This place is the heaven of dentistry. I'm usually super apprehensive and picky when it comes to dental care. I've left two other clinics in San Diego because I felt rushed, uncared for, and just didn't get the level of cleaning I was used to. That all changed the moment I came here. I had the pleasure of seeing Brittany as my dental hygienist and not only was she incredibly warm and sweet, she went to town on my cleaning. She exceeded every expectation, made sure all the plaque was gone, and gave me genuinely helpful tips to keep up my hygiene. Irina did my x-rays quickly and checked in the whole time to make sure I was comfortable. She made the process so easy and seamless. Dr. Meadows was personable, comforting, and so easy to talk to. He didn't pressure me to get anything done like other places have. Instead, he explained things clearly and made it all understandable, even for someone who didn't go to school for dentistry. And yes, I got a goodie tote bag and was way too excited about it. I honestly don't want to leave San Diego just because I never want to deal with finding a new dentist again. This place is the holy grail. read more

I have been going to Seaside Dental since the late 80's and they are the best I have had my share of Dental work in all these years and I have always been treated great five star's I would highly recommend Seaside Dental. read more

I have to wonder how many patients Dr. Meadows has lost because of Linda, the receptionist. She was dishonest and confrontational, and failed to follow through correctly. It was enough for me to go through the hassle of finding dental care elsewhere. read more

Dr. Meadows and his entire staff are exceptional! My whole family goes here for our dental work and we have always had an amazing experience. When we 1st started going there many years ago, they were so thorough with pictures, x-rays and even 3-D imaging! Dr. Meadows found a dark spot on my upper jaw in some of the imaging he did that no one else has for many years! He referred me to a specialist and it turns out it was an infection from a bad root canal about 15 years ago. I'm so grateful for Dr. Meadows expertise. They are wonderful with my kids as well. Dr. Meadows goes above and beyond with my Son's teeth & has made great observations and referrals to an amazing orthodontist for him too. Anytime I have questions or concerns if I call the office he gets back to me right away! Linda, the receptionist is also amazing. She is so personable and helpful whenever we call and when we need to re-schedule appointments. When we come in for family dental work, she is always so kind and informative with our appointments. The office is also just such a beautiful and welcoming place. I cannot recommend Dr. Meadows and Seaside Dental more, they are simply amazing and we are so grateful to have found them! read more

I highly recommend Seaside Dental! I've been a patient since the 1990's and have needed lots of dental work. Linda is the heart of the office. She's always so kind when I need to reschedule and reschedule again when I can't make my appointment. She's also super helpful in explaining my insurance coverage that changes every year, Linda's the BEST!! Abbey is fantastic, the sweetest, most talented dental hygienist there is! And a shout out to Dr. Meadows, I appreciate your care and attention to detail, I know I'm in good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of me and all your patients!! read more

I have been going here for a number of years now and cant say enough good things about this place. Staff is so friendly, and I get to watch espn on the overhead TVs while I have dental work done. Recently part of my tooth broke off and they 3D printed a filling and repaired it. Wild stuff! It looks so realistic I honestly could not tell you what tooth it was anymore. Love this place. read more

I'll start by saying I hate going to the dentist. Hate it. Dr. Meadows is probably the nicest dentist i've ever met and also did my filling much quicker than I expected. I was in and out of there in less than 20 minutes. I hope I never have another cavity but if I do I will definitely go here again. read more

Love these guys! Dr Meadows, Linda, and the entire team consistently provide incredible care. I never thought I would enjoy dentist visits until I came here. My new insurance isn't accepted here but I still plan to come here anyways...that's how much I like them. Everyone is always smiling and warm. They are honest, knowledgeable, and professional. Look no further this place is it. read more

Terrific service and consult from Dr Meadows and his staff. All very professional and helpful. Will definitely return. read more

The best staff I've ever worked with at the Dentistry. The hygienists and Dr. Meadows were very patient, thorough, and informative. And the facility is state of the art. One tip: take a look at their membership plans to help save some costs. Thanks! read more

The best dentist and dental practice out there! The office is beautiful and makes you feel like you're in a spa. The hygiene team is so friendly and very thorough with their cleanings. I have never received such amazing dental care. My son had his first dental appointment there when he turned 1 and he loved it! No tears and the exam was quick and painless. Cannot recommend this practice enough! read more

Dr. Minger is the best!! She's caring, compassionate, gentle, and beautiful, inside & out! Her cosmetic work is amazing!

