Considering a Santa Monica practice from Culver City

Choosing a dental practice from Culver City means weighing the services you need against the practical demands of ongoing visits. Our Santa Monica location offers both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Families can start with the type of appointment that matches their current concern and ask how future visits might be planned.

Travel from Downtown Culver City, Carlson Park, or another local neighborhood will vary by starting point and traffic. Use the complete Santa Monica address in navigation, and confirm the expected appointment length before arranging school or work commitments. Contact the office if you need guidance for your first arrival.

Make the most of your appointment

If your child has been seeing another dental practice, ask how to share recent records before the appointment. If the visit is for orthodontic advice, bring your questions about treatment choices, follow-up needs, and costs. Getting those questions organized helps you make the most of the time you have set aside.

Get to know pediatric dentists Dr. Bernard Gross and Dr. Michael Kleinman, and orthodontist Dr. Gary Saltz. Their profiles explain their backgrounds and approach to care.

Questions from Culver City families

Can Culver City families become patients at your practice?

Yes. We welcome Culver City families at our Santa Monica office, 1304 15th Street, Suite 206. Contact the team to discuss the type of appointment you need.

Can I ask about treatment costs before committing to care?

Yes. Ask the team how fees, insurance benefits, and payment questions are reviewed. A treatment-specific estimate depends on the examination and proposed plan; confirm the details with the office.

What should we bring to a first appointment?

Ask which new-patient forms are needed, and have your child’s medical and dental history, medication information, and insurance details available. Contact us about sharing recent dental records or X-rays before the visit. Our first-visit page explains what to expect.

How do we check insurance and appointment availability?

Call 310-362-6529 or use the appointment request page. Share your plan details and the type of care you are seeking. Confirm coverage, possible out-of-pocket costs, and the appointment time with the team; submitting a request does not by itself confirm a booking.
