Services
Dental Check-Up
Our comprehensive dental examinations identify potential issues early through visual inspections and digital X-rays. Patients receive detailed treatment plans covering preventive care and cosmetic options. This service ensures long-term oral health while maintaining patient comfort throughout the process.
Tooth Whitening
Professional-grade tooth whitening treatments brighten smiles using custom trays and advanced gel formulas. The process achieves visible results within weeks while minimising sensitivity. Dentists oversee each stage to ensure safe and effective application.
Porcelain Veneers
These thin ceramic shells correct discoloured or misshapen teeth for aesthetic enhancement. The two-visit procedure involves enamel preparation and bonding. Veneers provide natural-looking results that maintain structural integrity while improving smiles.
Dental Crowns
Custom-fitted crowns restore damaged teeth through precise impressions and shade matching. The process involves minimal preparation followed by secure cementation. Crowns protect weakened teeth while maintaining aesthetics and functional bite alignment.
Hygiene Treatments
Regular professional cleanings remove plaque buildup using ultrasonic scalers and polishing techniques. Hygienists provide tailored oral care advice to prevent gum disease. Sessions focus on maintaining periodontal health through thorough yet gentle procedures.

I have been a patient of Ocean Dentalcare since 2018. It is a modern dentist surgery with a highly qualified staff. The receptionists are always very polite and efficient. My dental surgeon Dr Andrew J Pugsley is both highly professional and extremely personable. It is always a pleasure to visit Ocean Dentalcare.

Everyone in ocean are friendly professional caring and understanding. I was truly afraid to go to a dentist but since I've been at ocean my fear has disappeared. Would truly recommend them to anyone from reception to dentist and hygienist 100%. My teeth gums have improved with their help. Thank you
