Newport Beach residents drive about 25 minutes up Pacific Coast Highway or the 405 to Safari Dentistry and Implants in Huntington Beach. The office is led by a board-certified periodontist, so implants, gum recession and bone loss are handled by the specialist who trained for them, and the same team plans veneers, Invisalign and whitening around healthy gums.
Dental services for Newport Beach residents

Why Newport Beach patients drive to Goldenwest and Heil
The Newport Beach patients who come to Goldenwest and Heil tend to be careful buyers. They have had a quote for veneers or an implant elsewhere and want a specialist to look at the gums first, because a new smile on receding or inflamed gums does not last. They want to see their own CT scan and hear the options, including the ones that cost less. And they want the fee in writing, with follow-up visits included.
Newport Beach patients rarely lack for cosmetic dentists close to home. The ones who drive up PCH to Goldenwest and Heil are usually looking for something the smile-focused offices do not offer: a periodontist who checks and treats the gum line before veneers or implants go in, and a written fee that does not move.
