How to plan the full timeline of a dental tourism treatment in Albania, from initial enquiry to final prosthetic delivery. Realistic week-by-week schedule.
Most dental tourism blogs obsess over price. But once you commit to travelling, the real anxiety shifts to something else: how long will the whole project take, and can I fit it around work, school holidays and life in general? A realistic timeline is the single most useful thing a clinic can give you before you book a flight.
This is the email and WhatsApp phase. You send your panoramic x-ray and a few intraoral photos. Elonix Clinic replies within 24 hours with a provisional treatment plan, price and an estimated number of visits. If the case is complex we schedule a 20-minute video consultation with the treating dentist. Nothing is binding yet.
Your first on-site visit usually covers diagnostics (CBCT, intraoral scan), any necessary extractions, and implant placement. For a single implant it is a 3-4 day trip. For full-arch rehabilitation it is a 5-7 day trip that includes immediate-load provisional teeth so you leave with something you can eat and smile with.
| Case | First Visit | Gap | Second Visit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant + crown | 3-4 days | 3-4 months | 2-3 days |
| Multiple implants | 5 days | 4-5 months | 4 days |
| All-on-4 full arch | 6-7 days | 4-6 months | 4-5 days |
| Veneers only | 5-6 days | n/a | n/a |
| Full mouth reconstruction | 7 days | 6 months | 6-7 days |
Between trips, your implants are osseointegrating with the jawbone. You will have a temporary crown or provisional bridge, and you can eat normally with a few restrictions. We send a check-in WhatsApp every two weeks and review any photos you send. If local issues arise, we help find a dentist near you for minor adjustments.
On the second trip we take the final impression or digital scan, try in the definitive prosthesis and deliver your permanent crowns, bridges or full arches. This visit is shorter, typically 2 to 5 days depending on the case. You leave with your warranty card, a digital backup of all scans and a final clinical report for your local dentist.
Every case is different. Send us your situation on WhatsApp and we will draft a realistic calendar matching your work schedule.
