General Dentistry in Tirana for
Local and International Patients.
General dentistry at Andent Clinic in Tirana covers dental check-ups, professional hygiene care, composite fillings, root canal treatment, extractions, periodontal therapy, tooth restorations, and comprehensive treatment planning for local and international patients. Many European patients combine several treatments into a single visit, completing multiple necessary dental procedures in one coordinated trip.
Complete dental care in Tirana:
what it covers and who it is for
The decision to seek general dental care in Albania is often triggered by a treatment plan involving several dental procedures. When multiple treatments are required, patients may compare the overall cost of private dental care in their home country with the cost of completing the recommended treatment in Tirana.
Treatment costs can vary considerably between countries because of differences in operating costs, clinical labour, laboratory expenses, and other practice overheads. The final price at Andent Clinic depends on the procedures required, the materials selected, and the patient’s individual clinical condition.
Why patients combine multiple treatments in one visit
Travel and accommodation represent an additional cost for international patients, regardless of whether one procedure or several treatments are completed during the visit. For this reason, patients who require several procedures may choose to combine treatments such as root canal therapy, fillings, professional hygiene, and dental crowns within a coordinated treatment plan when clinically appropriate.
Root canal treatment alone is priced at €150–€250, while root canal treatment combined with a crown is approximately €490. The exact combination, treatment sequence, and total cost are confirmed after clinical assessment.
Patients who need more advanced work can also combine general dentistry with dental implants , dental bridges , or a complete smile improvement plan. To check what may be completed during one visit, send your X-rays, photos, or existing treatment plan through the free consultation form .
Every general dentistry service
at Andent Clinic
General dentistry at Andent Clinic covers the complete range of non-surgical dental care. These are the treatments that form the foundation of good oral health: check-ups, hygiene, fillings, root canals, extractions, periodontal care, and preventive treatments that stop small problems from becoming expensive ones. For international patients, these services can be combined with a planned dental tourism in Albania visit, or coordinated with advanced treatments such as dental crowns , dental bridges , and dental implants .
Comprehensive dental check-up
A full mouth examination with digital periapical X-rays and panoramic X-ray where clinically indicated. Caries assessment, periodontal charting, soft tissue check, occlusal review, and a written clinical report in your language. This is the starting point for every new patient visit and the first step before planning crowns, bridges, implants, or a full treatment plan in Tirana.
Professional cleaning and scaling
Ultrasonic and hand scaling to remove calculus deposits above and below the gum line. Air polishing for surface stain removal, gingival charting, and personalised home care instruction. This is often the most visible first improvement and is frequently combined with fillings or a broader dental care trip to Albania .
Composite fillings
Tooth-coloured composite resin restorations matched precisely to the natural shade of the tooth. Used to treat decay, replace failing amalgam fillings, and repair chips. Multiple fillings can be placed in a single appointment. Modern composite bonding provides strength and aesthetics that amalgam cannot match, and may be combined with zirconia crowns when a tooth needs stronger protection.
Root canal treatment
Single and multi-canal endodontic treatment using rotary instruments and electronic apex locators. Canal cleaning, shaping, and obturation with gutta-percha and root canal sealer. The treated tooth is subsequently restored with a post and core if needed, and usually protected with a dental crown . Most cases can be completed during one planned visit to Tirana.
Periodontal treatment
Assessment, scaling, and root planing for gum disease at all stages. Deep cleaning under local anaesthesia for patients with pocket depths above 4mm. Active gum disease is always treated before restorative, cosmetic, or implant work, because healthy gums are essential before placing crowns, bridges, or dental implants .
Tooth extractions
Simple and complex extractions including surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth. All extractions are performed under local anaesthesia. For patients where extraction precedes future implant placement , the socket is managed carefully to help preserve bone volume and support predictable restorative planning.
Mouthguards and nightguards
Custom-fabricated occlusal guards for bruxism and sports mouthguards, made from digital or physical impressions in the in-house laboratory. A properly fitted nightguard is important long-term protection for patients who grind their teeth, especially after ceramic restorations such as dental crowns , bridges , or veneers.
Children’s dental care
General dental examinations and preventive care for children accompanying visiting parents. Fissure sealants for permanent molars, fluoride treatment, and oral hygiene instruction for children and parents. Many families use their dental tourism visit to combine the parents’ treatment with a dental check-up and preventive care for their children.

The Andent team will review your case and explain whether your treatment is best handled as general dentistry, crowns, bridges, implants, or a complete treatment plan in Tirana.
The treatments patients ask
most questions about
Root canal treatment, amalgam replacement, periodontal care, and wisdom tooth extraction are the general dentistry procedures that generate the most questions from international patients before they travel. These treatments are often combined within a planned dental tourism in Albania visit, especially when patients also need dental crowns , bridges , or future dental implants .
