Alpha Dental Studio

One implant renovation and two fillings.

Very professional. Thanks a lot.

2 extractions (old root and pulpitis).
Excellent service, Dr. Dimitrov is an obvious professional and gives very detailed explanations and instructions. Regarding the service, him and his staff did a great job and I would recommend them to everyone.

I understand we are in Bulgaria but glasses during surgery would be great. Not only for protection from "flying sewing needles" but also not to have the light shining directly in your eyes all the time.

A side-note to anyone coming from western countries, where we use the word "OK" for agreement as well as acknowledgment. I've noticed on multiple occasions while living and working here, Bulgarians understand this word something like "good" or "not a problem". Chose your words carefully if you don't want to get scolded by someone :)

Again, I highly recommend Alpha Dental Studio.

Dr Dimitrov speaks good English, knows his job well and is friendly and understanding. Strange facts: no goggles for the patient (lamp in your face), no x-ray scan of the jaws (only visual assessment). The price is steep for Eastern Europe, you can have cheaper options easily. I have a very low pain threshold and much anxiety so decided to pay extra and make sure the job is done well. I needed a really tricky crown on my lower right 6, Dr Dimitrov did it well. Hopefully, it will hold out for another 20 years.

Dental Implants, bridges, fillings and crowns

I had been without several pre-molars and molars on both sides of my lower jaw all my life. This condition was genetic and, in the absence of these teeth, I was forced to chew mainly with my front teeth. The result of this was that by the time I was 48 my front teeth had worn away very badly. My other teeth were not in a very good state either.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, by chance I came across The Alpha Dental Studio in Sofia, Bulgaria while I was on holiday. This was the best piece of 'luck' I ever had. I have since had my gaps filled with perfect bridges and implants, all my old metal fillings replaced with top class porcelain ones and my front teeth are so perfectly capped no one would know they were not natural.
I found Dr Dimitrov (now my permanent dentist even though I live in the UK) to be not only a perfectionist and expert in his field, but someone who always goes out of his way to ensure that the patient has a relaxed and stress free experience from start to finish.
He even arranges a pickup from the airport and a hotel if needed. All this would have been wonderful enough but I paid approximately one quarter to one third of the price I would have paid in the UK (that is including the flights and hotel).
All in all, I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough.

The purpose of this assessment is to give comment on the dental and personal treatment received from the Alpha Dental Studio during the period February through October 2011 and to give guidance to all future patients on what to expect from dental treatment in Bulgaria.Firstly it must be said that Dr. Yassen Dimitrov is a dental surgeon of the highest calibre and dedication, his practice is run with great attention to hygiene and wherever possible he tries to maintain his appointment roster. He is supported by two efficient dental assistants and members of his family.I, as a patient well into his seventies who lives in Cyprus, am not the easiest of individuals, I have a very low pain threshold and need confidence to accept all the treatments that were necessary when having (1) February 2011 (in the first of three visits); all my teeth removed and gums stitched under intravenous anaesthetic plus the provision of provisional dentures: then (2) July 2011 having five implants in my lower jaw, again under sedation; and finally (3) September 2011 returning to Sofia for the installation of the implant bridge and a precision cast upper denture – this time with anaesthetic delivered by injection into the lower jaw (which was not acceptable to me). As I have said, Dr. Dimitrov carried out all this work in a very professional manner; however, he was not too well assisted by the team of dental technicians that worked offsite from the Dental Studio. Worldwide it is generally accepted that dental technicians work a very tight and rushed schedules to achieve objectives in an environment of changing techniques and developments, here was no exception, my schedules, whilst finally achieved were never ‘delivered’ on time. There was always a “ninth-hour” delay that resulted in the treatments being completed within hours instead of days before my departures from Sofia. It should be added that Dr. Dimitrov had additional constraints brought about by his project management of his new dental surgery that is, and has been for this year, under development and construction. Hopefully when this project has been completed and he has moved in, his practice will achieve even higher standards in his techniques and deliveries.As part of his service there is the availability of an apartment situated close to the practice that is comfortable with facilities that are acceptable for short durations of stay. This apartment is competitively charged and its cost is in addition to the very competitive costs for the treatments.I have no hesitation is recommending The Alpha Dental Studio practice and Dr. Dimitrov in particular as long as prospective patients are aware of the environmental conditions as they presently exist in Bulgaria
