Dental tourism? Yes, but beware of prices discounted more than 60%! If you do not get a guaranteed tax receipt, you will not be able to do anything in case of problems!
Significant discounts and favorable tax rates are one of the reasons why people opt for a Dental Clinic abroad.
A tax-advantaged regime such as the Albanian one, in which there is no VAT, allows Dental Clinics to be able to offer their patients very affordable prices!
But beware. When relying on a foreign Clinic, it is crucial to understand what is included in the quote. Discounts over 60% do not guarantee safety and quality of care!
Beware of low cost clinics that offer low prices without a tax receipt. The problem is serious.
A low-cost Clinic is not reliable from a point of view of the quality of work performed. Clinics that offer discounts of more than 70% compromise the quality of the proposed care, primarily because they do not guarantee tax receipts.
Without a tax receipt, no one will be able to intervene in case of repair or maintenance work
This is one of the most troubling aspects that is becoming known: Low Cost Clinics taking advantage of patients without giving them any form of receipt tax guarantee. In fact, without a receipt, your implant is not registered anywhere!
Do you know what this means? That in case of repair or maintenance work; no one will be able to take charge of your situation. You can knock on all the doors you want; no one will be able to answer you!
Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that the contract signed with the Clinic is done in compliance with the current legislation and that it is accompanied by the tax receipt that sets the relationship between both parties and protects the patient for all eventualities!
Having the guarantee of a tax receipt also allows you to download the costs in the Italian 730 tax return
That’s right, with a tax receipt you can deduct 19% of the cost from your tax return in the 730 model. Expenses incurred in a foreign Clinic, such as in Albania, are tax deductible! With significant savings, therefore.
Moreover, did you know that dental expenses incurred abroad could also be deducted from your income?
The method is similar to filling out the 730, by entering the amount on line E1 of Schedule E, i.e. “Charges and Expenses” you will be able to deduct 19% of the expenses incurred for tax purposes.
This is not the end of the story: other fundamental aspects to take into account are: the materials used, which should be certified and of quality: that is why it is always good to make sure they have an implant passport. Not only that, it is also important to make sure of the technique used: for example, the technique used, preferably computer guided, the instrumentation and machinery used during the first visit, the health protocols used by the facility, but, above all, the skills of the technicians who will be in charge of the surgery!
It is important regarding this last point to clarify that the medical staff of professionals must always consist of surgeons and anesthesiologists!
Make sure that the team that will take care of your Dental Health is prepared and qualified to deal with your surgery in the best possible way because it is by the quality of the professionals that will measure the success of your outcome!
THE PROPOSAL.
Packages that focus excessively on entertainment are absolutely to be avoided. Dental tourism does not mean taking a vacation; in fact, we are talking about your Health, which must always be put first.

Finally, be wary of unfamiliar intermediary agencies and make sure you get all the information you need to choose the best Dental Clinic abroad that will guarantee convenience but also safety and a quality result!
