About us
Award Winning Specialist Dentists
Hi, I’m Bizhan.
I am a registered specialist in oral surgery and I qualified from Barts and The London University in 2008. I divide my time between working at Guy’s Hospital in London and in private practice providing surgical and implant treatment. I am also an honorary clinical lecturer for the Master’s programme in Dental Implantology at Bristol University.
I have extensive experience and qualifications and have a Master’s degree in dental implantology with distinction. I have also completed an Advanced Surgical Master Curriculum in Regenerative Implant Dentistry with internationally renowned surgeon Professor Istvan Urban, and I use the latest evidence based techniques, equipment and materials for the best results possible. My training is not limited to the surgical field, but also includes aesthetic dentistry, sedation, and clinical hypnotherapy.
I also love teaching and I do this as part of my role at Guy’s Hospital in oral surgery to undergraduate and postgraduate dentists, and I also teach and mentor for the Dental Implantology MSc at Bristol University as well as for colleagues in other practices wanting to learn more about dental implants. I am active in research, having published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. I have presented some of these at national and international conferences, for which I once won an award for in the US.
Currently I am a co-investigator and oral surgeon for a large Clinical Trial at Guy’s Hospital, researching the potential use of a new sedative drug in dentistry. This is a first of its kind research taking place in the world.
I love what I do and am known for being a particularly calm and non-stressy person. And along with a specific attention to being gentle, I think I am very good at putting all my patients at ease and building trust with each other quickly.
As much as I love my work, I think a balanced life is actually essential for working to your full potential, and I love being a dad and spending time with my family. I am also a bit of a geek and love anything to do with tech. When I am not busy with everything else, I love playing the piano.

Hi, I’m Linda.
I am a registered specialist in oral surgery and I qualified from Barts and The London University in 2007. I divide my time between working at Guy’s Hospital in London and in private practice providing surgical and implant treatment.
I have a Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons, with considerable experience having worked in some of the busiest Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Oral Surgery units in London. I have trained under some of the most recognised and respected consultants in these fields, whom I continue to work alongside of on a part-time basis. At Guy’s Hospital, where I have worked for over 15 years, I also teach undergraduate and postgraduate dentists in oral surgery, and I have been a tutor for the Royal College of Surgeons Certificate in Oral Surgery programme. I also sit on the interview panel for Dental Core Trainees applying for hospital positions in London. I am active in governance and research, having published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. I have presented some of these at national and international conferences, for which I have won awards on more than one occasion.
I have a particularly keen eye for attention to detail and will spare no expense in providing the absolute best care for my patients. I was actually awarded a prize in the dental directorate at Guy’s Hospital titled ‘Above and Beyond’ – for well, going above and beyond in my work as voted by my peers. I am known to be particularly good with nervous patients – I know it can be scary coming to the dentist for any reason, let alone for a surgical procedure. I am down to earth and I look after my patients like my own family and will do everything I can to put them at ease. I am also highly experienced in providing sedation for patients if needed.
I love spending time with my family and seeing my two sons grow and teaching them everything I know. They really keep me on my toes! I also love painting and sculpting whenever I can.
