Meet The Burton Dental Team
Dr Rami Youssif
Clinical Director
BDS (Glasgow), RCS, MSc Implantology (Cardiff)
GDC: 243642
Hi my name is Rami. I am the owner and clinical director here at Burton Dental Lodge.
I graduated from Glasgow University, school of dentistry where I gained invaluable knowledge and experience in general and rural dentistry. I was placed in West of Scotland and Highlands where Primary care dentistry was only available and any referral would mean a long commute to the city for the patient. This was the bases and nature of my surgical route as any complications were managed contemporaneously. I later moved on to Edinburgh where I completed my vocational training and had the experience of working in several private settings where I advanced my cosmetic and restorative knowledge. At this point I began to develop a love for the surgical pathway in dentistry and opted for the opportunity to further my studies and experience in the Cardiff school of dentistry where I was exposed to a vast amount of maxillofacial technicalities alongside the highest trained professionals. I was able to further my surgical skills and understanding to be able to handle any complications and advanced procedure around the world of Implantology from sinus lifts, block bone grafts, implant failure and management, full mouth and complex rehabilitation cases to the simple single unit cases. In addition, I was exposed to treat patients under local, conscious and general anaesthetic sedation. Having achieved a postgraduate master of science in Implantology at Cardiff university I decided to move back to my home town of Boston, Lincolnshire to set up a dental practice. Burton Dental Lodge took around 18 months from the moment planning was approved. In the meantime, I gained my International Team of Implantology membership and my Royal College of Surgeon membership where I also advanced my keen interest in facial aesthetics. Burton Dental Lodge is designed to offer a relaxing environment whilst bringing together state of the art equipment along with other medical disciplines,in order to provide the patients with an up to date service.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello, my name is Himanshu.
I am delighted to be part of the team at Burton Dental Lodge.
I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and take pride in providing high-quality care that is both thorough and patient centred. Since graduating, I have continued to enhance my knowledge and skills through postgraduate training, including completing a master’s degree at Cardiff University. This has given me the opportunity to broaden my expertise in restorative & aesthetic dentistry, endodontics (root canal treatment), and preventative care. Over the years, I have worked in a number of private dental practices where I have gained extensive experience in managing a wide range of cases. My focus is always on offering patients the most suitable treatment options—whether that means restoring comfort and function, improving aesthetics, or simply helping to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with my patients and explaining treatments in a clear and approachable way, so that every patient feels comfortable and confident about their dental care.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and spending time with my family.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.

Hello, my name is Maria.
I have been proud to be part of the Burton Dental Lodge team since 2015. I began my journey here as a trainee dental nurse, gaining extensive knowledge and experience in all areas of dentistry, with a particular passion for oral surgery and conscious sedation.
During my time at Burton Dental Lodge, I have been fortunate to see the practice expand within its team members and become a well-established business – I have enjoyed playing a role in that progress. My experience has allowed me to mentor and co-ordinate our dental nurses, supporting them to reach their full potential both during and after their training.
In recent years, I have had the opportunity to expand my skills through further studies in Practice Management, Dental Radiography, and Oral Health Education, which have enhanced my ability to provide the highest level of care and organisation for our patients and team.
As I look toward the next chapter in my career, I aim to progress further into paediatric dentistry, focusing on preventive care, early detection of dental issues, and behaviour management to ensure a positive dental experience for children.
