Westside care for Los Angeles families

We offer pediatric dentistry and orthodontic services, with information to help you choose the right type of appointment and plan your visit from your part of the city.
Pediatric dentistry & orthodontics
One office in Santa Monica. Families across the Westside.
Find the right starting point for your family
Los Angeles is a large city, and a broad search for a children’s dentist can include practices far from your daily routine. Our location is specifically in Santa Monica, on the Westside. Families considering our practice should use the office address to compare the trip from home, school, or work rather than assuming a Los Angeles service area means an office in their neighborhood.
If you live on the Westside, the dedicated pages for West Los Angeles, Westwood, Mar Vista, Brentwood, and other nearby communities can help orient your planning. For families traveling from farther across Los Angeles, ask about the expected duration of the first visit and the likely schedule for any ongoing care.
Make the most of your appointment
Start by deciding what you need help with: establishing a dental home, evaluating a concern, or exploring orthodontic care. Tell the team your child’s age and the reason for the appointment. If another dentist has recommended treatment, ask how to provide records and what the consultation will cover.
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.

Pediatric dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry page explains the care available for children’s developing smiles, including preventive visits and treatment for cavities. A visit gives parents an opportunity to discuss concerns directly with the dental team.
Orthodontics & Invisalign
Patients interested in orthodontics can explore braces and Invisalign on our service page. The appropriate treatment and timing depend on an individual evaluation, so a consultation is the place to compare options.

Questions from Los Angeles families
Where in the Los Angeles area is your office?
We are in Santa Monica at 1304 15th Street, Suite 206, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Our Los Angeles service area describes the families we welcome, not a second practice address.
Which service area page should I use if I live on the Westside?
Choose the neighborhood or city page that best matches where you live, or use our service areas hub. Every page leads to the same Santa Monica office and links to the relevant services and appointment request.
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.
