Blackburn Patient Reviews

"Couldn't get an NHS dentist in Blackburn for 4 years. Needed two implants. Manchester to Tirana was dead easy - cheaper flight than going to London! Saved over £3,000 and got a mini holiday. Can't believe I waited so long."

Mohammed A. - Audley Range, Blackburn

Treatment: 2 Dental Implants

"Factory work doesn't pay for fancy dentists. Was quoted £10,000 for veneers at a local private place. Albania did it for £3,500. The clinic was more modern than anything I've seen round here. Absolutely chuffed!"

Wayne T. - Mill Hill, Blackburn

Treatment: 10 Veneers

"Mum needed full upper dentures but wanted implant-supported ones. UK quotes were astronomical. Took her to Albania - they looked after her brilliantly. Saved enough for a new kitchen as well!"

Sarah H. - Darwen

Treatment: All-on-4 (for mother)
