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."
