Anveli Dental is the Bulgarian location of an international dental implant group headquartered in Switzerland, with partner clinics operating in Zurich, Belgrade, Montenegro, and Sofia. The practice is built around the pioneering work of Professor Stefan Ihde, the innovator behind Basal Implant Technology (BAx) and the founder and leader of the International Implant Foundation, through which he trains dental practitioners from across the world in advanced implantology. The Sofia clinic holds a 4.8-star patient rating and forms part of a network recognized across Europe for speed, precision, and the consistent delivery of full-mouth reconstructions that would be impossible or far more complex with conventional implant approaches.
With over 25 years of expertise in basal implantology, more than 3,000 patients treated, a 99 percent success rate, and a monthly average of 400 implants placed across the network, Anveli Dental operates at a volume and standard of clinical sophistication that few practices in the world can match. The lead surgeons are also active educators, training the next generation of implantologists and shaping the evolution of implant dentistry internationally.
Basal Implant Technology (BAx)
At the heart of Anveli Dental's offering is BAx basal implant technology, a proprietary implant system developed by Prof. Ihde that fundamentally redefines what is possible in complex implant cases. Conventional dental implants are placed in the trabecular (spongy) bone of the jaw, which requires adequate bone volume to be present. When bone has been lost due to tooth loss, periodontal disease, or long-term denture use, conventional implants typically cannot be placed without prior bone grafting or sinus lift surgery -- procedures that are time-consuming, expensive, and carry their own surgical risks.
Basal implants, by contrast, are anchored in the dense cortical bone layers of the jaw, which retain their volume even in patients who have experienced significant trabecular bone loss. This means that patients who would otherwise be told they are not suitable candidates for dental implants can often be treated successfully with BAx technology -- without bone grafts, without sinus lifts, and in a dramatically shorter timeframe. Only approximately 10 percent of Anveli's patients require any form of bone grafting, compared to the much higher proportions seen in conventional implant practices.
The BAx system also achieves immediate loading -- implants are loaded with a fixed prosthesis on the day of placement, meaning patients do not have to wait months for osseointegration before receiving functional teeth. This combination of graft-free surgery and immediate loading is the foundation of the clinic's signature seven-day full-mouth reconstruction protocol.
Full Mouth Reconstruction in 7 Days
For patients who need to replace all or most of their teeth, Anveli Dental offers a complete full-mouth reconstruction within a single seven-day treatment visit. On the first day, remaining compromised teeth are extracted if necessary, basal implants are placed in both arches in a single surgical session, and a temporary fixed prosthesis is cemented immediately -- so the patient leaves the clinic with functional, fixed teeth on the day of surgery. Over the following days, final prosthetic adjustments are made and the permanent metal-ceramic or zirconia bridge is delivered. By the end of the week, the reconstruction is complete.
This protocol is transformative for patients who have been living with failing teeth, advanced gum disease, full dentures, or years of dental neglect. It is particularly suited to patients who cannot travel repeatedly for treatment, including international dental tourists who wish to complete their entire reconstruction in a single trip to Sofia.
Additional Services
Beyond the core basal implant program, Anveli Dental offers conventional single and multiple dental implants with immediate loading for patients whose bone volume permits the standard approach. Hollywood Smile cosmetic rehabilitation combines implant restorations with aesthetic prosthetic work to achieve a complete smile transformation with the best possible aesthetic outcome. The clinic also offers general anesthesia for surgical procedures in patients who require or prefer a fully sedated treatment experience.
International Patient Care
Anveli Dental's multilingual team communicates in English, Russian, German, Spanish, and French, reflecting the broad international patient base the network serves. The Sofia clinic is an accessible and cost-competitive destination for patients from across Europe seeking the same BAx basal implant technology available at the Swiss locations but at significantly lower prices. Comprehensive before-and-after case documentation and a transparent quotation process allow prospective patients to evaluate outcomes and plan their treatment remotely before traveling to Sofia.
For patients who need complex full-arch rehabilitation and have been told that conventional implants are not an option, Anveli Dental's Sofia clinic offers a genuinely transformative clinical solution backed by the most advanced basal implant technology available anywhere in the world.
