General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary
Sekniqi Dental is a family-run clinic in central Shkodër operating across three generations, with dentists trained in Paris, Tirana, and Russia. The clinic offers implantology, orthodontics, oral surgery, prosthodontics, periodontology, and dental aesthetics, and states that its equipment includes a CT Orthophos SL scanner, a CJ-Optic dental microscope, and a CEREC CAD/CAM system. The clinic markets dental-tourism services to international patients and emphasises transparent pricing without hidden fees.
The address given on the official site (Sheshi Demokracia, Shkoder) and in the Dental Tourism Albania directory (St. Qemal Darçini, Shkodër) differ; the near-place.com and other local sources list Rruga Vilson, which is consistent with the MyGuide Albania listing. The two addresses may reflect a former vs. current location. The phone +355692026898 appears as a secondary number on the official site. The dentist-registry check (ussh.org.al) found Genti Sekniqi licensed (issued 2021-01-27, expiration 2026-01-27); no entry was found for Abdullah Sekniqi or Dervish Sekniqi. The Dental Tourism Albania listing shows a UK relay phone (+447500162655) and its own email; those were not used as primary contacts.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (10 reviews read): owner replies to reviews no, suspicious review patterns no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reviews on other platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Booking Dentist, Wupdoc or Trustpilot; the dental-tourism guide cited earlier only repeated the clinic's Google reviews, so this is now marked no. |
| 2026-09-30 | Found the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-09-30 by a direct search; it lists the clinic's own website and city. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked for a TripAdvisor listing: a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile, and the clinic's own website carries no TripAdvisor link. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website, including its online service catalogue, and its Google listing. Recorded: 119 reviews, newest from last month; genuine treatment-room photos on the Google listing; no pediatric or emergency service found. The site's service catalogue prices every treatment at a placeholder €0.00 with an enquiry button, so no individual treatment price (cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation, X-ray) is actually published despite the catalogue's structure. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, Facebook page, and whether the clinic responds to reviews. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: website live, name/phone unchanged, not permanently closed; ADDRESS CORRECTED from stored "Rruga Vilson, godina pas PS, Shkodër 4001" to "Sheshi Demokracia, Shkodër" per the clinic's own live website; captured first Google rating 5.0 (review count not visible on render); no coordinates found. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live at sekniqidental.com, name/phone unchanged, site active. Note: the site's own /en/contact/ page lists the address as 'Sheshi Demokracia, Shkoder' rather than the stored 'Rruga Vilson, godina pas PS, Shkodër 4001' — however independent third-party listings (myguide-albania.com, dentaltourismalbania.com) corroborate the stored Rruga Vilson address, so it is left unchanged pending clarification of this conflict. Google reputation not captured; no changes recorded. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against USSH register (Genti Sekniqi already verified in a prior pass, unchanged): Abdullah Sekniqi and Dervish Sekniqi not matched by exact name, left null rather than false. |
| 2026-08-18 | Imported from the city-tier dataset. |
