In recent years, medical tourism has experienced exponential growth. More and more people are choosing to travel abroad to receive medical care and specialized treatments at competitive costs, avoiding long waiting lists.

The countries most involved in this trend include Turkey, Thailand, Hungary, Poland, and more recently, Albania—an emerging destination known for offering high-quality healthcare services at affordable prices.

Albania: A Destination of Natural Beauty and Excellent Medical Care

Albania, famous for its stunning Adriatic and Ionian beaches, breathtaking mountains, and rich cultural heritage, is becoming a prominent player in the field of medical tourism. In addition to offering modern healthcare facilities and highly qualified staff, many clinics provide all-inclusive packages that cover treatments, accommodation, and transportation—making the patient experience both comfortable and stress-free.

One of the fields where Albania particularly excels is dental tourism. With state-of-the-art clinics and doctors trained at prestigious European universities, the “Land of the Eagles” welcomes thousands of patients every year from Italy and across Europe. These patients are drawn by the opportunity to receive high-quality dental care at up to 60% less than Italian prices.

Clinica Prestige Dental: Excellence and Innovation in Dental Tourism

Among the most renowned dental tourism providers in Albania is Clinica Prestige Dental located in Kavajë, just a few kilometers from Tirana. Founded by Dr. Erdit Dervishi and Dr. Oslunena Daja—both graduates of the University of Bari Aldo Moro and specialists in oral surgery, implant prosthetics, and laser-assisted procedures—the clinic is a benchmark for those seeking safe and effective dental treatments.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Erdit Dervishi, who shared the clinic’s mission with us:

Dr. Dervishi, why should an Italian patient choose Albania for dental treatment?

“Albania offers the advantage of cutting-edge clinics at much more affordable prices than in Italy. We also guarantee significantly shorter waiting times and a highly personalized service. With our all-inclusive packages, the patient doesn’t have to worry about anything—we handle airport transfers, hotel accommodation, and ongoing assistance.”

What are the most requested treatments?

“Italian patients mostly come to us for dental implants, aesthetic veneers, and advanced implant-prosthetic treatments. Thanks to laser-assisted technology, we can offer minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery times.”

What makes Clinica Prestige Dental unique?

“Beyond the quality of our treatments, what truly sets us apart is our patient-focused approach. Our team consists of highly specialized professionals, many with international experience. We provide a welcoming and modern environment, equipped with the latest technology to ensure the best possible outcomes.”

An Experience Beyond the Clinic: Tourism and Relaxation in Albania

Another reason Albania is becoming an ideal destination for medical tourism is the opportunity to combine treatment with a relaxing vacation. From the crystal-clear beaches of Ksamil and Dhërmi to the Albanian Alps, and the historical charm of Berat and Gjirokastër, Albania offers countless options for those who wish to pair wellbeing with discovery.

With competitive pricing, high medical standards, and warm hospitality, medical tourism in Albania is set to grow rapidly—representing a compelling alternative for those seeking quality care without giving up the pleasure of travel.
