Meet Rustom & Harbans

Dr. Rustom Moopen and Harbans Moopen are proud healthcare professionals and small business owners who have been serving the community together since taking over the practice in the summer of 2019.

Rustom is a dedicated dentist committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered dental care. He believes in building lasting relationships with his patients and focuses on creating healthy, confident smiles in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Harbans is a licensed optometrist who brings both clinical insight and strategic leadership to the practice. While continuing her professional career in eye care, she has played an integral role in managing and growing the business. From overseeing operations to enhancing the patient experience, her behind-the-scenes leadership has helped shape the practice into what it is today.

Together, they balance healthcare, entrepreneurship, and family life while raising their two children. As providers and parents, they understand the importance of trust, compassion, and personalised care. Their shared commitment is simple: to treat every patient like family and to build a practice rooted in integrity, service, and community.

Dr. Rustom Moopen

Principal Dentist

GDC No. 230571

I am the principal dentist at Panshanger Dental Practice, having graduated in dentistry from Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2012. Since qualifying, I have remained committed to continual professional development, completing extensive postgraduate training to further enhance the care I provide.

I am currently completing an MClinDent in fixed and removable prosthodontics, alongside a PG Cert in implantology and a Diploma in orthodontics. This advanced training allows me to offer a comprehensive range of treatment, from routine dentistry to complex full-mouth rehabilitation, placing implants for missing teeth and comprehensive smile design and restoration.

My clinical interests include implant dentistry, advanced restorative work, and same-day smile makeovers using porcelain veneers or composite bonding. I also provide fixed orthodontics (braces) and clear aligner treatment such as Invisalign, with a focus on creating natural, healthy, and confident smiles tailored to each individual.
I am particularly passionate about digital dentistry and microdentistry, using modern digital workflows and high-magnification operating microscopes to deliver precise, minimally invasive treatment. My aim is always to provide care that is comfortable, personalised, and designed for long-term oral health.

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy reading, cars, and travelling with my wife and two daughters. I love exploring exotic places and discovering new foods along the way.
