Lighthouse Dental Practice
There has been a Dental Practice at 34 High Street in Ipswich for over 70 years. It has been run by several dentists over the years, with the previous owner establishing a centre for nervous patients. A few sessions per week used to be dedicated to dental services under sedation or general anaesthetic.

In 2007, Dr. Tocca joined the local dental community as one of the dentists in Ipswich. Initially, he worked as an associate then he became the new principal when the previous owner retired. As an Ipswich dentist, with the help of his dedicated dental team, Dr. Tocca is committed to caring for the dental health of the local population.
Services
Our practice philosophy is to help our patients to reach and enjoy long-term dental health. In order to achieve these goals, we emphasise the importance of prevention, since, as it is well known, prevention is always better than cure. By following our advice, we are confident that our patients will be able to reduce the need for future treatment.
These procedures require thorough treatment planning and often combine different dental disciplines like gum disease treatments, root canal treatments, fixed and removable prosthetics. This case was done to prevent the frequent break-down of existent work and to improve on the overall aesthetics in a natural way.

I've been with Lighthouse Dental Practice for several years. I really appreciate the attention to detail, personal attention and clear explanations that I receive from the team. I'd like to mention Angela and Hannah, the dental hygienists in particular as they together with Dr Tocca are always friendly, welcoming and put me at ease. D.Clarke

I am an extremely nervous patient due to some past childhood experiences as well as a recent emergency dentist experience and unfortunately this has left me with a general fear of Dentists. I chose the Lighthouse dental practice as it mentioned specialising in treating nervous patience. I needed a tooth extraction due to previous childhood dentistry ineptitude and was not looking forward the the experience. Dr Tocca took great care of me during both my first consultation appointment and today when i had my extraction. I have to say thank you so much to Doctor Tocca for your incredible professionalism

I haven’t been to the dentist for a very long time and was very confused about what I needed and many places I called said they didn’t quite understand me or said they couldn’t accommodate me but I had a fantastic experience with the receptionist here called Donna, she asked me about the troubles I have been having and chatted with me about the best options I could take and the different treatments available and then even gave tips on how I can ease my pain until my appointment comes. Thank you Donna for making everything straight forward and easy for me to understand! I’m excited to start

Today I had my first dental treatment with Dr Tocca @the Lighthouse Dental Practice, I just wanted to say how marvellous they all were including the receptionist, and nurses. I am not the bravest patient but they really did make the treatment pain free. I would have no hesitation in recommending this dentist to the many other nervous patients out there. Thanks all again.

The dentist I saw was Kate Ranson. she was friendly, explained everything clearly and in everyday terms. I had a filling today and I can honestly I barely felt anything, she was gentle and thorough with it and I had no sensitivity either, in the past with dentists. She has a professional , caring and gentle manner about her and as someone who suffers with anxiety issues I felt very relaxed having treatment today. She’s the best dentist I’ve had to date. Would recommend her . The receptionist is always friendly and professional too. Feel lucky and Very happy to be a patient at this practice

I can’t rate this dentist highly enough, as I am a very nervous patient.
Dr Tocca and his team are very kind and sensitive, and always put me at ease.
All the staff are friendly and helpful.
