Costa Mesa is about 20 minutes from Safari Dentistry and Implants by the 405 or by Adams Ave west to Goldenwest St. The Huntington Beach office is led by a board-certified periodontist, which is why Costa Mesa patients come for dental implants, gum grafting and bone grafting, and stay for cleanings, crowns, emergency care and cosmetic dentistry with the same team.
Dental services for Costa Mesa residents
Safari Dentistry and Implants covers the full range of care for Costa Mesa families in one Huntington Beach office: routine exams, cleanings and X-rays, fillings and crowns, and the specialist work that most general offices refer out, because a board-certified periodontist leads the practice.
- Dental Implants for Costa Mesa: single teeth, implant dentures and full-arch All-on-4, placed by the periodontist with in-house CT scanning and bone grafting.
- Cosmetic Dentistry for Costa Mesa: veneers, bonding, whitening and smile makeovers designed on a scan, with the gum line treated first.
- Invisalign for Costa Mesa: clear aligners for adults and teens, planned after a periodontal check.

Why Costa Mesa patients drive to Goldenwest and Heil
Costa Mesa has plenty of general dentists and a growing number of implant centers that advertise a price and then add to it. Patients who drive to Goldenwest and Heil get the opposite: a periodontist who has placed implants for years, a scan they look at with the doctor, and a written fee that already includes the follow-up visits. Medi-Cal Dental, most PPO and HMO plans and monthly payment plans are accepted.
Costa Mesa patients typically pass a dozen dental offices on the way to Goldenwest and Heil, so the reason for the drive is usually a specialist question. A periodontist places the implants and treats the gums here, the CT scan is done in-house, and the fee is quoted in writing before the first appointment ends.
Getting to the office from Costa Mesa
Safari Dentistry and Implants is at 16511 Goldenwest St, Unit 101, Huntington Beach, CA 92647, about 10 miles from Costa Mesa and usually about 20 minutes by car.

The office is at the corner of Goldenwest and Heil with parking in front.
- Hours: Monday to Thursday, 10 AM to 4 PM. Same-day emergency time is held each open day.
- Parking: free, in the lot at the door, with a level entrance.

Insurance and payment for Costa Mesa patients
The office accepts Medi-Cal Dental, most PPO dental plans, most HMO dental plans and private pay, and offers monthly payment plans. Benefits are verified before the first visit, and the fee for any treatment is written down at the consultation, including the follow-up visits, so nothing is added later.
