Dr. Divya Agarwal,
"Dr. D"

Dr. Divya Agarwal is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a credential held by only one in three orthodontists, recognized worldwide as the highest level of commitment to patient care.

She finished dental school with high honors from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in New York and completed her postdoctoral program in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Divya is an experienced Spark™ Clear Aligners, Incognito™ lingual braces, and Invisalign® provider and brings deep experience with conventional braces.

After practicing in Boston, she relocated to Orange County. She is an active member of the American Board of Orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontists, and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists.

"I treat patients of all ages, I enjoy the opportunity to make a true difference in people's lives. My practice philosophy is to provide the highest quality of care in a fun environment."

dentist · diplomate, iadi
dr. peter skuben.
engineer, then doctor.

Born in Czechoslovakia during the Iron Curtain era, Dr. Skuben’s family resettled in California when he was ten. He first majored in electrical engineering and worked for Raytheon on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program before pursuing a new career in dentistry.

He graduated from the University at Buffalo Dental School and immediately began advanced training: a dental mission to Nicaragua placing implants free of charge, a shadowing under celebrity cosmetic dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman, a mentorship under world-renowned prosthodontist Dr. William Hung, and Diplomate status with the International Academy of Dental Implantology.

He continues to study at the Glidewell Laboratories club, the largest dental lab in the world, to stay on top of the latest in the field.

"We live in an exciting time for dentistry, a lot of new technologies are crossing over from other industries. I invite you to stop by and chat about what's coming."

We’ve had a wonderful experience with this dental office. Dr. Agarwal has been taking excellent care of my son's braces, and we couldn’t be happier with the results and the attention she gave throughout the process. Dr. Skuben has been my dentist for years and always provides exceptional care. Both doctors are knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely care about their patients. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and makes every visit a positive experience. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for outstanding dental care!
Kaitlyn S.
We were from out of state and had an emergency with my son's braces! They got us in immediately! Thank you Newport Mesa Dental.
Christopher I.
just got my braces off, and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. D did an amazing job and made the whole process easy and comfortable. My teeth look great, and I’m so thankful for all his hard work. I highly recommend Dr. D to anyone looking for an orthodontist. Thank you, Dr. D!
Cyndi M.
Omg Jody Did The Best Teeth Cleaning In All My Years Of Teeth Hygiene! Awesome Job! Thank You. 😊

Dr. D took care of me and the ortho experience was great. They use spark clear aligner and it worked really well on my teeth and they look great now. I loved the experience at Newport Mesa orthodontics and family dentistry. Definitely recommended!

Jody is amazing! Always professional, never judges and always take care of me:) it is a very friendly office and they are very attentive with everything I need! Thank you so much!
Kevin K.
I’ve been coming to Newport-Mesa Orthodontics & Family Dentistry for the past few months and I can honestly say it’s the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The entire staff is warm, professional, and incredibly attentive from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. I had both a deep cleaning and crown work done here, and I was shocked at how comfortable everything was. The dental team (lead by Dr. Skuben) checked in with me constantly, explained each step before they did it, and made sure I never felt any pain or anxiety during the appointments. The front desk team is just as impressive – they’re friendly, organized, and on top of scheduling and insurance, which makes the whole process smooth and stress-free. I really feel like they care about their patients as people, not just appointments on a calendar. If you’re nervous about dental work or have been putting off a deep cleaning or crown because you’re worried about pain, I highly recommend Newport-Mesa Orthodontics & Family Dentistry. They’ve completely changed how I feel about going to the dentist.
Andrew W.
Jody is the absolute best! She takes great care of her patients and is very friendly. A true professional. I love this dentist and could not recommend it enough. Thanks for all your help and work !!