I feel confident and happy to recommend this place to everyone!! read more

Dr. Meadows is the best dentist I have had in San Diego, by far! Knowledgeable, skilled, professional and super nice! The entire staff is super accommodating and friendly, making you feel more relaxed! But the most important thing is that they build a relationship on trust, which is essential for me when I go to a doctor! I super recommend it read more

So happy I found my new dentist ! Seaside Dental is beautiful, timely, thorough, and comfortable! Linda at the front desk is so personable, and Dr Meadows is amazing ! I had to have a lot of work done and at every appointment him and Irina made me feel so comfortable & relaxed . And that's not easy since I'm terrified of needles ! They work great as a team, the appointments are quick and easy- both are such kind people as well as amazing at their jobs ! You can tell they have a passion for what they do which makes the whole experience so great ! Thank you Seaside Dental ! You're all amazing ! read more

Dr Coleman Meadows is an incredible dentist! He's talented, knowledgeable and kind, he always makes you feel comfortable and explains everything you need to know! I strongly recommend him read more

I turned 30 this year and have never been good at establishing dental care in my adult life- I had gone to a variety of dentists but always felt like I wasn't sure what they were treating me for, I was having unnecessary treatments or that the care just wasn't up to par- not the case here. Dr. Meadows is an amazing dentist, the office is modern and clean, the office staff is thorough and patient- they are will text reminders for appointments and it was very easy to schedule. I couldn't recommend this practice enough! read more

I will be the first to say I hate going to the dentist. I personally didn't trust any of the dentist I went to prior to Seaside. Seaside was recommended to me by a couple of my coworkers. During my first appointment, Dr. Meadows and his team were extremely thorough. Coming from someone with a type A personality, this was exactly what I needed. There was no question about whether I truly needed the recommendation or or not because every recommendation provided was backed up by x-rays and pictures. Dr. meadows was also nice enough to give me time lines for when i needed to address certain issues and referred me to an oral surgeon to remove my wisdom teeth. Everyone in the office made me feel welcomed and safe. read more

Seaside Dental is giving me a new smile! It started with Jessica giving me the best cleaning I've ever had. Afterward, Irina took a huge spread of X-rays and photos for the dentist to evaluate. I'm so excited about the cosmetic plan and mock-up photo Dr. Meadows reviewed with me. It makes my whole face look brighter and younger! I can't thank you enough!! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Seaside Dental. I had heard great things from a friend about this practice, so when I was going to be in town from LA, I made an appointment to get a second opinion on my broken tooth. Unlike my previous dentist, Dr. Meadows explained his plan and reasoning in full. Their work was quick and painless. Everyone was so friendly and professional and the place was spotless! They also made time for me to do an in-office teeth whitening where I got to kick back and watch TV during the treatment. It was worth the visit to beautiful San Diego to have excellent work done at this amazing practice! read more

I'm so happy I found Dr. Meadows and Seaside Dental. They changed the way I viewed going to the dentist! They had a strict protocol for covid which made me feel extremely safe and comfortable. I would recommend this practice to all my family and friends! read more

I had an amazing cleaning at this dentistry! I went to Dr, Grosmark for years and I wanted to try out a new dentistry. My hygienist Jessica did such a gentle smooth teeth cleaning on my teeth. She was very detailed and made sure she didn't miss a spot. She was very informative and gave me lots of information on my teeth and what to do to help with my gingivitis. All of the staff there are very kind and very detailed with their work. I had no idea I had five cavities that I needed to get filled until I went to them. Sadly the other dentist I went to told me I've never had cavities in my life. They take lots of x-rays and lots of pictures to go over what needs to be fixed and what needs to be done so you have a perfect smile and healthy teeth. I am so happy that I went to this dentistry and I will continue to keep going. read more

I have been going to Seaside Dental for 5 years and have been very pleased. Linda at the front desk is always very friendly and helpful. Valerie Hike, the hygienist, is very sweet and gentle. The office always makes sure you're comfortable for your visit, offering a heated neck pillow, blanket, and headphones to watch TV. Dr. Minger is wonderful and I recommend her to everyone looking for a dentist. Two of my friends have started going to Seaside Dental per my referral and both have been very pleased with their experience. read more

If you are looking for a great dentist, look no further! I have been coming to this practice for over 30 years, back to when it was owned by Dr. Lange. When Dr. Lange retired a few years ago and Dr. Meadows took over, I was so concerned that the "vibe" of the office would change but it didn't at all. I swear, it's like Dr. Meadows is a younger version of Dr. Lange and I mean that as a very sincere compliment. Dr. Meadows is not only a great dentist but has a wonderful bedside manner as well. Puts you completely at ease and is conservative when he recommends treatment plans. If you don't need something done immediately, he'll be honest with you and tell you it can wait. Just very genuine and I trust his recommendations and his work. The office is state-of-the-art and you can tell his staff really enjoy working there. It's the little things like him offering to bring his staff lunch (like I heard him offering at my last appointment) which gives you some insight in to Dr. Meadows' personality. His office manager, Linda, has been there for probably as long as I have if not longer and she manages the office, appointments, and billing flawlessly. And, of course, my favorite hygienist Abbey is a rock star! I know a lot of people don't like going to the dentist, but I actually enjoy it and would highly recommend this practice without hesitation! read more

