Sandgate Family Dental is a family practice at 12 Lagoon Street, Sandgate, a short drive from Brighton.
Both our dentists see patients of all ages, so the whole family can come to the one place.

Toothache, a broken tooth, or a lost filling? We assess how urgent it is over the phone. Brighton patients can call us first thing in the morning and we’ll do our best to see you at the earliest suitable time.
Family and Children's Dentistry
We see patients of all ages — from toddlers to grandparents. We take a patient-centred approach to kids’ appointments, moving at a pace that suits the child. We also bulk bill eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
Cosmetic Dentistry
From professional teeth whitening to veneers, composite bonding, and clear aligners, we offer a wide range of cosmetic options. Our approach is practical and honest — we’ll recommend what’s right for your teeth, not the most expensive option.

Fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal treatment, and dentures — we restore damaged and missing teeth using modern, tooth-coloured materials wherever possible.
