Most people don’t look forward to visiting the dentist. I get it. That’s why, at All Saints Green Dental Clinic in Norwich, my team and I work hard to turn dental appointments into positive, even empowering experiences.

My name is Mandana and I’m the Principal Dentist and Educational Supervisor here. I’ve always been fascinated by the blend of science, artistry, and human connection that dentistry offers. Even after decades in practice, I still find it deeply satisfying to help someone smile with confidence.

I first trained in Gothenburg, Sweden, before making Norwich my home in 1995. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for patients in this community, offering both NHS and private dental services. My commitment to learning has been a constant—I hold a Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons and completed my MSc in Implant Dentistry at Leeds University in 2016. This advanced training means I can offer the latest evidence-based solutions for patients who want to restore their smiles.

From 2010 to 2014, I worked at the Royal College of Surgeons, diving into research and dental education, co-authoring papers, and collaborating with colleagues from different specialties. That experience taught me to always ask “why”—so I’m committed to using treatments that are proven to work, not just what’s popular.

Since 2024, I’ve also served as an Educational Supervisor for the East of England. Guiding new dentists keeps me on my toes, and I’m constantly inspired by their curiosity and fresh perspectives. Supporting them as they build their skills and confidence is genuinely rewarding.

I stay connected with the wider profession as an active member of both the Local Dental Committee (LDC) and the British Dental Association (BDA). Being involved in these organisations helps me advocate for high standards and bring the latest thinking back to my patients in Norwich.

Above all, my aim is to make every patient feel listened to, respected, and cared for—whether you’re visiting for a routine check-up or a complex treatment. Dentistry is about trust, empathy, and the relationships we build along the way. If you’re looking for a dental home where you’re more than just a number, you’ll find it here.

I have been with the Plummers group since I started my foundation year here in 2019. I have experienced a number of different opportunities since then, building on my career in various fields.

Since 2021 I have been a triager and advanced treatment provider for the East of England Dental Trauma Network, treating patients suffering from dental injuries. I am a keen endodontist and am fortunate now to be working with a microscope treating more complex cases; my aspiration is to pursue further training and specialty status. I also provide training evenings throughout the year on endodontics and trauma.

I am an integral part of our School Screening Team, providing dental check-ups to children in primary and infant schools, as well as overseeing either their treatment in practice or onward referral to community dental services.

I have been an educational supervisor (ES) since 2023, working on the dental therapy foundation programme; a role which I have thoroughly enjoyed and found particularly rewarding. I look forward to now moving into the dental foundation programme.

Since 2021, I have also provided NHS orthodontic services and treatment at two of our practices. I have also been a junior partner at the group since April 2023, getting involved in the running of the business, helping to shape policies, influence recruitment and drive development amongst many aspects.

Outside of the practice, I am also a member of the Local Dental Committee (LDC), which meets several times a year to discuss local and national dental policies. This has been a great way for me to network, get to know what's on the horizon for dentistry and also get involved in exciting new opportunities.

Away from dentistry altogether, I am keen golfer and now spend a most of my spare time with my wife and two boys at the golf course, or ferrying them around to various other sporting commitments. I also have a golden retriever called Gordon.

Description:
This position is spread across two practices within the Plummer's group. The majority of the time will be spent at our Thorpe St Andrew practice, which is just east of Norwich. It is a purpose built practice with ten surgeries, one of which, along with a recovery room, is used by our oral surgeons to provide a Level two minor oral surgery service. Many FD's spend some time shadowing this for experience. The practice has a staff room and a designated radiography and sterilisation room. There is a large car park behind the building.

The practice runs a shift pattern of 8am-2pm or 2pm - 8pm. There are a number of associates working at this site, many of which have stayed on following their FD year and are just starting their careers. This has the advantage of getting to know a lot of local dentists and learning from their recent experiences too. The position will be taking over the list of the previous FD with some new patients likely included too.

Location:
Norwich has a wealth of things to offer, both old and new. It is built around the river Wensum with a historical Castle and Cathedral. A thriving city centre, with a number of different areas to shop, eat or drink around the city, while being close to the coast and Broads for great days out. It is about 100 miles from London, which can be easily reached in just under two hours on the train.

As mentioned the primary practice sits east of Norwich in Thorpe St Andrew. This is a small suburb about ten minutes drive from the centre. It is well contacted via bus routes.

Norwich is a great, safe city where you can choose to be busy or choose to escape it all.

Other Points of Interest:
Plummers is one of the largest NHS family run practices. It first started in 1971 and has expanded to 11 sites across Norfolk and Suffolk, offering both NHS and private care. Within the group we are fortunate to have a number of specialists including, implantologists, periodontists, orthodontists, pediatric dentistry and oral surgeons, along with some practioners providing facial aesthetics. Having expereinced having a number of FD's over the years, all staff are familiar with the process, happy to help and encoraging for you to get stuck in, enjoy the year and maximise your experience.

The practice encourages development both clinically, holding in house CPD nights, and socially through practice socials, rounders, badmington evenings and a practice golf day. Many FD's, especially if new to the area, find the social element useful for settling in and make long-lasting freindships.

Norwich has a number of options for accommodation, with most choosing to live close to the city centre. We area happy to advise and help should you need this.

Second Practice Address: John G Plummer and Associates - New Costessey, 5 Upper Stafford Avenue, New Costessey, Norwich, Norfolk. NR5 0UD
Google Map Link

Description:
The Costessey practice is just west of Norwich. This surgery runs 8.40-5pm and has 5 surgeries, a staff room and a designated sterlisation and radiography room (with intraoral and DPT machines). All rooms throughout the Plummers group are spacious and set out the same, meaning all the materials, equipment and positioning is the same, making working between two sites straightforward. The Costessey site has 3 receptionists and a sterilisation nurse.

Location:
Costessey is approximately 15-min drive from the city centre and again well linked by bus routes if required. The practice is located in a run of shops, including a small cafe, chip shop and chinese. There is designated staff parking around the back. Just 5 minutes down the road is an out of town retail park with fast food, a Next, Sainsbury's and other shops.

Other Points of Interest:
By working across two practices it broadens your experience of providing NHS care. The two practices have slightly different feels and a different demographic of patients with different needs. This gives you a good insight into what type of practice you would like to work in going forward into becoming an associate. Working across two sites brings variety into the working week, which then flies by!

Adam Smith: I completed my FD year in 2013 and was also fortunate to stay on as an associate. I have an interest in general dentistry and enjoy the huge variety of work I experience on a daily basis. I also have an interest in dental politics holding several positions on local committees including the LDC and I am currently chairman of the Norfolk and Norwich Section of the British Dental Association. In addition I have completed courses in Healthcare leadership and management. Out of work I enjoy country walks, cycling, golf and live music. I take regular trips in my campervan!

Norwich born and bred, I wouldn't want to live and work anywhere else. Having studied in Sheffield, I returned to do my FD year at Plummers and have stayed there ever since. This will be my tenth year as an ES and I have enjoyed doing it jointly with Adam for three years now. I do not specialise in any particular aspect of dentistry, but enjoy being a general dentist, building long standing rapports with patients and the variety that the day brings.

Outside of work, I have two boys who keep me busy, but enjoy all sports when I can. Attempting to run to keep fit, playing squash, football and golf.