It's 10 stars from me!! This dental practice was just amazing from start to finish. As soon as I opened the door, I felt like I was in a spa! It was so stunning and zen. The lady at the desk was so lovely and had a big smile. Jessica the hygienist is amazing. I have been to different hygienists in Ireland and New York, and Jessica was the best I have been to. She was so thorough and gentle, I didn't feel a thing. Then I was seen by Dr. Meadows, a gentleman!! He did a full examination and again was so gentle and kind. He gave me a run down on everything going on with my teeth and asked had I any concerns. Dr. Meadows was so attentive to any issues I had with my teeth and answered all my questions with a smile. I am back in two weeks and I can't believe I am saying this, but I am actually looking forward to go to the dentist!! I am so happy I found this dental practice. read more

I highly recommend Seaside Dental! All of the staff - from the front office to the hygienists and assistants - are extremely courteous and professional, and there are generally good vibes all around. Dr Meadows is very personable and obviously extremely knowledgeable in his field, and I am told by folks in the industry that his work is outstanding. It really feels like a close knit family operation, and I recommend this office to anyone looking for dentist. read more

I had my first appointment with Seaside Dental yesterday and am really impressed! Their office is extremely clean and filled with a lot of up-to-date looking equipment and some really amazing imaging tools. I came in looking for an upgraded dental care experience near my work --Britney, my hygienist, was appropriately aggressive with cleaning and was able to get rid of discolorations that had been there through several years of cleanings. Stephanie took a whole battery of pictures, X-rays and a fancy head scan, all with a very cheery attitude and clear instruction. Dr. Meadows has a wonderful demeanor and was able to chat very pragmatically with me about long term plans for dental care. I felt very well cared for for and my teeth look great! I fully recommend checking these folks out. Linda will get you all set up with a smile and efficiency. Cheers! read more

Thank you Dr. Kim for fixing a tooth I broke over the weekend. Painless, fast, but most importantly your attentiveness to detail regarding my bite. Great personality and very gentle. Best dental office in San Diego!!! Also if you need the best hygienist, ask for Abbey. read more

Dr. Meadows and all of the staff from the front office to back are professional, kind, and made me feel like their only patient. Dr. Meadows is working with me to correct a crown that has been replaced twice already with dentists I worked with through my crummy HMO dental insurance. They have the latest technology and know what they're doing. I tell everyone looking for quality dental care that doesn't want to deal with rotating dentists anymore to go to Seaside Dental. Dr. Meadows- thank you for your care and attention to my specific dental needs. It's such a refreshing feeling being listened to and knowing that my dental care is now in the best of hands! read more

Seaside Dental has been my home for dentistry for nearly two years now and it's been a fantastic experience. Dr. Meadows has helped me with a new bite guard for my grinding/TMJ and fixed an old bond on my front tooth that blends in perfectly. He also has the best bedside manner! I've learned so much, not just from him but also from the hygienists, and they too have the nicest personalities. The office is very flexible with scheduling. Overall, I'm happy to have found this office and would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs well-rounded dental care. read more

Dr. Minger and her staff are amazing ! I feel at ease and relaxed during treatments at their beautifully designed office. It is sometimes hard and stressful finding a trustworthy dentist that cares about your health. I truly feel like I have found a dentist and staff that goes out of their way to make the experience of visiting the dentist an enjoyable one. This is not an easy task! I recommend you come experience Seaside yourself! read more

Seaside Dental - Porcelain Crown 3D printed Instantly! Technology is cool. So convenient ! No need for a follow up visit. - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - La Jolla, California

After some mediocre and downright terrible dental experiences, I did some research to find a practice that I would love and trust. Seaside Dental delivered! I cannot say enough good things about their team. From Julia's welcoming demeanor at the front desk, to the gentle and thorough dental hygienists, to of course the doctors themselves. Dr. Kim is so personable and detail oriented, I trusted him the moment I met him. You would never think someone would look forward to a filling, but if it's with Dr. Kim, I do! A bit unbelievable, I know. If you're looking for a dentist in the area (or even if you have to drive from far away) I highly recommend. Office is beautiful and zen-like, parking is easy, and treatments are top-notch. read more

This practice is by far the best practice I've been to. As a kiddo I dreaded the dentist, it's was scary and uneasy. I just wish there was a dentist like, Dr. Meadows, when I was young. He is professional and welcoming. I would recommend his practice and staff to anyone. You cannot beat this amazing environment! read more

