Regular dentist was closed after my cap fell out, ocean family was the only dentist in the area who cared enough to say come right in. I ended up getting the cap back on myself and didn't need to go in, but the staff was so incredibly kind and helpful that I felt they deserved a review. The people at the front desk were exceptional and I would recommend them just based on how kind they were. I'm sure the rest of the practice runs similarly. more »

I am only leaving 3 stars because it wasn't that the office itself was bad, but we were given false info that seemed slightly disingenuous. My husband has minor spacing in his teeth for his top teeth only. They are very straight, and bottom is close to perfect, he just has gaps in the top - I saw on Ocean Family Dental's website that they do Six Month Smiles and thought that would be the perfect option for him.

Directly from their website:

"You may remember the "train track metal mouth" look from years ago. Six Month Smiles *braces* uses tooth-colored (white) brackets and wires. They're barely visible! Six Month Smiles *Braces* are appropriate for correcting spaces, gaps, crooked, or crowded teeth."

I called and inquired about this exactly and they said yes, they do it and we scheduled a consult. However, when we got there, they pitched Invisalign and when we mentioned the braces with tooth-colored brackets and wires, they said "We don't do that here." 🤨 But the website advertises that they do AND I was told over the phone that they do, so is that just a set-up to get you in the door?

It would have been nice to be told this upfront. We were not trying to make a consult for Invisalign as we know it's likely out of our price range, unfortunately. I don't like wasting anyone's time or my own, so I like clarity and upfront information.

After weeks of minor pain Had lost my father a few weeks before so the last thing i had time for was a tooth for a few weeks a got by until Last Saturday when I woke up with a tooth ach that was so extremally sever I could not stop putting Orgel on it constantly. When I called I had never been to their practice but they told me to come right over and within 10 mins in waiting room he had seen me and gave me Novocain and numbed the affected tooth 1st to get me outta the pain. Then he began a root canal. Dr. Gilbert is the Most gentile Dentist I've ever had.
Not to mention the office is Beautifully Done

Great dental practice. A special thanks to Jasmine, a hygienist that is professional and thorough. I have nothing to offer about the dentists because the hygienists have kept my teeth in very good condition. more »

In the ship bottom office I had Tonya do a cleaning… she was top notch… kind and very thorough! .. She took the time to explain and educate me on the process… I’ll ask for her for next cleaning…Dr Bramlette examined my teeth and I felt very comfortable with her guidance. Good “chair side” manner. A very good experience! more »

Had to come in today for a tooth extraction I scheduled 2 weeks ago. The last 2 days the tooth got really infected. Dr.Wittke was absolutely great he assured me everything that was going on and that they would be able to extract the tooth unless I felt a lot of pain. It was absolutely painless and he was very gentle in pulling it out. I am forever grateful for releaving my pain! Highly recommended! more »

I have been going to Dr. Gilbert since 1988, when we were having a tough go of it. He was so gentle and kind, making it possible for me to get the care I needed at the time. Today I cannot always see Dr. Gilbert, but in time of need he always makes time for an appointment to see him! He is like a friend. more »

Dental assistant Kathy and Dentist Dr. Marano were amazing! I think it is safe to say that nobody "enjoys" going to the dentist but these two amazing ladies made the experience enjoyable! I cannot thank Kathy enough for being so caring during the cleaning and making sure I was okay during the entire process. They both were so gentle and kind and took the time to explain things to me and answer all of my questions. Not only are they great at their jobs, but they both seem like wholesome human beings! And the entire office had a wonderful vibe to it, from the lady that took my xrays (sorry I did not get your name) to the front desk receptionists that scheduled my appointment, everyone was wonderful! more »

I was very upset when the pandemic came in and my April 30th appointment was of course cancelled. A few days ago I was riding by and saw cars in parking lot. I went in to make an appointment but was told to call in the future not just come in as I did. The woman behind the desk did, however, took my name and number. I was called a few days later and had my appointment today, June 8th. Sherry was terrific and very professional. Your protocols are so comforting and I felt very safe. The staff at the front desk were cordial and my thanks to the woman who got me in for this appointment. I would recommend anyone who cares about their teeth health. Thank you again Sherry you are a pro. more »

I had broken my tooth on a Friday and was able to get an emergency appointment for Monday. The office is quiet, immaculate and runs very smoothly. The staff was kind and the dentist and assistant did such a wonderful job bonding and matching my tooth color, my tooth looks like nothing ever happened. I’m SO pleased. more »
