I went in for impressions for an implant crown and bonding on my two front teeth. Dr. Oleksy did an absolutely amazing job! My teeth were worn down from grinding and she shaped them to perfection! You can't even tell they have bonding on them! I wouldn't go to anyone else for cosmetic or necessary treatment!

Who likes going to the Dentist? Well you will find yourself looking forward to your appointments at Seaside Dental! Beautiful, peaceful office, state of the art technology. You are first met at the front desk by Linda. Friendly, helpful, informative. Linda has been the cheerful person with this office for at least 10 years. Well, since I have been a patient there. :) Abbey, is my Dental hygienist. She is excellent! So talented, knowledgeable and pain free skills. She offers you a warm blanket, neck warmer, eye protection, ear phones and you are able to watch your favorite program while she works on you. My dentist, Dr Coleman Meadows is beyond the BEST. I have some health challenges. And Dr Meadows does his research on my medications and recent health condition before a procedure. His experience with state of the art technologies is fantastic! NO PAIN. You are relaxed (blanket, protective tinted eye wear, headrest, and again your favorite movie channe). You are truly in the best hands at Seaside Dental. I can't say enough nice things about them.

I have been with Seaside Dental for over a decade. I started with them because they were close to where I worked at UCSD and stayed because of great service.

First time at Seaside Dental, I was very impressed with the professional and accommodating staff. The office is very clean and welcoming. I was greeted by Linda at the front desk who was very helpful in scheduling a future appointment for me. Stephanie was very nice and patient, she did the X-Rays and photos. She explained all procedures and created a "feel at home" type feeling. Brittany, one of the dental hygienist did an amazing job on my teeth that had not been tended to in quite some time. She was extremely efficient, gentle and precise with the cleaning. Last but not least Dr. Meadows was very thorough about my teeth. He explained his concerns and what needed to be addressed. He was very personable and made the entire experience a great one, especially for someone who doesn't enjoy the dentist. Everyone at Seaside Dental was extremely welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

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!

My experience at Seaside Dental was exceptional from start to finish. The entire staff was professional and personable during my visit. It was apparent Dr. Coleman Meadows is dedicated to providing accurate information and valuable care to his patients. He was thorough, engaged and efficient. Linda, Stephanie and Brittany also made the experience easy and enjoyable. This was my best dental experience to date and I would highly recommend Dr. Meadows and the Seaside Dental staff.

Dr. Meadows was referred to me by a dentist-friend who used to live in the area. I couldn't believe the level of professionalism and care we received at Seaside Dental. Heather, the hygienist was extremely careful and precise, I didn't feel a thing! They have advanced technology and the office is beautiful and clean. My husband had some deeper tooth decay and instead of recommending a crown like other dentists, Dr. Meadows used an inlay which is less invasive and more conservative. He's so thorough and listens to the patients needs and goals. Even the woman who took my pictures, Stephanie was so friendly and welcoming. It's such a warm atmosphere. After 16 years of searching for a dentist we like and can trust, we've finally found one!

I had my teeth cleaned by Valerie. She was very through. My teeth haven't felt so clean for a long time. She did an excellent job not only cleaning my teeth but also gave me suggestions on how I could do a better job. She gave me a brush and a mirror and had me brush areas I was neglecting. Even though she wears gloves while cleaning my teeth she washed her hand several times while getting ready.

Best cleaning of my life! Jessica did an incredible job with my teeth. They have never felt so clean or looked so good! Afterward, Irina took a huge spread of X-rays and photos so that Dr. Meadows could put together a cosmetic plan for me. I'm so excited to get my improved smile. Thanks Seaside Dental. You're the best!!!

Not only is this office tremendously beautiful on the inside, the team is fantastic, too. I went in today to get my teeth whitened (I've had a couple not-so-great-experiences...) and was a little nervous. I worked with Brittany. I was in an out in an hour, didn't feel a thing, and was totally relaxed. So happy to be a part of this practice. Plus, added bonus, my teeth are about 3 shades whiter!

I can't say enough great things about Seaside Dental! I visited last week and I immediately felt welcomed. There is a true family and community feel throughout the office. All employees seemed to love and enjoy their work environment, which says a lot to me. I am planning permanently change to Seaside Dental with, Dr. Meadows and his staff.

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 for a procedure 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.

I have been a patient for more than 20 years and could not be more delighted with my experience. The staff is incredibly professional, the office is pleasant and bright, and all the equipment is state of the art. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist as a child, but after discovering Seaside Dental I now actually look forward to dental appointments. Everyone on the staff feels like extended family. I only wish it was possible to give more than five stars!!!!!

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 !
