Overcoming Dental Fear, and Rediscovering Her Smile

Sofia’s Story

Patient Origin
Rome, Italy

Treatment
Implant surgery under full anaesthesia

Why Sofia Travelled

Years of dental anxiety made even basic care feel impossible. Private treatment in Italy was too expensive, and the thought of sitting in a dental chair caused panic. Then Sofia found HospitalOne, where full sedation and a kind, hospital-trained team helped her finally take the step.

Sofia’s Experience

A calm flight to Tirana, private pickup, and personalised support

Six days of recovery in a sea-view hotel

A procedure done under safe, hospital-level anaesthesia, no pain, no panic

Warm, Italian-speaking staff who respected her fear and never rushed

“I woke up, and it was done. No stress, no fear, just relief.”

Sofia even enjoyed the little things: exploring the local market, chatting with hotel staff, and feeling truly human again.

Her implants were a success. But more than that, she got her trust back.

The Outcome

“I can smile again, without fear.
That’s everything.”
