A titanium implant at Trio Dental Center in Tirana costs €350; with abutment and crown, the complete tooth from €520. A fixed full arch from €3,200, with your first flight refunded and five hotel nights included. That is 60–70% less than Italy or the UK, with Italian-made JD implants or Straumann, placed by Dr. Elian Dylgjeri — over 2,000 implants in 12 years of implant surgery — in a clinic with 3D CT planning and an in-house laboratory, a written 10-year implant warranty and an itemised invoice. Send your X-ray and you have a fixed-price plan within 24 hours.

Trio Dental Center prices, VAT included, crown included where stated. The comparison column shows indicative market ranges for the same treatment in Italy and the UK.
Read prices the right way. An "implant" is only the titanium screw (€350 here). A working tooth needs three parts: implant + abutment + crown — €520 to €600 here, all in. When you compare clinics, always ask whether the advertised price is the screw or the complete tooth: a "€300 implant" elsewhere often becomes €600–800 once the abutment and crown are added.

Prices per item. The final price depends on the number of implants, bone condition and crown material — you receive it in writing before you book.
No hidden costs. The quote you receive within 24 hours is the price you pay. If the in-clinic CT scan shows something your panoramic X-ray didn't, we tell you before we start — and you decide.
Dental expenses paid abroad qualify as medical expenses deductible at 19% on the Italian tax return (730 or Modello Redditi), exactly like expenses paid in Italy. You need an invoice in your name describing the treatment and a traceable payment — card or bank transfer. At the end of treatment we hand you both, plus a treatment summary in Italian for your dentist. Confirm your specific case with your accountant or CAF (official guidance: Agenzia delle Entrate — detrazione spese sanitarie). UK patients receive the same itemised invoice for insurance or records.
Dr. Dylgjeri focuses on full-arch rehabilitation (All-on-4, All-on-6, All-on-8), single and multiple implants, bone regeneration, sinus lift and immediate loading. He has particular experience with difficult cases: patients told elsewhere that their bone loss is too severe or surgery too risky. He plans every case on a 3D CT scan and performs the surgery personally.
Dr. Kokuja combines surgical and prosthetic expertise: he plans the implant position around the final tooth, not the other way round. He assesses bone, function and the type of final restoration before starting, and explains what to expect before, during and after.

As standard we place JD Implants titanium implants, made in Italy by JDentalCare: CE-marked, with published clinical documentation and components available from any Italian or European dentist, so anyone can service your implant in future. If you prefer Straumann, we place it at €1,500 including implant and monocone. Every patient leaves with the implant documentation: brand, size and lot.
It covers material defects and technical problems wherever you are — in the clinic in Tirana or with your dentist at home. You receive it in writing before leaving the clinic, together with the invoice. Conditions: proper oral hygiene and one check-up a year, in clinic or with your home dentist with a written report.

