Richard D. Gentile DDS

The Pacific Coast Highway stretch near Belmont Shore has its share of dental offices, but Richard D. Gentile DDS keeps a low profile while maintaining a near-perfect rating. Google currently shows 4.9 stars from 9 reviews, which suggests consistency in a field where word-of-mouth matters more than flashy signage. This isn’t a chain or a spa-like clinic—just a dentist’s office handling the essentials, from routine cleanings to more involved procedures.

You’ll find it at 5175 Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach, CA 90804, tucked between the usual mix of auto shops and small businesses that line this part of the highway. The area’s a bit more utilitarian than scenic, but that’s the trade-off for easy access if you’re coming from Signal Hill or downtown. No frills, no gimmicks—just the kind of place you’d book for a filling or a checkup when you need something reliable without the upsell.

Phone’s the simplest way to reach them: (562) 597-3321. If you’re mapping it out, the Google listing has the pin dropped right at the entrance. And honestly? In a city where traffic can turn a 10-minute drive into 30, having a dentist this close to the highway isn’t the worst idea.