Root canal treatment:
what actually happens
Root canal treatment, also called endodontic treatment, removes infected or irreversibly inflamed pulp tissue from the root canals of a tooth, cleans and shapes the canals using rotary nickel-titanium instruments, and fills them with a biocompatible material. The result is a tooth that has no living pulp but retains its structure and can continue to function normally when properly restored with a dental crown .
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Patients who are apprehensive are often surprised to find that the anaesthesia makes the procedure significantly more comfortable than they expected. The discomfort most people associate with root canals comes from the infected pulp before treatment, not from the treatment itself.
At Andent Clinic, root canal treatment is completed in one or two appointments within a single visit. The treated tooth is usually ready for crown preparation within the same visit, and the zirconia crown is fabricated in the in-house laboratory and cemented before the patient returns home. The complete root canal plus crown treatment is typically completed within a 5 to 6 day dental trip to Tirana .
When a root canal is needed
- Irreversible pulpitis: severe toothache that does not resolve, indicating that the pulp is inflamed beyond recovery
- Pulp necrosis: the pulp has died, often following decay reaching the pulp or from past trauma, and may be causing abscess formation
- Symptomatic apical periodontitis: infection at the root tip causing pain on biting or spontaneous throbbing
- Tooth preparation for post-core crown on a heavily broken down tooth where the remaining structure requires a root-supported restoration
If your dentist has recommended a root canal, you can send your X-ray or treatment plan through the free consultation form and the Andent team will estimate the cost of the root canal, crown, and any related treatment in Tirana.
Replacing amalgam fillings
with composite
Amalgam, or silver-grey metal fillings, were the standard restorative material for decades. Millions of adults across Europe have old amalgam fillings that are now either failing, cracked, stained, leaking at the margins, or that patients want replaced for aesthetic or health-related reasons. The composite alternatives available today are both aesthetically superior and clinically competitive in terms of durability.
The EU issued a regulation phasing out dental amalgam by the end of 2025 for most categories of patients, and many European dentists have already moved to composite-only practices. At Andent Clinic, composite fillings have been the primary restorative material for many years. The composites used are from Dentsply Sirona, 3M, and Ivoclar Vivadent product ranges.
For international patients, amalgam replacement is one of the most practical treatments to combine with a Tirana visit because multiple fillings can be replaced across several sessions within the same stay. A patient with 8 old amalgam fillings can have them replaced within 3 to 4 days when appointments are scheduled efficiently. If a tooth is too damaged for a filling alone, the plan may include a zirconia crown or, in the case of a missing tooth, a dental bridge .
What happens during composite replacement
- Local anaesthesia for each tooth being treated
- Removal of the old amalgam and any recurrent decay
- Acid etching and bonding agent application to the clean cavity
- Incremental composite placement in thin layers, each cured under UV light
- Occlusal bite adjustment and final polish
- Multiple teeth on the same side of the mouth are done in the same appointment to minimise anaesthesia events
Patients who want to improve the appearance of their front teeth may combine composite replacement with dental veneers or a full smile design consultation.
Gum disease treatment:
what it involves and why it matters
Periodontal disease is one of the most common reasons patients seek dental care after years of avoidance. It is also one of the most underestimated: because gum disease progresses slowly and painlessly in its early stages, many patients are unaware of how advanced their condition is until a clinical assessment reveals significant bone loss. The good news is that even advanced periodontitis can be arrested with proper treatment.
At Andent Clinic, periodontal treatment always begins with a full assessment including periodontal charting, radiographic bone level assessment, and identification of local factors contributing to the disease. This assessment informs the treatment sequence and the recall interval recommendation.
Active gum disease is always treated before any restorative or cosmetic work is started. A crown placed on a tooth with active periodontal disease is placed on an unstable foundation. This is especially important before dental implants , crowns , bridges , or veneer treatment.
Stages of periodontal treatment at Andent
- Full mouth assessment: charting, X-rays, risk factor discussion including smoking, diabetes, and medications
- Supragingival scaling: removal of calculus and stain above the gum line, usually without anaesthesia
- Subgingival debridement: deep scaling under local anaesthesia for pockets above 4mm depth
- Re-evaluation at 6 to 8 weeks: charting repeated to assess response and identify any sites needing further attention
- Maintenance protocol: recommended cleaning interval, typically 3 to 4 months for active periodontitis or 6 months for gingivitis
Wisdom tooth extraction:
simple and surgical removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the most frequently extracted teeth in dentistry. When they erupt fully into the correct position and can be cleaned effectively, extraction is not necessary. When they are impacted, growing at an angle, causing decay in the adjacent second molar, or creating recurrent infections, extraction is the appropriate treatment.
