Who we are
Safari Dentistry and Implants is a dental practice in Huntington Beach, California, led by Dr. Safari, a board-certified periodontist, with a general dentistry team in the same office. The practice treats adults and children from Huntington Beach, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove and Seal Beach for dental implants, gum disease, emergencies, cosmetic dentistry and everyday care.
How the office works
Three things are true at every visit, and they are the reason the practice exists in this form.
- Specialist hands. Implants and gum treatment are planned and performed by a periodontist, not referred out and not improvised. The office has its own cone-beam CT scanner, panoramic X-ray and intraoral scanner, so planning happens on your images the same day.
- Plain answers. You see the scan, you hear every option, and the cost is written down with your insurance estimate before anything starts. No deposit is asked for in the chair.
- Everyone gets in the chair. Medi-Cal Dental, most PPO and HMO plans, private pay and payment plans. Oral sedation is available for nervous patients. Nine of the last ten Google reviews mention the staff, and the words that repeat are friendly, kind and warm welcome.
Dr. Safari, periodontist
Dr. Safari completed dental school and a three-year residency in periodontics, the specialty of gum disease, gum surgery and dental implants, and holds board certification in that specialty. In the office, Dr. Safari performs the periodontal exams, deep cleanings for advanced cases, laser therapy, gum grafting, crown lengthening, bone grafting, sinus lifts and implant placement, and reviews every implant plan with the patient on screen.
For the practice to confirm before launch: Dr. Safari’s full name, dental school, residency program, certifying board and year, and years in practice. This paragraph is written from the practice’s own published description and will be updated with the confirmed details.
