoke excellent English, which made our lives much easier.

Transparency is not always a common practice in the dental industry, but Whiteline was extremely transparent with everything. They gave us recommendations, but we didn’t feel like we were pushed into any unnecessary treatments.

Ashley and I only wanted a checkup and deep cleaning – which we get once per year.

The dental cleaning took about 35 minutes and both dentists spent a good amount of time explaining what they had done. They also pointed out a couple of things to watch in the future!

Thankfully we didn’t need anything other than the dental cleaning. That’s always a relief!

All in all, it was an easy and fluid experience. I would say even better than many previous dental experiences I have had in Australia.

Cost Of Our Dentist In Merida Mexico

So the big question…

How much did it cost?

We paid:

  • 935 MXN ($45 USD) each for the cleaning (Total 1,850 MXN – $90 USD)
  • We also tipped 300 MXN (15 USD) for service.

So the total including the tip was 2,150 MXN or about $105 USD for 2 people. That’s pretty good!

After getting quotes from each dentist we contacted, this was a very reasonable price.

Although we didn’t get a filling done, Whiteline said it was also 935 MXN ($45 USD) per filling. This can change depending on the filling size required, but they will tell you before you start.

You can also pay with cash or a card which is great!

We were very impressed with the quality of service that Whiteline Dental Clinic offered and would absolutely recommend contacting them!

What Kind Of Dental Care Can You Get In Merida Mexico?

You can usually get any dental treatment that you need in Merida.

But it’s always best to contact the clinic to ensure they can offer what you need. Don’t forget to ask for a quote as well.

Some of the more common dental treatments you can get in Merida are:

  • Checkup & Cleaning
  • Standard Dental Fillings
  • Tooth Extraction (including wisdom teeth)
  • Root Canal
  • Dental Crowns
  • Dental Implants
  • Dental Bridges
  • Dental Whitening
  • Total Smile Makeover

As you can see, there is a wide range of dental procedures available in Merida. Pretty much anything you need will be available to you.

General Dental Costs In Merida Mexico

What can you expect to pay in Merida for dental care?

The dental cost varies depending on the clinic you choose and the procedure your need. So it’s essential to make sure you do your research first.

Remember, cheaper doesn’t always mean better.

We recommend that you go with a dental clinic that offers excellent service and value for money, as Whiteline Dental Clinic did!

General dental costs in Merida are:

  • Checkup & Cleaning: 950 to 1300 MXN ($45 – $65 USD)
  • Standard Fillings: 950 to 1,300 MXN ($45 – $65 USD)
  • Root Canal: 12.5k to 15.5k MXN ($615 to $760 USD)
  • Dental Crowning: 8.5k – 11k MXN ($420 – $540 USD)
  • Dental Implants: 36k – 43k MXN ($1,770 – $2,115 USD)

Remember, these prices are approximate estimates based on our experience. Prices can change over time.

We found that a dentist in Merida Mexico tends to be about 50% to 70% cheaper than back in the US or Australia.

Do Merida Dentists Speak English?

Short Answer – Yes.

Generally, dentists in Merida speak excellent English. Every dentist we contacted spoke English which was great.

It was also kind of funny because…

We would always send the first message in Spanish using Google translate. It seems that the dental assistants who replied knew we were using Google translate, so they responded back in English 😂

I guess that’s just another good sign of their service!

Wrapping It Up

So there you have it!

Our personal experience with visiting the dentist in Merida Mexico.

Overall – we could be happier with the process and experience. Dentists in Merida are experienced and offer great services. They are also used to working with foreigners and are flexible in their treatments.

We recommend you get in contact with Whiteline Dental Clinic. We couldn’t fault them for their service, price and transparency.

It doesn’t get much better than that!

