Dr Pedram Negahban is a Principal Dentist at Implant & Perio Clinic in Marylebone, London, near Harley Street, where he works alongside his wife, Dr Sanaz Tehrani.
Born in Iran and educated in Germany, Dr Negahban graduated as a dentist from RWTH Aachen University in 2003. Fluent in English, German and Persian (Farsi), he has been caring for patients for more than 23 years.
Following graduation, he pursued extensive postgraduate education and was awarded a Diploma in Implantology. Over the course of his career, he has developed a particular interest in implant dentistry, restorative dentistry and complex treatment planning, dedicating much of his professional life to helping patients restore function, comfort and confidence.
Patients often meet Dr Negahban when they are facing significant decisions about their oral health. Some have failing teeth, some have been told they need extensive treatment, and others are simply unsure which option is right for them.
What many patients notice very quickly is that he takes his time.
For Dr Negahban, one of the most important parts of dentistry happens before any treatment begins. Reviewing scans, studying records, considering different options and carefully planning treatment are not tasks to be rushed. He believes that thoughtful planning is often the difference between a good result and a successful result that continues to serve a patient well for many years.
One of the qualities patients frequently comment on is his calm and measured approach. He believes that good dentistry is not about doing more treatment. It is about making the right decisions. Sometimes that means proceeding with treatment. Sometimes it means preserving what is already there. Sometimes it means waiting.
Over the years, he has helped patients with everything from replacing a single missing tooth to more complex implant and full-mouth rehabilitation cases. While he enjoys the technical aspects of dentistry, what continues to motivate him is finding the most appropriate long-term solution for each individual patient.
Even after more than two decades in practice, he remains committed to continuing education and professional development. He believes that experience is invaluable, but that good clinicians never stop learning.
Together with Dr Sanaz Tehrani, he has helped shape Implant & Perio Clinic around a philosophy of careful diagnosis, honest advice and treatment designed to serve patients well into the future.
What motivates Dr Negahban most is helping patients regain comfort, confidence and quality of life while knowing that the decisions made today will continue to benefit them many years from now.
His philosophy is simple:
The right treatment is not always the most complex treatment. It is the treatment that is right for the individual patient.
Dr Federico Tinti is a Specialist Periodontist at Implant & Perio Clinic in Marylebone, London, near Harley Street.
Originally from Italy, Dr Tinti qualified as a dentist in 1998 and has dedicated more than 25 years of his professional career to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. Following graduation, he pursued postgraduate training in periodontology in both New York and London before completing a Master of Science in Periodontology. He later joined the GDC Specialist Register in Periodontology and has since focused his clinical practice on helping patients preserve their teeth and maintain long-term oral health.
Patients are often referred to Dr Tinti when they are experiencing bleeding gums, gum recession, loose teeth or advanced periodontal disease. Others seek his opinion because they have been told they may lose teeth and want to understand whether there are alternatives.
For Dr Tinti, periodontics is about much more than treating gums. It is about preserving the biological foundations that support every tooth, every restoration and every smile. He believes that healthy gums are the foundation of successful dentistry and that preserving natural teeth whenever possible should always be a priority.
One of the aspects of periodontology he finds most rewarding is that treatment can often help patients keep their teeth healthy and functional for many years longer than they expected. Through careful diagnosis, patient education and long-term maintenance, many conditions that were once considered inevitable can be stabilised and successfully managed.
Patients frequently comment on his calm and thoughtful approach. He believes that understanding why a condition has developed is just as important as treating it. Taking the time to explain findings, answer questions and involve patients in decisions about their care is an important part of his philosophy.
Throughout his career, Dr Tinti has remained committed to continuing education and evidence-based practice. He believes that successful periodontal care is built on a combination of scientific knowledge, clinical experience and a long-term partnership between clinician and patient.
At Implant & Perio Clinic, he works closely with Dr Sanaz Tehrani and Dr Pedram Negahban as part of a multidisciplinary team, helping patients achieve and maintain healthy foundations for both natural teeth and dental implants.
What continues to motivate Dr Tinti is helping patients preserve their teeth, comfort and confidence for as long as possible. He believes that some of the most valuable dentistry is not replacing teeth, but preventing the need for replacement in the first place.
His philosophy is simple:
Healthy gums are not separate from good dentistry. They are the foundation of it.
Dr Sanaz Tehrani is a Principal Dentist at Implant & Perio Clinic in Marylebone, London, near Harley Street, where she works alongside her husband, Dr Pedram Negahban.
Born in Iran and educated in Germany, Dr Tehrani graduated as a dentist from RWTH Aachen University in 2004. Fluent in English, German and Persian (Farsi), she has been caring for patients for more than 22 years and has continued to pursue postgraduate education throughout her career.
Over the years, she has developed particular interests in Invisalign, aesthetic dentistry, tooth whitening and minimally invasive treatments. She enjoys helping patients improve their smiles in ways that feel natural, appropriate and tailored to the individual, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Despite advances in dentistry, one belief has remained constant throughout her career: good dentistry begins with listening.
Many patients arrive feeling anxious, embarrassed or worried about being judged. Others have not seen a dentist for years and are unsure what to expect. Creating a calm and welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions is something she considers just as important as the dentistry itself.
Whether a patient is attending for a routine examination, considering Invisalign, composite bonding, whitening or more complex treatment, her aim is always the same: to help people understand their options and make decisions they feel comfortable with.
Dr Tehrani particularly enjoys building long-term relationships with patients and their families. One of the greatest privileges of practising dentistry for more than two decades has been caring for patients over many years and, increasingly, welcoming their children and families into the practice as well.
Together with Dr Pedram Negahban, she has helped shape Implant & Perio Clinic around a simple belief: that patients should never feel rushed, judged or pressured. Instead, they should feel listened to, respected and cared for.
What continues to motivate her after more than 22 years in dentistry is not only the clinical side of the profession, but the people. Every patient has a story. Taking the time to understand that story has always been one of the most rewarding parts of dentistry.
Her philosophy remains simple:
Treat people the way you would hope a member of your own family would be treated.
