"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."

"I went in for a cleaning and exam. As always everyone was friendly and efficient, including Manny, who did my X-rays and cleaning. He is very thorough too. 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!"
"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!"
"I will just say this: I am a nervous patient when it comes to dentists. Everyone here is very nice and professional. Dr Todd and staff made me feel comfortable throughout every appointment from cavities, deep cleanings and crowns. I am ready to start my invisilign journey with them !"
"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."

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! It was to check on the progress of my gum with the implant stem. What a thorough exam to just check the gum on step 2 of a 3 part process ! 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!! The tooth that required an impant had been worked by another dentist my former insurance covered. Forget it..Id rather drive to Emigh Dental care , pay for superior care and peace of mind knowing my teeth are seen by a damm good dental practice!!

"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."
"As a very long time Emigh Dental Care patient, I'm happy to share that the care I receive here continues to be the very best. I've recommended the Emighs to friends and without exception, they have agreed with me. The entire staff is professional, thorough and compassionate. Communication with patients and among staff members is excellent and so appreciated."
"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!!! From the exam to the cleaning was such a smooth process. I am so happy I was referred to them and look forward to coming back! Thank you Emigh Dental!"
"Never a bad visit at Emigh. Staff is polite and knowledgeable. Hygienist was professional and provided a great cleaning experience. I don’t look forward to any dental visit but I come pretty close to that with Emigh Dental."
"I have been going to Emigh Dental Care for over 15 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."
"Every time I go to Emigh Dental Care it is a pleasant experience, even when I don't like going to the dentist. All the staff are very friendly and excellent service. Thank you!!!"
"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."
"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 are top notch."
"I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Todd and Emigh Dental Care. From the moment you walk into this office, you are greeted with kindness from the front office staff all the way through your visit. Dr Todd is not only a fantastic Dentist, he is kind and gentle and you can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients. He takes the time to answer your questions and explains everything so you can make informed decisions about your dental care. Thank you so much Dr Todd and Emigh Dental Care. I appreciate you very much!"
"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."
"Went to this dentist as a result of a dental emergency while visiting in Long Beach. Office atmosphere was pleasant. Staff very empathetic and made every effort to ensure that I was comfortable. Dr. Todd was very easy to talk to.and clearly explained what needed to be done. I would absolutely recommend."
"From the moment I entered, I felt the welcome and professionalism of the staff. Manny did a great cleaning, and Dr. Todd dropped by to check - in."
"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!"
"Great staff and great care. Emigh Dental Care is the best and we couldn't be happier. They are highly recommended."
"Dr. Todd did an excellent job repairing my tooth. Also, Louis was extremely helpful and carefully explained to me the process. All in all, it was a very positive experience and I am grateful for their skill & excellence. Thank you Emigh Dental Care,"
"Today, I was seen by Dr Todd Emigh for a filling. It all went well and comfortably . Emigh Dental Care is the best!"
"Today was cleaning day, Amber is always so pleasant, thorough and gentle. Everyone at Emigh Dental Care is awesome"
"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!"
"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."
"Emigh Dental Care changed my life. I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Todd. I went in a few years ago for a 6 month smiles consultation with Dr. Pat. Based on what I wanted he suggested I go for Invisalign instead with Dr. Todd and that's exactly what I did. 2 years later I had straight teeth and a newfound confidence with my smile. Their office is extremely welcoming and they will remember you each time. I also appreciate how they have a separate little room where they go over all your financial options with you. All their equipment seems to be in great shape if not brand new and the chairs are more comfortable than any other dentist I've been to. If you don't have any insurance it can be a little pricey, but I think the experience is well worth the cost. Although I don't go here anymore since I moved too far away to make trips to Long Beach convenient, I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great dentist."
"We love Dr. Pat Emigh and all of the staff at Emigh dental care! My son just had 3 stubborn baby teeth extracted and Dr. Emigh walked him through the whole process so nicely! My son knew what to expect and that made such a difference. Thank you for a good (!) tooth extraction experience!!! Dr. Pat is so good with our kids and now he sees our entire family! I'd give 6 stars if it was an option!"
"Went back for my daughter's 2nd ever cleaning and we're still impressed! Bailey is such a patient hygienist and didn't mind giving my wiggle worm lots of gentle encouragement. I can't believe how long my daughter sat still and followed directions in that chair! SUPER BONUS: the Emighs host a Santa event at the office! We went today (a Sunday morning) and got free pictures with Santa, ate fresh baked cookies, and made homemade pictures frames. What a nice event for the community (you don't have to be a patient to attend)."
