Everyone at Thrive Dental were absolutely wonderful!!! I called at 11am on a Friday in excruciating pain. They did everything they could to accommodate me, two hours before they closed for the weekend! It turned out I needed a tooth extracted and they worked with me financially. Dr Weise, Jennifer, Lauren and all the girls were friendly, caring and really listened to everything I said. Honestly, the best experience Ive had at a Doctors office in a very long time!! These guys rock and I would recommend them in a heart beat!!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!

As always, Thrive Family Dental did a wonderful job with the kids. I remember dreading the dentist when I was young, so its refreshing to see them being comfortable with the experience and looking forward to seeing Meadow (the offices specially trained rehabilitative dog). I think this is a fantastic approach! I also appreciate their thoroughness with confirmations, reminders, and ease of scheduling. This is a great dental office and I would highly recommend it to you and your family.

I love the atmosphere as soon as I walked in.Everyone was so kind and friendly. And they were all smiles. Made me feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Their attention to detail is amazing! From the time you walk in to the time you leave, the team and the dentist make sure you feel comfortable. They are very thorough with their procedures and they are happy to take their time to answer all your questions. I walked away feeling great! Would definitely recommend them!

I just got to Wilmington over the weekend and started having tooth pain. They fit me in the very next morning and they were so nice I didn’t want to leave. That’s saying a lot when you go to the dentist!!! Dr. Friberg is so nice and during the exam he brings in Meadow, this precious dog that is so calming. And I hope I get their names right, but Jennifer and Lisa were amazing. My dental assistant was as well! Just a great experience overall.I not only got my tooth pain taken care of, I found a dentist I will always go to.

Thrive Family Dental is the MOST wonderful dental office I have ever been to….IN MY LIFE!!! In the addition to being state of the art, yet reasonable in cost their commitment to the kind, gentle, respectful treatment of their patients is unsurpassed. I am a “white knuckle” dental patient and in addition to how great all the humans are at Thrive dental- they also have a service dog available for patients like myself who benefit from the calming effect that having this uniquely trained dog present provides to me. Her name is Meadow- and she’s priceless. ❤️🐾

The entire experience here was tremendous. From the time I called to see if they would accept me for an emergency visit, to me being greeted as soon as I walked in the office. Everyone there was so kindhearted and friendly. They explained everything in a manner that I understood and I really appreciated that. I can’t wait for my next visit!!! Hands down one of the best dentist offices I’ve been too.

Great first visit with a very friendly & accommodating team. The new patient special is a great deal. They checked all boxes, did a thorough exam, were professional, honest, & gave me a few new resourceful tips. They have options & are affordable for the uninsured. Dr Friberg & his sweet dog are gems. Will definitely be adopting Thrive Dental as my new dentist.

I had a dental emergency and they were able to squeeze me into their schedule ASAP. The entire staff was very friendly and professional. I was having a lot of anxiety about my visit, and was so excited to see that they had an office therapy dog named Meadow (I love dogs!). She was so sweet and helped put me at ease. My entire experience at their office was great and I would definitely recommend them!

Dr. Friberg is always patient, tolerant, and professional. The additional time that he put into making my bridge and to have it match my other teeth in the front of my mouth was spectacular. I highly recommend Dr. Friberg! The office staff is also extremely warm and welcoming. I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Friberg and his staff for all the amazing work they have done for me and my husband.F. Sutton

Thrive Team did a great job and treated me like one of the family members. A great dentist office that goes above and beyond any expectations.

From my decision to make the appointment there was a sense of calm. The Thrive Hive was pleasant and welcoming the moment I entered the office. The tour of the office was like a welcome to our home, please make yourself comfortable. The Thrive Hive is like visiting family. Thank you for your embrace and I look forward to coming home again.

Upon entering the facility the staff were all incredibly polite and very informative of the services they provide. As a bonus, the facility dog was extremely cute and nice! Will definitely be having the rest of my family go there!

Everyone is so friendly from the minute you walk in the door. The office is clean and modern and the live feed of the ocean in Wrightsville Beach made for a very relaxing experience in the room. My options were clearly presented and I felt I was able to make informed decisions about my treatments without any pressure. Highly recommend!

