About Marina Dental
Marina Dental is a cosmetic-and-general practice on West 5th Street in central Oxnard, located in the historic downtown corridor that runs through the older parts of the city. Run as a named-owner office rather than a chain location, the practice combines cosmetic dentistry — porcelain veneers, in-office whitening, bonding repairs, and smile makeovers — with the broader general-dentistry scope. The 5th Street location serves the central and west Oxnard residential pockets that surround the downtown civic center, with most patients being long-term residents of the area.
Patients searching for front tooth cosmetic repair in Oxnard, CA, professional teeth whitening in Oxnard, or composite veneers vs porcelain in Oxnard can find a structured cosmetic program here, with porcelain and composite veneers handled in-house, in-office whitening sessions, and dental bonding for chipped or stained front teeth, plus multi-visit smile makeover planning for patients pursuing a more substantial aesthetic change. The practice walks patients through the porcelain-versus-composite material trade-off before settling on a treatment direction rather than defaulting to whichever option carries the higher fee.
If you live in central Oxnard near the 5th Street corridor, in the downtown civic-center neighborhoods, or in the harbor-side residential pockets and want a cosmetic dentist who's a short drive rather than a north Oxnard trip, Marina is a sensible central-Oxnard starting point.
Cost-wise, Marina Dental runs in the standard mid-range for a Ventura County cosmetic practice — porcelain veneer cases are quoted as multi-visit packages with material trade-offs walked through up front, composite cases are priced lower per tooth, and bonding or whitening visits sit in the typical Oxnard cosmetic range. The dual general-dentistry side keeps pricing on routine restorative work in the standard insurance-accepted range. For central Oxnard patients comparing cosmetic dental options, this practice belongs on the shortlist of established 5th Street and downtown-area cosmetic offices. Cosmetic consultations here typically include a structured shade-and-tooth-shape preview before any veneer work, and photo records of prior cases are kept on file for patients to review during planning.
Patients looking for veneers on West 5th Street in Oxnard, California can consider Marina Dental, which lists it among its treatments. The practice is open Monday through Friday. Full service details and contact options are available on this page.

I left a very rude comment awhile back. I wish I could delete it but I can’t find it. I was rude to Liz and the amazing dentists 🦷 at marina dental. Considering I’ve been to three other dentist 🪥 I’m so happy I called them. The rude comment left by me was my own fault. They are efficient and kind also affordable. The best receptionist Liz, along with he dental team. I will never speak I’ll of them again that was my fault and the did an amazing job!!!!! How often does a person get a molar pulled in 5 min ? #marinadentalisthebest
Want to really thank all the staff for helping me out. Also special thanks to Janelle for sitting down with me and working with me and my finances explaining everything and making sure I was understanding everything correctly really appreciate everyone that help me out in my visit
I had a great experience at Marina Dental. The team there was awesome. Very friendly and courteous. Dr. Joseph and Dr. Leslie. Thank you Marina Dental.
I’ve been going to Marina dental for years. Dr. Sandy Gabriel is the owner and an incredible dentist. Always deeply concerned with your care. She’s so knowledgeable and gentle. Natalie De La Cruz has been an assistant there for years and I look forward to her taking care of me every time. And their newest addition is Biscuit, the poodle puppy that’s studying to be a therapy/service dog. As if this place can’t get any better!
I can honestly say this is the best dental office I’ve ever been to as an adult. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. Mina at the front desk is the sweetest (and honestly the most stylish front desk girl ever!). Every time I call, she’s incredibly kind and welcoming. I was so nervous leading up to my root canal, and weeks before my appointment she took the time to encourage me, answer my questions, and give me so much confidence. Her kindness made such a difference, and she was just as caring on the day of my procedure. Dr. Josh is amazing. He truly believes in preventative care and doesn’t drill or do unnecessary work just because he can. I really appreciate that he takes a conservative approach and only recommends treatment that’s genuinely needed. He made my root canal a much better experience than I ever expected. I also have to give a shout-out to Leslie and the hygienists. They always make me feel like a friend instead of just another patient. I have eczema, and dental appointments can be uncomfortable because my lips and skin dry out while I’m being worked on. They always have Vaseline or Aquaphor ready and are so attentive to making sure I’m comfortable. That level of thoughtfulness means so much to me. It’s rare to find a healthcare office where every single person genuinely cares, but that’s exactly what you’ll find here. I actually look forward to my appointments because I know I’ll be welcomed with kindness, honesty, and exceptional care. Thank you all for making every visit such a positive experience. I can’t recommend this office enough!
I had such a great experience, and I especially want to recognize Paula at the front desk. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional from the moment you walk in. She made the entire check-in process easy, answered all of my questions with patience, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service truly stand out. It’s rare to meet someone who genuinely cares about making patients feel valued. Thank you, Paula, for making my experience such a pleasant one—I highly recommend this office because of amazing staff like her!
I’ve been coming to this dental office since 2015, and I’ve consistently had great experiences here. My most recent visit was no exception my cleaning was thorough but still comfortable, and everything was explained clearly along the way, which I really appreciated. The X-rays were quick and easy, and the whole process felt very efficient without feeling rushed. I especially want to highlight my experience with Denise she was amazing. She made me feel at ease right away and was very friendly and professional throughout the visit. What really stood out was how informative she was. She took the time to explain dental terminology in a way that actually made sense, and she also showed me better ways to floss, including the difference between floss picks and traditional string floss. That extra effort really made a difference and helped me feel more confident about taking care of my teeth at home. Overall, a very positive experience, and I would definitely recommend this office to others.
Seriously one of the best dentists I have ever been to! Their compassion to their patients is above and beyond, going out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable. Plus they have done so much preventative maintenance on my teeth, without having to do intensive work and always fairly quick! Mina, Paula, and Andy are treasures!!
Leslie and Dr. Josh are great. Very Friendly and professional. I get very nervous and they make you feel calm. They take time and explain everything. Front office staff is also very welcoming.
Had a little emergency today, awesome front staff was very kind and understanding on what service I needed. Janelle was extremely friendly and guided me on the steps in order to be seen. Dr. Josh was very gentle and very understanding about my concerns. He was very smart and quickly/accurately knew exactly what was wrong. I will recommend this place to others and stand by my great experience. Happy Birthday Josh!!!
I arrived in pain left with a smile. Thanks to the amazing help of the nurse Natalie and office manager Janelle. I walked in with a major tooth ache and had the wrong information for my dental insurance. Not knowing what to do and how things are going about as well as managing my pain Janelle made sure to help me understand my insurance and help me actually contact my correct insurance for my dental to make sure I am covered and make sure I’m able to get the help that I need it. Well, Janelle was helping me with my insurance. My nurse Natalie was being amazing and helping me stay comfortable with my tooth pain by making sure I had anything I needed to feel comfortable while we figure out my insurance. At the end, Janelle was able to fix my insurance issues and found out I was completely covered as well as able to schedule my following appointments as Natalie helped them prepared the dentist to help alleviate the pain. This by far has been the most satisfying and helpful trip to the dentist I’ve ever had
Dr Gabriel is the best. She takes her time to make sure everything is perfect and explains everything. She makes me feel comfortable. Her assistants are also so kind, even the front desk. I have an overwhelming fear of the dentist and everyone here makes me feel so safe. Mina is also a huge part to this. Thank you all.