"Been seeing Dr Emigh and now his sons and Tammy since 1993 when I retired from Air Force. They are the best. Have had root canals a tooth pulled because it cracked, caps put on and all done in professional manner and pain free. Tammy's been great she kept my gums from getting diseased, let's me know when I need to get on the rubber tip to strengthen my gums and interacts with you in a great way during treatments. The use of technology by the Dr's and Tammy has been very good. Wish the techniques used by the dentist I went to as a kid matched Dr. Emigh's. Never looked forward to those visits lots of pain and anxiety not with Dr.'s Emigh and Tammy."
"I had such a great experience here! It had been years since I had gone to a dentist, so I was very nervous but the staff at Emigh Dental Care was amazing! The doctor and assisting staff were very gentle with my teeth. I didn't feel any pain during my exam or cleaning. I'm so happy to have found a dental office that I trust and enjoy."
"Still five stars!! Finished my Invisiline treatment today as scheduled. Picked up retainers and was given final pics. Gap in front feet is gone! Yaaay! If you're in the LA/Long Beach area I highly recommend. Two of my other friends got Invisiline with other dentists and weren't happy with the results. So glad Dr. Todd and his staff were able to give me a better experience. Next appointment will be with Dr. Pat for annual check-up and I'm looking forward to it! With such caring, happy people serving you, it's fun to go to the dentist!!"
"The front staff at Emigh Dental Care is very friendly and welcoming. There's even water and apple juice while you wait. The waiting room is open and comfy! There's also ample parking in the parking structure! I had my first examination with Dr. Reel today. She was warm, open and friendly! Freddy, the DA escorted me back to the exam room and explained everything thoroughly. I did share that I was worried about my teeth because I haven't had dental care in about 3 years (no dental insurance). After 3 years with no dental care, I have just 1 cavity. After seeing Dr. Reel, Freddy took me to see hygienist, Tammy. Like Dr. Reel, Tammy was warm and friendly. She explained all the things that were to come for my cleaning and the importance of flossing. On 9/17 my 2 year old son and husband saw Dr. Todd. Dr. Todd thoroughly answered all our questions re: jaw surgery for my husband and referred him to an orthodontist. Although my 2 year old son didn't cooperate by opening his mouth, Dr. Todd was able to entertain and make my son feel comfortable. Maybe next time, Dr. Todd will get to take a look at my son's teeth. I look forward to getting my cavity fixed and my next cleaning. Thanks Emigh Dental Care!"
"This was my first visit to Emigh and I am VERY pleased with them. My other dentist retired and I wanted to find a new dental care I could call home. Well I have found it! Amber took X-rays and cleaned my teeth, she was awesome great cleaning and conversation. Then Dr. Emigh came in reviewed my X-rays with me, checked out my teeth, and performed the preventative mouth cancer screening test. I felt very well taken care of and welcomed. I tried them based off of all their wonderful Yelp reviews and am grateful I did...Emigh Dental Care lives up to all their 5 Star reviews!!!!"
"I cannot say enough about the special attention & care provided to our family by Emigh Dental Care. They are excellent! My husband and our two children ages 8 & 4 years have all received care here. After a "pediatric" dentist held my daughter down to perform a dental exam and made her hysterical, I decided to take my children to the same dentist I had come to trust for my own care. Emigh provides complete care with compassion and skill. My children LOVE their trips to the dentist now. They really know what they're doing."
"I have been going to this dental group for about 2 years now and have had such a pleasant experience every time. The support staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I have never had to wait to get my teeth cleaned or see my dentist. My dentist, Dr. Todd is amazing. I have had a few procedures performed by him and he is so gentle my teeth never hurt! He is honest and trustworthy and goes out of his way to help me and my family. My dental hygienist, Amber is so thorough and friendly and is also extremely gentle with my teeth cleaning. She is efficient and personable. I can't thank this group enough for all they have done for me and my family!"
"Broke a veneer recently & made an appt. @ Emigh Dental based on all the positive reviews - the reviews don't lie - this office is great & Dr. Todd is just the best! Ended up having him replace all 6 of my prior veneers + do 2 more. The difference between my 'old' (if 7 years is old) & new veneers is like night & day! Huge relief to have found such a talented dentist - HIGHLY recommended!"
"I love coming to Emigh Dental Care! Such great service and all the staff are wonderful! A special thanks to Bailey who always dose my cleanings. She is the best dental hygienist I have ever had-very caring, knowledgeable and always dose a wonderful job while working on my teeth."
"Late review: I called in December to get an appointment for an exam; the lady that helped schedule the appointment was wonderful and squeezed me in pretty quickly. Exam - I met Dr. Bob Emigh (it is a family business with Dr. Bob and his two sons!) and he was very calming and reassuring about the needed steps to resolve a few dental issues. I walked in feeling embarrassed, and walked out feeling reassured that I came to the right spot to get my teeth back up to par. Current Review: Today, I had an early appointment with Dr. Pat for a root canal. I'm not usually nervous, but I was feeling a bit nervous before the procedure started. Dr. Pat and his assistant, Aracely (sorry if I spelled that wrong) were both so friendly, comforting and really knew what they were doing. Each step was explained throughout the procedure and care was taken to ensure my comfortability before the next step had begun. Once Dr. Pat was finish, Jeanette (Again, I'm sorry if I spelled that wrong) came in to assist Aracely in taking impressions for my permanent crown, and getting the temporary crown on and set. Every person I've met from Emigh is so friendly, and you can really feel the family business vibe throughout the office. From making an appointment, to sitting in the chair, to the billing at the end; Emigh Dental Care is top notch. Questions are always answered thoroughly and promptly, and the care they give is like nothing I've ever experienced at the Dentist office."

