Bulgarian dental clinic aims high with state-of-the-art Planmeca equipment

The dental clinic Dr. Stankov is located in the heart of Plovdiv – a city with ancient traditions. Plovdiv honours the past while also looking towards the future, which is why it is set to be the European Capital of Culture in 2019.

The clinic has 25 years of experience in the field of dentistry and has established its place among the city’s dental elite. “One of the key reasons behind our success is our strong dedication to innovation”, says Dr. Maria Panekova, who specialises in restorative dentistry at the clinic. “We have always worked with the best equipment and want to offer our patients the highest level of care.”

Last year, the clinic decided to renew its X-ray centre, which is available to the entire city. “The decision was easy to make, because we needed the best – there was no doubt the Finnish company Planmeca’s X-ray unit was the right choice for us”, states Dr. Ventsy Stankov, successor and principal dentist of the family clinic.

The Planmeca Romexis® software platform further provides a wide range of options for planning and following up cases. The software is one of the few options compatible with Apple products, which is a great advantage to the Dr. Stankov clinic.

Dentistry is developing rapidly in Bulgaria. The increasing number of specialists has led to improved diagnostics. This also demands more from the equipment, as an extremely high and consistent image quality is required. “3D technology is directly related to our daily work, as we perform very specific surgical operations in the maxillofacial region”, Dr. Stankov describes.

The clinic is famous for Dr. Stankov’s achievements in the field of microsurgery, as well as his work under microscopic magnification. This type of highly precise work requires state-of-the-art equipment, such as the Planmeca ProMax® 3D unit currently used at the clinic’s X-ray centre. The unit allows capturing extremely fine details, while also maintaining a low patient dose. Due to the adjustable resolution, it is possible to acquire optimal images in all situations.

“Many of our patients are concerned about radiation, which makes it impossible to ignore the very low patient dose Planmeca has managed to somehow achieve“, Dr. Stankov comments.

“To define ourselves as a modern and innovative clinic, which responds to the dynamically changing dental world and its high requirements, we must have the full trust of our patients”, Dr. Stankov reflects and continues to conclude: “They have no doubts about our Planmeca equipment – it is a real jewel!”
