I chose Emerald Coast Dental Spa & Sleep Medicine for my 14 year old daughter that runs XC, secretly grind her teeth and has trouble breathing. They were great. They were able to do I sleep study on her and determined that her air way was limited due to the fact that the arch of her upper and lower teeth was too narrow which pushed her tongue back limiting her breathing. We are more in a program that will remedy that, straighten her teeth and so the grinding without braces. I can't thank them enough! We love you guys!! Kennedy and Stacy

I was very impressed with Emerald Coast Dental Spa. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Treatment plans were explained and they were very upfront about cost. No one was pushy at all. It really did feel like a spa!

Dr. Griffin goes above and beyond. Her dentistry skills are excellent. I have never had a dentist with such strong but gentle hands which reduces the discomfort experienced much less than my previous dentists. Care at Emarald Dental Spa goes beyond oral care. Her treatment and knowledge of sleep apnea is one example but also she treats oral conditions that contribute to medical illness such as diabetes and heart disease. I myself am a physician so I can vouch for the science connecting good oral care to decreased medical illness.

We love Emerald Coast Dental Spa and Sleep Medicine! Everyone is so wonderful! Dr. Griffin has been seeing my kids for the past 3 years. I definitely feel like we're making progress towards proper craniofacial development and hopefully not needing braces or other orthodontic procedures in the future!

I had a new bridge placed today at Emerald Coast Dental Spa. Dr. Griffin's assistant, Heather greeted me and showed me back to a room with all the comforts, including a vibrating exam chair, a blanket, and Rico, the therapy dog. With years of experience, the professional team formulated the perfect dental treatment, gave excellent care, and my teeth are beautiful. Thank you Dr. Griffin for expending your time and energy training to become the best dentist. Your dental skills and knowledge are renown in the field! Marilyn Fenimore

10/10 best dentist office I've ever gone to, I suffer from major anxiety and they truly do everything they can to make the situation much more comfortable, whether is giving me a stress balls, ear plugs, or just having Rico the ESA dog coming in to check in on you. Heather stood by me in full panic mood and was able to make me feel like a big girl and handle it. Thank you to all the awesome staff you have!

I really feel very comfortable in my mouth care here. The only reason I don't give it a 5 star is there's always room for improvement. And you should begin your future oral care here.

Got a broken crown over my visit to PCB last month and needed a check before I returned to my home dentist. After a few calls from my in-network list, I came across Emerald Coast Dental. Victoria, Patient Experience Coordinator, was great and managed to get me in! The warmness and professionalism of Dr. Griffin, Victoria and the entire team was really special and I wanted to be sure to let them know how much I appreciated that! After an okay from Dr. Griffin and no pain involved, I was able to go on and enjoy the rest of my vacation. I met such a wonderful team at Emerald Coast and if I'm ever fortunate enough to move to PCB, I know where I would go for dental treatment. Thank you very much!