"Don't judge a dentist office by its exterior. Cloaked in an aging facade, it's a real gem inside. Not only is the office tastefully decorated, it's filled with warmth, and not just the thermodynamic kind. It's full of human kindness, and you can feel it the moment you step inside. I found out that Dr. Pat and Dr. Todd aren't just amazing soccer coaches (Coach Pat was an inspiration for my son), they are top-notch dentists as well. The office workflow was streamlined and efficient, but not in a impersonal way. There was no delay for my appointment, and I know how hard that can be, because medical care is always unpredictable. I was showered with kindness and respect, and felt very much at ease the entire time. The appointment also did not feel rushed. I signed up for Invisalign, and I look forward to a set of straight teeth that won't exacerbate my TMJ."

"My mom and I both went to dr Emigh for years before moving - It just got too far with traffic to get there and home with reasonable hours. My cleanings were always great and I never felt pressured to do unnecessary work."
"I didn't think I could love this office more, but I was wrong. My toddler's teeth had become suddenly and severely stained from a course of antibiotics. I brought him in for his first appointment to see if the staining could be polished away. He's not particularly cooperative with brushing at home (or with anything, for that matter!), so we had realistic expectations of how this cleaning would go. My son saw Dr Todd for this special appointment. Dr Todd was fantastic with my son. He explained everything that was going on and made it fun and silly. He connected with my son and tuned out everything else. It was amazing seeing my wriggly uncooperative toddler smile a huge smile and sit HAPPILY for his cleaning! We've been coming here for years and absolutely adore these people- Elaine and Crystal at the front desk, Drs Pat and Todd, and especially our beloved hygienist Tammy. This is a class act. You won't regret coming here. And, although this isn't a true pediatric dentistry office, Drs Pat and Todd and hygienist Tammy have proven themselves to be top notch with little kids. My older child absolutely adores Tammy."