Seaside Dental is the BEST!!!! Everyone is so kind and knowledgable. Anyone can call and speak with receptionist extraordinaire Linda - She's awesome! She knows how to communicate with patients from people who have never been to the dentist to speaking with people with advanced dental knowledge. She can literally answer any question. My Dental Hygienist Abby is the coolest, funniest, sweetest person ever! I am not kidding when I tell you I feel NO pain when I come into get my teeth cleaned. We always have the funniest conversations and you kind of feel like you have known her your whole life. Since my very first visit she remembers what makes me comfortable: Warm neck pillow, Warm blanket, sunglasses, headphones, TV. . . With my favorite station already on! My teeth always feel so healthy and clean when I leave. The facility is so clean and organized. The machines and dental equipment are top of the line. You start to think as you walk through - how cool would it be to work at a place like this! Everyone just loves their job! :) Dr. Minger is by far the worlds best dentist! If there were the Oscars for Dentists, she would hands down receive the golden statue. When I first met Dr. Minger my teeth were basically falling out, in other words I had way too many cavities! Now I have the worlds most beautiful and healthy teeth because of her. I have never felt any pain while getting work done. I hear people talk about how they don't like going to the dentist. I can honestly say that I look forward to going to the dentist because I know I won't ever be uncomfortable. The amount of good Dr. Minger does for humanity in dental care is just out of this world. I enjoy hearing and learning about her trips to poverty stricken countries to perform dental care to those less than fortunate. Dr. Minger is loyal to her patients, you will always be her first and foremost priority. She truly has the kindest heart. Seaside Dental will be the best decision you ever made. I promise, they will make you feel right at home. :) read more

I have been coming here for 15 years and in that time I have received the very best dental care. I have had many fillings and onlays and even a crown and every single time it is an easy pain free experience with great results. Before coming here I had terrible dental anxiety from my previous dental experiences now I am fairly comfortable thanks to the tremendously competent doctors and staff. Plus they use the newest highest tech materials and solutions I had Dr. Meadows and he did three fillings and a complete same day multi-surface onlay on a tooth I broke very recently and I left in zero pain and had lunch right after all the work was done, I even mowed the lawn when I got home. I wrote this review only because I'm really thankful to have such truly amazing dentists. Thanks Seaside Dental!! read more

The search is over. You found it. This is the dentist office you need! After recently moving to the area and needing to find a new dentist I rolled the dice with Seaside because I read so many positive reviews. They were awesome! Dr. Meadows was professional, knowledgeable and kind. The office staff were friendly and flexible with my challenging schedule. I will definitely be back :) read more

I absolutely love the staff and service provided at seaside dental. I came to them in a desperate time of dental need, they were quick, responsive, professional, and unbelievably accommodating. I plan to take all future dental business to the team at Seaside Dental! read more

The staff at Seaside Dental have gone above and beyond to take care of me in a desperate time! I called in minor frantics with an issue with an existing crown. They got me in within 10 minutes, greeted me at the door with a smile, delivered an exceptional experience, and did a truly great job with my dental issues. The office is clean, beautiful, equipped with the latest technology, and you can tell by the way that the staff interacts that they are all knowledgeable and highly qualified. I will definitely be returning with my regular dental needs. Thanks again, Seaside Dental, for supporting me in my time of need :) read more

I've never felt so at ease and comfortable in a dentist chair as do at Seaside Dental. Hands down Abby is the best hygienist you could ask for and all the dentists are very polite and friendly. The entire staff always takes plenty of time to explain things and answer any questions you might have. I actually don't hate going to the dentist anymore. I highly recommend this office if you're looking for a new dental office or to make a change to a better one. read more

This is the nicest dental joint I've ever been to. The people were very nice and funny. I got a very damaged tooth that almost needed a root canal worked on and didn't experience any pain. That's a first for me. I will be a return customer. read more

This place is amazing! In my experience there are two things that usually keep me away from going to the dentist (as much as I might need it) one of them is the bill and the second, and I am assuming most of you will agree, the nightmare stories. This office addresses both amazingly. They have plenty of plans to work with you when it comes to be able to afford their services. I have been able to address many issues thanks to the staff who takes the time to explain your options and plans. In terms of the nightmare stories, you need to not worry about it. Their staff is extremely friendly and gentle, they do everything in their power to make you feel comfortable and make your visit a pleasant one. I have been pampered with warm towels for my face, numbing gel, I get to choose what to watch on TV, I have been offered to nap while getting my cleanings done, they have blankets and neck pillows, after your visit you get this little party favor bag...I mean come on! If you are looking for a new dentist I recommend you give this place a chance, I can guarantee you won't regret it. read more
