Overview
Explore Plovdiv: everything from millennia-old ruins, history, culture and crafts to invigorating nightlife, galleries and museums
A European Capital of Culture 2019 and UNESCO World Heritage Center, Plovdiv is Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited city, straddling seven hills just like Rome.
Its ancient romantic town packed with winding cobbled streets, colourful 19th-century house-museums, guesthouses, and Roman, Thracian, Persian and Ottoman traces will bask anyone in a fascinating atmosphere.
Music and art festivals enjoyed at the Roman amphitheatre while sitting on ancient marble seats draw people from anywhere in the world.
Kapana quarter, the city's creative heart, offers a unique place to enjoy a contemporary art scene, galleries, shops, shady cafes and restaurants with history and tradition.
And as if Plovdiv is not enough, spectacular mountains, glacial lakes, ski and snowboarding centres, quiet winemaking villages, sandstone pyramids and spiritual places snooze in the surroundings awaiting to be discovered.

The Dentaround difference
Treatment plan
Can I get my free preliminary treatment plan without a dental X-ray?-+
To plan and tailor your initial treatment plan with cost estimates, your dentist needs at the least a panoramic X-ray of your teeth (made in the last twelve months). If you decide to progress, the next step will be to visit the clinic of your choice for one-to-one consultation and diagnosis. Your dental tourism coordinator will book you in for your initial consultation and plan your visit.
I don’t have an X-ray. Can I still get a treatment plan with cost estimates?-+
Yes! Here at Dentaround, we’ve designed the Meet Your Dentist package for those willing to jump on the plane, meet their dental team of choice and receive an accurate treatment plan from the get-go. We see it as the best way to get to know your dentist and us while receiving your tailored treatment and travel plans. This package includes everything to make an informed decision about your dental treatment abroad. See it here.
Can I speak to the dentist before travelling to Bulgaria?-+
Absolutely, and we highly encourage that. The patient-dentist relationship is at the core of every successful treatment. Should you have any questions regarding your treatment plan, you'll have the chance to chat with your dentist of choice and address any concerns.
Travel
I’m happy with my initial treatment plan. What’s next?-+
If you’ve enquired about your free preliminary treatment plan and you're happy with it, we can move on to the next step – your travel plan. This is where we unfold our skills and expertise. Your dedicated travel coordinator will advise you on the best flying options according to your dental appointment, guide you through the finest accommodation and meal choices, and arrange leisure activities following your request.
Will there be arrangements for transport, hotels and food included in the price of the treatment?-+
We're here to coordinate your journey from start to finish. Our tailor-made packages are all-inclusive, meaning that you won't have to think about anything except your treatment. Transfers, hotel accommodations, food and leisure activities are all included as per your preferences. Learn more about our Services.
Can you book flights for me?-+

We strongly recommend you have a policy covering COVID-19, personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage or personal effects.
Do you arrange in-destination COVID-19 testing?-+

Furthermore, all dental clinics and dental practitioners in Bulgaria are audited yearly and serve according to national accreditation criteria.

Will the dentists speak fluent English?-+
Fluent English is a must-have skill in every partnering clinic. Further, you'll find that some of the practitioners are also fluent in German and Russian. For your absolute clarity and peace of mind, we can always arrange a translator.
How many visits are involved?-+
The number of visits depends on the complexity of your case and planned treatment. You’ll need at least one for veneers, two for a single dental implant and implant-supported dentures and three for All-on-4, All-on-6 or implant-supported bridges.
A consultation at the clinic is necessary before your treatment commences. The one-to-one assessment is free of charge if you decide to proceed with the treatment. Your dentist will inform you of your options, confirm the preliminary plan cost estimates, time scales, healing time and the number of visits.
Many people prefer flying for the consultation and move with the treatment on the same visit (five to eight working days). Alternatively, you can return at a later date to start your treatment.

How are your prices affordable while keeping the treatments top-grade?-+
It's no secret that Bulgaria ranks amongst the countries with the lowest living cost in the European Union. The exchange rates also play a role when it comes to treatment costs. In any case, the affordability of the dental treatment is at no expense to the quality of work or materials.
Guarantees & Aftercare
Will treatments come with a guarantee and aftercare?-+
The guarantee policy is one of the main aspects to consider when choosing a dental clinic abroad. All dentists serving in Bulgaria must have professional liability insurance. In case of any medical error or malpractice, the patient is compensated by insurance. Beyond that, our partnering clinics have a complex guarantee policy with a focus on dental implant aftercare. To learn about each dental clinic guarantee policy for the various dental solutions, head over to its page or drop us a line.
What happens if something goes wrong with my dental treatment?-+
Dental practitioners in Bulgaria must have occupational obligation insurance. The patient is compensated by insurance in case of any error or malpractice.
What can I do if complications occur abroad or back home?-+
Complications are unlikely to happen, but rarely, such arise even if the treatment was on the mark. Should you experience any issues, we encourage you to contact us immediately, and we'll help you find the best solution for your problem.
How often do I need to check up on my dental implants? Can I visit my local dentist?-+
Your new teeth need as much attention and care as your natural teeth. Dentists recommend checkups and cleanings every six months after your initial treatment. Regular visits to the dentist can diagnose an issue early and prevent future complications. You can choose to have your routine examination at your local dentist or visit us here in Bulgaria.
