"My business of 25 years is dealing directly with the public. Never have I been to any office anywhere that is so happy and professional. From the moment you walk in, Through your entire visit, it was so lovely and welcoming. Loved dr Pat. Super friendly! Very happy to find to find this office and my new Dentist."
"Always a pleasant experience! Dental hygienist is always patient, thorough and thoughtful. I am always smiling when I leave. If you are considering a new dentist. Emigh Dental Care Team are top notch!"
"Needed to find an in-network dentist and EMIGH’s was suggested. Had a through exam with X-rays and cleaning. I had fallen recently and was concerned about the fall affecting my front teeth. Dr, Pat and Manny took extra care to ensure my teeth were A-OK!"
"Emigh Dental care is a fantastic practice. From the warm greeting ( Thank you, Elaine) to the superb service ( Thank you, Tammy) to the friendly faces of Dr. Todd and Dr. Pat, every visit is an absolute pleasure. Many thanks for another great visit and continuous care for my teeth to keep them healthy and bright!"
"Finding a new dentist can be a challenge, especially after moving to a new area or when your previous dentist sells their practice. Fortunately, Emigh Dental Care has made that process easy for me. With three outstanding dentists, supported by a great office staff, dental assistants, and hygienists, I’ve received the highest level of care here and couldn’t be more grateful. Although Emigh Dental Care is out-of-network for my Delta Dental PPO, which means I pay upfront and get reimbursed later, the care my family and I have received is well worth the additional cost. This is hands down the best dental practice we’ve ever been to. Dr. Todd Emigh Dr. Todd was the first dentist I saw, and I now consider him my primary dentist. He’s fantastic—friendly, easy to talk to, and great at explaining things in a way that puts you at ease. He is also highly skilled at diagnosing and treating both simple and complex dental issues. On multiple occasions, CSULB students interested in dentistry have--with my permission--observed my appointments, and I’ve seen firsthand how Dr. Todd is a natural teacher. Before and after the appointments, he took time to answer the students' questions and explain the procedures, which was impressive to watch. Dr. Pat Emigh Earlier this year, I met with Dr. Pat for a tooth that was causing pain and gum inflammation. While his personality is more direct and to the point compared to his brother Todd, he’s equally skilled and precise in his care. He recommended I see a root canal specialist, and I initially chose a different one. After a less-than-ideal experience with the specialist I selected, I returned to the one Dr. Pat had recommended, and the consultation and procedure went perfectly, just as he had predicted. Dr. Wong Dr. Wong has been equally wonderful. I saw her for follow-up care related to the root canal recommended by Dr. Pat. She is friendly, thorough, and very detailed in her work. Like Dr. Todd and Dr. Pat, she is highly skilled and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Although I’ve made a strong connection with Dr. Todd and prefer to see him regularly, I’m confident that all three dentists—Dr. Pat and Dr. Wong included—provide exceptional care. If Dr. Todd isn’t available, I would have no hesitation in seeing either of them again. Dental Hygienist – Katrina I also have to give a special shout-out to Katrina, the fantastic dental hygienist I see for my regular 6-month cleanings. She’s thorough yet gentle, making the cleaning process smooth and comfortable. Plus, Katrina’s friendly personality and knack for sharing funny and interesting stories always make the time fly by. Thanks to her, my cleanings are not just painless, but actually enjoyable. The office itself is modern, clean, and equipped with the latest technology. It’s clear that they prioritize staying up-to-date with the newest procedures, techniques, and tools in the field of dentistry. While it can be more costly for us to receive care at an out-of-network provider, the quality of service and care we’ve experienced at Emigh Dental Care has been worth every penny. There’s a saying that "you get what you pay for," but in this case, I believe we’re getting even more."
"Always a wonderful experience at Emigh dental. I can’t say how much I enjoy and trust the entire staff. Very professional and always do a fabulous job. Weird to say that I “enjoy going to the dentist”"
"My appointment was for a dental cleaning and check up. The appointment was on time. Everyone on staff was courteous, professional, efficient, and caring. From the front desk, the dental technician, and Dr. Pat! Thanks for great dental care! Sheryl B."
"The dentists and hygienists are always professional. Best dental group I have ever used. Friendly staff at front desk also. I highly recommend Emigh Dental Care in Long Beach."
"I can't recommend Emigh Dental enough! My experience has consistently been wonderful. My family and I genuinely love this place. My kids used to dread dental visits, but that’s completely changed. The warm and knowledgeable staff make every appointment enjoyable, turning what used to be a stressful experience into something they look forward to. It’s clear that great customer service is a priority here. After visiting numerous dental offices, I can confidently say Emigh Dental is above and beyond the rest. Thank you to the entire Emigh Dental team for making our visits so positive!"
"After seeing many different dentists and never being completely satisfied with my care, I was beyond thrilled to have safely landed in the capable hands of Emigh Dental Care! Everything from dental implants to invisalign has been a breeze! I recommend them to everyone I know in the area. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give them. Thank you for being the best of the best! I appreciate this office so much!"
"Emigh Dental is my favorite dental practice ever! The practice is run professionally and smoothly, with each person bringing unique skills to their role. Together, they deliver an exceptional experience! My hygienist is Amber and I sincerely look forward to seeing her every 6 months. She is personable and very thorough and gentle in completing my cleaning. Dr. Pat and Dr. Todd are a dynamic dental duo! My husband and I have experienced several recent dental surprises and under the skillful guidance of Dr. Todd and Dr. Pat, we have been treated and restored to pain-free and wholly normal dental condition. Despite moving 70-miles away from Long Beach, we remain with Emigh Dental because they deliver exceptional care."
"An absolutely wonderful Dentist Clinic! All the staff were amazing but these were the people I had the privilege meeting. Stephanie at the front was very kind and thorough with explanation about the process and what forms were needed as a new patient. Andrea is amazing and taught me how to take care of my dental hygiene and Dr. Pat gave the best recommendations on how to take better care of my dental health moving forward 10/10 recommend!"
"Been a client for more than six years and the team at Emigh Dental Care are top-notch professionals. They make going to the dentist a positive experience."

