Your Costa Mesa Orthodontist and Family Dentist, One Block from Newport Harbor
Newport-Mesa Orthodontics & Family Dentistry has cared for Costa Mesa families since opening on East 19th Street, a block from Newport Harbor. Two doctors share one practice and one standard. Dr. Divya Agarwal is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a credential held by about one in three orthodontists. Dr. Peter Skuben came to dentistry from a career in aerospace engineering and is a Diplomate of the International Academy of Dental Implantology.
That pairing is why a child’s first orthodontic visit, a teen’s clear aligners, and a parent’s dental implants can all be planned and finished in the same Costa Mesa office. Nothing gets referred across town. The two doctors coordinate directly, so a case that needs both alignment and restoration moves through one plan instead of two.
A Family-Owned Costa Mesa Practice
We are a locally owned Costa Mesa practice, not a chain. The office is paperless, designed to feel nothing like a clinic, and built around the kind of care the doctors would want for their own families.
A Top-Rated Orthodontics and Dental Office in Costa Mesa, 500+ Five-Star Reviews
Newport-Mesa patients keep coming back for the same reasons they tell their Costa Mesa neighbors about us. Appointments run on time. Every step gets explained before it happens. And the technology that drives precise results, iTero digital impressions, i-CAT 3D imaging, and LightForce custom brackets, sits quietly in the background instead of crowding the visit.
We are open every weekday from 7:00am to 7:00pm and Saturday by appointment only, with 24/7 emergency care for active patients. Our financial team builds a payment plan around your life before treatment starts, so the cost is clear from your first consultation.
Orthodontic Services for Costa Mesa Families, Ages Seven Through Adult
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child’s first evaluation by age seven. From there, our Costa Mesa orthodontist treats every stage: two-phase treatment that guides a child’s jaw growth, comprehensive care for teens, and discreet options for adults whose teeth have shifted over time.
We offer six paths to a straighter smile and recommend the one that fits your goals and timeline: traditional metal and self-ligating braces, clear ceramic braces, lingual braces hidden completely behind the teeth, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, Spark clear aligners, and LightForce 3D-printed custom brackets.
Dr. Agarwal is an experienced Incognito lingual and Invisalign provider, Columbia-trained, with her orthodontics residency completed at Boston University. Most standard treatments run about 22 months, and retainers keep the result stable for life.
Meet Your Board-Certified Orthodontist in Costa Mesa: Dr. Divya Agarwal
Dr. Divya Agarwal, “Dr. D” to her patients, finished dental school with high honors at Columbia University, then completed her postdoctoral orthodontics program at Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine. She is an active member of the American Board of Orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontists, and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists.
Board certification is not required to practice orthodontics. Roughly one in three orthodontists earns it. It means a doctor has voluntarily put their clinical judgment in front of a board of peers and committed to recertifying over a career. For a treatment that reshapes a smile over months or years, that standard matters.
Dr. D’s philosophy is straightforward: the highest quality of care, delivered in a Costa Mesa office that stays calm and even enjoyable for patients of every age.
Dental Implants in Costa Mesa, Planned Digitally and Placed by a Diplomate
Dr. Peter Skuben spent his first career as an engineer, working on the F-35 program at Raytheon before turning to dentistry. That mindset, measure twice, plan digitally, execute with precision, shapes every implant case he takes on in Costa Mesa. Each case starts with an i-CAT cone beam scan that maps bone density, nerve paths, and sinus position before he touches a handpiece.
We treat the full range in one office: single-tooth implants that leave neighboring teeth untouched, implant-supported bridges for several missing teeth, full-arch restoration (All-on-4 and All-on-6) often placed the same day, mini implants to stabilize loose dentures, and full-mouth reconstruction for extensive damage.
Implants restore up to 90% of natural bite force, compared with the 25 to 30% that traditional dentures typically provide, and they preserve the jawbone that dentures let erode. For the right candidate, they can last a lifetime.
The Premier Choice for Orthodontics, Implants, and Dentistry in Costa Mesa
Most families end up spread across three practices: an orthodontist for the kids, a dentist for cleanings, a specialist for implants. At Newport-Mesa, every treatment plan begins and ends in the same Costa Mesa office.
That has practical consequences. Patients in orthodontic treatment still get their six-month checkups here, with Dr. Skuben and Dr. Agarwal coordinating directly. A full-mouth reconstruction that needs alignment, gum therapy, and implants moves through one phased plan instead of three disconnected ones.
Below the image:
General dentistry rounds it out: preventive cleanings and oral cancer screening, Lumineers and cosmetic work, crowns and fillings, gum disease treatment, scalpel-free Pinhole gum rejuvenation, sleep apnea appliances, and same-day emergency care, all in one Costa Mesa location.
