About Us

Ocean Dental began in 2007 with humble beginnings and a small dedicated team in the industrial subdivision. When an opportunity to head into town arose with the old Pizza Hut building going for sale in 2015, the owners jumped into a year-long project of rebuilding the premises into an excellent dental care facility with a fresh look and top-notch gear. Ocean Dental Centre has a quirky team of outstanding professionals, dedicated to providing a dental service that can't be beaten in Gisborne.
