|---|---|---|
| Simple extraction (per tooth) | £200-400 | £100-150 |
| Surgical/impacted (per tooth) | £400-700 | £200-400 |
| All 4 wisdom teeth (typical case) | £1,600-2,800 | £400-1,000 |
Simple extractions run £100-150 per tooth in Tirana against £200-400 privately in the UK; surgically impacted teeth £200-400 versus £400-700. The arithmetic turns decisive with multiple teeth: all four out in one visit costs £400-1,000 in Tirana against £1,600-2,800 at home — and skips an NHS queue measured in months.
UK NHS extractions have long waitlists (6-18 months for non-urgent). UK private is expensive. Combining with a 2-3 day Tirana trip for €100/night hotel works out cheaper than UK private + faster than NHS.
A panoramic X-ray sorts every case. Fully erupted teeth with straight roots come out under local anaesthetic in 15-30 minutes — that is a simple extraction. Teeth that are tilted, half-covered by gum or still inside the bone need a surgical approach: a small gum incision, sometimes sectioning the tooth, and stitches — 30-60 minutes per tooth. Lower wisdom teeth sitting near the mandibular nerve get extra imaging before anyone commits. The written quote names the technique per tooth, so you know the total before you book flights.
A 2-3 day visit covers even a full four-tooth clearance, which takes 90-120 minutes in one sitting — with IV sedation available (adds £150-300) if being awake for it is the reason you have been postponing. Expect swelling to peak around day two, soft food for 3-5 days and no heavy exercise for about a week. Most patients fly home comfortably the next day; after IV sedation you wait 12-24 hours. Healing checks are then done by photo over WhatsApp once you are back.
You fly home with written aftercare instructions: how to manage the sockets in the first 48 hours, what counts as normal swelling versus something to report, and when stitches dissolve. The coordinator remains your contact — a photo over WhatsApp gets a clinical answer the same day, without booking anything.
Yes for medical necessity (pain, infection, decay), but waitlists 6-18 months. Private UK is faster but expensive.
Simple: 15-30 minutes per tooth. Surgical/impacted: 30-60 minutes. All 4 wisdom teeth in one session: 90-120 minutes total.
Soft food for 3-5 days. Avoid intense exercise 5-7 days. Healing 2-3 weeks. Can fly home next day if comfortable.
Yes — IV sedation available for patients with severe anxiety or multiple extractions. Adds £150-300.
For simple extractions, yes — cabin pressure does not affect a normal clot, and the aftercare rules you are given (no smoking, no straws) matter far more. After surgical extractions or IV sedation the clinic asks you to stay the extra night, which is built into your itinerary.
