Just visited Ocean Dental who took my 9 year old daughter for a urgent filling. The Dentist (Ella) was young, professional and excellent with my daughters first injection / procedure. I recommend them! Also, note all the poor reviews are years old. Recent ones are very positive.

My son received fantastic service at Ocean Dental Centre. We all know it can be a little scary when someone's working in your mouth, especially for a kid. The dentist and his assistant were kind and caring and did fantastic dental work! I'm very grateful for the good service we received here.

Great staff, Victoria and Brodie always make you feel welcome and comfortable and explain everything that is happening. Benji and his team are always friendly and make you feel welcome and comfortable. I've been a long time patient at ocean and I will be going there a long time ahead.

It can be quite nerve breaking going to Dentist but the team at ocean dental make you feel comfortable and are very welcoming I was going to a previous practise and was being charged a ridiculous amount for dental treatment while at Ocean the prices are reasonable would recommend coming here
