Preparing for visits from Playa Del Rey

For families in Playa Del Rey’s beachside and residential neighborhoods, visiting our practice involves a trip to Santa Monica. Choosing a dental home across several Westside communities is easier when you know the purpose and expected length of the visit. All care described here is provided at our office on 15th Street.

Check your route from Playa Del Rey using current navigation, especially when coordinating an appointment with school or work. The marina and surrounding road network can affect which route is practical. Before leaving, confirm the address, Suite 206, and any arrival information you need from the office.

Make the most of your appointment

Use the appointment request to explain who needs care and why. If your family is considering ongoing orthodontic visits, ask about the anticipated follow-up schedule before choosing a plan. If the appointment is for a young child, reviewing our first-visit resource together can make the destination and experience feel more familiar.

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 Playa Del Rey families

Do Playa Del Rey patients travel to your Santa Monica office?

Yes. Our address is 1304 15th Street, Suite 206, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Playa Del Rey is a service area; it is not a separate office location.

What should we confirm before traveling for the first visit?

Confirm the appointment time, expected duration, forms and records to bring, and any parking or building-entry questions. If your plans change or you are delayed, contact the office directly.

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.
