I love helping people improve their oral health whether it is through small or big steps. I take great care and pride in doing the best job that I can to ensure that my patient has an awesome experience but more importantly, leaves more informed and/or with treatment that has helped them.
I especially love meeting and talking to different people that I would normally never have the chance to chat with!
I love to read – mostly fiction/fantasy/some mystery/autobiographies of comedians. I always feel as if I should read more, especially the current popular books but there doesn’t seem to be enough time!
I really love watching cooking shows, especially TopChef, MasterChef Australia, and the Great British Baking Show which actually has helped me discover a love for cooking and baking.
I like plants but I never know if I’m underwatering or overwatering.
I also like all things crafty – I have a lot of supplies for pointed pen calligraphy (just have to get good at it!), crepe paper flower making, jewelry making (would love to learn how to set diamonds in gold), and so many other hobbies I would like to dabble in.

Great and friendly practice, so glad I found them. I have had different hygienists in the past couple of years, mostly by choice due to my own schedule. My latest visit was with Bailey who was absolutely amazing teaching me things about my teeth and mouth that I had never heard and I appreciated the extra attention. Dr. Wong is amazing friendly, knowledgeable and gives personal attention. Minus one star only for the inconvenience that they're not contracted with my dental insurance so I have to pay upfront and they write me a check within about two weeks. Turnaround is great but with a family of four it can be pricey to pre-pay. Worth it for the practice though.
Dr. Wong was quick and professional, I was never uncomfortable. I have had teeth removed many times, and this time was so comfortable I was surprised she had finished.
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.
Met Dema and Dr Wong Learned a few new things about care for my teeth and implants.
Dr. Wong and her assistant did an excellent job with my tooth repair. They also suggested further treatments that would help prevent damage in the future. They definitely have a new patient!
