ulitsa "Sv. Sveti Kiril I Metodiy" 42А, Sofia, Bulgaria
NaturaDent is a specialist oral surgery and implantology private practice located in the centre of Sofia, Bulgaria, at ul. Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodiy 42A (postal code 1000). The clinic is led by Dr. Christian (Kristiyan) I. Monev, an oral surgeon and implantologist holding a PhD from the University of Hamburg, making NaturaDent one of the most academically credentialled specialist clinics in Bulgaria. With a 5-star rating across more than 1,875 Google reviews, the clinic consistently ranks among the most highly rated dental practices in Sofia.
Dr. Monev obtained his dental medicine degree at the University of Freiburg, Germany, graduating as one of the most distinguished students in his class. After five years of general dental practice in Hamburg, he pursued specialist training in oral surgery and implantology at Professor Thomas Kreusch's maxillofacial surgery unit at Asklepios Klinik Nord in Hamburg — one of Germany's leading hospital systems. He subsequently completed advanced surgical training at one of the largest private clinics for maxillofacial and plastic surgery in northern Germany, where he was invited to join the team and work alongside world-renowned surgeons Dres. Ibing, Brandes, Wossner and PD Dr. Klatt. Dr. Monev has maintained an active specialist practice and continued postgraduate training for more than 15 years, regularly attending the most current dental conferences across Europe to stay at the cutting edge of surgical and implant technique.
Alongside Dr. Monev, the NaturaDent team includes Dr. Trayko Balabanov and Dr. Mario I. Nikolov, providing multi-practitioner coverage and the ability to coordinate comprehensive treatment plans across disciplines. The clinic also works with a network of English-speaking specialists in all related medical and dental fields in Sofia, enabling seamless referrals and collaborative treatment when cases require input beyond oral surgery and implantology.
NaturaDent's core surgical offering covers the full range of oral surgical procedures, all performed using minimally invasive, procedurally pain-free techniques. Services include abscess drainage, complex and impacted wisdom tooth extraction, periodontal surgery, cyst removal, and minor oral surgical interventions. Emergency surgical cases are also accepted, with the clinic taking calls on weekends and public holidays for urgent situations.
The implantology programme at NaturaDent covers single-tooth implants, multi-unit implant-supported restorations, and full-arch rehabilitation. Advanced surgical procedures including maxillary sinus lift and bone augmentation are performed in-house, enabling implant placement in cases with insufficient bone volume. Dr. Monev's specialist training in both oral surgery and implantology means the surgical and prosthetic phases of implant treatment are managed by the same expert, ensuring continuity and precision throughout the process.
Beyond surgery and implants, NaturaDent offers orthodontics, aesthetic dentistry, professional whitening, endodontics (root canal treatment), prosthetics, periodontology, preventive care, and digital radiography. This breadth means patients can receive a complete individual treatment plan and have the majority of their care coordinated within a single practice, reducing the complexity of treatment across multiple providers.
NaturaDent is one of a small number of Sofia dental practices that operates fully in both English and German, with dedicated service pages in both languages. This positions the clinic as the natural first choice for German and Austrian dental tourists, as well as English-speaking expatriates, international students, and patients from the UK, Ireland, Australia, and the United States. The ability to discuss complex surgical treatment, consent, and aftercare in the patient's own language is a material benefit for any procedure involving oral surgery or implantology.
The clinic is situated at the address ul. Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodiy 42A in Sofia 1000 — the central postcode of the Bulgarian capital, highly accessible by metro, tram, and on foot from major hotels and transport hubs. Consultations run Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00, with emergency availability on weekends and public holidays by phone at +359 884 186 985.
For patients seeking specialist-level oral surgery or complex implantology, NaturaDent is among the most compelling options in southeastern Europe. The combination of a surgeon with genuine German academic and hospital credentials, a verified 5-star patient satisfaction record across nearly 2,000 reviews, central Sofia location, and bilingual (English and German) service is rare anywhere at this price point. Bulgarian implant and surgical fees typically run 50-70% below Western European equivalents, making NaturaDent particularly attractive for patients who have been quoted for sinus lifts, bone grafts, or full-arch reconstructions in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, or the UK.

I thank Dr. Monev for his professional attitude and the excellent work he did. I had extremely complex wisdom teeth that other surgeons refused to take on. Thanks to his professionalism and experience, everything went smoothly, without problems and without pain.

I just finished an implant and crown process with Dr. Monev and his team, and I’m genuinely very happy with the result. This was a complex case that took time, bone healing, gum shaping, temporary crowns, whitening, and finally the permanent crown, and throughout the entire process Dr. Monev was patient, precise, and focused on doing things properly, not rushing anything. The final result looks natural, the gum line is excellent, and the color match is spot on. You can tell he really cares about long-term outcomes and aesthetics, especially with implants. Even when I had questions or small concerns near the end, he was open to discussing them and explaining everything clearly. The clinic is professional, clean, and well organized, and the work itself speaks for itself. Highly recommend Dr. Monev and his team if you want things done carefully and correctly.

