Ranking Transparency
How Dental Travel Ranks Dental Clinics in Albania
Our clinic selection criteria, editorial ordering process and commercial-partnership disclosure, explained in full.
This page explains how Dental Travel compiles its clinic directory and editorial shortlist, and how our Preferred Choice commercial partnership is disclosed and kept separate from that editorial process.
What this methodology is not
Dental Travel's clinic comparisons are not a clinical-outcomes audit, a medical accreditation, or a substitute for your own due diligence and a dentist's professional opinion. We do not have access to clinical records, complication rates or patient outcome data for any clinic.
How clinics are selected for the directory
International-patient offering
Clinics included currently serve international, English-speaking patients from Tirana, Albania.
Public information availability
Clinics must publish enough verifiable information (services, location, contact details) for us to build an accurate profile and link to their official website.
Independent transparency signals
Where available, we cross-check clinics against independent, publicly available transparency and digital-visibility data as a secondary signal alongside clinic-published information.
How the editorial Top 10 is ordered
Ordering on our 10 Best Dental Clinics in Albania page reflects a combination of published reputation and transparency signals, service accessibility for international patients, and digital-visibility data, evaluated qualitatively by our editorial team. It is explicitly not a clinical-quality ranking.
The Preferred Choice designation
Dental Med Austria is Dental Travel's Preferred Choice — a paid, disclosed commercial partnership. This designation:
- Is labelled explicitly wherever it appears on the site.
- Is kept separate from the ordering criteria described above.
- Does not imply an independently verified “best clinic” score.
How we handle clinic-published claims
Patient numbers, certifications, years of operation and similar figures published by clinics (including Dental Med Austria) are presented as clinic-published claims, attributed to the clinic, rather than converted into Dental Travel's own guarantees. We do not publish invented star ratings, review scores or patient-review structured data before we have real, traceable review data to support it.
Correction policy
Clinic pricing and published claims change over time. If you notice outdated information, email corrections@dentaltravel.al with the page URL, and we will review and update it.
What we deliberately avoid
- Fake reviews or fake star ratings
- Guaranteed medical outcomes or guaranteed savings percentages
- Hidden commercial rankings disguised as independent clinical scores
- Claims that structured data or an llms.txt file guarantees search or AI rankings
Frequently asked questions
Does Dental Med Austria pay to be listed first?
Dental Med Austria is Dental Travel's Preferred Choice commercial partner, and that relationship is disclosed on every page where the designation appears. It is presented separately from our editorial ordering of the other nine clinics.
Do you independently verify clinical outcomes?
No. We do not audit clinical outcomes, and we do not manufacture star ratings or patient reviews. Clinic-published experience claims (patient numbers, certifications) are attributed to the clinic, not adopted as Dental Travel's own findings.
How often is this methodology reviewed?
We review and update our criteria and each clinic profile periodically as source information changes; see the last-updated date at the bottom of this page.
