About Us

Modern dentistry in Sheffield

Situated in Sheffield, we are a friendly independent dental practice committed to providing high standards of dental care to our patients. We focus on listening to the needs of every individual that attends our practice, putting preventative dentistry first. 

Our whole team regularly undertake further training to keep pace with the continually changing world of dentistry.

Offering a high quality of general dentistry, we also offer advanced treatments such as complex restorative work, Invisalign, endodontics, dental implants, smile makeovers, dental hygiene and facial aesthetics. We believe in ‘Minimally invasive dentistry’, a respect for the original tissue of the teeth, and always try to ensure our patients keep as much of their natural tooth structure as possible.

Youssef Mousa (Dentist)

Youssef is a caring dentist who puts his patients first and foremost, involving them in all treatment decisions, ensuring they are happy and relaxed throughout. Graduating from the University of Birmingham in 2019, having been awarded prizes for exemplary communication skills, and services to the students, as well as nominated for an Oral Surgery prize, Youssef has spent many years training in hospitals in the region. He splits his time between general dentistry in practice, and as a Specialty Doctor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, with a particular interest in difficult extractions, complex patients and sedation.

Youssef creates a calm working environment and aims to make every appointment as stress-free as possible for his patients. He loves working with all patients, particularly anxious patients, acknowledging their fears and helping them build confidence and trust along the way. He ensures that the patient voice is heard throughout. He has a particular interest in difficult extractions and minor oral surgery.

Out in the real world Youssef can either be found rambling outdoors, or curled up indoors with a good book. Always with a belly full of food though. If he wasn’t a dentist, he might well have become a baker.
