Practice Profile Page

Hello, my name is Tina. 5 months ago I was ashamed of my teeth and scared to death of going to a random dentist. All I knew was that I could no longer go on covering my smile or making sure my teeth don’t show when I laugh. I read every review on every dentist possible in the area (Long Beach/Lakewood) and put my trust in Dr. Mangigian’s high ratings. Today not only I give him and his staff 5 stars but I’m so grateful that I made the right choice. You could not find a more qualified and wonderful doctor (Dr. Ray), a more skilled and caring assistant (Katie), a gentler hygienist (Susie) and a more professional manager (Raquel). I never had to wait to be called in, everyone greeted me by name, they were prompt with making appointments, and always took care of any concerns I had down the line. On top of all that, they provide a top-notch dental work. I had crowns done on all my upper teeth, plus a root canal, and cleaning/ whitening. Every procedure was virtually painless and I’m looking forward going back for continuous work. I’m already getting lots of compliments, I can smile without worry and most importantly I got my confidence back. I am highly recommending Dr. Mangigian for all your dental needs.

I’m 40 and my parents have a Polaroid photo of me and my two siblings, hanging in their home when we were young enough to pick a prize from the treasure chest, adorning big pearly white smiles at this Lakewood dentist office. We never understood the stigma and fear of dentists that others spoke of because we were spoiled by the best dentist in SoCal. He and his team have always provided, for 3 generations of Blancos… my kids included, the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. I have only come to learn how good he his by seeking dental services elsewhere only to understand what others were talking about. I get it now. There’s a difference and Dr. Raymond Mangigian is the only man I trust in my mouth with sharp objects and power drills. Getting to know him, my theory is that the motor skills he uses in his leisure playing Jazz Saxophone transfer over into how efficient and delicate his hands can control a syringe or scaler. Think the speed of Doc Holiday, the smooth of Stan Getz and the sweetness of the Tooth Fairy. That’s what I’ve always known a dentist visit to be and why my parents drive from Brea, brother from Orange and my sister and her family drive from Whittier to see Dr. Mangigian. Ignorance of any other dentistry is bliss.

I started going to Dr. Mangigian last year and I no longer fear going to the dentist. I feel very comfortable and confident with Dr. Mangigian’s experience. He and his wonderful staff are always so very courteous and friendly. They are truly a team of professionals. If you have the need for a new dentist I would highly recommend Dr. Mangigian. Plus, no lengthy periods of sitting in the waiting room wondering when your name will be called. They are very prompt!

Dr. Mangigian is a fabulous dentist! He is very gentle which makes it a pleasant experience. He is honest and trustworthy, which is hard to come by these days! Before I went to him, I hated my smile because my front teeth are very short. He did veneers to make my teeth longer and now I love my smile. I even got to pick out which shade of white I wanted them. He did a great job.
