Make the trip with a clear plan
Westside Pediatric Dental and Orthodontic Group welcomes Malibu families to our Santa Monica office for pediatric dentistry and orthodontic care. If you are traveling along the coast for your child’s appointment, our team can help you understand what the visit is for and what to prepare before you leave.

A practical visit plan for Malibu families
Malibu stretches along the coast, so a family’s starting point can make a substantial difference when planning care in Santa Monica. Our practice is on 15th Street in Santa Monica; please use that address for navigation. This page describes the Malibu community we serve and does not represent a separate Malibu office.
Before scheduling, ask about the expected length of the appointment and whether any records or forms should be provided in advance. Check current coastal road conditions and navigation on the day of the visit. Avoid planning around a guaranteed travel time, particularly when school, work, or another appointment follows the dental visit.
Make the most of your appointment
For a family with more than one child, tell the team which children need care and the purpose of each visit. Ask whether appointment times can be coordinated, subject to availability and each child’s needs. For ongoing orthodontic care, discuss the follow-up commitment early so you can plan repeat trips realistically.
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
From a first dental visit to a question about a cavity, parents can review our pediatric services before making the trip. Explain any active concern when calling so the team can help arrange the appropriate visit.
Orthodontics & Invisalign
Braces and Invisalign involve individualized plans and ongoing monitoring. Malibu patients can use a consultation to ask about suitable options, expected visits, and how to contact the practice if a concern arises between appointments.

Questions from Malibu families
Is your dental office located in Malibu?
The office for these services is in Santa Monica at 1304 15th Street, Suite 206. We serve Malibu families at that location; this is a community service area page.
Can siblings’ appointments be coordinated for the same trip?
Ask the scheduling team about available options. Coordination depends on appointment availability, the type of care, and each child’s needs, so please confirm the arrangements before planning your trip.
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.
