Dr Dessislava Popova is a high quality specialist practioneer. I started treatment a couple of years ago after my own dentist said my gum disease needed specialist treatment. Dr Dessislava Popova examined me. After a series of specialist appointments my gum health improved immensely. Confirmed by my own dentist. Dr Dessislava Popova has agreed to keep looking after me and I now see her twice a year to maintain my oral health. I never want to go back to where I was. Attentive and at a fair price ( I pay myself ) I would highly recommend anyone with concerns or simply as preventative treatme…

Started my journey with Octagon about 6 months ago, because I had a terrible smile which made me very insecure and I felt so ugly every time I opened my mouth.

Huge thanks to Dr. Dessi and Natasha for making what I thought would be a very difficult experience so easy. They performed my impacted and infected wisdom tooth surgical extraction with incredible skill and professionalism. From start to finish, they explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable, and carried out the procedure with such precision. I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Truly a fantastic dental team!

I went to the clinic yesterday after calling many clinics regarding my implant. Dr Dessi explained the whole process and the challenges as I had the implant abroad.She gave me full explanation on my gum condition. She was able to brilliantly restore my implant back to the place even though others refused to intervene. I would definitely recommend this place! 10/10, she is an amazing and confident dentist!
