Dr Israr Razaq
Principal Dentist
GDC Number : 193472
Qualification BDS Lond 2010, MJDF RCS Eng
I am a passionate dentist and my aims are to provide excellence in dental care, which is painless and long-lasting.
Over the years I have been lucky to have built a relationship with some wonderful patients that travel from afar to come and see me. I have been shortlisted as a Best Young Dentist Finalist in the Dentistry Awards 2018 and was awarded Best Dental Treatment Provider in Lincolnshire 2019.
I grew up in Peterborough and then studied at Kings College London (recently ranked best in the world for dentistry). I am married and live locally with my wife who is a GP in the NHS.
Over the years I have gained experience working in the West End of London, in Leed Teaching Hospital as a house officer and in cosmetic practices. I have also studied with some of the leaders of dentistry to build my skills in cosmetic dentistry, implant surgery, orthodontics and facial aesthetics. I have been published in a European Journal.
I enjoy teaching dentists and mentoring. In the past, I have run study clubs and am currently a trainer for newly qualified dentists at the practice.
In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, hiking and sports. I also am passionate about charity work and have set up the Empower and Evolve charity which helps people in the UK and abroad.

Samira Bouguedoura
Dentist/Oral Surgeon
I qualified as a general dentist in Algeria in 1996 and then trained in oral surgery for four years. Afterwards, I moved to France to study dental implants and oral biology for two years before moving to the UK to work for the NHS in November 2004. I have always been passionate about oral surgery and worked within the oral pathology department as well as the maxillo-facial emergency department in Algeria. Whilst in France, I was teaching oral surgery to first-year postgraduate students in the University of Odontology (Montpellier). Since moving to the UK and registering as an NHS dentist in 2004, I have always strived to achieve the best for my patients and provide them with excellent care. I have a high standard and quality of work and I am glad to be working in oral surgery once again.