I havent been to the dentist in years due to not feeling comfortable and bad experiences. But the staff here are super friendly and explained everything that they were doing and why they were doing it. Their office is warm and welcoming and hardly feels like a dentist office. Its the most comfortable Ive been at the dentist office ever and Ive already recommended the rest of my family to come here for their next dentist appointment.

What can I say nothing but awesome. The entire staff makes you fell at ease. Jennifer was very helpful with explaining prices and making the schedule of the work I need done. Deborah was was great and very knowledgeable with my exam. Dr. Friberg was awesome. I needed a tooth pulled and other work done he fit me right in and took care of my needs. I highly recommend Thrive Family Dental.

From out if town and I texted them on Sunday night. Got reply and appointment first thing Monday for crown that had come off. Dr. was able to get new crown and put on while in office on one trip. Very nice and whole office was kind and helpful. Cant go wrong here.

MEADOW makes the experience amazing. Dr. F is very thorough and his hygienist is wonderful. No one enjoys going to the dentist, but going to Thrive is a wonderful experience.

The staff was welcoming and put you at ease the moment you enter. They give you their complete attention and do not rush you. The space is designed with an open door atmosphere allowing the patient to see everything.

Great patient care and customer service-I was welcomed right in and received quality care. Dr. Friberg and my hygienist for the day, Tracy, did an outstanding job in each segment of my visit. No worries and all positive outlook on the dental front. What might be best to me though is that they had my total health in mind and provided some quite helpful education to me overall and for my specific needs.Also, Meadow did an awesome job.

Incredibly professional and courteous. The dentist put off a vibe of friendliness and competence. I really enjoyed my visit. And they have a really sweet dog.

I recommend you make your next appointment with Thrive Family Dental, especially if you are new to the area.

So…I was in AWE at how amazing this place was for my first visit. Not only is the office staff so friendly and kind, but everyone you meet and see is willing to go ABOVE and BEYOND to make you feel comfortable during your visit no matter if it’s your first, or 100th. I fell in love with Meadow, and Dr. Frieberg really makes you feel so comfortable and really walks you through your treatment plan while hearing you out. If it is your first time, do not worry they will literally hold your hand the whole way, laugh with you, cry with you, and make sure it’s as painless as possible. Would recommend them to anyone!

All i can say is WOW! i have never had a dental experience where i felt comfortable and even got close to enjoying… until i went to Thrive! Everyone is SUPER friendly and kind! The appointment pre screening was super helpful and allowed the staff to get to know me and prepare for me! also… one word: meadows!! thrive has a therapy dog that is there for the patients!! SO a sweet! As someone who struggles with a lot of anxiety about the dentist, i LOVED thrive and had such a great time! i am actually excited for my next appointment! THANK YOU THRIVE 💗💗💗

The staff and dentist were professional, courteous, and considerate of my goals in the treatment of my issues. After retiring in a new area, and searching for a Dentist, at my first appointment, I was provided with an assessment and treatment plan with a cost estimate that was flexible and budget worthy. I do feel their professionalism will continue in successful treatment of my issues.

Thrive Family Dental has the most up to date equipment with the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff I have encountered in all of my years of dentist visits. I am greeted each time with a friendly smile and a sincere “how are you”. It is a comfortable setting with great background music and a loving comfort animal “Meadow” to make even the most apprehensive patient feel at ease. I’m so happy to have recommended several patients to this practice who always come back to me to tell me what a great office and wonderful staff they have.

I was headed to the Wilmington area for vacation and my tooth broke along the way, and on a Sunday no less! I called Thrive Dental first thing Monday morning and they were happy to get me in. They appreciated how alarming the situation was and for me to be way from my own family dentist. The whole team, from Jennifer in the front office to Dr. Friberg and his assistant, were incredibly kind and caring. I so appreciated their flexibility to get me in and taken care of. Of course I am back home and have seen my dentist for a new crown, but BIG thanks to the Thrive Family Dental for making my vacation fun and sun and not all about a broken tooth!

