Top quality staff, great service. I changed my old dentist to this place and I am very happy. Hygienist Sarah was amazing and she did a phenomenal job. Dr. Sarika was very knowledgeable and she didnt rush like other dentists. Front staff was very nice and prompt. Definitely the best. Keep up the good work.

Dr Ruder & his staff are friendly & accommodating. I love the fact that he only suggests procedures that are ultimately necessary and not for cosmetic purposes. These days where most doctors/dentists are pushing procedures for increased revenue, Dr Ruder is honest and genuinely concerned for your best financial interest. I've referred him to several friends and will continue to do so.

I have never been to a dental office that I like more than this one. The staff there truly go out of their way to help - the doctors, hygienists, dental technicians/assistants and office staff. It’s such a pleasant experience. They recently went out of their way to get me seen when I realized I would be out of town on the date of my scheduled appointment. I could not be more pleased.

This is the most comfortable dentist office I have ever been to. The dentists are absolutely fantastic professionals. The dental assistants are just as gifted. The front desk staff are highly experienced in the management of insurance issues, and are so friendly and helpful explaining everything. I highly doubt I will ever be as satisfied by another dental office. Even though I spend a lot of time getting to them from another city. 5 stars only!!!

Update from the Company:
"This is the wrong Seacrest Dental. This company is still called "Seacrest Dental", but it's actually run by the son of the dentist who runs the "main" Seacrest Dental.
Yeah this isn't the wrong Seacrest Dental. It might be a different location, but shares the same overarching name and business ownership of Seacrest Dental. You're two separate locations of the same business.
You intentionally don't have a Yelp account that's claimed by the other business, and I know precisely why; I work in Marketing and Advertising

Apparently when your Dentist states that you'll receive a "full refund", of $1,000, that actually only means $650. I guess I paid $350 for a procedure that I never received. I understand COVID has severely impacted business, but that doesn't mean your business can arbitrarily charge customers for procedures they never received.
I'll be happy to amend my review if Dr. Ruder can honor his own statement of a full refund. The business has my contact information so they have every opportunity to do so.
Thank you!

My husband and I have been going to Seacrest Dental for a few years. We absolutely love Dr. Reese Ruder and wife.
His staff is 5 stars. Colleen in front office always makes sure we have the Best Dental Insurance since we all know the headache Insurance companies can be.
We get the Best teeth cleaning in town and now they have a massaging chair to help those who get nervous when going to the dentist.
I recommend Dr. Reese Ruder and
wife Dr. Sarika Tamaskar to all of my friends and family.

I went for a crown on one tooth. Dentist said I needed another one on another tooth. So two crowns. Office persons said my insurance would cover both after my deductible. They repaired both. When I went back for follow up they told me insurance would not cover the second crown. So I had to pay for the entire new crown which wasn't even bothering me when I went to see them. Now the second crown doesn't fit well and food gets underneath. I am still paying for crown I didn't want so I can't get it fixed until I pay off the bill.
Not sure I would recommend it's been a mess

My family recently relocated and we had left our previous dentist with unfinished work. My teeth have had a lot of work, and I knew I had cavities, but my previous dentist laid out a treatment plan to pull out several older fillings and fill additional fillings. I didn't understand how so many "old" fillings needed to be fixed. I wasn't looking forward to the work or expense. Came to Seacrest and instead of having ten cavities that supposedly needed filled, she found only three! None of my previous work needed fixed. What a scam. I truly appreciated Dr. Tamaskar's professionalism
