Avoid This Place – Dishonest and Greedy!

I had a crown done at this office, but they didn’t adjust my bite properly. When I went back for a follow-up to fix it, they assured me the adjustment would be free. However, I was still charged hundreds of dollars for what was supposed to be a complimentary service.

On top of that, the doctor explicitly told me that the panoramic X-ray (which was optional) would be free—yet I later received a bill for it! When I called to clarify, the staff was extremely rude and dismissive.

This office used to be decent a few years ago, but now it’s all about money over patient care. They’ve become greedy and dishonest, prioritizing profits over integrity. DO NOT go here unless you want surprise charges and terrible customer service.

Follow-up: After posting my review, the office reached out, saying it was a miscommunication by new staff. While I appreciated the response, that staff also implied that I had too many follow-up visits—as if I wanted to keep coming back! Nobody wants to waste time and effort returning to fix a crown that should have been done right the first time.

To this day, my crown still doesn’t feel right and remains sensitive off and on. I truly regret getting it done so much. It was optional as my previous crown worked well. Now the new crown keeps bothering me.

My crown just got off. This is way too ridiculous…

I've been coming here for years. I got my clear aligners from here and they were super helpful in guiding me through the process. The staff is very sweet and attentive from the moment I walk in to when I'm closing out. They continuously check how I'm doing as they're working on my teeth for cleaning and they give good advice/recommendations anytime I have a concern. I can't recommend them enough.

Dr. Alana Thompson, DDS, at Seabright Dental Studio is the best dentist. She is kind, friendly, caring and does an excellent job. Her staff is great too, they really make you feel welcomed every time you enter the office. Leslie is a great hygentist. I can’t say enough about this place. Highly recommend.

Honestly this is the best dental office ever. I have dental anxiety and everyone always makes me feel welcome before I even venture back into the chair. Once there I’m in the professional gentle hands of a gifted Dentist. Warm, kind and always reducing my anxiety for whatever the procedure calls for. My hygienist also is IMO one of the best. My cleanings are always a positive experience with a very gentle hand and professional demeanor who’s there to educate with a warm and kind manner. Beautiful office beautiful people.

Leslie is the best dental hygienist! She is so knowledgeable and always gives me great tips for caring for my teeth. I have gum recession and a lot of sensitivity. She is gentle and I no longer dread cleanings. It is almost (you're great Nick!:) an all female staff and doctor which feels great. Very happy at Dr Thompson's office.

Seabright Dental Studio is the absolute best! Super knowledgeable, kind, caring, fun staff. They are always looking for better ways to do things including getting new equipment frequently to keep up with the latest in dental technology (which I ask a lot of questions about).

I’ve never really looked forward to going to the dentist, but the folks over at Seabright Dental are such gems that I find myself looking forward to it. Not gonna lie, I fell asleep during a dental cleaning one time and like, when does that ever happen?

Got cavities? I forget what awesome dental technology they got but oh boy, I got a few filled and it was the easiest, most painless thing ever! Obviously, you don’t want cavities but if ya got ‘em, it was a breeze here!

They always try to do the least invasive options and never push you into doing procedures. I always ask them a lot of questions about what equipment does what and how things work and they are happy to explain and chat with me.

I was just in there the other day and had a lovely time watching an albino red tail hawk on a bird cam with Kelly while getting my teeth cleaned.

Anyways, if ya want to love going to the dentist, definitely check Seabright Dental out!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Thompson since she opened her office 4 years ago and have been so happy to have such a great staff help me with my dental needs. Everyone there is so helpful, Dora will answer any insurance questions you may have. Leslie is my Dental Hygienist and is so gentle, yet thorough. Juliett has been assisting Dr. Thompson for a decade, knowing what she needs makes things go so smooth. Your dental experience will be a pleasant one, for sure.
