Describe your situation in the box below: one of our consultants calls you back, listens to your case in real time and suggests the best solution among the partner clinics. You continue only if you want to.
A cracked tooth or a crown that's failing doesn't improve with time. As one of our filmed patients said after years of failing crowns: "18 months on — I have not had a problem at all." A dental crown protects and restores a damaged, cracked or root-treated tooth, and dental tourism in Tirana lets you have it placed with brand-name materials, against a written quote at a guaranteed price. Albanian Dental Clinic is not a clinic: we coordinate your journey in English; placement is performed exclusively by a licensed partner clinic in Albania.
A crown is a "cap" that completely covers a tooth too damaged for a simple filling: a fractured tooth, a heavily decayed one, or a tooth devitalized after root canal treatment. It restores the tooth's shape, strength and appearance, and protects what remains of it. A well-made crown can last many years.
The material is chosen with the practitioner based on the tooth's position and your clinical situation, after a review of your scans — which we arrange in English before you travel.
The cost of a dental crown depends on the material and the clinic, which is why we do not publish a single figure here. Every crown at our partner clinics in Tirana comes with a written quote at a guaranteed price: it is issued in writing, in English and itemised line by line, after a free videocall with the doctor who would treat you, and before any commitment. It names the material and the warranty, and the figure does not move on arrival. Requesting it is free. Each partner clinic publishes its own price list and sends the complete list by email on request, with no phone number needed. Always compare like for like: diagnosis, placement, warranty and follow-up.
The same zirconia and ceramic materials, and an in-house prosthetics laboratory at several partner clinics: the written quote names the material and the warranty, so you know exactly what is being made for you before you decide.
A crown is not always the answer for a damaged tooth, and an honest assessment starts by ruling out the alternatives. A filling is enough when enough healthy tooth structure remains; a veneer covers the front surface for a cosmetic change without the fuller reduction a crown requires (see our veneers page for that distinction). A crown becomes the right tool when the tooth is too damaged, too decayed, or too weakened after root canal treatment for either of those to hold up — which is why the practitioner reviews your scans before recommending one, rather than defaulting to it.
Two visits, in most cases. At the first, the tooth is prepared and shaped, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a temporary crown protects the tooth while the definitive one is made — at several partner clinics, in the same in-house laboratory, which shortens the wait between visits. At the second, once the definitive crown is finished and checked for fit and bite, it is permanently fitted. Root-canal-treated teeth are prepared and reviewed first; the crown timeline follows once that treatment is confirmed to have succeeded.
Fixed, removable and implant-supported prosthetics are a clinic specialty at Creadent Clinic, which designs and produces crowns, bridges and prosthetics in its own in-house CAD/CAM laboratory — see materials and laboratories.
Real before/after cases are shown on the partner clinics' own storefront pages. Individual results vary by case.
A well-made crown can last many years, though the exact lifespan depends on the material, your bite and your aftercare. The written quote names the material and the warranty terms so this is agreed in writing, not left to guesswork.
No — a temporary crown protects the prepared tooth for the period between the first visit and the definitive crown being fitted, so you are never left with an exposed or unprotected tooth.
That is a clinical decision made with the practitioner after reviewing your scans, based on the tooth's position and your situation, not a preference you need to arrive with.
No. A veneer covers the front surface of a tooth and preserves most of its structure; a crown covers the whole tooth and requires more reduction. Which one applies to your case depends on how damaged the tooth actually is.