"This review is a bit late, but when taking into consideration my experience, it's NEVER too late to visit the dentist!I found Emigh Dental by googling sedation dentistry. My fear of the dentist knew no bounds. It had been 8-9 years since I last visited a dental office and my mouth literally reached a breaking point. Hence my google search for sedation dentistry. I contacted them via email and their office responded promptly. They verified that they do take my insurance and squeezed me in for a 12/30/16 appointment to take advantage of my insurance that would be entering a new policy phase on Jan 1.After panicking for a week, I attended the dentist office alone. The reception was nice, but as I was in a panicked daze, I didn't really take note. Karen took me to the back and took my x-rays. She was incredibly nice and reassuring. She listened to my story about my fears and put me at ease.Dr. Pat then came in for the examination. He was warned that I was a fearful patient. He sat down and just spoke to me. He listened to my story, my childhood trauma of the dentist, what was bothering me currently. This exchange made the best possible first impression with me. He explained everything he would be doing in the examination and repeated several times he would not hurt me.Exam done, and the verdict was not unexpected but daunting to say the least. To put it mildly, I must have seen Dr. Pat at least six times afterwards to complete my treatment. Dr. Pat explained my options, and his recommendations. I had two cavities, two root canals, two crown preps, and a wisdom tooth pulled. Dr. Pat did not do my root canals, fyi, as they were fairly complicated but referred me to an endodontist.After 5 months or so, I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Pat for several things. He never shamed me for not seeking treatment earlier. His fillings are the first fillings I ever had done that did not hurt for weeks afterwards. He addressed my fears, promised to stop if I ever did feel any pain, and is a pleasant person overall. Best of all, I can eat food again. I can finally say I found my dentist.A few more details: the reception is great! Thank you to Elaine and team for being efficient and nice to boot. My cleaning was painless. They offer nitrous oxide for an extra fee for certain treatments. Nitrous oxide calmed my nerves down and made it possible for me to have certain treatments done. The office never tried to upsell me any service. And their dental chairs have built in massagers!"
"This review is a bit late, but when taking into consideration my experience, it's NEVER too late to visit the dentist! I found Emigh Dental by googling sedation dentistry. My fear of the dentist knew no bounds. It had been 8-9 years since I last visited a dental office and my mouth literally reached a breaking point. Hence my google search for sedation dentistry. I contacted them via email and their office responded promptly. They verified that they do take my insurance and squeezed me in for a 12/30/16 appointment to take advantage of my insurance that would be entering a new policy phase on Jan 1. After panicking for a week, I attended the dentist office alone. The reception was nice, but as I was in a panicked daze, I didn't really take note. Karen took me to the back and took my x-rays. She was incredibly nice and reassuring. She listened to my story about my fears and put me at ease. Dr. Pat then came in for the examination. He was warned that I was a fearful patient. He sat down and just spoke to me. He listened to my story, my childhood trauma of the dentist, what was bothering me currently. This exchange made the best possible first impression with me. He explained everything he would be doing in the examination and repeated several times he would not hurt me. Exam done, and the verdict was not unexpected but daunting to say the least.

"Have been going to Emigh Dental Care for over 30 years. There is Dr. Bob, Dr. Patrick, & Dr. Todd. Love the staff: friendly, caring, thoughtful, and professional. Love TAMMY who is my hygienist. AGAIN: caring, professional, fun, & insightful, It's always easy & painless to go to these dentists and hygienists."
"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."
"Amazing experience, went to another Dentist 6 months that tried to upsell me on deep cleaning and didnt tell me whether or not I had cavities. Dr. Todd and staff exceeded my expectations, professional, ethical and exceptional customer service...Thanks Tammy for recommending to come in."

"My experience was very pleasant! Everyone I spoke to was extremely welcoming and comforting. You definitely get the family feel when you are in the Emigh office and it makes you feel right at home. I had great conversations and left the office laughing. I would definitely recommend Emigh Dental care to anyone in the LB area!"
"I cannot say enough good things about Emigh Dental Care. All of the dentists and staff are extremely kind and professional. Patients are always greeted with smiles and called by their first names. The inside is beautifully decorated and absolutely immaculate. Also, THERE IS NEVER A WAIT. I have never had to wait more than five minutes for ANY of my appointments. I have come here for implant crowns, whitening, and basic checkups. Dr. Emigh always patiently explains all details of every procedure. It is very clear how much he cares that his patients understand everything and only receive treatments that they truly want. They will NEVER pressure you. This is by far the best experience I have ever had at any dentist office. I would highly recommend them!"
"Went in for a sleep apnea test and the entire process was easy, convenient and stress free. What an amazing experience at Emigh Dental! Great doctors, great staff, beautiful modern office. Dr. Todd is awesome, highly recommended!"
"I have been going to this dentist for nearly 38 years, and I enjoy seeing them! Yesterday I had to get prepped for my first crown, and for the the first time ever, I was a bit nervous. Pat and his crew were very comforting and got the job done with no pain at all! I then was lucky enough to get into a root canal specialist that Dr Emigh recommended, and again was very nervous. They did the root canal without pain and I was expecting to have some sort of discomfort today from all the work that was done. I surprisingly woke up with very very little soreness! Nothing an Aleave couldn't handle! I hope I don't need to have anymore in the future, but if I do, I know what to expect! Excellent job to the Emigh crew!"
"I've always been impressed with my experience at Emigh Dental Care. I'm usually seen at or shortly after my appointment time - the staff is very thorough and caring with their service."
"I came to Dr. Emigh over forty years ago and was so afraid of the pain that I would tear up for no apparent reason but anxiety and fear. He and Andrea and all the staff have made my life better. My health is better, my fears are gone and I feel like I am part of a wonderful team (family) of professionals that really care about me, my family and my health. You are truly blessed if someone turns you on to Emigh Dental Care."
"Initially, I made an appointment in August to find out more about night guards because I was clenching my teeth and experiencing a lot of pain as a result. Dr. Todd and his assistant(can't remember her name but she's awesome!) were thorough in their exam and explanation of options that would best suit my needs. To make a long story short, they fitted me for a mouth guard that is amazing! I do not sleep without it and my pain is gone. I liked Dr. Todd and everyone in the office so much I decided to switch dentists and am really happy with my choice. I had my cleaning and exam today. My hygienist, Amber, was friendly and explained what she was doing and why. She did a great job cleaning my teeth! Dr. Todd and his assistant Karen were very friendly and I felt at ease under their care. I also like that everyone in the office takes their profession seriously and want the best for their patients. Did I mention how great the front office is? They are always friendly and helpful. I'm so happy I found this dentist! All around great experience every time I have had an appointment."

