Tahmoures Ghassemi, known to our patients as Tham, was born in Iran and moved to Sweden in 1986, graduating from Umea University, Sweden in 1996. He moved to the UK in 1996 and has run and owned several dental surgeries in the south of England for over 27 years.

Tham provides a variety of dental procedures, and he is passionate about composite bonding, full mouth restorations, crown and bridge work and different types of dentures, and he has carried out and treated thousands of cases over the years with great success. Tham firmly believes in dental prevention and minimal invasive dentistry to prolong the life of a patient's dentition. He takes duty of care very seriously and builds up very close relationships with his patients.

Tham thrives in any clinical and administrative challenges that are presented to him. He has the unique ability to be able to recall his patient’s names (and even treatments he performed on them), no matter how many years ago it might have been.

Outside the surgery, Tham has many interests. He especially enjoys fishing, riding motorcycles, and is an avid reader of scientific journals. He is a family man with three children; two currently are studying at university whilst his youngest is still at school.
