Dr. Brent Hurst and his team are fantastic! My kids usually don't enjoy visiting doctors, but Hurst Orthodontics is an exception--they love going to Dr. Hurst. They enjoy being at his office, getting their check-ups, and receiving treatment. Dr. Hurst explains everything in detail and in a way that's easy to understand. He and his team are incredibly caring and professional. I highly recommend them! read more

A lot of orthodontists have swag bags of merch and other bells and whistles to get you to come in, but do they all back it up with good patient care? We were referred to Dr. Hurst by our dentist several years ago and yes, has all the fun things including shirts and gifts (even a yearly private party at The Wave! How generous is that?!) but it's clear by everyone's kindness when you schedule, work out your insurance, or call after hours that this is more than advertising. They want to build a relationship with you and your kids so that they have a positive experience and aren't afraid to come in. THEN he and his team take excellent, gentle care of their teeth! They are patient with scheduling for busy families, have a great system of reminder texts, once he came in on an off-day to make an emergency adjustment before my son went to sleep-away camp! Seriously 10/10 plain old good care and family environment, not a sales pitch. read more

Dr. Hurst and his staff and the most welcoming and inviting people I have ever met. I went to Dr. Hurst when I was younger and he gave me a phenomenal smile. I recommend Dr. Hurst to everyone I know who is looking to straighten their teeth. The staff is extremely helpful in making sure you can afford your dental treatment. I recently returned to Dr. Hurst for a second round of straightening (Wear your retainer kids! Don't end up like me)! Aside from having braces again, I'm glad to be back at this office because of how wonderful the staff is. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Hurst and this amazing practice. 10/10 recommend. I also wanted to add that I love how female friendly this office is. I went to use the restroom and noticed that they offer sanitary products for women. Not many places do this but I'm always thrilled when I come across it. I love how homey and comforting this office is! read more

Dr. Hurst is an incredible Orthodontist and I've got to say, an all around nice guy! I was transferred to Dr. Hurst from a dentist with whom I had undergone disappointing results from Invisalign treatment. I'm completely astounded with the knowledge and experience that Dr. Hurst has in moving teeth! He clearly loves what he does and you can feel his joy when he sees how well his patients are doing! If you are looking for your best smile, or in my case, getting my smile back, look no further than Dr. Hurst! I also want to express that his staff are all very friendly, courteous, and so professional too. read more

Dr. Hurst and his team are fantastic. They are caring and compassionate. They explain everything and answered all questions. If my child had a problem with their braces we were able to schedule and get in quickly to fix it. They are up to date with braces, color bands and retainers. read more

Dr. Hurst and his staff are wonderful. We originally had a consult with the orthodontist at our dentist but I didn't feel they gave us a very personalized approach. I am so glad we found Dr. Hurst. They made time for us when brackets popped off, wires poked, or we had to reschedule. They even let me take home the before pictures. We are 4 weeks away from getting the braces off and I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

April 20, 2018 I'm a new patient with Dr. Hurst. At age 61 I found my teeth had drastically moved, a childhood underbite once corrected with braces has come back to haunt me and I have some obvious spacing between my front bottom teeth. All have which has impacted my self-confidence. I received a recommendation from my very dear friend who works in the ortho industry (not this office) to make a consultation appointment with Dr. Hurst. I'm so happy I did. Dr. Hurst readily evaluated my needs. He and his very professional, friendly staff spent well over an hour with me for the consultation. In addition, Dr. Hurst provided me with a list of general dentists in my network in preparation for ortho work. I needed a deep cleaning, and low and behold had a couple cavities to correct prior to proceeding with ortho work. Dr. Hurst was and is very sensitive to my fear of dentists and even made contact with the dentist I ultimately saw to ensure my comfort would be considered. He sincerely cares about his patients and is an excellent communicator. To that end, Dr. Hurst did put braces on my teeth about one month ago and I'm just beginning the process. He and his staff have been marvelous. They are professional, have an outstanding bedside manner and there is no doubt in my mind of the knowledge and expertise with Dr. Hurst and his staff. They know their craft. Although I'm of course looking forward to completing this process, I'm very happy to have selected Dr. Hurst. I'm not an easy sell and therefore can assure you I write this review with a high degree of thoughtfulness. It is for these reasons (and more) I rate this practice a 5-Star Rating! If you are looking for an Orthodontist (for children and adults), this is the one! read more

From the instant of walking in the door and being greeted pleasantly and respectfully to the decade of tireless help and tune-ups, Brent has rescued my smashed Motorcross mouth and helped me regain the fantastic smile that is launching my Hollywood Career!!

I'm dating myself here, but I was a patient of Dr. Sundquist back when I was a teenager. I received lots of dental work here, including head gear to adjust my jaw and braces. Dr. Hurst took over the practice during that time and I was immediately taken with his enthusiasm and friendliness. He always had a smile on his face and never missed a day of work. He made coming to the office a fun and enjoyable time, which is hard to do when you're a moody teenager having to wear braces. I highly recommend choosing Dr. Hurst as your orthodontist, should you need one. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Bob Sundquist back in the early 90's before he retired and I made an appointment with Dr. Brent Hurst who took over his practice. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that some of the employees are still there after all these years. He adjusted my retainers, cleaned them and gave me a new case all at no charge. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hurst as he was extremely knowledgable and helpful. The office staff is also awesome. read more

I've been going to Dr.Hurst for 10 years. I've had 3 rounds of braces from him. First two were metal and my current brackets are ceramic. Over the course of 10 years I've had countless jaw issues. I was first introduced to Dr.Hurst and the staff in 2005. I had an underbite that needed serious correcting. Regardless of my jaw structure and problems I've dealt with, they've always been here to help. I'm in my 20's and still feel welcomed as ever. They are great with teeth and really focus on achieving that perfect smile. Mine just happened to take a little longer than expected. I'm forever grateful and I refer all my braces-bound friends to their office whenever possible. Thank you Dr.Hurst and staff! read more

Dr, Hurts is great. I am now sending my second child there for braces. Upfront about all work and more important about the cost. No surprises. Flexible payment options. I can't say enough. I have sent 3 patients to this office and everyone has thanked me. read more

Our family was vacationing in Carlsbad when my 14-year old daughter's wire on her braces broke. We called Dr. Hurst Orthodontics and we were able to get in that same day.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist. Thank you Brent Hurst and staff!! You are amazing and we appreciate your kindness and your expertise! read more
