General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary
Dental Studio Topchieva is a single-dentist private practice in the Gagarin district of Plovdiv, led by Dr. Stanimira Topchieva. The studio focuses on orthodontics as its primary specialty alongside general dentistry, aesthetics, crowns and bridges, endodontics, oral surgery, dental hygiene, and pediatric dentistry. Equipment includes a wireless intraoral scanner and digital X-ray. Operating hours are Mon-Fri 09:00-19:00. The website is exclusively in Bulgarian.

Tsar Boris III Obedinitel 27G, Gagarin) covers general dentistry and orthodontics; Dr. Mirela Topchieva at drtopchieva.com focuses exclusively on orthodontics and Invisalign (address not confirmed).

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: 133911200042 ("DR. STANIMIRA TOPCHIEVA - Individual Practice for Primary Care in Dental Medicine" EOOD — LZIBPH) (LZIBPH searchText='Topchieva' in Cyrillic (no city filter — Plovdiv/56784 filter returned 0, so re-run city-wide). Exact name match to clinic's named doctor/owner. Note: this record's city code (70648) does not match the 56784 code otherwise used for Plovdiv in this dataset; it may be a Plovdiv-district or nearby-settlement EKATTE code rather than a mismatch, but this is flagged for review.)

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no clinic profile on WhatClinic or SuperDoc, and Dental Departures does not cover Bulgaria, so onOtherPlatforms is now false; the datum previously rested on a community article that recommends the clinic. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read the clinic website's markup on 2026-10-01: it carries no Dentist or LocalBusiness structured data, so structured data is recorded as absent; the website address is now shown in the contacts. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-18). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's site (home, services overview, examination, hygiene, team and contact pages, reached as text after the live site did not respond directly to 2026-09-17) and its Google Business Profile. Recorded: implant treatment and prompt care for dental emergencies are both listed on the clinic's own services page; no prices published for any treatment; no CBCT among the listed equipment; named staff photos; an email-based online booking option; hours closing at 19:00 on weekdays. Still unverified: structured data, because the text read used for the site does not preserve script markup, and whether staff speak English or work with foreign patients, since the site is Bulgarian-only with no such statement. |
| 2026-09-10 | Website https://topchieva.bg has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: topchieva.bg (s1) re-verified genuinely dead (ECONNREFUSED; also flagged for review, left as-is there too - no live successor found, no evidence of closure). Re-cited the 5 facts independently corroborated by the already-live lostinplovdiv.com community listing (s2, re-fetched and read directly): dentist name, address, phone, and orthodontics specialization. The other 9 facts sourced solely to s1 (hasWebsite, serviceListPublished, englishVersion, pricesPublished, onFacebook, hasXray, offersSurgery, offersPediatric, clearServiceExplanations) have no live alternative and are left unresolved; s1 remains cited, not pruned. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://topchieva.bg/]: https://topchieva.bg/ (attempt1: Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: topchieva.bg:443, timeout: 10000ms); attempt2 (+30s): Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: topchieva.bg:443, timeout: 10000ms), other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: topchieva.bg returned connection-refused on direct fetch today; the Google Business Profile still lists topchieva.bg as the site (address/phone unchanged) and shows the clinic as open with active recent reviews, so this looks like a possible hosting/access block rather than a confirmed closure — no successor domain found. Captured Google rating 4.9 (56 reviews, previously unset). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: topchieva.bg was unreachable (connection refused on repeated attempts, same hosting range as other affected sites that day). No closure evidence found in search results, but nothing was independently opened to re-confirm contacts or Google reputation, so stored details are left unchanged and operating status is marked unclear. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: LZIBPH clinic registration 133911200042 found under the doctor's own name (exact match), and Dr. Stanimira Topchieva confirmed in BZS (LPK 160001554) — the clinic's earlier note that the BZS register 'requires interactive form submission' was incorrect. |
