A Lifetime of Dental Excellence
Dr. Sugg, owner of Ocean Dental and Aesthetics, is a native of Cleveland, Ohio. She earned her Bachelor’s and Dental Surgery Doctorate degrees from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). She earned her BA from CWRU in 3 years, with a double major in Chemistry and Biology.
Continuing at CWRU, Dr. Sugg graduated from the School of Dentistry in 1989 with her Doctor of Dental Surgery Diploma. She took the North East Regional Board and scored 100% on her Operative Dental Exam.
After graduation, she joined the CWRU Dental School Clinic faculty.
As a Clinic Instructor, she enjoyed teaching and mentoring dental students in hands-on dentistry, while also working in private practice. She owned and operated her Chagrin Falls, Ohio, practice for 14 years before her transition to Hilton Head Island.
Dr. Sugg moved to Hilton Head in 2008 and began setting up Ocean Dental and Aesthetics. While her practice was in its infancy, Dr. Sugg was awarded a secret clearance with the US Department of Defense, allowing her to work with the Marines on Parris Island. Dr. Sugg also worked with mobile dentistry operations helping to fulfill the needs of the US Army. As the practice began to grow, she slowly transitioned away from her military work to spend all her attention with her Hilton Head patients.
Special Interests
Dr. Sugg is passionate about cosmetic and full-mouth reconstruction. She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. She enjoys working with patients of all ages, and her dedication to health and inspiration by beauty is the philosophy that has made Ocean Dental and Aesthetics so successful.
In her personal life, Dr. Sugg and her husband greatly enjoy their 3 college-age daughters and anticipate an empty nest in the not-so-far-off future. She fancies herself a DIY-er and a wannabe gardener, and might just renew her private pilot’s license. If not at the office, you might run into her boating on the May River or shopping at Home Goods!