And Dr. Pat is so friendly and is very good at explaining everything in detail. I completely trust him and will only go to him! I highly recommend Emigh Dental Care!"
"Today, I was in for a cleaning and quick check-up. Tammy is the hygienist who took care of my teeth today, and Dr Pat came in to say hello. And do a quick inspection. Going to Emigh Dental Care is like going to visit friends and family. Always great care, always glad to see them!"
"Every time every one is so professional. It is a pleasure. Bailey is a great hygienist!! Doctor Pat and Doctor Todd are always providing top notch care. The Front Desk Team are sharp and always prepared to assist me with my requests."
"I’ve been going to Emigh Dental Care for almost 20 years. I started with Dr. Bob, wife Anne was my hygienist and now I’m with son, Dr. Patrick. I always get expert and honest advice. And receive excellent dental work. They are top notch professionals!"
"Dr. Todd and Dr. Pat are amazing at their work and I have only the highest regard for them both. I have always felt like family when I'm there, the kind of family you want to be around. lol Simply the kindest staff and great attitudes. Thank you for taking care of me so well."
"Once again, a thoroughly satisfying appointment. The routine cleaning was rigorous and comprehensive. Thanks Manny. I have been going to Emigh Dental office for more that 25 years. No need to explain why. They do a great job. I love my dentist."
"I have been a patient of Emigh Dental Care for 20 years. They offer a wide range of services that benefit my entire family, from general cleaning to orthodontia and in-between. The level of care and expertise out perform any other dental provider I have been to. I recommend them to everyone I meet. From the front office staff, to the hygienist's all the way to the doctor's themselves, everyone is incredibly kind and professional. I trust them with all my families dental needs."
"Always nice and efficient service, thank you to the front office staff. I feel comfortable and in good hands with any of the hygienists. Bailey and Manny are two favorites. Dr. Wendy Wong is extremely kind. I would highly recommend Dr. Emigh’s office. I have dentist office anxiety from a previous dentist’s mishap and when replacing my bridge several years ago Dr. Pat was very patient with me and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way."
"I just had my first appointment with Emigh Dental Care. They are personable and professional, and I would recommend them highly. The place has a family vibe, and everyone I encountered made me feel like I was in good hands."
"Emigh Dental is great. I used to fear the dentist (childhood traumas from having a dentist who could have starred in "Little Shop of Horrors"), but now I actually look forward to having my teeth cleaned -- seriously! -- and don't worry if I need something else done. Love Emigh and everyone who works there."
"For as long as I've had teeth, I've been going to this dentist office. For over 40 years, and through successive generations of the Emigh family, they've treated my loved ones and me to the finest dental care around. I cannot recommend them higher--they're the best around!"
"In about 2007, we moved into Long Beach and were sent a flyer in the mail about the expansion of a dental practice with a son joining his proud father. That was our introduction to Dr. Pat, and we've been happy patients since that time. After an out of state absence and a few dental practices later, we are especially grateful to have returned to this great office. Andrea will, i'm sure, get our teeth up to her standards again. You can't go wrong with Emigh Dental!"
"The Emigh dental practice is top notch in every factor a patient a needs and wants: 1. True dental and oral medical expertise 2. Latest technology in equipment for diagnostics and procedures 3. Conservative, pragmatic approach to care based on actual patient issues. 4. Diligent review of patient’s records and ongoing care at every appointment 5. Environment: tranquil, stress free.

