The Beginning

Dentcof started as a family venture led by Dr. Ioan "Sefu" Cofar and Dr. Irina Cofar, during the post-revolutionary days in 1989, when Romania ushered in a new era after overthrowing the communist regime. Guided by their passion and expertise, our team flourished and evolved, adopting a shared vision dedicated to restoring dental patients to achieve a stable and aesthetically pleasing oral balance—a vision we proudly uphold today.

The team is highly trained and specialises in complex oral rehabilitations that cover the complete spectrum of dental affections. The treatments administered here are designed to address the immediate issues and the underlying causes holistically, ensuring that you undergo the patient journey only once. Presently, Dentcof stands as a globally recognised brand in aesthetic dentistry, renowned for its constant innovation, high-quality standards, and the educational programmes it offers.

I'mperfect

Our dental philosophy consists of paying attention to the finer details and promoting the concept of true, natural dental beauty. We believe that authenticity shines through when we embrace and integrate imperfections and those distinct qualities that genuinely make a smile beautiful. Our natural aesthetics are never about striving for perfection, as they are about honouring the uniqueness that each smile holds. Instead of relentlessly trying to achieve the perfect look, we recognise how identity adds to the unique appeal of every smile. At Dentcof, we want to make our patients ready to embrace their true selves.

"What we need to understand is that aesthetic principles are the same for everyone. So, if we chase "perfection," which is a universal set of rules, we will always end up in a generic zone, with the risk of not identifying with it or even not liking it. [...] Personally, I gave up on the idea of perfection a long time ago, and here I would like to introduce introduce the concept of identity. The art of aesthetics lies in the ability to always preserve a part of the patient's identity, to build a result around the uniqueness of each individual. We keep what is beautiful, unique, and selectively enhance it."

The Big Picture - Visions for 2024

Picture this: a comprehensive collection of cases at the intersection between conventional aesthetic dentistry and the digital world, delivered within a 7kg book divided into three volumes and published in multiple languages by Quintessence of Dental Technology. Its authors Florin Cofar, Eric Van Doreen, Victor Clavijo, Gustavo Giordani, and Venceslav Stankov are great examples of interdisciplinary workflows, planning cases together sometimes continents apart.

The book covers diverse treatments that most times are a mix of 3 if not 4 disciplines, from fixed prosthetics, to anterior implants and periodontics, orthodontic treatments, and of course aesthetics. The volumes contain both traditional and new treatment protocols, explaining in great detail how easy and hard procedures go hand in hand with the help of modern technology. The Big Picture stands as a comprehensive guide on how to turn complexity into simplicity and execution into a systematic approach that results in predictability.

Masterclass - A Pragmatic Approach to Education in Digital Dentistry

We strongly believe that education never stops. Since 2012, Dentcof has been organising recurrent courses for dental specialists, efficiently structuring the treatment methods developed by our team in integrated treatments. Over 1500 participants from 96 countries have taken part in our educational programs, leading us to launch Masterclass in 2023 - an online educational platform accessible to any specialist anywhere in the world, one click away.

Masterclass comprises extensive courses that cover the entire treatment process, from diagnosis, digital planning, to the step-by-step execution of interventions in complex dental cases. Our experts Florin Cofar, Adrian Argint, Ioana Popp, Gustavo and Marcelo Giordani, and Lucian Ciu share their knowledge in the most concrete and easy to understand educational material to date.
