Meet The Team

Youssef Mousa (Dentist)

GDC Number: 284747
Special Interest in Oral Surgery

Youssef qualified from the University of Birmingham in 2019. While studying, he was recognised for his outstanding communication skills and his dedication to student services. He even earned a nomination

for the prestigious Oral Surgery Prize – a nod to his passion for complex dental procedures, which continues to shape his work today. Since completing his degree, Youssef has honed his skills further in hospital settings and now splits his time between general dentistry and his role as a Speciality Doctor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He brings his expertise in complex extractions, minor oral surgery, and sedation – ensuring every patient receives top-tier care tailored to their individual needs. Youssef is known for his calm and patient-centered approach, especially with those who might feel nervous about dental visits. His goal is to create a stress-free experience, building trust and keeping patients informed and involved in every step of their treatment journey. When he’s not caring for patients, you’ll find Youssef enjoying the great outdoors with a scenic hike or curled up with a good book. And, if he weren’t a dentist, he might have swapped his instruments for an apron and become a baker – he certainly has a love for all things food!
