How to Plan Your First Dental Trip to Albania from the UK (Step by Step)

Your First Dental Trip: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

The idea of flying abroad for dental work can feel overwhelming, especially the first time. This guide walks you through every step from initial enquiry to arriving home with your new smile.

Step 1: Online Consultation (Week 1)

Send us your panoramic X-ray and photos of your teeth via our contact form or WhatsApp. If you do not have a recent X-ray, your UK dentist can provide one (or we will take one on arrival in Tirana). Within 24–48 hours, you receive a personalised treatment plan with itemised costs.

Step 2: Ask Your Questions (Week 1–2)

This is when you decide. Ask us anything: treatment options, materials, timeline, what-ifs. We are available on WhatsApp, email and video call. There is no pressure. Take your time.

Step 3: Book Your Trip (2–4 Weeks Before)

• Flights: Wizz Air flies direct to Tirana from London Luton, and Ryanair from London Stansted. Manchester, Birmingham and other cities also have direct routes. Book 4–6 weeks ahead for the best prices.
• Accommodation: We provide hotel recommendations near the clinic. Central Tirana hotels range from £30–100/night. Airbnb is also excellent value.
• Transfer: Empire Dental provides free airport pickup and drop-off for all international patients.

Step 4: What to Bring

• Passport (or valid national ID if EU citizen)
• Your dental X-ray (digital or printed)
• List of any medications you take
• Details of any allergies
• Comfortable clothing (Tirana is casual)
• A companion if you wish (many patients bring a partner or friend)

Step 5: Treatment Week

Day 1: Welcome, full examination, CBCT 3D scan, final treatment plan confirmation. Days 2–6: Treatment. Final day: Check-up, aftercare instructions, guarantee documentation. Between appointments: explore Tirana.

Step 6: After You Return

• Follow aftercare instructions provided
• Contact us via WhatsApp with any concerns (we respond within hours)
• If you need a return visit (for implant crowns), book it 3–6 months ahead for the best flight prices
• Register with a UK dentist for routine check-ups between visits
