Costs and payment
How estimates work, how to pay and why treatment in Albania costs less.
Getting your estimate
How we prepare a costed plan and share it with you privately.
- Why are prices not shown on the website?
Albanian dental guidelines do not allow clinics to advertise treatment prices publicly. We therefore share costs privately instead: complete the estimate form or message us on WhatsApp and you receive a written, itemised plan by email, normally within 24 hours.
- How do I get a quote before travelling?
Send recent photos of your smile and, if you have one, a panoramic X-ray. Our clinical team reviews them and emails an indicative costed plan with the number of visits needed. The plan is confirmed at your in-clinic examination and CBCT scan before treatment starts.
- Why is dental treatment cheaper in Albania than in the UK?
Because running costs are lower, not because materials or standards are. Rent, salaries and laboratory work cost a fraction of UK equivalents, while the implant systems, ceramics and scanners are the same international brands used in London practices.
Paying for treatment
Cards, bank transfer, deposits and staged payments.
- Can I pay with a card?
Yes. We accept major debit and credit cards at the clinic, as well as cash in euros and bank transfer. Card payments in Albania are processed in lek at your bank's exchange rate, so check whether your bank adds a foreign transaction fee.
- Do I need to pay a deposit?
For treatment that needs laboratory work or implant components ordered in advance, we ask for a modest deposit to reserve your dates and materials. It is deducted from the final invoice. Consultations and examinations do not require a deposit.
- Can I pay in stages across my trips?
Yes. Implant treatment is naturally split between the surgical visit and the visit for the final crowns, and payment follows the same stages. You settle each phase as it is completed, so nothing is paid far in advance of the work.