One of the best dental experiences I’ve had. They are very nice and accommodating and care very much about the well being of their patients. I felt comfortable and confident in the staff and care that I received. Thank you thrive family dental!!!!

Everyone was friendly yet professional. I loved my dentist even though i cant remember his name. Kudos Thrive Family Dental, youre a great practice!!

I recently visited Thrive Family Dental for tooth pain. As a new patient, I was immediately accommodated. As someone who is a bit anxious about dental visits, I immediately felt at ease. This sense of calm is attributed to the staff, Dr. Friberg and Meadow (so sweet). Dr. Friberg and the staff were welcoming and addressed my concerns quickly. I would definitely recommend their practice to others.

Absolutely wonderful dentistry. They are kind, caring, fun and growing! Dr. Ben has made sure to build a team that would support his mission to bring love, dignity and respect.

This is as good as it gets, when it comes to going to the dentist! EVERYONE that works in this amazing office is warm, professional and caring, and not just on your first visit. We have had several bad experiences with some dentists in the past, from having a silver cap put on my child’s tooth without my consent, to being dropped because we missed an appointment that was made 6 mos out. My teenage daughter loves it here. They handle her with dignity and great care. And we all absolutely love Meadow!

Wonderful customer service and a welcoming atmosphere. Every staff member encountered was extremely kind, would gladly visit again!

All around great experience as a new patient. The team is helpful and thorough in their care. The atmosphere of the office is relaxed and welcoming. You can tell they are happy to be there. Pricing is very competitive too (I am uninsured). This was one of my best dental experiences - I highly recommend Thrive.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I just moved to Wilmington and was in need of a dentist ASAP for a hurting tooth, as well as to establish care. Jennifer was SO wonderful working with me to find an affordable plan and keeping in touch the moment a cancellation became available to work me in. The office is gorgeous, the staff couldn’t be kinder, it’s not “salesy” like many dentist offices, and the care and attention to detail was exceptional. ( I saw Dr. Adorable, btw😉). I highly recommend Thrive to anyone either new to the area or simply looking for some top-notch dental care at caring prices.

Such a wonderful group of people. Always great service. They treat you like family. ❤

Greatest personal dental experience ever. I came in as a new patient. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. My hygienist, Tracy, did an amazing job on my x-rays and cleaning. Dr. Weis was very kind and thorough. I really like that they take the time to show what they are looking for and discuss in detail any concerns.

This dental appointment was like no other dental experience that I have had in my lifetime. The staff and Dr were amazing. Meadow, the dog sat in my lap during the entire crown procedure. And I haven’t even talked about the amazing technology. They do the crowns right on site and I was done in only 2 hours with just 1 appt. necessary. I now cannot imagine going anywhere else for my dental services.

Very friendly people. Emily did great taking care of my teeth. Pleasant atmosphere.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. I never once felt like they were rushing me in and through. They were very thorough with my cleaning and care and took plenty of time afterwards to talk with me about my dental health and answer questions. Plus, Meadow their therapy dog is so sweet and cuddly!

Great caring people here and the comfort pup is a wonderful calming addition for anyone with a little anxiety about seeing the dentist!

Love the practice and people. Everyone is wonderful. As a professional in the heath equity space my only concern is the lack diversity among the staff. That is a serious concern in the 21st century for any business or practice. It would be great to see more of this as the practice expands in the future. As a matter of practice, it is important for me to support businesses that match staff to community demographics.

I found this place at 2 am while browsing because of tooth pain. After looking at several places I came upon this place. Boy am I glad I made the right decision. From the moment you walk in the door it’s great vibes, very “homey”. The staff is super nice and comforting. They’re all super helpful and understanding and I felt no judgement. Highly recommend. Especially for young adults.

My wife and I moved to Oak Island 5yrs ago. Until then we had the same dentist for 30 yrs. We tried several other dental offices but none make us feel comfortable then we tried Thrive Family Dental Dr. Ben Friberg and his Staff made us feel very comfortable and we also felt like they would make a great replacement for our old dentist. We both highly recommend this practice they are very professional , patient and very understanding of any of your dental anxieties.