We recommend zirconia for anything visible when you smile; metal-ceramic remains a solid, economical choice for molars.
Bone shrinks after a tooth is lost, most of all in the first year and in the upper back jaw, under the sinus. The 3D CT scan taken in the clinic shows whether there is enough bone for the implant you need. If there is not, Dr. Dylgjeri or Dr. Kokuja rebuild it with a bone graft, or raise the floor of the sinus with a sinus lift.
A graft or a sinus lift is priced after the CT scan and written into your quote before you travel; it is not part of the €350 implant price. Sometimes it is done in the same session as the implant, sometimes it needs a few months of healing first. The CT scan decides, and your quote says which.
If a tooth has to come out, the implant can often go in the same day, as long as there is no infection and enough bone. For full arches, the tilted back implants of All-on-4 often avoid a graft. More on bone grafting and sinus lift and on immediate loading.
Send your panoramic X-ray or a photo of your teeth on WhatsApp. You receive a treatment plan, fixed price and proposed dates; a video call with Dr. Dylgjeri on request.
Airport transfer, Primo Hotel 4★, consultation, 3D CT scan, any extractions and implant placement under local anaesthesia (conscious sedation available). In suitable cases you leave with fixed temporary teeth within 24–72 hours.
The implants integrate with the bone. We check in with you by photo on WhatsApp; you can also see your home dentist and forward the report.
Digital impressions, aesthetic try-in, delivery of the final crowns made in our in-house laboratory, bite adjustment. You leave with your definitive teeth, invoice and written warranty.
Check-up in clinic or remotely. Warranty active. WhatsApp support for as long as you have the implants.
If you have lost all the teeth in an arch, or the ones left cannot be saved, a fixed arch on 4, 6 or 8 implants replaces dentures and bridges with a screw-retained bridge that does not move. We prefer 6 implants wherever the bone allows: every natural tooth has two or three roots, and more support points mean more stability over the years.
⚡ Immediate loading. In suitable cases you receive fixed temporary teeth within 24–72 hours of surgery and fly home smiling. How immediate loading works
Dental tourism works when you know in advance what can go wrong. These are the questions patients ask us most, with honest answers.
Honestly: for a single implant with no other work needed, travelling rarely pays — flights and days off can eat most of the €1,000–1,500 you'd save, and your local dentist can follow the healing in person. Travel makes sense from about three implants upward, and clearly so for full arches, where the saving runs into thousands. Complex medical cases (severe clotting disorders, conditions needing hospital backup) are also better evaluated at home first — we'll tell you at quote stage if we think you shouldn't come. Clinically reviewed by Dr. Elian Dylgjeri.
Yes: long-term studies put implant failure at roughly 2–5% (Howe et al., 2019 meta-analysis), almost always in the first months, because the bone does not integrate. The main risk factors are smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, untreated gum disease and insufficient bone. We reduce the risk with a mandatory 3D CT scan, guided surgery where needed and one rule: no implants over active infection. If an implant does not integrate, it falls under the written 10-year warranty: we remove it, let the bone heal and place it again.
Smokers above 10 cigarettes a day who will not reduce, uncontrolled diabetes, intravenous bisphosphonate therapy, recent radiotherapy to the head or neck, and anyone under 18. We tell you at quote stage, not after you have booked a flight.
You message us on WhatsApp with a photo and we reply the same day. For a minor issue — gum soreness, a loose screw — we tell you what to do or coordinate with your dentist using the implant documentation. For a warranty-covered issue you come back to the clinic: the warranty treatment costs you nothing, and we organise transfer and partner hotel. The warranty is international: it also applies if you choose to be followed by your dentist at home.
Ask for the surgeon's name and training, the exact implant brand (not "German implants"), the written warranty terms, a CT scan before surgery, a proper invoice, and reviews you can verify with a name. If a clinic will not answer one of these, choose another clinic — even if it isn't us.
No. Implants, crowns and equipment are the same brands you would get in Milan or London. What changes is labour cost, rent and taxation: the cost difference comes mainly from lower operating, staff and facility costs in Albania — not from lower-quality implant materials, which are the same CE-certified brands.
The idea of a whole week of dental treatment always terrified me, but this clinic turned it almost into a holiday. I barely felt the anaesthetic needle. Everyone speaks Italian well. The final work is perfect.
I'm Italian. They solved my situation, which was not simple, with great care. Prices far below Italian ones, with very high quality. I truly recommend this clinic.
Not all heroes wear capes, but Dr. Elian does. I had been without a front tooth for almost two years, unhappy with previous dentists: Dr. Elian gave me hope of getting my smile back.
Perfect organisation, you feel welcomed and cared for at every stage. Airport taxi and accommodation included, nothing to worry about. Heartfelt thanks to the whole team.

At Trio Dental Center a JD titanium implant costs €350; with abutment and crown the complete tooth costs from €520 (metal-ceramic) to €600 (zirconia). A Straumann implant with monocone costs €1,500. A fixed All-on-4 arch costs from €3,200, All-on-6 from €3,800, with the first flight refunded and 5 hotel nights included. The quote is free.
Yes, when the case is planned properly: the saving is 60–70% versus Italy or the UK on the same materials. It is less worthwhile for a single implant, because travel costs weigh in, and very worthwhile for multiple implants or full arches.
Yes, if the clinic uses CE-certified implants, takes a CT scan before surgery and gives you a written warranty and implant documentation. Always ask for the surgeon's name and the implant brand.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups an implant can last decades — often 20 years or more; a zirconia crown typically 10–15 years. Long-term clinical studies report 10-year implant survival above 95% (Howe et al., Journal of Dentistry, 2019; Buser et al., 10-year cohort, 2012).
Two: one to place the implants (3–5 days) and one after 3–6 months for the final crowns (4–6 days). With immediate loading you leave the first trip with fixed temporary teeth.
Yes, at 19% as medical expenses on the 730 tax return, with an invoice in their name and a traceable payment. We provide an Italian-language invoice.
During surgery, under local anaesthesia, patients normally feel pressure but no pain; conscious sedation is available on request. Afterwards, expect 2–4 days of swelling and discomfort manageable with ordinary painkillers.
It is removed, the bone heals for 2–3 months and a new one is placed. At Trio Dental Center the implant is covered by a written 10-year warranty, valid wherever you are.
Often yes — an immediate post-extraction implant — if there is no infection and enough bone. We decide on the CT scan.
Written international warranty: 10 years on implants, 5 years on crowns and bridges, 2 years on fillings. It covers material defects and technical problems wherever you are.
Send your panoramic X-ray or a photo of your teeth. Within 24 hours you receive a treatment plan, fixed price and available dates. No obligation.
