Fountain Valley is a 10 to 15 minute drive west on Heil or Warner from Safari Dentistry and Implants in Huntington Beach. A board-certified periodontist leads the office, so dental implants, gum disease treatment and bone grafting are done in-house, and the same team handles cleanings, crowns, emergencies and cosmetic dentistry for the whole family.

Why Fountain Valley patients drive to Goldenwest and Heil
Fountain Valley has no shortage of dental offices, so patients who drive to Goldenwest and Heil usually have a specific reason. Most often it is an implant or gum problem they want a periodontist to look at directly, or a treatment plan from another office that they want explained and priced plainly. The office shows you your own CT scan, gives you the plan in writing, and does not ask for a deposit in the chair.
Fountain Valley sits directly east of the office, and the surface streets between the two cities are quicker than the 405 for most trips. Many Fountain Valley patients first came in for a second opinion on an implant or gum surgery quote from a larger group practice, and stayed for routine care.
