Planning dental visits from Pacific Palisades
For Pacific Palisades parents, a dental appointment often means organizing more than the trip itself. School schedules, caregiver availability, and a child’s comfort all matter. Our Santa Monica location gives your family one practice to contact about pediatric dental care and orthodontic questions, with appointments held at our 15th Street office.
Check current navigation and road conditions before leaving Pacific Palisades, and allow time to reach Suite 206 after you arrive. Travel conditions and access can change, so we do not recommend relying on a fixed drive-time estimate. Call the office ahead of your visit if you need building-entry or parking guidance.
Make the most of your appointment
If your family has changed homes, schools, or routines, mention that when scheduling. A child returning to care after an interruption may have different questions from a child attending a familiar checkup. Share any available dental history and explain what would make the introduction easier for your child.
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 Pacific Palisades families
Where do Pacific Palisades patients come for appointments?
All appointments described on this page are at our Santa Monica office: 1304 15th Street, Suite 206, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Contact the team before traveling if you need arrival guidance.
Can we establish care after a gap in dental visits?
Contact us to discuss an appointment and explain when your child last saw a dentist. Bring available records and a list of questions; the doctor will assess your child’s current needs at the visit.
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.
