About Dr Ahmed El Hadidi

Dr Ahmed El Hadidi brings over 15 years of dental experience and specialist periodontics training to Smile Solutions. His path to specialisation started in Cairo, Egypt, where he first trained as a dentist before moving to Australia in 2010.

After practising in Launceston and Sydney, Ahmed settled in Melbourne in 2016. During his years as a general dentist, he developed a particular interest in periodontics and implant dentistry. This interest grew into a commitment, leading him to pursue specialist training at the University of Melbourne, which he completed in 2020.

Ahmed's research focused on identifying DNA mutations that make some people more susceptible to periodontal disease. This work explores how we might personalise treatment based on individual genetic profiles, applying precision medicine concepts to gum health.

At Smile Solutions, Dr El Hadidi combines this scientific background with practical clinical care. He stays current with research developments while maintaining a patient-focused approach to periodontal treatment and dental implant therapy.
