Dr Riaz Sharif

Dr Riaz Sharif BSc (Hons), DMD, MBA, PGDip is a multi award winning UK cosmetic dentist working across London and the South West. Winner of Best Young Dentist at the Private Dentistry Awards 2025, he is recognised for his expertise in aesthetic and minimally invasive dentistry, combining precision, modern techniques, and genuine patient care.

Riaz’s journey is as remarkable as his dentistry. Born in East London and raised in foster care without knowing his parents, he faced early challenges and instability. Through resilience, determination, and the guidance of a positive mentor, he rebuilt his education and achieved his dream of becoming a dentist. His story is a testament to the belief that where you start does not define where you can go.

With a background in boxing and personal training, Riaz brings discipline, focus, and resilience to his practice. Beyond clinical excellence, he is passionate about giving back, mentoring the next generation of dental professionals, supporting charities, lecturing in prisons and young offender institutions, and sharing his journey through social media and speaking engagements.

Looking ahead, Riaz is preparing to launch Divine Dental in 2026, a luxury private practice reflecting his values of authenticity, resilience, and clinical excellence.
