Welcome to Our Practice

Dr. Hiroshige is a Southern California native who earned his dental degree in 1992 from the accelerated, six-year undergraduate/dental school program at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He joined his father’s practice immediately after graduating, where he’s continued to provide high-quality and affordable dental care to the residents of Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Gardena, and the surrounding communities.
Dr. Hiroshige is always broadening and deepening his skillset by attending continuing education seminars. He’s completed advanced programs in Invisalign®, endodontics, and a variety of other specialty dental services. He also stays connected to the dental community through active memberships in the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the Harbor Dental Society, and the Academy for Excellence in Dentistry.
In his practice, Dr. Hiroshige stresses the importance of preventative care, and is dedicated to making his patients’ smiles functionally flawless and aesthetically stunning. He approaches all of his treatments with an unparalleled degree of compassion, creating a warm and friendly environment that relaxes even the most anxious patients. He also believes that everybody deserves a beautiful and healthy smile and puts that belief into practice by keeping his prices reasonable.
Outside of the office, Dr. Hiroshige likes to spend time with his family. His wife, Grace, is also a dentist, and together they have three beautiful children. He also likes to golf, play tennis, coach soccer, and build model airplanes, and has spent 20 years teaching in the children’s ministry at Gardena Valley Baptist Church.