Professional, friendly, and great at handling last minute dental issues. Really couldn’t have asked for more!

Great experience here! The staff are always so friendly and nice. I love having Meadow there in the office as well. Quick check in and always quick appointments. Their new technologies are outstanding compared to previous dental office experiences. Felt like they are on the cutting edge.

This is such a great team. Ive had more than routine cleanings done here now - and their level of professionalism and care extends to those more intense things as well. I feel like a member of the family when I walk in, and Im bummed to leave! Who else can say that about their dentist!?

Thrive Dental is one of the most professional, innovative and overall comforting dentist office I’ve ever experienced. Their technology is unmatched; the staff members are welcoming, informative and genuinely care. Amazing experience that I highly recommend.

A true professional is able to compete and identify potential issues and offer solutions to them. The founder, Ben Friberg discover cavities and decaying tooth when no other could not. A true blessing it is to know when I am exploring the world, Dr.Friberg will be offering life giving care to people who need it most!

All the staff are incredibly kind and patient. This is a really special dental practice and Im so grateful to have found them. I cant recommend them enough.

Went in with a few issues that i was very worried about. Everyone was very kind and listened to every thing i needed to address. I usually dont feel comfortable around doctors. But once i started chatting, i felt at ease.

Great experience again today at Thrive Dental. Needed help with an old crown that had come off. Jennifer was great in getting me in quickly and both Haley and Dr Friberg did a great job of replacing it with a new one perfectly fitted that they now make in office!

Thrive Family Dental was a positive experience in every way possible - Dr. Friberg and his staff are both caring and knowledgeable with the needs of the patient coming first. The exam was not only through but comprehensive with a knowledge of over all heath as the goal. With Meadow their Emotional Support Dog, Thrive addresses the needs of each patient in a holistic manner including all senses to produce a calm, pleasant experience. I can not say enough good things about Thrive Family Dental and highly recommend them to all.

My first visit to Thrive Family Dental was an extremely positive experience. Every staff member was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. My exam, x-rays and cleaning along with patient education, were the most thorough I have ever experienced. I loved meeting the golden retriever too!

This was my 3rd visit to this office and I can honestly say they are the best and wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!!! Jennifer at the front desk is so helpful and so understanding especially when it comes to what you can afford and they really try their hardest to work with you. Meadow their therapeutic dog is precious. I love having her cuddle up with me in my lap while having any work done. She is great at making you feel calm and relaxed and making the experience much less stressful. I am always telling people about them when they are looking for a dentist and will continue to. The dentist and his staff are very knowledgeable and I definitely trust them with all of their recommendations.

I had a great experience from the start to finish. I loved Dr. Freiburg and the ladies were nice and explained everything to me. I also loved their mascot doggy which made me relax. Thank you and I look forward to my next visit

Dr. Friberg has a wonderful bedside manner for those of us that are terrified of dentist visits. He is never in a hurry, and takes time to answer all of my questions. He never makes me feel like I am being silly for asking him to stop working when I get too anxious. Meadow is wonderfully calming. Believe it or not, I was scared of dentists and dogs when I started going to Thrive, but both have been much easier to deal with because of Dr. Friberg, Meadow and the staff at Thrive.

Playful and professional staff, Doctor was very skilled and helpful and to a person like me with no insurance every dollar saved is awesome. I will be going back if needed 100% recommend.

Vey nice and clean office and waiting room. All the people who tended to me were friendly and courteous. I was explained everything clearly and services were performed painlessly and efficiently.

The place was clean and inviting. I was impressed by the top of the line technology they had during my visit. My dental hygienist, Tracy, gave me the most painless cleaning I’ve had in my life. And to top it off, I was greeted by a sweet fur baby that helped with my anxiety on dental visits. I think I finally found a dentist that helps me feel calm during visits with a top of the line service and results.

Very nice and professional. Makes you feel like family.

Had a great experience! Everyone was super friendly! Definitely have found my new dentist.

