About

Dr Ishtar Mahdi BDS (NCL) MFDS (GLAS)

I am cosmetic and restorative dentist with a keen interest in a holistic and preventative approach to dental health.

I graduated from Newcastle Dental School in 2011 with clinical merit and went on to complete a Postgraduate Diploma to become a Member of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons, Glasgow in 2012. I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to my day to day work. With experience in head and neck surgery, as well as all dental specialties, I spent the early years of my career working in dental and general hospitals before transitioning to general practice.

I have completed several postgraduate courses in cosmetic dentistry and have been a qualified Invisalign provider since 2018, delivering successful clear aligner treatments since.

Passionate about aesthetic dentistry, I particularly enjoy smile design, composite bonding, clear aligners, crown work, and creating natural-looking white fillings.

More recently my scope of practice has expanded to include Dental Sleep Medicine and management of temporomandibular joint disorders. This allows me to understand, diagnose and treat sleep related disorders and jaw joint pain which compliments my holistic approach to dentistry.

My goal is to offer a calm and welcoming environment, where I can treat patients holistically using minimally invasive, aesthetic, and preventative approaches.
