The Personal Practice Costa Mesa Chains Can't Match
If you're tired of rotating dentists at a corporate office near Harbor Blvd, you'll notice the difference here. Dr. Tran sees every patient himself, remembers your history, and never rushes.
Advanced Procedures Without the Referral Chain
Costa Mesa patients needing implants, Invisalign, wisdom teeth extraction, or full-mouth reconstruction get it all done by one dentist. No specialist referrals scattered across Orange County.
Mesa Verde Families Have Trusted Us for Years
Many of our Costa Mesa patients come from the Mesa Verde neighborhood. They started with cleanings, stayed for crowns, and now bring their teenagers for Invisalign.
Why Do Costa Mesa Residents Drive to Huntington Beach for Dental Care?
Costa Mesa — with roughly 113,000 residents — has no shortage of dental offices along Harbor Blvd, Bristol Street, and the 17th Street corridor. But many Costa Mesa families, especially from the Mesa Verde and Eastside neighborhoods, choose to make the 15-minute drive to Peninsula Dentistry because they want a dentist who knows them personally. The area near South Coast Plaza and the Orange County Fairgrounds is busy and commercial; our office in the quiet Peninsula Marketplace on the corner of Goldenwest and Garfield feels like a different world.
Dr. Tran has treated Costa Mesa patients since the early 2000s, and many originally came because a friend in the Westside neighborhood recommended him. Two decades later, those same patients bring their kids — and now their kids bring their own families. That kind of multi-generational trust doesn't come from advertising. It comes from showing up, being honest, and doing good work, one patient at a time.
