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.
