Debra L Seaton, DMD

I have been going to Dr. Seaton for many years now and would highly recommend her and her services. Unfortunately, she does not take my insurance, and since I will save almost $ 500 with a doctor under my plan for a crown and $ 40 each time I visit for cleanings, I am choosing to go to a new dentist. I will surely miss Dr. Seaton and her staff.

Bottom line: Good dental care at great prices; up front and honest.
I see other reviews that complain about the music in the background or the maintenance of the building, and I agree that the house this practice is in is old, and I’d prefer cooler music. But who cares? The staff is friendly, there is a waiting room, the equipment is clean, the prices are honest, and Dr. Seaton is respectful and knows what she’s doing.
I recently went to another dentist because I had a coupon (Dr. Seaton’s exam prices are the cheapest without a coupon or groupon), and after a quick exam was told I needed four cavities filled for around $ 1000. After collecting myself, I called Dr. Seaton’s office to see how much the same procedures would be there. $ 200 less for the same thing!
So, I went to my appointment with Dr. Seaton prepared to get four cavities and shell out some cash, but Dr. Seaton felt that the other dentist’s results were far too aggressive and diagnosed me with only one cavity. In the end, she saved me $ 800, and I now have a filling in the one tooth that had a cavity. I feel taken care of as well as respected.
Also, the staff was very friendly about the fact that I used a coupon elsewhere for my exam, cleaning, and x-​rays. I didn’t feel guilty at all, and that makes me feel like a valued patient.

3 relatively unenthusiastic stars. (How enthusiastic can you be about the dentist?) The actual quality of the dental work is fine. They hygienists are professional and relatively gentle, Dr. Seaton does good work and provides sound advice, and the receptionist is always friendly and accommodating.
It’s the decent quality of care that keeps me coming back — I’d rather not take the risk involved with switching. Still, I have qualms. The place is in SERIOUS need of a deep cleaning. Would it kill them to run a vacuum through the place and dust every month or so? It’s gross. They play soft rock radio that’s easily as grating as the sound of a dental drill. They have you pay in full and then give you a reimbursement form to mail to your insurance provider; a minor inconvenience, but one I’ve never experienced elsewhere. Lastly, Dr. Seaton engages in long, drawn-​out conversations about her home and personal life with her coworkers which I’m subjected to when sitting in the chair waiting for her to look at my teeth after a routine cleaning. I’ve sat alone for 10 – 15 minutes waiting for her to finish up some trivial conversation before looking at my teeth for 2 minutes and sending me on my way. I’m missing work for this appointment — could you respect my time and be a little more professional? Ugh.
So maybe three stars is a little generous. Still, the dental care is fine and that’s the most important thing. If the rest bothered me enough to switch I would, and I haven’t, so 3 stars it is.

I’ve been entrusting my teeth to Dr. Seaton’s care for over 15 years now. I have faith in her, and her staff, and regularly recommend them to folks new to the area.

I was recommended to Dr. Seaton’s dental practice by a friend, and I am really glad I switched and started going here. The entire staff is friendly, kind, and cheerful; and Jennifer, my hygienist is awesome. She is gentle and gave me some really good (teeth and jaw related) advice. I’ve been to some dentists in there area where it’s all doom and gloom, you need this, you need that, etc. etc. but Dr. Seaton’s is not like that at all.
Also, I kinda love beach-​y/​tropical décor!
