Dentistry has been my passion for as long as I can remember. It’s a career that has allowed me to combine science, artistry, communication, and care — all things I love — into one incredibly rewarding journey. However, at the heart of everything I do are two very important people — my daughters. They are my biggest motivation, my grounding force, and the reason I strive to live a life full of purpose, learning, and balance. While I wear many professional hats — dentist, educator, mentor, blogger — being a mum is my most cherished role.

I was born and raised in London, and it’s here that I built the foundation of my dental career. After qualifying, I was fortunate to work at King’s College London (GKT), one of the world’s leading dental universities, as a part-time clinical teacher in restorative dentistry. Teaching there sparked a lifelong passion in me — not just for clinical excellence, but for helping others grow.

I went on to found Longwood House Dental Practice, where I practiced and led a team for 18 wonderful years. That practice was my professional home for nearly two decades. I focused on general and cosmetic dentistry, and over time, developed a particular interest in Invisalign, orthodontics, occlusion, implants, and periodontal care. I trained extensively across the UK and abroad — from Harley Street to Paris to Brazil — constantly evolving, learning, and refining my skills. I’ve had the honour of working alongside some of the world’s most talented dentists and technicians, which has shaped the way I approach dentistry to this day.

Learning has never stopped for me — it’s a way of life. I truly believe that the best dentists are the ones who never stop being students.

After selling my practice, I entered a new phase in life. I now work as an associate in a few carefully chosen practices where I can focus on what I love most — complex restorative work, orthodontics, and mentoring younger colleagues.

This new chapter has also given me the time and space to pursue something that’s been on my heart for a long time — sharing what I’ve learned. That’s how Tips by Dr. T. Ahmed came to life.
