About Me

Dr Payvand Menhadji is a Specialist Periodontist and Implant Surgeon practising across London, managing complex periodontal and peri-implant cases referred from across the capital and beyond. Her philosophy is straightforward: preserve nature, respect biology. She aims to regenerate the supporting gum and bone tissues around teeth wherever possible, and when that is not feasible, she draws on her advanced implant training to restore what has been lost; always with an uncompromising respect for biology, function, and aesthetics.

​

Dr Menhadji's clinical expertise spans the full breadth of specialist periodontics: mucogingival surgery including all forms of gum grafting around both teeth and implants, aesthetic and functional crown lengthening, non-surgical therapy, regenerative and resective periodontal surgery, implant placement, and hard and soft tissue augmentation. She is particularly sought after for her work in soft tissue management, where precision, planning, and biological sensitivity are paramount.

 

Dr Menhadji welcomes referrals for:

• Advanced periodontitis and peri-implantitis

• Soft tissue grafting — recession coverage around teeth and implants

• Aesthetic and restorative crown lengthening

• Regenerative and resective periodontal surgery

•  Pre-implant site development, including pontic site development

​

Renowned for her ethical, evidence-based approach, Dr Menhadji places equal weight on clinical outcomes and patient experience. She is especially known for her calm, reassuring manner with anxious patients, and for the close working relationships she builds with referring clinicians — prioritising clear communication, collaborative treatment planning, and genuine continuity of care.

 

Her commitment to excellence has been recognised at a national and international level. She was named a finalist for the Young Best Dentist in the UK Award 2026, one of dentistry's most competitive accolades and has been appointed to the prestigious Geistlich Next Generation Round Table Europe, a pan-European platform that brings together the next generation of leading specialists in regenerative dentistry. 

 

Dr Menhadji holds Associate Fellowship with the Association of Dental Implantology and is an active and well-regarded member of that community. Alongside her clinical work, she lectures nationally and internationally, and has published in leading peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Periodontology.

 

Outside the clinic, she is a keen runner, a dedicated explorer of London's best restaurants, and a passionate traveller with a standing annual pilgrimage to Ibiza. She is a proud mum and, when time allows, still firmly convinced she would have made an excellent DJ.
