A Foundation in Advanced Surgical Training
After earning his dental degree in 2008, Dr. Mehdi completed advanced hospital-based postgraduate training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2014.
His training encompassed facial trauma, oral pathology, reconstructive surgery, cleft lip and palate care, and complex craniofacial procedures. Working in multidisciplinary hospital environments, he gained extensive experience alongside plastic and reconstructive surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and other medical specialists.
This broad surgical foundation continues to influence his approach to facial anatomy, tissue management, aesthetics, and complex implant rehabilitation.
Dr. Mehdi is registered to practise as a general dentist in Canada, where his clinical practice focuses extensively on oral surgery and advanced implant dentistry.
Advanced Implant Dentistry & Surgical Care
Dr. Mehdi's clinical expertise spans everything from wisdom tooth surgery and single-tooth implants to complex bone reconstruction and full-arch implant rehabilitation.
His practice includes immediate implant placement, advanced bone and soft-tissue grafting, sinus augmentation, and All-on-X full-arch rehabilitation, including Teeth-in-a-Day treatment for suitable patients.
For individuals with severe bone loss or challenging anatomy, he also provides advanced solutions including zygomatic and pterygoid implants, as well as patient-specific subperiosteal implants—highly customized approaches to implant reconstruction offered by a limited number of clinicians in Canada.
By integrating CBCT imaging, digital treatment planning, guided and navigated surgery, and customized 3D workflows, Dr. Mehdi develops individualized treatment strategies designed around each patient's anatomy, functional needs, and long-term goals.
Treating the Person, Not Just the Teeth
Dr. Mehdi believes oral health is closely connected to overall health and wellbeing.
His approach extends beyond the surgical procedure to consider factors such as nutrition, systemic health, lifestyle, and the body's capacity for healing. Where appropriate, he incorporates nutritional guidance, assessment of vitamin deficiencies, evidence-informed adjunctive therapies, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals to support recovery and long-term outcomes.
He also understands that dental treatment can be deeply personal, particularly for patients experiencing dental anxiety, extensive tooth loss, or previous treatment difficulties.
By listening carefully, explaining options clearly, and involving patients in their treatment decisions, he strives to create an experience grounded in compassion, transparency, and trust.
Compassion Beyond the Clinic
Some of Dr. Mehdi's most meaningful professional experiences have involved caring for children affected by cleft lip and palate and other craniofacial conditions.
These experiences reinforced his belief that healthcare can transform far more than physical appearance, influencing a child's confidence, development, and opportunities throughout life.
Throughout his career, he has supported charitable initiatives benefiting children and underserved communities, including SOS Children's Villages, children's healthcare initiatives in British Columbia, and efforts to improve access to oral healthcare for Indigenous communities.
For Dr. Mehdi, giving back remains an important expression of the responsibility that comes with a career in healthcare.
Education, Mentorship & Lifelong Learning
Dr. Mehdi is the founder of Clinical Catalyst, an educational platform dedicated to advancing implant dentistry through continuing education, mentorship, and collaborative learning.
He regularly lectures, mentors fellow dentists, and collaborates with colleagues on complex surgical cases, sharing knowledge and helping strengthen clinical standards.
His commitment to professional development also includes executive education at Harvard University in healthcare leadership, alongside ongoing advanced training in implant reconstruction, digital surgery, and emerging technologies.
