Philosophy
Her treatment philosophy is clear: preserve nature and respect biology. She strives to regenerate the supporting gum and bone tissues around teeth wherever possible, and when this is not feasible, she draws on her advanced training in implant dentistry to replace them — always with respect for biology, function, and aesthetics.
At SW1, Dr Menhadji manages complex periodontal and peri-implant cases referred from across London and beyond. Her expertise lies in mucogingival surgery, including all types of gum grafting around teeth and implants, as well as aesthetic and functional crown lengthening. She also routinely carries out non-surgical therapy, regenerative and resective periodontal surgery, implant placement, and hard and soft tissue augmentation.
Renowned for her ethical, biologically driven, and evidence-based approach, Dr Menhadji places great emphasis on patient comfort, function, and aesthetics. She is known for her calm and reassuring manner, particularly with anxious patients, and works closely with referring clinicians to ensure open communication, clear treatment planning, and continuity of care.
