Vahé provides specialist care across the breadth of oral surgery, with an approach grounded in experience, careful judgement and respect for each patient’s concerns.
He is dual qualified, having gained a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Birmingham and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from King’s College London.
Known for his calm and gentle manner, Vahé recognises that many patients are naturally anxious about treatment involving the mouth. Every consultation is unhurried, with time to understand individual needs and explain the available options clearly.
Treatment may be provided under local anaesthetic, intravenous sedation or general anaesthetic, where clinically appropriate, in carefully selected outpatient or inpatient settings.
Alongside his surgical work, Vahé has a special interest in Oral Medicine, supporting the diagnosis and management of a broad range of oral conditions.
Vahé is also committed to dental education and professional development. He designs and delivers CPD courses for dentists and Oral Surgeons, including hands-on surgical training and clinical skills programmes at national and international levels.
As Dental Core Training Programme Director for the East of England, he oversees postgraduate education, recruitment and trainee development. This work helps ensure that his clinical practice remains evidence-based and aligned with developments in Oral Surgery.
Through his involvement in ARCP panels, national recruitment and journal reviewing, Vahé also contributes to maintaining standards and shaping the future of dental education.
Outside work, Vahé enjoys cooking for his wife and three sons, walking his four dogs, keeping up with his tortoise and unwinding at the cinema.
