Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sidus Dental?
Sidus Dental provides dental treatment in Albania for UK and international patients. Every case is assigned to the right clinical team from our vetted network of specialist doctors, surgeons and clinics in Albania. The treatment is delivered by licensed professionals. The process, the planning, the materials and the standards are managed by Sidus Dental from start to finish.
Who is Max Prenga?
Max Prenga is the founder of Sidus Dental, with over 11 years of experience managing dental treatment cases in Albania. He oversees every case, knows the clinical teams personally, and makes sure the standards behind every treatment are not left to chance. When you start a case with Sidus Dental, Max is the person behind it.
Why go through Sidus Dental instead of booking a clinic directly?
When you contact a clinic directly, you are limited to what that clinic can offer. Sidus Dental works with a wide network of specialist surgeons and doctors across Albania, which means the right clinical team is matched to the actual case, not just the nearest available one.
Some patients need a surgeon who performs zygomatic implants. Most clinics do not have one in-house. Sidus Dental does, within its network. Some cases require a maxillofacial specialist. Again, most clinics cannot provide that. Sidus Dental can.
On materials, most clinics use the phrase “premium implants” without naming the brand, the manufacturer, or the country of origin. In many cases, the zirconia blocks used have no labeled brand at all. Sidus Dental works only with EU-certified materials from named manufacturers. Every implant brand Sidus Dental uses is listed on the website. Every prosthetic material, price, manufacturer and country of origin is published and confirmed before any commitment is made.
Patients are also never rushed. Treatment timing at Sidus Dental is driven by clinical need and health protocols, not by filling appointment slots or fitting a flight home.
Does treatment cost more through Sidus Dental?
No. Sidus Dental provides the same prices as the clinics it works with and in most cases, patients pay less than they would going directly. Every quote is itemized, transparent, and confirmed before any commitment is made. No vague totals. No surprises after arrival.
How do I start?
The easiest way is WhatsApp. Tap the button on the website and send Max your photos, X-rays or existing quotes directly. You can also submit the case review form on the website or reach out through Facebook or Instagram. Max reviews every case personally and comes back with a clear answer, not a standard reply.
Is dental treatment in Albania safe?
Yes If the case is planned properly, the right clinic and team are chosen, and the treatment is not approached blindly. Albania itself is not the danger. The real danger is rushing into the wrong clinic, the wrong treatment, or the wrong promises without enough control first.
How do I know if the treatment being proposed is right for my case?
You do not judge that from a quick quote or a package offer. The case has to be looked at properly first. Max makes sure the treatment is reviewed with more control so you are not pushed into something just because it is faster, easier to sell, or more profitable for the clinic.
How do I know what materials are being used?
You should know exactly what is being used before treatment starts, not guess later. Max keeps that part clear, so the patient is not left blind on materials, systems, or what is actually being placed in the mouth.
How do I know the treatment is not being rushed?
Serious treatment should fit the case, not the flight home. Max stays close to the process to make sure the treatment is not being forced into an unrealistic timeline just to move fast, close fast, or treat the patient like a number.
How do I choose between Albania and Turkey for dental treatment?
Do not choose the country first. Choose the right route for the case. The real decision is not Albania versus Turkey on its own, it is who is doing the treatment, how it is being planned, what standards are being followed, and whether there is real accountability around the process. That is what Max helps manage.
How much can I really save on dental treatment abroad?
That depends on the treatment, the case, the materials, and how much work is needed. Many patients do save up to 80% compared with UK prices, but the goal should not be cheap treatment on its own. The goal is better value, proper planning, and a treatment path that makes sense for the case.
What is included in the price, and are there hidden costs I should watch for?
The price should be clear before you commit. You should know what treatment is included, what materials are being used, what is not included, and whether anything could change later. Max helps keep that part clear so you are not walking into vague pricing, surprise add-ons, or promises that change after arrival.
How long do I need to stay in Albania for crowns, implants, or full-mouth work?
That depends on the treatment. Crowns are usually done in one stage, but that stage normally takes more than one week so everything can be checked properly. Implants and full-mouth cases need two stages. Max plans the timing around the real case, so the treatment fits the timeline properly instead of forcing the treatment to fit the trip.
Do I need one trip or two trips for my treatment?
Some treatments can be done in one trip. Others, especially implant and full-mouth cases, often need two stages. That depends on what the case actually needs, not on what sounds easier to sell. Max helps make that clear before anything is booked.
Do you help organise hotel, airport pickup, and the practical side of the trip?
Yes. Sidus Dental helps organize the practical side around the treatment, including hotel accommodation, airport pickup, local transfers, help with flights, and local guidance during the stay. The goal is not just to get you to the clinic, but to make the whole trip easier and more controlled.
What happens if I have a problem after I return home?
You do not get left alone. If a problem comes up after you return home, you contact Max directly. Max stays involved, speaks with the clinic, and makes sure the issue is handled properly. If the problem is within the warranty or aftercare side of the treatment, the return is organised, hotel accommodation support is arranged, and the necessary treatment is done with the clinic.
Who do I contact if something feels wrong after treatment?
You contact Max. That is exactly why Sidus Dental exists, so you are not left chasing a clinic alone when something feels wrong after treatment.
What if the clinic changes the treatment plan or price after I arrive?
That should not be happening without a clear reason. If something changes after arrival, Max steps in, checks what is really happening, and makes sure the patient is not left alone dealing with pressure, confusion, or unjustified price changes.
Will I receive records, material details, and aftercare instructions to take home?
Yes. The patient should leave with clear records, material details where relevant, and proper aftercare instructions. That information should not be vague, and Max helps make sure it is clear before the case is closed.
How does Sidus Dental stay involved before, during, and after treatment?
Max stays involved from the case review to the treatment period and the follow-up after. That means clearer communication, better control around the process, and one person staying on the case instead of the patient being left alone at different stages.