The weather in Europe started to get colder in October and if you know us, you’ll know we chase the sunshine ☀️⁣
⁣
The best part is that we were joining a coliving space with some friends we made back in Zagreb! We spent an awesome month together - exploring the country, getting work done together and getting to know each other better!⁣
⁣
We love coliving because you get to have an instant community as soon as you land. A nomadic life gets lonely (yes, even as a couple) and coliving spaces usually create great communities with like-minded people!⁣
⁣
⁣
@tohani_coliving was especially great at creating events for everyone. During our first week, we had a community design meeting to discuss and plan the kind of things we wanted to do together. I'll share more about our experience on coliving soon ✌️⁣

Is Skopje, North Macedonia on your destination lis Is Skopje, North Macedonia on your destination list? 🇲🇰⁣
⁣
On our Europe tour, we decided to make Skopje home for a few weeks! One of the main reason is because I needed to renew my passport which is much faster outside the country.⁣
⁣
Other than that, we didn’t really know what to expect. There weren't many blogs or videos about being digital nomads here. We could only find 1 coworking space in the area but there were plenty of cafes to visit! There’s a huge cafe culture which is always nice.⁣
⁣
We had a really nice, modern, comfortable apartment in Skopje for $580 USD which was 5 minutes walking from the city center. The cost of living is pretty affordable and it’s very safe! ⁣
⁣
If you’re looking for a city to get some work done, explore the surrounding destinations and establish some routine or even simply go to the BEST gym I've ever been to (@fit_in_performance) - Skopje could be that place for you!⁣
⁣
Would you visit Skopje, North Macedonia as a digital nomad?⁣

Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destinat Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destination in Europe! 🇵🇹Why?⁣
⁣
One word: community!⁣
⁣
According to some digital nomad statistics, loneliness is the #1 reason people leave this lifestyle. When you’re traveling alone (or even as a couple), you easily feel all alone. Thankfully, the digital nomad community is very strong, open and welcoming!⁣
⁣
Lisbon is also a popular spot because of the fast wifi (we had speeds of 500+ Mbps), endless coworking options and a relatively affordable cost of living (except the rising rental prices, of course let's be real). ⁣
⁣
Our month in this wonderful city wasn’t long enough! It’s got all the simple things we love:⁣
 ☕ specialty coffee⁣
🍷 delicious food & wine⁣
🥑 bustling brunch scene and ⁣
👯 friendly people & community⁣
⁣
We can easily see why digital nomads keep coming back to this city and we hope we can explore more of Portugal (Porto, Algrave, etc).⁣
⁣
Have you been a digital nomad in Lisbon before? What were your thoughts?⁣

⁣
Zagreb, Croatia has been on our minds for a while. While most people think of Split or Dubrovnik, we wanted to visit the capital and see what it’s really like for digital nomads.⁣
⁣
These are some things that we think of before choosing a destination:⁣
- Is there an active digital nomad community?⁣
- What’s the wifi speeds like?⁣
- Are there good coworking spaces?⁣
- Is the cafe culture buzzing?⁣
⁣
And so much more! Our biggest concern was the community part. After traveling Serbia alone - we were starting to feel quite lonely! We joined an FB group and found someone had set up a weekly coworking day.⁣
⁣
It’s always nerve-wracking going to events where you don’t know anyone but as digital nomads, you get acquainted pretty quick! TLDR, we had a pretty close group of 8 working from cafes together, exploring Zagreb and getting to know each other.⁣
⁣
Zagreb is a great destination in Europe for a digital nomad wanting a more affordable cost of living while still exploring Croatia! 🇭🇷⁣

Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣ ⁣ Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣
⁣
…but we are SO glad we did!⁣
⁣
Serbia surprised us in so many ways, we honestly didn’t know what to expect! ⁣
⁣
That’s one of the ways we like to approach some of our travels - not judging the country by its cover. You can hear some positive (or negative) things about countries but you never truly know until you experience it for yourself. ⁣
⁣
We spent a month living in Belgrade, Serbia and it wasn’t long enough! With such limited time, as digital nomads you have to hit the ground running to get settled into your new home. We used our first 3 days to find (good) cafes to work from, sign up for a gym membership and plan our travel across Serbia.⁣
⁣
Here are some reasons we can recommend Belgrade to fellow digital nomads:⁣
- friendly, welcoming people⁣
- they have delicious food⁣
- high standard of living⁣
- relatively low cost of living⁣
- fast wifi with tons of cafes to work from ⁣
⁣
We ate countless bureks, drank copious amounts of coffee and worked from some of the coolest cafes. We can’t wait to get back to Belgrade!⁣
⁣
Serbia, you stole our hearts!⁣
