Guide for patients travelling from the United States
Dental tourism in Albania for US patients
Tirana connects to every major US gateway through one European hub, and our clinic is 25 minutes from the airport. This guide sets out how many trips each treatment needs, which materials we use, what the written warranty covers and who looks after you once you are back in the States.
How the trip works
1. Remote assessment
Send photos or a recent x-ray and receive a written plan with the number of visits and trips.
2. First trip
3D CBCT scan on site, the plan confirmed in person, then treatment over the following days.
3. Healing at home
For implants, three to six months in the US with remote reviews over WhatsApp.
4. Second trip and warranty
Final teeth fitted, material certificates issued and the written warranty handed over.

Frequently asked questions
Why do Americans travel to Albania for dental work?
Because treatment that is often paid out of pocket in the United States is planned and completed in Europe at a fraction of the total outlay, including flights and hotel. Tirana has direct and one-stop connections through most major European hubs, the clinic uses the same implant systems and ceramics found in US practices, and treatment starts within days rather than months.
How long do I need to stay in Tirana?
Veneers, crowns and hygiene are completed in a single trip of five to seven days. Implants take two trips: three to five days for placement, then a second visit after three to six months of healing for the final teeth. All-on-4 and All-on-6 patients leave the first trip with a fixed temporary bridge.
Are the materials the same as in the United States?
Yes. We name every implant system, abutment and ceramic in the written plan before you travel, and you leave with the material certificates so any dentist in the US can identify exactly what is in your mouth.
What happens if something needs attention when I am back home?
You get written aftercare, the material certificates and a direct WhatsApp line to the clinic. Reviews are done remotely with photos, and anything covered by the written warranty is handled by us when you next travel.
Why are no prices shown on the website?
Albanian healthcare advertising guidelines do not allow published treatment prices. After we see photos or an x-ray we send a detailed written estimate privately by email or WhatsApp, which is the only way to give a realistic figure for your case.
