Dr. Ishtar Mahdi
BDS (NCL) MFDS (GLAS)
Dr Ishtar Mahdi is an aesthetic and sleep medicine dentist, with a focus on holistic, preventative care that treats the whole person, not just their teeth.
She graduated from Newcastle Dental School in 2011 with clinical merit and gained her Faculty of Dental Surgery membership at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow soon after. Her early career across dental and general hospitals gave her a broad clinical foundation and a deep understanding of how oral health connects to overall wellbeing.
Aesthetic & general dentistry:
Dr Mahdi offers a full range of aesthetic and general care, with extensive postgraduate cosmetic training and Invisalign provision since 2018. From whitening and bonding to aligners and veneers, the goal is the same, a healthy smile you feel good about.
Sleep medicine & TMJ disorders:
Dr Mahdi assesses for and treats sleep disordered breathing and jaw pain disorders, predominantly in Harley Street but also at Weston Park Dental. These two areas are more closely linked than most people realise. Snoring, sleep apnoea, jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding often share an underlying cause that goes unaddressed when teeth alone are treated. She finds what is truly driving your symptoms, then offers conservative treatment, working within a multidisciplinary network for complex cases if required.
She sees all patients, including those who feel anxious about dental visits and those who are neurodiverse, in a calm, unhurried environment where people feel genuinely listened to.