"A co-worker recommended Emigh Dental Care and she has been going to them for a while; her smile is pretty awesome too. But since my first visit, I can't imagine trusting anyone else to upkeep my smile. I've been going to Emigh Dental Care for a while now. Truthfully, I can't remember when I started going to them because it feels like forever. Not only is it a family run dentistry but they also treat you like family which is probably why I may have lost track of time. Everyone in the office always has a smile on their face and they always greet you when you walk through the door. I enjoy that they can pull up your last visit or your first visit when they are trying to track the progress of your cleanings and sorts. Unfortunately, I have gotten a scolding for not following instructions (well deserved since it was my fault for not listening) but I know when that happens, they care. I had a deep cleaning where I needed a shot or two and I let me tell you, it wasn't as horrible as some people make it out to be. It's not horrible at all but that's my opinion. In all, I would recommend this office to all of my friends especially those who fear the dentist."

"I love these guys! I went to random dentist offices for 10+ years because I was never satisfied with the people/service. My first experience with the Emighs was a consultation for veneers and I knew right away I would never need to look for another dentist. Firstly, the front office staff are outstanding. They always know me by name and are always on top of every detail. My primary doctor is Dr. Todd, the youngest of the three Emighs. He is excellent. You can tell he has a passion for the family business and he really loves what he does. And finally, I've had the pleasure of working with several hygienists and assistants and they're all really good. I rarely write reviews but this group definitely deserves acknowledgement for the service I've received over the past three years."
"Dr Todd is great. The office staff are all incredibly friendly, as are the dental hygienists. I am incredibly happy with my invisalign, and I'm happy to have found a dentist I can regularly visit for check ups."
"I am really happy to say that despite a crazy fear of dentistry, I had a really good experience with Emigh Dental Care this morning. From the first phone call to Emigh, I was reassured by the staff that they would take great care of me, and because of that first phone call, I made an appt with them. I got a consultation and x-rays as well as a teeth cleaning. I have to have my wisdom teeth pulled and a cavity filled. Dr. Pat was extremely thorough in explaining everything and very reassuring. Andrea did my cleaning and talked me through the whole thing. Overall, I'm as happy as you can be going to the dentist, and I know I will be continuing my care here. The staff is so receptive and accommodating!"

"Another great experience! Jade was my hygienist and she did an excellent job. I highly recommend Emigh Dental Care to anyone who's looking for a new dentist."
"So happy our family found this office! I can't say enough about how awesome everyone has been. Yesterday I had a very thorough cleaning from Amber while my daughter had to have two teeth extracted from Dr. Todd. Everyone, I mean everyone in this office is amazing. They were recommended to us by our kids teacher and I highly recommend them to your family. The office is on the 4th floor ( The Penthouse ) and the office is large, clean, updated and very welcoming. There is free parking downstairs in the parking garage."
"Emigh (it sounds like "Amy" to me) Dental Care has all these people named Dr. Emigh that they go by their first names, so I saw Dr. Todd. My referral came from a really happy (picky, finicky, complainy) friend. When I set up the appointment and was asked "when were you last at the dentist?", I went ahead and answered with a shameful "I dunno" and thought they would have a good excuse to need deep cleaning or other expensive procedures. Not at all! I got my teeth cleaned and my new toothbrush and booked a 6 month appointment. The office is fantastic, the staff are professionals and friendly, I felt very taken care of. I won't avoid the dentist anymore."
"I love this place! Great family practice! Ive been going there for 25 years! The office is very nice and inviting, the staff are great and very accommodating (if you need a blanket while they work on your teeth, no problem!) I highly recommend Emigh Dental Care! 🙂"

