    🛡 OUR VERIFICATION PROCESS

    How We Verify Every Clinic

    We personally inspect each clinic to ensure they meet our strict standards. Your safety is non-negotiable.

    "I personally visit every clinic before they join our platform. If I wouldn't trust them with my own dental care, they don't make it onto Smile Transit."

    Why Verification Matters

    Most dental tourism platforms let anyone list a clinic with zero verification. That's dangerous and irresponsible.

    At Smile Transit, we treat clinic verification like a job interview. Every applicant goes through our rigorous 7-step process. Only the best make it through.

    Result: 73% of applicants are rejected. The 27% who pass represent the absolute best Albania has to offer.
