Why Choose Empress Dental in Sofia?

Sofia clinic led by Dr. Teodora Jozef in Manastirski Livadi, offering implants, Invisalign, veneers, and gentle family dentistry with personal care.

Empress Dental is a modern dental clinic in Sofia's Manastirski Livadi neighbourhood, located at ul. Kostenski Vodopad 119. Led by Dr. Teodora Jozef, the practice is known for its meticulous attention to detail, warm patient relationships, and a comprehensive approach to dental care that serves both adults and children. Patients consistently praise Dr. Jozef for her professionalism, thoroughness, and notably gentle manner with younger patients — qualities that make Empress Dental a trusted family dental home.

Implantology

Empress Dental offers dental implant solutions for patients with missing teeth, with both titanium and ceramic (white) implant options available. Ceramic implants are an excellent choice for patients who prefer a metal-free solution or who have sensitivities to titanium. The use of 3D digital scanning for implant planning ensures accurate positioning and predictable outcomes. Treatment is tailored to each patient's needs and budget, with a thorough consultation process before any surgical work begins.

Clear Aligner Orthodontics

For patients seeking straighter teeth without traditional metal braces, Empress Dental provides Invisalign clear aligner therapy. The clinic uses 3D intraoral scanning to communicate precisely with the Invisalign lab, allowing patients to receive their aligner series quickly and to visualise their expected treatment outcome before committing to treatment. Clear aligners are removable, virtually invisible, and comfortable — making them particularly popular with adult patients and teenagers alike.

Aesthetic Dentistry and Veneers

For patients who are unhappy with the colour, shape, or spacing of their teeth, Empress Dental offers dental veneers and other cosmetic restorative options. Veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth, correcting discolouration, chips, minor misalignment, and gaps with natural-looking, long-lasting results. The clinic's aesthetic approach is grounded in individual patient consultation to ensure outcomes that look genuine rather than artificial.

General and Paediatric Dentistry

Routine care — check-ups, fillings, extractions, and professional cleaning — forms the foundation of Empress Dental's service offering. The clinic is particularly noted for its approach to children: Dr. Jozef's patience and gentleness make dental visits a positive experience for young patients, helping to build the kind of early relationship with dental care that sets children up for good oral health throughout their lives.

A Boutique, Patient-Centred Practice

Empress Dental's ethos is built around individual attention. Every patient receives a personalised treatment plan developed in genuine dialogue with Dr. Jozef, with clear explanations of all options and expected outcomes. The clinic uses high-quality materials and up-to-date techniques throughout. The combination of technical precision and human warmth is the hallmark that patients return for year after year.

Why Empress Dental for Dental Tourism?

Bulgaria offers dental treatments at 50–70% below Western European prices, and Empress Dental's combination of implant expertise, Invisalign accreditation, cosmetic dentistry, and a personally attentive lead dentist makes it a strong choice for international visitors. The Manastirski Livadi location in south-west Sofia is well connected by public transport and accessible from Sofia Airport. For patients seeking a smaller, boutique practice where they will be remembered and cared for as individuals — rather than managed as numbers — Empress Dental delivers exactly that.

I have had serious dental problems all my life and a huge fear of the dentist's chair. I went to Dr. Theodora Joseph for the first time 4 years ago and since then I have not even thought about another dentist. I had a complete treatment with her, including placing implants, and the results are great! I have not had any problems since then. She is very attentive and patient, works precisely, a true professional. The office is clean, pleasant, the equipment is modern. I highly recommend her!

I made an appointment with the dentist for a preventative dental cleaning. Typically, during this procedure at other clinics, they tell me if there are any problems and whether additional treatment is needed. I assume this is in the clinic's best interest, to win over their clients and perhaps upsell them another service. At this office, they told me it was an additional service, costing 30 euros, and recommended after a panoramic X-ray, which costs 20 euros. Ultimately, I declined the pre-cleaning and only had the cleaning, which cost 110 euros. The cleaning, by the way, was so-so. First, they used an ultrasound, then a baking soda solution, but they didn't polish my teeth, leaving an unpleasant, rough coating on my teeth. Would I go there again? 100% no. I'm giving it a 2* only because they saw me fairly quickly.

Clinic response ():

Response from the owner 2 months agoEvgenia, you called and we told you the price of tartar removal is 110 euros, in our clinic the examination is charged separately 30 euros from the manipulations and the panoramic photo costs 20 euros, these are not procedures included in tartar removal, they are paid separately. We informed you about all this in advance. The clinic does not have baking soda, as you write, for polishing and removing stains and bacterial plaque we use Air-Flow classic powder Ems, neutral taste, because there are patients with allergies. In the clinic, when cleaning tartar, we do not use polishing brushes, pastes and erasers on the tooth enamel, because they are abrasive and can damage it. All this is achieved with the Air Flow system, in the clinic we have an EMS system. Thank you for your opinion, if you have any questions, we are at your disposal.

I went to see Dr. Theodora Joseph on the recommendation of the taxi driver, whose taxi I got into right after the previous dentist, whom I… well… bit (clogs). The driver listened to me and said: “The doctor is calm, she will put up with you, don’t be afraid, and she will do the job for you!” .........And he was right! The doctor and her assistant turned out to be super nice, calm and patient. Dr. Joseph explained everything to me, talked to me and let me catch my breath — no matter how many “gurgling” sounds I made (I couldn’t even answer the question “Does it hurt?” adequately because of fear). Thanks to this, we both had the opportunity to survive my first tooth decay! Actually, there were two, but for her this was no problem. Here you have a person who is not only proficient in dentistry, but also in pacifying wild animals! It also made me not afraid of my fear and not feel guilty about it. And most importantly, I didn't get bitten! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, DoctorKi! I wish you not to be a patient anywhere! Be healthy and cheerful!
