Dental Care Lounge is a high-specification dental practice located at Tsarigradsko Shose 33, Sofia, Bulgaria. The clinic is led by Dr. Yana Anastasova-Yoshida, a prosthodontic and aesthetic dentistry specialist with an academic and clinical career spanning Bulgaria, Germany, and Austria โ and complemented by Dr. Marta Vasilev, an orthodontist who completed both her degree and PhD at Wurzburg University, Germany and brings over a decade of clinical experience from leading orthodontic practices in Germany. Together, the two-doctor team provides a depth of specialist expertise in aesthetics, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry that is unusual for a private dental practice of this size.
Dr. Yana Anastasova-Yoshida: Prosthodontics, Aesthetics, and CEREC
Dr. Anastasova-Yoshida joined the family clinic โ which had been operating for over 20 years before she graduated โ immediately upon completing her degree at the Institute of Dental Medicine in Sofia, where she simultaneously specialised in and taught Prosthetic Dental Medicine. Her pursuit of academic excellence led her to the Medical Centre of Saarland University, Germany, where she conducted dissertation research under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Peter Pospiech, a globally recognised expert in prosthetic dentistry and ceramic restorations.
Following her research, she joined the Danube Private University (DPU) in Austria as a senior doctor (Oberarzt), where she specialised in and taught Aesthetic Dentistry and Implantology and headed the university's CEREC training programme. She concurrently obtained a certificate in CAD/CAM technologies at the Digital Dental Academy in Berlin. Her academic output includes publications in material science, aesthetic and prosthetic dentistry, and dental student course books and manuals. She has been featured in Capital Health and Cosmetic Dentistry โ Practice & Science Magazine.
Dr. Marta Vasilev: German-Trained PhD Orthodontist
Dr. Marta Vasilev brings orthodontic expertise of a calibre rarely found outside academic teaching centres. A graduate and PhD holder from Wurzburg University, Germany, she accumulated over 10 years of hands-on experience in leading orthodontic clinics in Germany before joining Dental Care Lounge. She is a member of the European Orthodontic Society (EOS), the Bulgarian Orthodontic Society (BOO), the Bulgarian Orthodontic Aligner Society (BOAS), and the Bulgarian Dentist Association. Her clear aligner expertise is backed by formal society membership in Bulgaria's dedicated aligner organisation.

Evidence-Based Practice
The clinic explicitly commits to scientific, evidence-based treatment protocols, keeping abreast of current publications and participating in international dental conferences and meetings to access the latest advances. This academic orientation is a direct reflection of both doctors' university backgrounds and research histories.

Why Dental Care Lounge for Dental Tourism?
For patients seeking aesthetic, prosthetic, or orthodontic treatment at university-specialist level, Dental Care Lounge offers a genuinely exceptional combination of qualifications. The CEREC in-house milling capability means ceramic restorations can often be completed in a single visit, reducing the number of trips to Sofia required. Dr. Vasilev's aligner expertise and EOS membership make the clinic a strong choice for international patients seeking orthodontic correction. Bulgarian treatment costs are typically 50-70% below German or Austrian equivalents for the same quality of materials and clinical expertise.
