Hello, neighbor

Meet Dr. Richard Baldwin, DMD.
Good dentistry, real connection.

Dr. Baldwin is a Washington University School of Dental Medicine graduate who has practiced general, family and cosmetic dentistry in Huntington Beach since 1979. Your visit starts with listening—and your treatment plan starts with a conversation.

Our office is at 8951 Atlanta Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92646, inside Vons Market Center. We welcome patients from Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Westminster, Newport Beach and Long Beach, accept most PPO plans, and keep same-day appointments open for dental emergencies.
