Planning care for children at different stages
A younger child's first dental visit and a teenager's orthodontic consultation can raise very different questions. When you contact us from Playa Vista, tell us each child's age, the reason for the visit, and any previous dental experience. Ask whether visits for siblings can be coordinated before planning your trip; availability and appointment lengths vary.
Our pediatric dental team provides examinations, cleanings, and preventive care, with treatment recommendations based on each child's needs. If you are also considering orthodontics, mention this when requesting an appointment so the team can explain whether a separate consultation is needed. A dental checkup and an orthodontic evaluation have different purposes.

Pediatric dentistry
Our pediatric services support children through preventive visits and care for specific dental concerns. Parents can read about examinations, cleanings, sealants, and fillings, then discuss their child’s individual needs with the team.
Orthodontics & Invisalign
Braces and Invisalign are among the orthodontic services available at the Santa Monica practice. A consultation can clarify suitability, practical responsibilities, and the monitoring involved in a proposed plan.

Questions from Playa Vista families
Do Playa Vista patients travel to your Santa Monica office?
Yes. Our address is 1304 15th Street, Suite 206, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Playa Vista is a service area; it is not a separate office location.
Can I arrange visits for more than one child?
Ask the team about coordinating siblings' appointments. Share each child's needs and your preferred dates; the office will confirm what is available before you travel from Playa Vista.
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.
