Los Alamitos and Rossmoor residents are 15 to 20 minutes from Safari Dentistry and Implants at Goldenwest and Heil in Huntington Beach. The office is led by a board-certified periodontist, so dental implants, gum disease and bone loss are treated in-house, and it also covers cleanings, crowns, emergencies, Invisalign and cosmetic dentistry for adults and children.

Dental services for Los Alamitos residents

Safari Dentistry and Implants covers the full range of care for Los Alamitos 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.

Why Los Alamitos patients drive to Goldenwest and Heil

Patients from Los Alamitos usually arrive with a referral for a periodontist in hand, or with a treatment plan from a general office that recommended one. Here the periodontist is the person who sees you at the first visit, reads the CT scan with you, and does the surgery if you go ahead. The rest of your care does not have to move; cleanings, fillings and crowns are done in the same office by the same team.

Los Alamitos and Rossmoor are small communities with a few dental offices, and residents who need a periodontist have usually been referred a long way for it. Safari Dentistry and Implants is 15 to 20 minutes away and does implant surgery, gum grafting and bone grafting in-house, alongside routine care for the rest of the family.

Getting to the office from Los Alamitos

Safari Dentistry and Implants is at 16511 Goldenwest St, Unit 101, Huntington Beach, CA 92647, about 9 miles from Los Alamitos and usually 15 to 20 minutes by car.

Insurance and payment for Los Alamitos 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.

From the moment I walked in the door, Dr Safari and team welcomed me like family. Everybody was very nice. The office is cute and clean. They addressed all my cares and concerns. I had a very nice experience I highly recommended this place. And they have coffee in the waiting room.

Katherine C, Google review

I've have never been to a better dentistry in all my life! Dr Safari truly cares about her patients and I can't thank her enough for the work that she does. I hadn't been to the dentist in over 10 years thinking I can take care of my teeth pretty well on my own (bad, I know!) I had an immediate dental emergency randomly, and Dr Safari was there for me. To say the least, I actually had a lot of work that needed to be done that was avoided all those years, so my emergency was a blessing in disguise. She is so attentive, kind and an expert at what she does. Honestly Dr Safari and all her staff are such positive people. From Bridgett, Ada and to all the dental assistants. Every single staff member makes you feel they're there to help and so welcoming with their smiles. I'm so grateful for what she has done for me and I value her dedication to helping people. Seriously, thank you!
