About Dental Exams
Our family-owned Long Beach dental practice works diligently to provide quality personal care that improves our patient's dental health. During a dental exam, our experienced dentists will be able to assess a patient's condition thoroughly and determine if any kind of dental work is needed. By visiting our office for routine dental exams, patients will not only be upholding their dental health, but also improving it and preventing more severe conditions from occurring. Typically, during this time, we will perform routine dental cleanings as well. Preventative care is key in obtaining optimal oral health. If patients are in need of a cleaning or check-up, they can call our Long Beach, CA office today to schedule a full dental exam.
What to Expect
The dental examination seeks to evaluate the overall health of a patient's teeth, gums, bones, and jaw. During the examination, our dentists will look at the mouth as well and take X-rays to get a more in-depth understanding of all the oral care needs. Through physical exams and X-rays, our dentists will be able to assess and diagnose any cavities, chips, disease, and decay in the mouth. Patients will also receive a teeth cleaning following their examination. Our dentists will discuss any issues or concerns regarding the exam as well as offer recommendations for care options.
Treatment Aftercare
Our dentists highly recommend that patients receive a dental examination and check-up at least once a year, in addition to cleanings every six months. This ensures optimal dental health. During the exam, our dentists will also be able to educate patients on proper oral hygiene. Regularly brushing, flossing, and rinsing of the teeth with a mouthwash can greatly improve a patient's dental health and prevent severe conditions from occurring.
Emigh Dental Care Reviews
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.
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.
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!
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!
Professional, personable, high quality dental care! Thanks Tammy and Dr Pat and front office staff!
