Dr. Pearl Bhougal, BDS

At Sandringham Dental, we know that no two smiles are the same – and that’s exactly why our care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our team of skilled professionals brings not only expert knowledge, but a genuine warmth to every appointment, making sure your experience feels comfortable, respectful, and tailored just for you.

Whether you’re looking for preventive care, cosmetic treatments, or long-term dental planning, we’ll work with you to create a care journey that suits your needs. Because here, dentistry is more than a service – it’s a personal connection

Dr. Pearl Bhougal –
Principal Dentist, Sandringham Dental

Dr. Pearl Bhougal leads Sandringham Dental with a calm, gentle approach and a deep commitment to high-quality, patient-centred care. Inspired by her mentor Peter Ng and the clinic’s rich heritage dating back to the 1960s, she’s honoured to carry forward its legacy of trusted, community-focused dentistry.

Whether you’re visiting for a routine check-up or a more complex treatment, Dr. Bhougal believes in keeping things straightforward and focused on what matters most to you. Her care is personalised, honest, and always delivered with empathy. Fluent in both English and Hindi, she ensures her patients feel comfortable and understood every step of the way.

A regular attendee at dental conferences and hands-on workshops, Dr. Bhougal stays at the forefront of advances in modern dentistry. She’s passionate about making dental care more comfortable and accessible through the use of the latest technology and tailored treatment planning.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Bhougal is a devoted animal lover. If she hadn’t become a dentist, she would have pursued her other calling – veterinary medicine. She shares her home with her beloved cat, Iris, and enjoys painting in her downtime. When she can, she also volunteers at the SPCA, combining her love for animals with her desire to give back to the community.
