Meet the Clapham Team

With over 30 years of experience in dentistry, I have had the privilege of starting and running three successful practices from the ground up. My passion lies in providing precisely engineered solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs. I have a special interest in implants, bespoke crown and bridge options, and removable prosthodontic solutions, always striving for the highest level of function and aesthetics.

I completed a postgraduate diploma at the renowned Eastman Dental Institute and have continued learning and refining my skills ever since. Over the course of my career, I have placed more than 1,000 implants and helped countless patients regain proper chewing and biting function.

In addition to my clinical work, I have been a dental educator for over 20 years, training and encouraging multiple young dentists to develop their skills and confidence.

While I’m not planning to step back anytime soon, I’m proud that my two sons have taken on leadership roles in the practice. It’s a true pleasure to work alongside them and witness their growth, knowing our patients will be in excellent hands for decades to come.

Many of my patients have trusted me for over 30 years. While we may both have a few more grey hairs now, my commitment to precision and excellence remains as strong as ever.

I am dedicated to providing the highest quality dental care to all my patients. I have a special interest in orthodontics, with a particular focus on Invisalign, and I’ve been fortunate to help countless patients achieve their dream smiles. I’m not shy of a challenge and enjoy working with both children and adults who have complex orthodontic needs. My calm and positive nature helps put patients at ease throughout their treatment.

When I’m not busy at work, you’ll usually find me on dad duties or adventuring around with my young daughter. I strive to be a well-rounded individual, and I’m proud to be part of such a great team.

If you’re looking to improve your smile, I’d love to help. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!

Hi, I’m Rahil – a self-proclaimed dental nerd and proud tooth enthusiast.

I’ve always loved dentistry, but what I didn’t expect when I started was how many fascinating people I’d get to meet. One of my favourite parts of the job is chatting with patients—hearing about their careers, school lunches , and holiday dramas.

As a general dentist, I enjoy the variety each day brings. I especially love challenging treatments like root canals and restoring badly broken teeth. I’ve also completed further training in aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, which has helped me plan and deliver larger cases with the end goal in mind—treatments that are built to last and tailored to each individual patient.

I know that for many people, a trip to the dentist can feel like a chore. That’s why I try to make every appointment a small but positive part of their day—something with a personal, family-like touch that offers a sense of comfort and community.

I’m passionate about detail, and my pursuit of excellence is reflected in my strong commitment to ongoing professional development. My patients are always at the forefront of my mind, and I’m dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care.

I have a special interest in using composite materials as part of a minimally invasive approach to dentistry. I’m currently undertaking a postgraduate diploma in periodontics and accept referrals for the management of uncontrolled periodontal disease. With growing evidence linking gum health to overall systemic health—including cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s—I believe healthy gums are the foundation of strong, lasting teeth.

Outside of clinical practice, I enjoy cooking, travelling, and practising yoga.

Hi! My name is Mahad and I am one of the associate dentists at De-ientes Bedford. 

If you’re not one of my regular patients, you may see me for a tricky extraction. I have a special interest in oral surgery and have undergone further training in this area, so please don’t worry—you’re in good hands. I always aim to treat every patient with care and compassion, and I’ll do my best to make your appointment as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

I have a particular interest in completing difficult tooth extractions, which has led me to embark on a Postgraduate Diploma in Oral Surgery, which I am currently completing to enhance my surgical skills further.

In my spare time I enjoy spending quality time with my family, and am an avid cricket fan as well.

With a degree from the University of Birmingham in 2005, I’ve had the privilege of being part of the Deientes team for over 19 years. In that time, I’ve built many meaningful relationships with patients, and I genuinely value the sense of connection that comes with this. It’s always a pleasure when I bump into someone outside the clinic and we share a warm, familiar greeting—never just an awkward hello.

My true passion lies in creating a comfortable and reassuring environment, especially for patients who feel anxious about dental visits. Alongside helping people achieve and maintain their oral health, I have a particular interest in cosmetic tooth alignment, teeth whitening, and facial aesthetic treatments.

Outside the clinic, I enjoy painting, cooking, and spending quality time with my family.
