Meet Dimitre Bistrev, a visionary dental technician whose expertise and innovation have shaped the contours of modern dental technology. As a proud second-generation dental technician, Dimitre’s journey began in the historic city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, where he graduated in 1987 with a passion for dental craftsmanship passed down through his family.

In pursuit of excellence, Dimitre ventured to Vienna, Austria, in 1988, honing his skills under the tutelage of master technician Rudolph Muller. His quest for knowledge then led him to Windsor, Canada, in 1989, where he collaborated with some of Ontario’s finest dental technicians. It was here that Dimitre contributed to the pioneering development of one of the first CAD/CAM systems, Procera by Nobel Biocare, revolutionizing dental restorations.

1995 marked a milestone for Dimitre as he established his first dental laboratory in Canada, setting new standards in dental technology. A decade later, Dimitre returned to his roots in Bulgaria, opening his second dental laboratory in Sofia. His commitment to innovation continued as he introduced CAPTEK technology to Bulgaria, earning his laboratory five prestigious Townie awards. Bistrev Group Dental laboratory was the first to bring CAD/CAM systems to this part of the world by introducing Procera systems to Bulgaria. Dimitre believed in the future of this modern technology and worked tirelessly to bring it to the modern market.

Dimitre’s experience extends beyond the laboratory; he is a seasoned lecturer, sharing his knowledge at various dental venues across Europe. Now, after two decades, Dimitre is set to launch a new full-service dental clinic, seamlessly integrated with his dental laboratory, in the vibrant heart of Sofia. This clinic will offer a comprehensive suite of services, including oral implantology, endodontology, periodontology, surgery, pediatrics, prophylaxis, and an extensive range of other dental services and products. Moreover, the clinic aspires to be a center of learning, offering courses and educational content to advance the field of dentistry.
