The questions people actually ask, answered without marketing language.
Is dental treatment in Albania safe?
It depends entirely on the clinic, which is why we verify them rather than list them. We check operating licences, individual clinician registrations, malpractice insurance, sterilisation protocols and reported complication rates, and we re-check annually. That said, no treatment anywhere is risk-free, and any company that tells you otherwise is selling to you.
Why is it so much cheaper?
Mostly labour, premises and laboratory costs, which are a large share of dental pricing and are far lower in Albania. It is not because the materials are different — the implant systems used by our partner clinics are the same brands used across Europe, and the plan we send you names them.
What if I need more treatment than expected?
Foreseeable extras, such as bone grafting, are priced in your original quote so you know the figure in advance. If something genuinely unforeseen is found, you get a revised written quote and time to think about it. You can decline and go home. Treatment does not proceed on a verbal conversation in the chair.
How many trips will I need?
It depends on the treatment. Veneers, crowns and bridges are usually one trip. Implants and full-arch work usually need two, because the implant has to integrate with the bone before the final teeth go on. Your plan will say precisely.
Who pays if something goes wrong?
It depends on what and when, and it is set out in writing before you travel rather than negotiated afterwards. Warranty terms are part of your quote, and the aftercare page explains the process.
Do you take a commission?
Yes, and it is the clinic that pays, never you: you do not pay Curalb anything for finding or coordinating your treatment. The clinic pays us a percentage when your treatment is completed, and we will tell you what it is. We are deliberately not paid for introductions — that model rewards volume of enquiries rather than quality of outcome, and it is the reason most sites in this category behave the way they do.
Can a clinic pay to be recommended?
No, and there is no mechanism for it. Placement is not for sale on this site and never will be.
