Splendent Dental Clinic is an aesthetic dental medicine and implantology practice in Sofia, Bulgaria, located at ul. Odrin 102. The clinic is built around the principle that a healthy, beautiful smile is achievable for every patient, and it combines a comprehensive range of dental and facial aesthetic services under one roof. Splendent operates by appointment only, Monday through Thursday from 09:00 to 19:00 and on Fridays from 09:00 to 17:00, with free parking available in reserved spots directly associated with the clinic.
The Team
The clinic is led by two principal dentists whose names appear consistently in patient reviews: Dr. Velina Nankova and Dr. Miroslav Trendafilov. Patient feedback repeatedly highlights the team's combination of high clinical standards and warm, attentive communication. Patients describe treatment plans that span several months being made into a pleasant experience through the team's professionalism and approachability. Families have entrusted the clinic with the dental care of multiple generations, including young children, pointing to the team's ability to manage anxious or first-time patients with patience and a calm atmosphere. The wider team of assistants is also praised for making patients feel comfortable from the moment they arrive.
Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dentistry is a core focus at Splendent. The clinic offers teeth whitening, dental veneers, and bonding (composite resin restoration of shape, colour, or minor defects without drilling) as its primary cosmetic treatments. Whitening uses professional-strength peroxide gels administered under clinical supervision to achieve results significantly beyond what home kits can deliver. Veneers, fabricated from thin porcelain or composite, are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to correct discolouration, chips, mild crowding, or gaps, producing a uniform and polished appearance. Bonding is a fast, conservative option for minor aesthetic corrections that can often be completed in a single appointment.
Restorative Dentistry
Photopolymer composite fillings are the primary restorative method at Splendent. Modern composite materials bond chemically to the tooth structure, allowing the dentist to remove only the infected or damaged portion while conserving healthy enamel and dentine. The procedure is minimally invasive and produces a tooth-coloured result that matches the surrounding dentition closely. The clinic treats the full spectrum of caries severity, from small initial lesions that can be arrested with minimal intervention to more extensive decay requiring larger composite restorations.
Endodontics
Endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) addresses infection or irreversible inflammation of the dental pulp. The procedure involves removing the pulp tissue, mechanically shaping and chemically disinfecting the root canal system, and then sealing it to prevent reinfection. Successfully treated teeth can remain functional for many years and serve as the foundation for crown or bridge restorations. Splendent's endodontic work allows patients to keep teeth that would otherwise require extraction, preserving natural tooth roots and avoiding the cost and complexity of implant replacement.
Prosthetic Dentistry
Dental prosthetics at Splendent covers both fixed and removable restorations. Fixed options include crowns, which cap individual damaged or structurally compromised teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance, and dental bridges, which replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth. Removable prosthetics provide a cost-effective solution for patients with multiple missing teeth who are not immediate candidates for implant-supported restorations. The clinic works with quality dental materials to ensure restorations are durable, well-fitting, and aesthetically satisfying.
Implantology
Dental implants at Splendent are used to replace missing teeth with titanium root substitutes that integrate with the jawbone and support crowns, bridges, or full-arch prostheses. Implants are the closest modern dentistry can come to replicating the function and feel of a natural tooth root, preventing the bone resorption that occurs after tooth loss and providing a stable, long-lasting foundation for prosthetic teeth. The clinic handles single implant cases and multi-tooth restorations, including cases requiring bone management to ensure sufficient support for the implant.
Oral Surgery
The oral surgery service covers the most commonly required interventions: tooth extractions, surgical removal of impacted and semi-impacted wisdom teeth (which are lodged in the bone and cannot erupt normally), and removal of dental and jaw cysts, which can cause silent bone destruction if left untreated. All surgical procedures at Splendent are performed under local anaesthesia with a focus on minimising post-operative discomfort and providing clear aftercare instructions.
Periodontology
Periodontology addresses the two main diseases of the supporting structures of the teeth: gingivitis, an inflammatory condition of the gums that is reversible with professional cleaning and improved home hygiene, and periodontitis, a more advanced bacterial infection that destroys the bone and ligament anchoring teeth to the jaw. Regular professional cleaning to remove plaque and calculus is the first line of prevention and treatment. For established periodontitis the clinic performs deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and, where necessary, surgical periodontal procedures to access deeper deposits and regenerate lost supporting tissue.
Orthodontics
The orthodontic service corrects dental and jaw irregularities using fixed braces and removable orthodontic appliances including aligners and retainers. Fixed appliances apply continuous controlled forces to move teeth precisely and are the standard approach for complex malocclusions. Removable aligners are a discreet alternative for less severe cases, particularly appealing to adult patients who prefer not to wear visible metallic brackets. Orthodontic treatment at Splendent improves both bite function and the aesthetic arrangement of teeth, and is often coordinated with other dental work as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Paediatric Dentistry
Children's dentistry at Splendent starts from the eruption of the first primary teeth, reflecting the understanding that establishing healthy oral habits in childhood has long-term benefits for adult dental health. The team's approach with younger patients is notably calm and reassuring; patient reviews describe children attending without fear or anxiety, which is a strong indicator of a practice that handles paediatric appointments with appropriate skill and care. Services include monitoring of primary tooth development, preventive treatments such as fissure sealing and fluoride application, and treatment of childhood caries.
Facial Aesthetics
Splendent extends its aesthetic offering beyond the teeth to include facial aesthetic medicine. Skin treatments complement smile transformations by addressing the perioral area and facial volume, helping patients achieve a balanced, refreshed appearance overall. The clinic's positioning as an aesthetic centre means patients can address smile and skin goals in a single location under coordinated care.