Amazing experience with my 9 year old daughter. She was nervous walking in, but Meadow calmed her down! Super sweet and attentive staff. Dr. Friberg is great with kids! My son will be there next week. Thank you! Highly recommended!

My first time at Thrive today. I was already pretty sure that I was going to like Jennifer just from talking to her to make the appointment. I was not wrong!! She is so friendly and helpful! Then I met Kayleigh, who showed me around the office and was truly an expert with the fancy x-ray equipment they have. Then Tracy came in to clean my teeth. She was very knowledgeable and gave me a more thorough exam than I have ever had. A compassionate and gentle hygienist that truly knew her job and did it well. Dr. Weiss came in and checked me out after all that and really took his time explaining things that I did not understand. I was so excited when I walked out the door to have found such a great dental practice ! Great job with this practice! Love the Thrive Hive and cant wait to meet Meadow! Thank you!

What a great experience. I am relatively new to the area and was impressed with my visit. The facility has an abundance of natural light and is really inviting. I was given a tour and then taken back for my cleaning. Everything was explained thoroughly and all questions were answered. Great job, great service, great team. Thank you!

The Hive at Thrive is on their game! Superior customer service, excellent attention to detail and made me feel at home! Dr Friberg is amazing with listening and explaining and made me feel very comfortable. And Meadow ….what a sweet pup!! Love the music selection!!

Such a lovely, warm staff. Highly recommend!

Because of circumstances that happened fifty years ago, I am deathly afraid of dentist. The ladies at the office made me feel comfortable, and went all out to make sure that they did everything they could to make me comfortable. Dr fridberg was very informative, also made me feel very comfortable, so as much as I can enjoy a visit to the dentist, this office is probably one of the best Ive ever been to

Every person (and Pooch) in this practice goes above and beyond to get to know you and your needs on a personal level. Top notch all the way!

Great office of smiles & kindness! Meadow accompanied me during my procedure, wonderful addition to the team. Happy I found Thrive Dental 🦷😊

Amazing amazing amazing! Knowledgeable, kind & caring. This team works together to make the process smooth & effortless for patients! I’m so glad they are caring for my family. Highly recommended you go see Dr Friberg, Meadow & the wonderful staff at Thrive Family Dental.

Great experience! Friendly staff all around.Thank you Thrive tribe... see you next time!

Everyone at Thrive Family Dental is extremely friendly and professional. Since being a patient of this practice I have much less Dentist-anxiety. I would highly recommend Dr. Friberg to everyone!

Very friendly! Loved how they talked to my children and not around them. My daughter had an awful time at the last dentist we had for her, never wanted to go back. Now after visiting Dr. Friberg and his wonderful staff those fears are gone!!

This is the most professional, compassionate , friendliest, place I have ever had the pleasure of being their client.The rates are reasonable, and they have a family type atmosphere that makes it almost pleasant to be visiting the dentist.😬👍😬

Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Having the Oceanic surf cam on the TV while having your teeth scraped is sneaky comforting.

Friendly and professional staff who provided detailed information for each procedural step and laid out a plan to improve my dental health. I was a same-day referral and the staff worked through lunch to accommodate me. The office is impeccably clean, comfortably modern and the dental equipment/procedures are state of the art. A great experience.

I had a great experience at Thrive Family Dental! All of the staff members were so kind and professional. Dr. Ben was great and explained everything so well. I especially loved MEADOW the facility dog, she helped keep me calm and eased my anxiety during treatment.

Me and my son had our first dental visit in Wilmington today and according to my 10- year old, he is ready to have a dental visit everyday! Best care ever! Knowledgeable, kind and helpful staff. From the Dr to other staff, all took the time and effort to fully meet our needs. And of course the lovely cherry on top of the cake was Meadow, the dog! She is such a precious addition to the cadre!

I never really laughed in a dental office before... they made it happen. Good people with the best attitude.

Fantastic all the way around! Front desk, hygienist, and dentist! Would highly recommend this office :)

I loved how thorough my exam was and all of the knowledge given throughout my visit! I like how everything was open and it felt like everyone had fun working together and that’s always nice to see. And of course seeing MEADOW was a highlight too.

