Sushil John

Dr. Sushil G. John graduated from King’s College London in 2000. After completing his dental foundation training, he worked in South London both as a General Dental Practitioner in Lewisham and as a Dental Officer in Special Needs Dentistry at King’s College Hospital.

Having grown up in South East London, Sushil has always felt a strong connection to the local community and is committed to supporting its health and well-being. He understands that visiting the dentist can feel daunting for some, and takes the time to talk through each patient’s needs in a calm and friendly way—believing that a little reassurance can make all the difference.

In 2005, he founded West Croydon Dental Practice with a clear goal: to provide high-quality, affordable dental care for hard-working families. In May 2024, after nearly two decades at the helm, Sushil passed the leadership of the practice to Oma, confident in her ability to carry forward its values and vision.

Sushil has also been closely involved in mentoring and education. As a Dental Educational Supervisor, he guided new graduates through their first year in practice. He has delivered regular talks and training sessions for the British Dental Association (Croydon Branch) and NHS England Workforce, Training & Education (formerly Health Education England).

He holds the MJDF (Diploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties), a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, and an ILM Level 7 Certificate in Leadership and Management. Today, he continues to support the next generation of dentists in his role as a Regional Dental Training Programme Director for NHS England Workforce, Training & Education.’
