Why London is 4x more expensive

The cost differential reflects: commercial rent on Harley Street vs Tirana (10x), UK dentist private wages vs Albanian (3x), CQC compliance cost vs Albanian QKL (2x). The implant brand, surgical protocol, and 12-month outcome timeline are identical.

3-hour flight makes warranty travel realistic

If a 10-year warranty claim arises, return flight Stansted-Tirana £80-180. Same UK private revision cost £4,000-6,000. The flight cost is minimal compared to the saving.