"If you want great service and a knowledgeable professional staff, then this is the place to go.I like writing up businesses that are family owned and especially ones that do excellent work. I especially like commending them when they actually care about customer service and have a solid foundation of business skills. Emigh Dental Care has my recommendation (and being that I'm so critical and purposely difficult when I'm interviewing people that I will do business with this says a lot). If you like being treated like and individual and not a root canal, then call them.If you want the details read on...My likes......After years of run of the mill dentist, and a hatred for the procedures, I sought after a doctor that not only had the glitz and glam office but the skills. When I went to his office I was surprised on how nicely they had remodeled the top for of the building they lease in ( solid indication of a business that is doing well- a business that to my knowledge doesn't own the building, but it willing to spend money to re-model it because they are in it for the long hall). After being introduced to the admin staff, of which are very very professional, I was given a tour. What did I find on my tour?? Everything you want to see at a dentist office but never do i.e sterilization room, and degrees. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR DENTIST WENT TO SCHOOL?? I do, USC ( and although they are mainly known for football, they are also home to one of the best dental schools in the nation). I was glad to see that they didn't flaunt the Gold and Burgundy, but were proud enough to dedicate a position in the office to display it. In the event you were interested in where the man who is responsible for your smile was educated, you could find it.The staff and a bizarre train of thought for this day and age....The ladies at the front LOVE their work, and when you ask them a question or walk in the door you can tell immediately that this isn't your run of the mill office where everyone wears scrubs.Who closes down their offices for meetings and lunch with staff constantly, so they can discuss patient care and the overall business??This guy! Where most owners would see it as an extra cost to treat there staff to donuts and a loss of a days profit, Dr. Emigh sees it as a necessity, and you can see the difference when you interact with his staff. I can go on and on about this office, who would have thought a dentist would be such a long post, but I'll stop with this....At most offices( in my critical and pay attention to detail train of thought) if I incur a problem, I leave. I feel no need to explain to an office manager why Janice (fictional character) shouldn't be talking about her drunk weekends and boyfriend trouble while I'm waiting to see the doctor. BUT if this ever were to happen ( and believe me ,it wouldn't') at this office I would have no problem writing a complaint or bringing it to their attn. WHY?? because he actually cares and he would remedy the problem.He realizes staff is a direct reflection of him, bot educated and professional, and if he is willing to spare no detail with his staff, then he is willing to spare no detail with you."

"I came to Dr. Emigh last year about a month before my wedding to inquire about getting an "Extreme Makeover" of my teeth. I had bonding for years that was ready to be replaced with some pearly whites. I sat in the chair nervous of course but everyone there made me feel at ease. We discussed the options I had for cosmetic work and I decided that night "LETS DO IT" I was drilled on for hours and got temporary teeth put in until my veneers came from the lab - A DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING! I had the utmost confidence in this dentist, I just had a great feeling about all of them and I was right on! The day before my wedding, I went in and had my veneers "seated" and I couldn't be happier. Everyone in the office said they called the lab almost daily to make sure the lab would deliver the veneers on time. Everyone there is so nice! I don't have Hillary Duff teeth, I have pearly whites that don't look phony. Totally natural feel, look and color. It the best $ I have ever spent! Since the remodel they have massage chairs and flat screen TVs in all the exam rooms. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Emigh's office. For a big chicken like me to go through all that and feel at ease, they have my vote!"
"I've been to Dr. Emigh's office twice in the past two weeks and I think the doc and his office are fantastic. I was no longer happy with my previous dentist and received a postcard in the mail offering free bleach trays and bleach or the 1 hour Zoom whitening for half off, so I thought I would give them a try. The office is like 5 minutes from my house, right next to Cal State LB. They just remodeled the office and had a nice waiting area complete with mini-fridge offering bottled water and apple juice. The dental chairs all have a flat screen TV to watch during procedures, as well as built in back massagers!!! Dr. Emigh works along with his son and both of their wives are hygienists as well. The elder Dr. Emigh wife cleaned my teeth and she did a great job and was really amiable. I need to go back for periodontal cleanings and they do that in office as well. I also had a filling done and Dr. Emigh did a fabulous job. So far I've been really impressed and my hubby also went in for a cleaning/exam with the younger Dr. Emigh and was quite pleased."
