Westminster residents are a short drive down Goldenwest St from Safari Dentistry and Implants, a periodontist-led dental office at Goldenwest and Heil in Huntington Beach. The office handles everyday dentistry, dental implants, gum treatment, emergencies and cosmetic work in one place, and it accepts Medi-Cal Dental along with most PPO and HMO plans.
Dental services for Westminster residents
Safari Dentistry and Implants covers the full range of care for Westminster 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 Westminster: 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 Westminster: veneers, bonding, whitening and smile makeovers designed on a scan, with the gum line treated first.
- Invisalign for Westminster: clear aligners for adults and teens, planned after a periodontal check.
- Porcelain Veneers for Westminster: porcelain and composite veneers designed on a scan, with a trial smile before any enamel is touched.
- Dental Bridges for Westminster: fixed bridges that replace one to three missing teeth in two visits, priced next to the implant alternative.
- Emergency dentist: same-day appointments Monday to Thursday for toothache, broken teeth, swelling and lost crowns.
- Periodontist and gum disease treatment: deep cleanings, gum grafting, crown lengthening and laser treatment by the specialist.
- General dentistry: exams, cleanings, digital X-rays and fillings for children and adults.
- Crowns and dentures: ceramic crowns, partials, full dentures and implant-retained dentures.
Why Westminster patients drive to Goldenwest and Heil
Patients from Westminster tend to come for two reasons. The first is implants and gum problems handled by a board-certified periodontist rather than a general dentist who refers out. The second is a straightforward answer on cost: the office writes the fee and the insurance estimate down at the consultation, which is not the norm along Bolsa Ave. The drive is short enough that a 10 AM appointment on Goldenwest fits before work or errands.
Westminster shares a border with Huntington Beach, and the Goldenwest corridor connects the two cities without a freeway. Many patients live closer to this office than to practices on Beach Blvd or Bolsa Ave. The practice accepts Medi-Cal Dental, which matters to a large share of Westminster households, and the front desk quotes fees in writing before any treatment.
Getting to the office from Westminster
Safari Dentistry and Implants is at 16511 Goldenwest St, Unit 101, Huntington Beach, CA 92647, about 3 miles from Westminster and usually about 10 minutes by car. Goldenwest St runs straight south out of Westminster into Huntington Beach. Stay on it past Bolsa Ave, Westminster Blvd, McFadden and Edinger; the office is on the right at Heil Ave, just before Warner.

- Parking: free, in the lot at the door, with a level entrance.
- Patients come from: Little Saigon along Bolsa Ave, the Westminster Mall area at the 405, the Civic Center district and Midway City on the Huntington Beach border.
Insurance and payment for Westminster 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.
