Ortodent is a dental clinic in Sofia's Lozenets district, located at ul. Gorski Patnik 45 with an independent entrance. The practice opened with a mission to offer a different and more humane approach to dental treatment, combining a highly qualified specialist team with a patient-first philosophy. The clinic operates three fully equipped dental chairs and a team of six specialists covering all major disciplines of dental medicine, allowing patients to complete comprehensive, multi-stage treatment plans without needing to travel between different providers.
The Team
Dr. Tsvetelina Uzunova leads the clinic as chief dentist with a specialisation in orthodontics and complex treatment planning. Her role covers the assessment and design of comprehensive treatment sequences that may involve multiple disciplines, ensuring each patient's care is coordinated and progresses logically from initial stabilisation through to final aesthetic or prosthetic outcomes. Dr. Marieta Simeonova focuses on aesthetic restorations, general dental therapy, and orthodontics, contributing both direct restorative work and orthodontic support to the clinic's overall offer. Dr. Yoana Georgieva specialises in prosthetics, general therapy, and orthodontics, handling the fabrication and placement of crowns, bridges, and prosthetic restorations as well as ongoing patient maintenance. Dr. Izel Sadok covers aesthetic restorations, paediatric dentistry, and general therapy, with particular experience in working with younger patients and managing the communication and clinical adaptations that paediatric cases require. Dr. Melissa Kayaji specialises in endodontics, paediatric dentistry, and general therapy, bringing subspecialty root canal expertise to complex or retreatment endodontic cases alongside a dedicated focus on children's dental health.
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a defining strength of the Ortodent team, with both Dr. Uzunova and Dr. Simeonova holding orthodontic qualifications. The clinic offers fixed braces using both traditional metallic and aesthetic ceramic brackets, as well as removable orthodontic appliances including splints and clear aligners. Fixed appliances are the standard of care for complex bite corrections and moderate-to-severe misalignment, while removable and clear aligner options suit adult patients who prefer a more discreet approach for milder cases. Orthodontic assessment at Ortodent includes evaluation of jaw relationship and bite function alongside tooth positioning, ensuring treatment addresses both aesthetic and functional goals.
Aesthetic Dentistry and Restorations
Aesthetic restorations are a core competency of both Dr. Simeonova and Dr. Sadok. Modern composite materials allow the team to rebuild decayed, chipped, or discoloured teeth to a natural-looking result in a single appointment using direct bonding techniques. For more significant aesthetic improvements, the clinic offers porcelain veneers and other indirect restorations fabricated to match the colour and translucency of the surrounding natural teeth. The aesthetic dentistry offer is delivered within a broader smile analysis framework, considering how individual tooth restorations will integrate with the patient's overall smile appearance and facial aesthetics.
Prosthetic Dentistry
Dr. Georgieva's expertise in prosthetics underpins Ortodent's capacity for dental crowns, bridges, and prostheses. Crowns restore individual teeth that have been compromised by decay, fracture, or root canal treatment to their original shape and function. Bridges replace missing teeth by spanning between adjacent natural teeth or implants. Partial and full dentures provide a more accessible prosthetic solution for patients with multiple missing teeth. The integration of prosthetic planning with the orthodontic and restorative services at the clinic means that complex cases involving both bite correction and restorative reconstruction can be managed as a coordinated programme.
Endodontics
Root canal treatment is handled by Dr. Kayaji, who specialises in endodontics alongside paediatric dentistry. Endodontic treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from the root canal system, disinfects and shapes the canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. Successfully treated teeth can be retained indefinitely with appropriate coronal restoration, preserving natural tooth roots and avoiding the cost and complexity of implant replacement. Retreatment of previously failed root canal work is also within the clinic's capability.
Paediatric Dentistry
Both Dr. Sadok and Dr. Kayaji focus on children's dentistry, giving the clinic dedicated paediatric capacity. The team's approach to younger patients combines clinical care with patient-appropriate communication, creating a reassuring environment that reduces anxiety and builds a positive relationship with dental care from an early age. Services for children include preventive examinations, fissure sealants, fluoride treatments, early orthodontic assessment, and restorative treatment of primary and mixed dentition.
Preventive and General Dentistry
Routine examinations, professional scaling and tartar removal, and oral hygiene guidance form the preventive foundation of care at Ortodent. The team places regular preventive appointments at the heart of the patient journey, recognising that early detection and management of developing problems saves time, cost, and tooth structure compared to treating established disease.
Patient Benefits and Loyalty Programme
Ortodent offers a family discount card that covers all family members, making the clinic accessible for household dental care at reduced rates. Monthly promotional offers on specific treatments allow patients to access services at reduced cost. The clinic maintains special corporate arrangements for companies and institutions, and operates a referral programme that rewards patients who introduce new patients to the practice. These incentive structures reflect the clinic's commitment to building long-term patient relationships rather than simply transactional care.
