Summary
Durrës Dental Clinic is a dental tourism-oriented private clinic founded in 2020 and led by Dr. Kamela Spaho, an implantologist and oral surgeon. Three dentists are named on the about-us page, covering oral surgery/implantology, endodontics and restorative dentistry. The clinic publishes a services page with treatments but does not list prices on its website; implant starting prices (from €350) appear on the homepage as marketing copy. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday and the clinic documents English and Italian language support.
Founded 2020 per about-us page; relatively new clinic. Homepage claims '4.9 stars / 100+ Google reviews' but this cannot be verified through any accessible independent Google Maps mirror — treated as unverified. CEREC same-day crown milling mentioned in services page. A second dentist 'Dr. Ilir' is listed on about-us page without a full surname — cannot be matched to USSH registry. Instagram @durres_dental_clinic and WhatsApp via the same number as the main phone.