Andent Clinic performs simple extractions of fully erupted wisdom teeth and surgical extractions of partially impacted cases under local anaesthesia. Fully impacted cases requiring surgical exposure and bone removal can also be assessed. The decision between simple and surgical extraction is made from a panoramic or 3D X-ray that shows the exact position of the tooth and its relationship to nearby structures.
For patients who need wisdom teeth removed and are also having other work done in Tirana, the extraction is scheduled to allow sufficient recovery time before other treatments. If extraction is part of a wider plan involving future dental implants , bridges , or crowns, the Andent team plans the sequence so healing and restorative work are properly coordinated.
Recovery after wisdom tooth extraction
- Simple extraction: 24 to 48 hours of discomfort managed with medication recommended by the clinician. Most patients function normally within 2 days.
- Surgical extraction: 3 to 5 days of swelling and discomfort. Antibiotics prescribed when indicated. Stitches removed at 7 to 10 days, either in Tirana or by the home dentist.
- Soft food diet for 2 to 3 days. No smoking for 48 hours minimum. No rinsing the socket for 24 hours.
For patients travelling from abroad, wisdom tooth extraction can be combined with check-up, hygiene, fillings, or other general dentistry services during the same dental tourism visit .
Why general dentistry in Albania
makes financial and clinical sense
Many patients dismiss the idea of travelling for a check-up or a filling because the individual saving seems small. The compelling case emerges when you look at a full treatment plan rather than a single procedure. This is where dental tourism in Albania becomes most valuable: several treatments can be planned, priced, and completed in one efficient visit to Tirana.

What patients say about
their general dentistry visit
These are patients who visited Andent Clinic primarily for general dentistry rather than specialist implant or veneer treatments. Their experiences include restorative, endodontic, periodontal, and general dental care completed during visits to Tirana.
“J’avais une douleur sur une molaire depuis 8 mois que j’évitais de traiter parce que le devis était de €1,800 en France. À Tirana, le traitement endodontique et la couronne zircone m’ont coûté €490. Le rapport clinique en français était parfaitement rédigé pour mon dentiste de retour à Lyon.”
“Avevo parodontite iniziale che il mio dentista a Firenze aveva stimato €900 per trattare. La pulizia profonda a Tirana è costata €280, fatta molto bene con anestesia locale dove necessario. Ho aggiunto 4 otturazioni in composito e il totale è stato €550. Il coordinatore italiano era eccellente.”
If you have an existing treatment plan, dental X-rays, or a list of recommended procedures from your home dentist, the Andent team can review the information before your trip and help organise the treatments that may be completed during your stay in Tirana.
International patients often contact Andent Clinic after receiving a treatment plan from their home dentist involving several procedures, such as composite fillings, periodontal treatment, root canal therapy, or dental crowns.
Before travelling, patients can send recent dental X-rays, photographs, or an existing treatment plan to the clinic for an initial review. This helps the coordination team understand which procedures may be required and how they could be scheduled during the visit.
When root canal treatment is required, the approved Andent price is €150–€250. If root canal treatment is combined with a crown, the expected price is approximately €490.
When a monolithic zirconia crown is clinically appropriate, the current Andent price is €180–€250. Other treatments such as fillings, periodontal care, or extractions are priced according to the individual procedure and clinical requirements.
The final treatment sequence and cost are confirmed after the clinical examination in Tirana. This allows the dentist to confirm the diagnosis, review any required X-rays, and determine which treatments are appropriate before work begins.
Patients can send their existing treatment plan, X-rays, or dental photographs through the consultation form before travelling.
Established dental manufacturers
used at Andent Clinic
General dentistry quality is determined by the training of the clinical team, the protocols followed, and the materials placed. These are some of the key dental material and implant brands used at Andent Clinic.
General dentistry in Albania: what makes it worth the trip for European patients
Travelling to Albania for a single routine dental procedure may not always provide a significant financial advantage once travel and accommodation are considered. The comparison becomes more relevant for patients who need several treatments during the same visit, such as fillings, periodontal care, root canal treatment, dental crowns, or other restorative procedures.
The total cost depends on the patient’s individual treatment plan, number of procedures, materials selected, and clinical requirements. For international patients, combining several necessary treatments within one coordinated visit can make travel more practical than travelling for a single minor procedure.
What to send for a treatment plan quote
The most useful way to request an initial Tirana treatment estimate is to send the treatment plan provided by your home dentist. A written plan usually identifies the procedures that have already been recommended and helps the Andent coordination team prepare an initial estimate before travel.
If you do not have a recent treatment plan, you can send available dental X-rays, photographs, or a description of your concerns. A full clinical examination in Tirana is still required to confirm the diagnosis, final treatment sequence, and exact price before treatment begins.