Excellent experience, as always. Everybody at Thrive Family Dental is fantastic. They are professionals who are great at what they do, and they are very efficient but you never feel rushed.

What an amazing experience. I had not been to the dentist for 8 years due to bad experiences with the dentist in the past and anxiety. The staff at Thrive Family Dental are very professional and reassuring. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing, and welcoming. I definitely would recommend to anybody.

Great experience. Was very informative and transparent about every step along the way. Enjoyed seeing X-rays and before and after pics with descriptions. Never experienced this with any other dentist that I have used.

Bright, clean and relaxing office, friendly staff. Dr. Friberg has an honest, conservative approach and shows you everything as he explains clearly what is happening in your mouth! Ive found the dentist Ill stay with for the long haul!

Never had a better dentist experience in my life. Was welcomed to my new dental team cordially and immediately made comfortable. Everything was explained to me throughout all procedures.A beautiful and immaculately clean office, friendly people, and an adorable dog, Meadow, made for a great visit.

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Thrive Family Dentistry to anyone needing dental work done. The office staff was very professional beyond compare and made my visit more comfortable than any other dentist Ive ever been to. They are indeed the best of the best. 👍I went again for an extraction of a tooth that was very problematic, pain wise. However, Dr. Friberg, Jennifer and Anna came to the rescue and I couldnt thank them all enough. I feel great and again I would recommend Thrive Family Dentistry to those needing a great, caring dentist and his staff. They love supporting their communities as well. The dental practice is indeed Top-Notch!

A very capable and attentive team and practice.Im looking forward to bringing the whole family in for our dental care needs.Thanks Thrive Family Dental!

Amazing experience from the minute I walked in. Everyone is so friendly and positive! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new dental practice!

They were the best, so friendly and made me feel comfortable! It’s been a while since I’ve gotten dental work done and it was a judgment free environment. I will definitely be back to get my smile and confidence back!

The team at Thrive Dental is amazing!From setting appointments to reminders -to the welcome you receive and professional care, every step is top of the line!I would highly recommend Thrive Dental to anyone who is looking for a positive experience at the dentist!Jeff Smith

I cannot even begin to tell you how great these people are! And let me just say how awesome Meadow, the trained service dog is. Beautiful office, awesome knowledgeable staff, sweet SWEEEET dog. I cannot recommend them enough. Let me just go ahead and give you an extra star 🌟 . Thank you for the best dental visit ever.

Thanks so much to Jennifer and the entire group! My son is a freshman at UNCW. We live in CT and could do nothing when he had an emergency and needed a dentist ASAP! Since it was a Friday, most were closed. Jennifer went above and beyond! They were able to get him in that morning. And- she called me with updates throughout the entire process. I am so thankful to have found this practice!!

Thrive/Dr Friberg provided excellent dental services and advice that was tailored to my specific needs. They care. I highly recommend them.

I am so delighted with everyone at Thrive Family Dental. Jennifer and Emily at the front desk are kind, clear, and professional. Tracy, the dental assistant who is working with me is considerate and sensitive to my dental phobia. Dr. Bens balance of expertise/professionalism and good humor have made my experience wonderful. Im grateful.As I continue to work with other members of this great team - Anna, Kelsey, - the whole staff - I am more and more grateful for their kindness and patience with me. If you have a fear of dentists - these folks are here to help!

Dr Friberg and staff are awesome and absolutely love Meadow ❣️

I found Thrive Dental to be very professional and friendly. I admire Dr. Fribergs honesty in what type of dental care is needed. You are treated with respect, staff explaining to you what steps are being done throughout your appointment.

One word for this dental office...WOW!!! I found my new dentist in Wilmington!!! From Emily at the front desk , to Debra my awesome hygienist, to the amazingly friendly and knowledgeable Dr. Ben Friberg, to Meadow the beautiful service dog, and finally Jennifer in billing , whose kindness and smile made this experience magical. Can you say magical about a dental office?You can if it’s Thrive Family Dental.

I cannot thank everyone at Thrive enough for making me feel comfortable and helping me through my anxiety during my visit. I am so glad I picked this practice!
