Greencroft Lodge
A practice that has been part of my story since 2020. Here’s a little about the team, my journey and how to find us in Rowlands Gill.
From foundation dentist to supervisor
I joined Greencroft Lodge in 2020 for my foundation year — my first year in practice after qualifying as a dentist. It’s where I began caring for patients, finding my feet and becoming part of the team.
I’ve been here ever since. Having that continuity means a great deal to me: getting to know people over time and helping them look after their teeth through different stages of life.
Today, alongside my own patient care, I’m an educational supervisor, supporting a newly qualified foundation dentist through their first year. That includes clinical guidance, discussing cases and making time for teaching and reflection.
It feels like coming full circle. I started here as a foundation dentist myself, and now I get to help someone else take those same first steps. It’s a part of my work I’m proud of, and a lovely way to contribute to the practice.

Dental foundation training is part of life at Greencroft. It’s where I trained myself, and where I now help a foundation dentist develop their skills and confidence.