"I have been going to Emigh Dental Care for over 20 plus years now. They are the best. They treat you like Family. They have always been gracious and kind during my treatments and Emergency teeth problems. They are experienced, professional and caring. Got to meet Dr.Wang and she was amazing also. A great edition to the Emigh Dental office."
"The doctors and staff are people with a lot of knowledge about their profession. Bayley the hygienist provides me with many tips on how to care for my teeth. I highly recommend Emigh Dental for the care of your teeth."
"Staff was friendly and my exam and cleaning was a piece of cake. I know I have a lot of dental work to get done and Dr Pat was very clear of the best course of action to get the important work done first then move on to things that are less concerning. No pressure, just best interests of their patients. Great place!"

We bought their insurance and very very pleased with our purchase!@ Jane Mannfolk Kevin Wyrauch /Redondo Bch Dec 23rd 2023 Went in for what I thought was my implant,.wrong!

Let me backtrack..I was so nervous 4 months ago having an implant I'd convinced myself I needed something to calm me down. Major drugs.lol Dr pat himself called me..explained procedure .asked a few simple questions., completly put me at ease I went in for what I thought would be painful appoinment and I'm here to put in writing it was effortless!! Dr Emigh was so gentle.. through .explained everything he was doing, .the procedure to ready my gum for an implant took less than an hr and I didn't feel a thing!!

"Best densest place I’ve been to! Super friendly and I could feel the honesty. Some places just try to get as much money out of people even if they don’t need certain work done on their teeth. My previous experiences have been that! At Emigh dental it was the total opposite: Very very, very, very very professional and caring. Thank you, Regina, Lisa and Dr. Todd."

"The staff at Emigh Dental Care is spectacular. I was really nervous to even make an appointment but everyone I talked to was so gentle and patient! All three staff members I interacted with were equally informed and answered every question I had with absolute delight in their voice. Stephanie at the front desk was especially helpful and guided me through the procedure and every question I didn’t think to ask about my insurance. Best dentist in Long Beach :)"
"The staff and doctors at Emigh Dental Care are so profession, personable, and kind. I was fortunate enough to have a dentist that I loved growing up but I had very low expectations of ever finding another office where I felt as comfortable and confident in the care as I do with Emigh. So grateful to have found them!"
"I saw Dr. Wong, her assistant Gina and dental hygienist Manny. Dr. Wong did the most comprehensive dental exam I've ever had. She went over my medical history with me and addressed any concerns. Her assistant Gina was sweet and efficient. She did a great job taking x-rays. The dental hygienist was methodical and friendly. The staff at Emigh Dental were so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend them for any dental needs."

I love the way he always tells me in advance what he is going to do I always feel taken care of and welcome! Thank you All!"
"Once again, a thoroughly satisfying appointment. The routine cleaning was rigorous and comprehensive. Thanks Manny. And, the exam was completed promptly with positive results. Thanks Dr. Pat. I have been going to Emigh Dental office for more that 20 years. No need to explain why. They do a great job. I love my dentist."
"I love the excellent care Emigh Dental Care provides. My wonderful Hygienist makes sure my mouth is numbed before cleaning as I am extremely sensitive to any and all procedures! Dr. Pat always comes in at the end and checks for any signs of distress in the mouth and I always walk away feeling totally cared for! :) Mary Espinosa Goff :)"
"I always enjoy my visits. I’m made to feel comfortable and at ease. My wife has a lot of anxiety around dental offices and Emigh Dental Care is the first place in a long time where she trusts the dentists and staff and feels like she is able to relax more because of it."
"If you are a person that has anxiety and/or fear of the Dental Process, Come Here! They are kind, friendly and listen carefully to your concerns. Such a great team!!!