I was passing through as a tourist and wanted to have a dislodged inlay fixed. Since I obviously didn't have an appointment, they simply ignored me. Very arrogant.

Response from the owner Edited 8 months agoGood day Mr. Trautz, I am writing to inform you that you have written a review for the wrong practice. Three different practices are registered and operating at our address and in our premises (renting space from us). Only the name "Naturadent" is listed on the door (which is certainly where the confusion arose), but you have ended up at the practice of Dr. Zachary Simov and his practice "Dentix," which has nothing to do with "Naturadent," except that we work in adjacent treatment rooms. Here is a link to his practice and website, where you can submit your complaint to the correct address, or simply search "Dr. Zachary Simov Sofia" on Google. https://dentix.bg/about/ Translated by Google ・ See original (German)

Everyone at the clinic is extremely professional. I had a wisdom tooth extraction with Dr. Monev. I was very worried, but everyone tried to put me at ease. As for the manipulation, everything was explained to me in detail, it went quickly and painlessly.

I found Dr. Monev by chance, based on reviews on the Internet, and I can confirm that his high rating is due to his high professionalism. I have two impacted lower wisdom teeth, located perpendicular to the other teeth, with contact in them. One of them was operated on in 2019 by another team, as a result of which I had a complication - impaired sensitivity of the lingual nerve, which remained a permanent damage. Also, the roots of the tooth were not removed, only the crown. I am extremely pleased that I came across Dr. Monev for the removal of the other impacted wisdom tooth. The operation passed without any complications, with complete preservation of sensitivity of all nerves and also a very short postoperative recovery period - I had unpleasant pain only in the hours after the operation. The next day, the pain was minimal and sporadic. I am also pleased that Dr. Monev recommended that I have my upper wisdom tooth removed - a semi-impacted one, as it was so imperceptible during the operation that I didn't even realize it had happened. And so successfully, with "one bullet, two birds with one stone". My overall impression is quite good - Dr. Monev has a respectful attitude towards the patient, answers questions comprehensively and explains the details, both before and during the medical procedures. In conclusion, I can say that the clinic offers services at a highly professional level.

Dr. Monev removed 2 of my wisdom teeth at once. Their removal was quick and painless. Here's what I mean by quick removal - The upper wisdom tooth was removed in about 5 minutes and the lower one in about 25. The doctor is highly professional, characterized by excellent technical skills. I also appreciate his patient, calm and predisposing attitude. He explained in detail, gave me written instructions for the postoperative period. Regarding the financial side - the initial consultation cost me 130 lv. The management of both wisdom teeth - a total of 1800 lv. Suture removal - 50 lv. I am satisfied with my visits to Naturadent with Dr. Monev and I wish him many more satisfied patients!

Response from the owner a year agoHello, Polina, thank you very much for your trust and kind words! We are glad that we were able to help! Regarding the prices, we need to clarify in order for the information on the subject to be objective: in your case, we are talking about a surgical extraction of wisdom teeth (operation) with high difficulty, not just a classic removal of a wisdom tooth with forceps, hence the relatively high cost of the intervention. The prices for wisdom tooth extraction vary depending on the anatomical features (e.g. crooked roots), their proximity to nerves, blood vessels, sinuses, etc. currently between 600 and 1200 BGN. in the most complex cases. During the examination and consultation, the price in each individual case becomes clear. We wish you a nice evening and remain at your disposal in the future!

I express my immense gratitude to Dr. Monev for his virtuoso work in removing 8 problematic implants! I will be forever grateful to you, Dr. Monev, for the miracle you performed! For me, what you did is not just a perfectly done job, but a true miracle! I visited at least a dozen renowned clinics, two associate professors of maxillofacial surgeons, one of whom was a close family friend… Most of them wrung their hands helplessly and did not undertake to remove the implants, although in some of them the inflammation was visible to the naked eye! Two agreed to perform the intervention, but warned that it would be super aggressive towards the bone. Thus, three years passed in mental and physical torment. The physical pain and irritation at times were such that I would grab the implant crowns with my fingers and move them apart to get momentary relief from the symptoms… However, the mental anguish many times exceeded the physical ones due to the impasse I found myself in and the lack of light in the tunnel! With each subsequent visit to the clinic and refusal to perform an intervention to remove the implants, my despair grew stronger until fate brought me to this great man, a true magician, managing energies and directing them in a favorable, healing direction, Dr. Kristiyan Monev!!!! The implants were mostly removed using a gentle method, by unscrewing with a special instrument, and I did not even want anesthesia and the pain was minimal! Only two of them required surgical intervention, but again combined with the unscrewing instrument, i.e. a very bone-friendly procedure. Four implants were above, on the left, in the sinus area and I was quite worried that one of them would end up there… but everything went so perfectly that it surpassed even my wildest dreams in this regard! Yesterday, the last two implants near the sinuses fell apart, I had no pain after the intervention, nor today! I am very happy and infinitely grateful to this great man and specialist, Dr. Monev! May you be alive and healthy, doctor, together with all your loved ones! May all blessings be with you throughout your life! ❤️
