The Welsh visitors got off to the perfect start with a converted try from Aaron Wainwright inside the opening minute but the home side finished as comfortable winners, with Nathan Doak scoring 15 points.
Doak converted Cormac Izuchukwu’s 12th-minute try as Ulster drew level but Jared Rosser quickly put the Dragons back in front, Tinus de Beer again kicking the two points.
Ulster finished the first half in control, though, thanks to tries from Nick Timoney, Dave McCann and Zac Ward, securing the bonus point.
Doak then converted his own try two minutes after the break before Shane Lewis-Hughes ended the run of points against Dragons with a try in the 49th minute.
No further scores were added for half an hour until Tom Stewart had the final say with an added-time sixth for the home side.
