In 2000 Don operated an Oral Surgery

eleven different practices. In 2003 he
opened Ocean Dental, quickly gaining a high
reputation for his surgical skills and attention

patients often commenting how his caring
and relaxed style immediately puts them at
ease.

enjoys treating difficult and challenging
cases. He regularly attends postgraduate
courses, keeping up to date with the latest
advances in modern dentistry and holds

Feedback from other courses given:

“I have known Don for a number of years
and have referred patients to him for oral
surgery…. Overall, I would recommend this
course to anyone looking to become
involved with implants. It was a relaxed,
enjoyable evening with a great deal of
information put forward in an easy to
understand way.” Dr P.D.

“I have referred patients to Don Weerasirie
for minor oral surgery and have always
found him very professional and dedicated.
Don gave a clear presentation with plenty of
real-life, practical information. I now feel
confident to offer this treatment option in
my practice… I trust Don, and would not
hesitate to recommend him to my patients
and other referring dentists.” Dr L.G.
