One of the most common questions we get is simply: how long is this all going to take? The honest answer depends on the treatment, but most journeys follow the same basic shape. Here is what that shape usually looks like.
Before You Travel: The Virtual Consultation
This part happens entirely from home. You send us photos, and if you have them, X-rays or a description of what you would like to change. Within a day or two, our clinical team reviews everything and gets back to you with an initial treatment plan and an all-inclusive quote. There is no obligation at this stage – it simply gives you a clear picture before you decide anything.
Day One in Tirana: The In-Person Examination
Once you arrive, your first appointment is a full clinical examination, including any 3D scans or X-rays needed to finalise your plan. This is where the virtual plan gets confirmed or adjusted based on what our dentists see in person.
The Treatment Days
This is the part that varies the most. A whitening session might be finished the same afternoon. Veneers or crowns typically involve a preparation appointment, a wait of one to a few days while your custom pieces are made, and a fitting appointment. Implant cases often need a longer stay, or a first trip for the implant placement and a second trip months later for the final crown, once healing is complete.
Before You Fly Home
Before you leave, we walk you through aftercare instructions specific to your treatment, and make sure you know exactly what to expect over the following days and weeks.
The Follow-Up
Recovery does not end when your flight takes off. We stay reachable for questions after you are home, and for treatments that need a second visit, we help you plan the timing well in advance.
Every case is different, which is why the free virtual consultation exists – it is the fastest way to get a timeline that actually applies to you, not just a general estimate.
