Dentistry
A dental implant by itself is not a tooth! A dental implant is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Essentially, it is a small titanium post/fixture that is inserted into the jawbone, on top of which a single crown (cap), a fixed bridge, a partial denture, or full denture can be attached. Once the implant integrates to your bone, a structure called an abutment is connected to the implant and then the artificial tooth/teeth are attached. Therefore, there are 3 parts to an “implant tooth”: the dental implant itself, the abutment, and the artificial tooth.
Almost anyone who is missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth are candidates for dental implants.
Dental implants can last a lifetime and can improve your appearance, your confidence, and your ability to eat the foods you like, and participate in an active lifestyle, without worrying about your teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium and can never get dental decay!
Like any minor oral surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection, inflammation, and pain, but your prosthodontist will discuss how these can be managed for your specific situation. If there is no available bone to place the implant, then bone and gum grafting procedures may be required, which can increase the cost of your treatment. However, the upfront investment can pay off in the long term.
The cost will vary by patient needs, bone quantity, and region. Our prosthodontists will make an assessment based on your unique needs. Nevertheless, we can guarantee that the expenses will be notably lower compared to private healthcare in countries such as the UK, USA, Italy, Germany, and others, all the while providing you with exceptional world-class treatment.
It varies from individual to individual and with health and habits. For a healthy individual with good oral hygiene and good health, dental implants are predictably successful with reported success rates above 90-95 percent.
Unlike natural teeth, dental implants are not susceptible to dental disease such as decay; however, the health of the gums is vital to maintaining lasting implant success. Conscientious home care by the patient and regular professional cleanings and check-ups are essential elements for dental implant sustainability.
Implant surgery is a surgery performed in stages and completed with outpatient treatment, which does not require hospitalization. The whole process can take months, but most of this is the healing process. The healing process may vary depending on the implant used and the condition of the disease. Before implant placement, the surgeon pulls out the problematic tooth and makes a hole in the bone tissue where the implant will be placed. After the implant is placed in the bone, healing is expected for a while for the bone to cover the implant and form a solid base for the denture. In this process, a temporary dental prosthesis can be used for aesthetic purposes, since you have a missing tooth. After this process, a piece called abutment, which acts as a bridge between the implant and the prosthetic tooth, is placed on the implant. After this stage, the patient and the dentist can decide together whether the dental prosthesis will be fixed or removable. Dental implants usually show a smooth healing process. However, in cases that may impair the healing process, such as smoking, not paying attention to oral hygiene, and actions that injure the implant, the implant can be removed and the treatment can be repeated after about three months.

Hair Transplant
On average, a hair transplantation procedure usually lasts for approximately 6 to 8 hours. Throughout the process, the patient is provided with intervals to have meals and hydrate with water.
Patients do not need to stay at the hospital after hair transplantation. The patient is free to go home right after the operation.
Staying 3 days in Albania for hair transplantation treatment is ideal. On the first day, the patient has physical examination and a hair analysis. On the second day, hair transplantation is performed. On the third day, the patient has post-op check-up with the doctor.
There are no disadvantages to having additional aesthetic procedures either before or after a hair transplantation. Nevertheless, it is important for both the hair transplantation specialist and the plastic surgeon to individually examine the patient. To coordinate both surgeries effectively and prevent any issues, it is advisable for the patient to seek guidance from our patient consultant.
Patient should refrain blood thinner medications (anticoagulant drugs such as aspirin, ecoprin, heparin, coumadin, Plavix) for 2-3 days before the operation. However, the patient should continue taking all medicines he/she takes regularly.
The first hair washing after hair transplantation is done with some lotion 1-2 days after the operation. For the first 10 days after hair transplantation, hair washing should be done using a lot of lotion to accelerate the healing process for the scabs as well.
Thanks to the latest techniques, such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), the patient can easily return to his/her work on the very next day after the operation.
All the patients are free to start doing sports after hair transplantation. They should pay attention to start with stretching and doing basic exercises for the first 3- 4 days. However, it is recommended to wait up to two weeks for getting back to regular sports activities.
The hair in the donor area is usually shaved regardless of the technique. However, shaving the hair in the recipient area depends on the technique.
For FUE technique, hair in both donor and recipient area is shaved.
However for DHI technique, only the hair in the donor area is shaved. Hair transplant can be performed without shaving the hair in the recipient area.
After hair transplantation, the donor area is covered with a compression dressing but the recipient area is left open. The dressing should stay for 2-3 days after hair transplantation.
Everybody, whose donor area has enough grafts to be operated on, can have hair transplantation. There are no limits such as age, hair quality or gender.
Patients who have chronic diseases or take medications should inform the doctor about their health status in advance so the doctor can take the necessary precautions accordingly.
It is important to refrain swimming, sauna or heavy sports for six weeks. Avoid smoking and alcohol enables a fast recovery. The patient is free to use the shampoo that was used before.

With rhinoplasty, the external areas of the nose are intervened, as well as the internal areas. After the existing cartilage problems are eliminated, breathing problems will also be eliminated.