"I went in today for an every-six-months cleaning. As always, all the staff and my dental technician were friendly, cheerful, and efficient. The cleaning was the best I've ever had, with minimal discomfort, and the technician and I had interesting conversations about my life's goings-on, and hers, as she worked. And their prices are very reasonable. I always recommend Emigh to my friends who are looking for a good dentist, and they end up, in turn, recommending them to their friends. They are simply the best dentists I've ever had."
"Been going to Emigh for roughly 5 years. Never a bad experience. Always leave with a clean mouth and no questions unanswered. Thank you Emigh and thank you to my dental hygienist for always doing a great job and letting me pick my polish flavor."

I appreciate you very much!"
"Upbeat atmosphere and friendly, professional staff. Just had my teeth cleaned by Katryna and my teeth felt squeaky clean afterwards. I normally tense up when I sit in a dentist chair, but was relaxed the whole time, largely due to Katryna's calm demeanor. Glad I found Emigh Dental."
"I've been a patient at the Emigh Dental over 49 years. I started with Dentist Bob, then his son Pat. They are the best dentists in Long Beach, and use state-of-the-art equipment. The staff are always friendly, and helpful. Dentistry at it's best. They take away the fear and dread going to the dentist. I refer all my friends to the Emighs' Dental. Always painless."
"I have been going to Emigh Dental Care for about 40 years. I started with Father Emigh and am seeing his sons. My Hygienist, Tammy is just awesome.She does a fantastic job cleaning my teeth. Elaine is always so pleasant when I call and helpful when I need assistance. Great Dental Office."
"I’ve been a patient of Dr Pat and Emigh dental since 2017. Dr Pat restored my confidence in dentists and my teeth, both of which were in bad shape back then. I’m forever grateful for that. Office staff is efficient and very pleasant. I haven’t had any problems getting my questions answered or calls returned. Lastly, I love getting my teeth cleaned by Amber. She is popular but worth waiting for. Always puts me at ease when I sit in her chair."
"I love my experiences at Emigh Dental. From check-in to cleaning to the exam by the dentist, each interaction is friendly, professional, and warm. We highly recommend them to everyone!"

"I've been wanting to get my silver fillings replaced for some time now and finally decided to do it at Emigh Dental. I am so happy I did because it was such an easy, painless appointment! Dr. Todd was so considerate to numb me just the right amount so that it can wear off later in the day in time for work. My new tooth-colored fillings match so well with my natural teeth, I am very happy with the quality of work that was done on me. Highly recommend Emigh Dental!"
"I cannot say enough GREAT things about Dr. Pat and the staff at Emigh Dental. I’ve had bad experiences in the past where dentists are not very personable and/or shame you for what you haven’t done or what you need to do. You won’t get that here. They explain everything and it’s your call in the end. I’ve needed an implant for a few years but was too scared and wanted to hang on to my loose tooth (?!) as long as I could. I finally had to face up to the procedure and started the process today. Dr. Pat extracted two teeth (my other one was loose as well), inserted the post, gave me my “flipper” and I was on my way until my follow up appointment. But...not until I cried in the chair after everything was finished telling him how GRATEFUL I was to him! He talked me through everything before he started, was not rushed, made sure I was comfortable throughout and kept everything lighthearted as well. I am so thankful I found this office - the staff truly cares about the patient experience - from the front desk to the dental chair. Thank you Dr. Pat, Karen, Jade (the best hygienist around!), Dr. Allyson, Elaine, Amy and the rest of the staff that always makes me feel as comfortable as can be when visiting a dentist! So, so grateful!!"

"When I called only two days prior to my scheduled appointment to request a different date, Emigh's front office (Elaine) delighted me by getting me in a day EARLIER! On this visit, I experienced a hygienist who had not worked on my mouth before. She did an excellent job. Just one more of many Emigh Dental Care practitioners who have been consistently gentle and effective for years. Dr. Pat was swell, as usual. Happily, there was no bad news for him to deliver! That has been typical since Emigh Dental Care helped me get my mouth to peak health many years ago. They have helped me to continuously improve it for many years since."
"Jade is a wonderful dental hygienist! She is professional and friendly. She encourages rather than lecture patients to improve their own dental hygiene practices, like flossing."
"I have been coming to this dental office for over 10 years. They have an upscale feel to their atmosphere. The massage chairs, personal tv, and environment is all catered to making their patients feel comfortable. I really enjoy the staff and the excellent service they provide. My mouth always feel great and the issue I go in for is always resolved. They also give free gifts to take home, which is a sweet gesture. I recommend this office to many of my friends and they all enjoy being a patient here as well."
