Hi, my name is Rahim and I am the co-principal dentist at Bramingham Dental Clinic. I took over the running of this practice back in 2003 together with my wife Mezmin.
​
After qualifying from Guy's Hospital in 1998, I entered general practice where I found my true vocation in life and have remained ever since. I have always found my job to be truly rewarding in many ways from looking after my patients with a view to prevention on a day-to-day basis to the more involved procedures like smile makeovers.
​
Mezmin and I got married in 2004 and since then have been blessed with 3 beautiful children – all boys (and NO, we are not going to try for a girl!) So you could say the last 13 years have been very eventful – and hectic.
​
I have always wanted to further my knowledge / career so once the children got a little bit older and life became a little more settled, I applied for a Master's Degree at GKT (King's, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals). This is one of the most prestigious post-graduate teaching hospitals in Europe and they receive applicants from all over the world. I was lucky enough to get one of the 30 places available. In December 2010 I passed my master's degree with Distinction!
​
I've always enjoyed improving smiles but have always been concerned about doing unnecessary treatment. This degree has taught me to be able to perform these procedures without damaging the teeth. I have also studied in depth the mechanics of biting and chewing and so can now provide much better, longer lasting restorations in the mouth with much better materials.
​
This has also meant that I really have put the emphasis on prevention with my care and right from our very first visit, I create an individual, bespoke preventative treatment plan for each of my patients. If you would like to take advantage of a much more advanced, comprehensive and modern approach to dental care, then please contact reception and book in a consultation appointment with me.
​
In my spare time I like to keep fit by playing football and going to the gym. And of course spending time with the family.
