Saliev Dental Care is a forward-thinking, full-service dental clinic in Sofia, Bulgaria, founded by Dr. Erhan Saliev, an experienced implantologist committed to combining clinical precision with the latest advances in dental technology. The clinic holds a 4.9-star Google rating and operates on a 360-degree care philosophy, covering every aspect of oral health from routine prevention and diagnostics through to complex aesthetic, orthodontic, implant, and surgical treatment -- all in one location.
What distinguishes Saliev Dental Care from many of its peers is its genuine integration of innovation into everyday clinical practice. The team does not simply use modern equipment -- they have built their diagnostic and treatment workflows around emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, and have developed their own branded patient recovery supplements to support outcomes after surgical and implant procedures. This culture of continuous improvement runs through every aspect of the practice.
AI-Powered Diagnostics
One of the most noteworthy features of Saliev Dental Care is its AI-assisted dental diagnostic system. Using artificial intelligence applied to both 2D and 3D radiographic images, the platform is capable of detecting over 65 distinct dental diseases and pathologies -- many of which can be identified at an early stage that would be difficult or impossible to catch with the naked eye alone. Early detection of caries, bone loss, periapical lesions, and other conditions allows the clinical team to intervene sooner, with less invasive treatments and better long-term outcomes. This technology represents a meaningful upgrade in diagnostic accuracy and reflects the clinic's commitment to evidence-based, precision dentistry.
The diagnostic process at Saliev Dental Care follows a structured pathway: comprehensive initial examination and consultation, development of an individualized treatment plan, in-house 2D and 3D X-ray imaging, and multidisciplinary treatment delivery followed by careful attention to recovery. The final outcome integrates health, function, and aesthetics -- each element given equal weight.

Services
Dental Implants: Implantology led by Dr. Saliev covers single tooth implants, multi-implant rehabilitation, and implant-supported prosthetics. Implant planning draws on 3D imaging for accurate anatomical assessment, and recovery is actively supported through the clinic's post-operative nutrition and supplement protocol.
Aesthetic Dentistry: Bonding, porcelain veneers, ceramic and zirconia crowns, and full smile design are offered for patients seeking cosmetic improvements. The aesthetic team focuses on results that look natural and enhance rather than overpower the patient's features.
SMILERS Aligners: The clinic is a certified provider of SMILERS clear aligners, offering a discreet orthodontic solution for adults and teenagers. Saliev Dental Care also provides conventional orthodontic treatment for cases where fixed appliances are the more appropriate clinical choice.
Endodontics and Preventive Dentistry: Root canal treatment and comprehensive preventive care -- including professional cleaning, fluoride application, and oral hygiene coaching -- round out the core clinical offering alongside prosthetics, X-ray diagnostics, and dental surgery.
Proprietary Recovery Supplements
Saliev Dental Care has developed two branded nutritional supplements to support patient recovery after implant, surgical, and other dental procedures. OsteoRecovery+ is formulated to support the body's natural bone healing mechanisms after implant placement, extraction, or bone procedures. RegenerationControl+ is designed to support soft tissue health in the oral cavity, combining Omega-3 fatty acids, turmeric, ginger, boswellia, and vitamins A and E to help manage inflammation and support gum and mucosal recovery. These supplements reflect the clinic's holistic approach: excellent treatment outcomes require excellent post-operative support, and the team takes that responsibility seriously.
Saliev Dental Care works with the Bulgarian National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and welcomes both local patients and international dental tourists seeking advanced, technology-enabled dental care in Sofia.
